The lack of graciousness of the Obama supporters who are unable to even

[saracat]

allow the Clinton supporters their moment of victory is really disappointing. There are some really fine Obama supporters who had already made plans to be gracious to the Hillary supporters if Hillary lost but they are apparently not joined in their graciousness by others now that Hillary has won these primaries. It is really too bad some are trying to find a way of "cheapening" or denying her win. Obama won some primaries and no one took credit away or denied his wins were worth anything.

Good to see you tonight. :hi:

3. We learned the bitterness and poor sportsmanship from Hillary Cliton.

[ClericJohnPreston]

30. You are all caricatures....

You Obamatons just have to find a way to blame Hillary, even for your OWN juvenile antics.

You people have really lost a hold on reality.

[scheming daemons]

4. "no one took credit away or denied his wins were worth anything."

A) Hillary herself never acknowledged losing any primaries to Obama

B) Hillary supporters completely disregarded the importance of the 28 states that Obama has won.


Get off your high horse. Hillary supporters completely ignored every win Obama has had.


and NOW! They are completely ignoring the fact that two states... Wyoming and Mississippi... even EXIST!

5. repeat that last sentence you wrote out loud. then think about how much truth there is in it.

[hendo]

6. It would be far easier

to congratulate her on her victory if the hrc supporters werent being such bad winners.

[saracat]

10. I actuallu haven't noticed any "bad winners' yet but i will call out those see.

It isn't right on either side.

[anigbrowl]

13. Go find a mirror then

I can't believe you're complaining about this.

[americanstranger]

20. Check the post with the header 'WAAAAAAAH!'

Gracious winner, that one.

There are a few more. If the ignore function was working tonight, I'd probably start using it.

7. You must be new here. She hasn't had any graciousness since this shit began.

You must not have been here for NH, NV, and Super Tuesday.

[seabeyond]

8. republicans kept quiet when bush did it to mccain. i cant/wont be quiet

on the last couple days of clintons campaign. i am sorry that you are disappointed in me that i cannot graciously congratulate her and you. but i have been yelling at republicans and rw christians for 8 yrs for allowing bushco methods and dissing his opponent and the cowardliness and weakness that they did not stand up to their own people.

now you want me to be quiet. and i cant. i am sorry. and i am sorry. i wish hillary didn't pull this shit, but SHE did.

[TexasLady]

9. Well I can't speak for anyone else

Im super proud of our Campaigners. I so did want to see Obama lead better. But I feel priviledged and happy to be a part of all of this election process.

Im proud of Hillary tonight. Good grief, we are supposed to all be on the same team!

Anyone but Gramps yall!

[anigbrowl]

11. Geez, Obama opened his speech by acknowledging Clinton's victory...

and a whole bunch of people commented on how classy that was and how it was the right thing to do. The OP gets upset even when she wins. Have a lollipop or something.

[doublethink]

12. Chill out ..... it's your night ...... right ? You won? Smile :)

Get off the computer and celebrate for awhile !!! Congratulations !!! More time for the hate, and sowing the bitterness tomorrow. Peace. :hug:

14. It's 3 AM and somewhere Hillbots are bitching about a lack of graciousness.

Poor babies!

15. Oh, I see....The "Kitchen Sink" worked. Congratulations.

[babylonsister]

17. I'm an Obama supporter and have complimented her. What about me? nt

[saracat]

27. I mentioned the graciousness in the OP. You are a very gracious Obama supporter.

Always have been. This is directed at those who have been tacky tonight, not you Babylon Sis or any of the other gracious supporters.

[emilyg]

37. You are always gracious.

[babylonsister]

50. Thanks. I wasn't always, but I'm getting better, because it's needed. nt

[gaspee]

18. That's kinda funny

to even expect them to suck it up because they were just about the least gracious winners I've ever seen.

I expected them to be horrible losers. If you can't be a gracious winner, there's no way you're gonna have any dignity when you lose.

[revolve]

19. Pot, I would like you to meet Kettle nt/

[FrenchieCat]

21. Maybe if you weren't clumping Obama supporters as if they operate with

one mind, you'd get the respect you think you deserve....which is none.

I'm a independent contractor.......who doesn't take marching orders.

She won certainly....but she did it with her kicthen sink. Congrats to her, but it is or should be a hollow victory to anyone with a empathetic bone in their body.

[Bluenorthwest]

39. But on the other hand

A South Carolina victory built on a foundation of minority baiting, Bible thumping and religious pandering is something to be proud of? How does that work exactly?
Hyporcrisy is ugly, but it is the hubris that brings you down.

[Andromeda]

48. Why are you so bitter?

I don't care if you don't respect me because all that means is that you have a pretty low opinion of yourself. You don't know me and vice-versa so I don't take it personally. You seem to take this whole campaign, and Obama, very personally.

And your last remark is very strange.

[Levgreee]

22. "Obama won some primaries and no one took credit away or denied his wins were worth anything." wrong

[1awake]

23. I got your back saracat! Congratz! n/t

[Lisa0825]

25. Considering all the posts addressed to

O-bots and Obamatrons, I am not feeling very gracious.... especially after reading so many complaints this week about the terms like "Hillbot." Hillary supporters have been complaining about the same things they throw at us, so y'all make it hard to feel like being gracious.

All that being said, when it comes to the GE, I will be THRILLED as long as a Dem wins.

[ClericJohnPreston]

28. Hello saracat....

As usual, I agree wholeheartedly with your post. According to all the Obamatons, the Earth will go off into deep space, now that Hillary has won. Chicken Littles all, they shriek hysterically that all is lost.

Gotta hand it to the Obamatons, they keep things in such wonderful perspective.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........

[saracat]

31. Hey!Iwas wondering where you were! great to see you agin CJP!

[bling bling]

71. You are really creepy. Just...creepy. n/t

[ClericJohnPreston]

73. By Obamaton standards

that means I'm a rational man with perception and objectivity. You know, those qualities you will never possess you juvenile clown.

[casus belli]

29. Because there are no shortage of "sore winner" posts

Bah, screw this. Waste of time.

36. Here's an honest, non-snarky answer

I'd really like to congratulate the Clinton supporters and look forward to another few weeks or months of political junkie heaven, but her campaign tactics have really disgusted me over the past week.

I'm not a huge Obama{bot,driod,whatever}, I just think he's a better strategic choice than Hillary. But I know that his best response now is to go after her hard, bring up Norman Hsu and Marc Rich and, for all we know, Whitewater and the Rose Law Firm. It's going to get nasty, it's going to ugly and it's going to kill a lot of the enthusiasm that has built up for Democrats over this primary season.

I think Hillary staying in this race is bad for the party and bad for the country. Her scorched-earth, Rove-inspired politics hurt herself as much as they hurt Obama. My fear is that, by the time we get to the convention, the nominee will be too damaged to win against McCain in the fall.

[seabeyond]

41. i rarely agree with you and agree with all here. i am not obama fan

though i voted for him, but not high on enthusiasm. and i mean it sincerely too, without snarkiness. i hadnt been in this gp room at all. came in yesterday and saw what hillary was doing and that was it..... HATE the dirty politics.

and you are right. since so many hillary supporters are now saying dirty politics ok, way it is suppose to be, always has been. who would you prefer in a fight. why of course, the one that plays dirty

then really, .... doesnt that leave obama open for all the many many clinton weaknesses.

i would prefer not to see it. or for obama to reduce himself to it.

[NJSecularist]

38. "Obama won some primaries and no one took credit away or denied his wins were worth anything."

ROFLMAO!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You're joking, right?

Where have you been since February 6th? The Hillary supporters have been trying to downplay all of Obama's wins for a month now.

[Yes We Did]

46. That was the funniest thing I've ever read on here.

All I heard was, oh those states don't count. And that was probably the nicest comment.

[donheld]

55. With bald faced lies like that she wonders why

people aren't as gracious as she'd like. Some nerve.

[barack the house]

42. Congratulations meet you at the next primary. =)

[Yes We Did]

43. I will look for you after Obama wins his next and see if you aren't doing the same.

[Beacool]

45. What do you expect from kids????

They need to grow up, they still think that Obama walks on water. The problem is that, like someone said on CNN, he has a glass jaw.

[RiverStone]

47. A negative post to complain about negative posts...

:shrug:

Please don't use a broad brush saracat; I posted in a few threads congrats to Hillary and her supporters tonight.

Hillary's success today will carry on the trench wars another month or 2 or 3.

If anything, we (the Dems/DU) are more polarized then ever and it grows worse.

No need to add to it.

Somehow, we will need to reunify as a party when this is all over. Insulting the other candidate or his/her supporters NEVER works. And I don't care which side your on.

peace~:)

[bling bling]

49. Another day, another condescending lecture from Saracat.

Always the same tone, always reprimanding people. Always selective and willfully blind. Just change the date and whomever it is you're supporting and the message is the same.

You are nothing, if not predictable.

[babylonsister]

51. Wow. You are SO right! Ha!

I don't care because I recognize some names, I know where they're going. I love truth!

[donheld]

59. Hear Hear!

[fishwax]

52. It's also sad how many HRC folk have used their limited OPs on this historic night to criticize

Obama supporters. But oh well, to each their own.

"It is really too bad some are trying to find a way of "cheapening" or denying her win. Obama won some primaries and no one took credit away or denied his wins were worth anything."

Actually, that's happened to Obama supporters all the time. Two weeks ago was a pretty big night for Obama and his supporters, and there were the usual cries of cult, of "he only wins open primaries," of "he doesn't win democratic states," and, of course, a sudden surge in "I'll never vote for him in the general election" posts. So, yeah, Obama supporters have faced the same thing. (And, just as some HRC supporters are using their posts to bash Obama supporters rather than to celebrate their win, two weeks ago there were Obama folk doing the same thing in reverse.)

[Medusa]

53. Your "victory" is a loss for the Democratic party

why should we "celebrate"? Go ahead have your little "victories" tonight. It won't do us any good come november if she's the nominee.

[FlyingSquirrel]

54. Congrats to Hillary

She's doing better than expected, so kudos to her.

Unfortunately this is gonna get really ugly now. The last 2 months will be nothing compared to what we're about to experience - Obama will not go down without a fight and Clinton has proven that negative campaigning can give her an edge when she needs it.

I'm expecting to see the gloves come off now and I'm

:scared:

for the party.

[AX10]

56. Many of them are left wing activists.

Extremists. I expect no grace from them what so ever.

[anonymous171]

58. Aren't we on a left wing site?

You must be from the DLC. My bad.

[AX10]

64. According to the rules, Democrats of all stripes are allowed here.

[anonymous171]

65. Why are you opposed to democratic activists then?

[HillsNoFrills]

57. I'm totally with you.

[fishwax]

66. how nice of you to edit out the n-word of the subject lines in both of your posts

Gee, i wonder what your third post will be like.

[HillsNoFrills]

[CyberPieHole]

60. Great post, saracat...

but I'm afraid it's fallen on deaf ears (or blind eyes) as the case may be. But I agree with you completely.

:kick: and rec

[mattclearing]

61. I'll give her credit for winning, but I think she ran a pretty nasty campaign.

Definitely getting into Bush/McCain South Carolina 2000 territory in terms of shady tactics, innuendo, etc.

It's worth something. She won. If it were against a Republican, I'd probably be cool with it. But against someone who is still fairly likely to be the standard bearer or even a VP, and at very least a rising star in the Party for decades to come, it seems wrong to me. I can handle a campaign going negative against the bad guys, but this is some serious infighting, and you can see from GD-P that it's toxic for the party.

Still, she won, she got some more delegates, and I congratulate her for that.

[TheDonkey]

62. Hillary slimed her way to victory and should be ashamed. SHAME ON YOU OBAMA?

I don't think so. Shame on you Hillary Clinton for corrupting politics once again with division, innuendo and filth.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

63. Hillary never congratulated him once. What does that say about her?

I know what I think it does.

[Blondiegrrl]

68. I see an awful lot of gloating from the Clinton camp tonight.

Why should anyone be motivated to be gracious losers in the face of such nastiness?

[Oilwellian]

70. I'll congratulate both candidates

Hillary won the popular vote but didn't gain near enough delegates to put a dent in Obama's overall lead. :D

[hfojvt]

72. that might have something to do with the fact

that Hillary's wins tonight are an unmitigated disaster for the Democratic party. We could have picked a nominee tonight. Instead the groundhog saw his shadow and we will have seven more weeks of Democratic infighting before the next real contest, which will again not decide anything so we move on to Indiana and North Carolina and South Dakota and Puerto Rico. Especially now that Hillary found that negative campaigning works and that Republicans have a nominee and thus have no reason not to switch and cause trouble for the Democrats in the remaining primaries.

But we should somehow be gracious and charming about the fact that the candidate we have opposed and detested since the beginning of the campaign now has a reason to stay in the race even though she hopefully still cannot win it, or worse yet, might still find a way to win. Don't expect there to be joy in mudville when some people believe that the results of the game really do matter.

[Skittles]

74. they hate her more than they love him

it surely seems that way
