Obama and Clinton Supporters Must Drop Out of the Race
By cscs - March 5, 2008, 9:12AM

I think one thing is clear this far into the Democratic primary race: Both Obama's and Clinton's supporters must now drop out of the race.

Hillary Clinton's supporters have gotten incredibly annoying, with their chants of "Yes She Can," and charges of cultism and their desperate yelps of schadenfreude every time Clinton looks like she might actually be "recapturing the lead" that she never had.

And Obama's supporters, yes, you too are incredibly annoying, with your accusations of Clintonian Republicanism and your whiny little cries about how you're going to take your ball and run home if your candidate doesn't win the primary.

Supporters of both candidates, please listen closely. For the good of the Party -- no, for the good of the Nation! -- the time has come for you to leave this race.

No more late nights in front of MSNBC. No more blogging. No more reading TPM. No more arguing at the watercooler, or at the happy hour after work at TGIF's.

Find a hobby -- knitting is really getting popular these days!

:rofl: If it wasn't on TPM Cafe, I'd almost think this was written by a DUer!

1. That's awesome.

2. It's funny cos it's true

Though I think it should be made clear that it is only a vocal minority on each side that behave like this, and the majority of Clinton and Obama supporters are capable of acting like adults. It's just hard to hear them for all the screaming from the howler monkeys.

3. Just read that over there on their Reader Blogs

and came to post it if it hadn't been already. ;)

Some of the comments are fun. My favorite reply by the OP:

You're obviously a Clinton supporter.

Or an Obama supporter.

Not sure which is worse. Whichever is worse, that's what you are.

:rofl:

This thread will sink, of course, because it isn't flamebait.

5. I Like This Suggestion

What do you say we all just declare "to hell with it-let THEM fight it out" and go grab a few cold beers together?

8. I'd recommend we all take up organic gardening and homebrewing

also, home cheese-making. Ms. NS and I mad a kick-ass chevre a few weeks ago. All of these activities are healthy, constructive, and yield delicious results if you do it right.

Hit it out of the park.

12. Someone had to say it

This behavior is really getting out of hand.

Perpective, people, perspective!

14. Too funny, and all too true.

15. I like the fact that grown ups from both camps are enjoying CSCS's suggestion.

It's the silence from all you panic monkeys that has me worried. But, no worries. I think most of your are only panic-bots and not actual humans.

16. What if they threw a wild-eyed smear thread, and nobody came?

:shrug:

Let them sink, unanswered. Let the OP's bloviate how people ignoring them means its an unanswerable charge. Let them, because it ultimately won't change anything even completely unanswered. Or even better, make one post that reads "For the truth, PM x" and then everyone who wants to hear the counter to the smear for off-line or other website purposes could just PM, with no unending back and forth.
