I apologize to everyone I offended here for calling Hillary a Bitch.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

I regret making that post last night and I would have
deleted it, if I had been home at my computer. To all
of you I offended, I am sorry.

Although I still think the elephant in the room is
her staying in the race when it is mathematically
close to impossible for her to win, I do think,
after listening to her last night, that she is
a very knowledgable person. She has a very strong
grasp of issues and I believe would work very
hard to make things happen.

Up until last night, I said I would never, in a
million years vote for her if Obama didn't get
the nomination. I still don't like her - but now
I am eating my words because I believe I
would vote for her over not voting or voting
for McPain.

49. Well, when even her supporters call her an underDOG, it's to be expected that 'bitch' comes to mind.

:shrug:

[BobRossi]

2. Don't apologize.

If some can't handle the truth, then to quote Hillarious: "Screw em".

[0007]

3. No apology is necessary. Your feelings are certainly understandable.

[sshan2525]

4. She may, in fact, be a "bitch"....

but I don't think that, in and of itself, disqualifies one from being president. On her worst day she's still preferable to McSame.

[Medusa]

36. ain't no "may" about it.

IS, always has been, and always will be are the correct verbs to use in regards to a certain person's bitchhood.

[ruggerson]

5. Very cool

you're a good human being. Heartfelt apologies are the mark of a humble, wise and centered individual.

[bowens43]

6. I've been trying to avoid the 'B' word

but Hillary is making it nearly impossible.

[uberblonde]

20. Yes, those who attack women...

Always find a way to blame it on the woman.

And they say sexism is dead.

[ShortnFiery]

8. This is rich! An apology from a pro-Hillary supporter.

:crazy:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Yep - It was really hard standing in the cold for 12 hrs straight on election

day here holding up my Obama sign and making a couple hundred phone
calls begging people to vote for him - when I was really a Clinton
supporter ! :sarcasm:

[ronnykmarshall]

25. And we thank for you under cover work.

Oh "the goose flies a dawn" ....

[ShortnFiery]

27. Well, I must still hold firm, by the HISTORY of your posts, one would think you 100% for HRC.

No, like some folks here who trash Obama with his sig displaying ... not all is as it seems.

I take you at your word ... "as far as I know." :shrug:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. Hey, I'm trying to be nice (for a change) but I have no freakin idea

what the hell you are talking about ! Until today, I've never
said one single kind word about Hillary, never.

It is a wee bit early to start drinking, isn't it?

[ShortnFiery]

38. No, I'm sober. It's an trending tentative undercurrent within your posts, but I could be wrong.

If so, then I suggest that sometimes Obama's supporters really don't assist him as a candidate. I know that I certainly qualify at times when I get TOO fired up. :blush:

I hope you have a good day whomever you are rooting for.

[mtnester]

44. Way to go...publicly eating one of your own

amazing.

Downthread I will be posting a thank you to the OP then probably screaming at tomorrow, because the OP has been consistent in their support for Obama.

Thanks for the peek into bizzaro world...it was rather scary, yet not unexpected.

[ShortnFiery]

46. Oh please, I admitted to having been "wrong" at times: if you feign self-righteousness and above sin

then YOU are a perfect supporter of HRC. :P On the forgoing, I'm certain.

[mtnester]

51. Doesn't change the fact, even your so called apology was less than sincere

suspect posts, undercurrents...ooohhhhh.

Your words in your mea culpa:

" No, I'm sober. It's an trending tentative undercurrent within your posts, but I could be wrong.
If so, then I suggest that sometimes Obama's supporters really don't assist him as a candidate. I know that I certainly qualify at times when I get TOO fired up.

I hope you have a good day whomever you are rooting for. "


And I was not speaking about myself, I was talking to, and about you.....No self righteousness, simple amazement, with a healthy dose of amusement was all that was thrown your way. Oh, and the "pointing out" of the obvious.




:hi:

[ShortnFiery]

54. Yes, if ya haven't noticed not everyone here is "above board" - I could be wrong

but unfortunately people who are self-righteous enjoy belittling people THE MOMENT when their behavior is criticized.


Hell, if I didn't know better, I'd think that you're BITTER? ;)

[mtnester]

55. Just observant

[ShortnFiery]

58. That's the point, YOU are so desperate to score "Junior High Clique" points that

it is satisfying for you to jump in and self-righteously ATTACK someone because YOU, of course are above being wrong ... just like HRC.

[mtnester]

56. Just observant

Have a good day now!

[ShortnFiery]

59. And to you ...

May Peace Be With You fellow DU Poster. :hi:

[ronnykmarshall]

9. We all lose it sometimes.

I lean toward Obama but I never saw Clinton as some kind of crypto-Republican. She'd make an excellent president; as Thom Hartmann points out, she'd probably be a lot better than her husband at the job.

[NJmaverick]

10. It's understandable

You know good leaders are capable of inspiring. Obama inspires people to try and work together. He inspires hope and the better parts of human nature. Hillary also inspires. She inspires people to act their worse. She inspires anger and bitterness.

In the end, that is probably the most critical difference between the two candidates.

[comradebillyboy]

64. we can see how Obama brings out the best in his

supporters right here at DU GD-P.


after all, if one does not support Obama, one must be an enemy of the party, right?

[jefferson_dem]

11. No need to apologize.

You are a proud Democrat who wants what's best for our party and this country. That...is nothing to apologize for!

:thumbsup:

[nuncvendetta]

12. No apology necessary

I'd never call her that, but I usually imply it in conversations with family and friends by pointing out her hypocrisy, disingenuous positions, and complete lack of understanding regarding the unworkability of some of her policy positions. so for me, it's one part personality and two parts substance. I'm all for Obama not because of his charisma, but because he's the first candidate in my lifetime who has put together cohesive policy approaches that my trained eye believes are actually workable. THe proof for me is in the pudding, not the buzz or lights or soundbytes or gossip.

[sellitman]

13. I try to save that kind of vittrol for repiggies.

After all they are the real enemy. I agree that Hillary did a good job last night. It didn't change my mind about who I want in the Whitehouse though. Barack was under attack last night so I give him a Mulligan. He has weathered worse and still manages to come out looking very Presidential. I expect him to loose PA by 10 points or less and rap up the nomination afterwards.

[Adelante]

14. Thank you, Laura

:hi:

[DemVet]

15. Good thread. Recommended.

It's easy to get carried away when arguing.

I don't get offended by people on here, however, even though I can be just as bad as others.

Peace.

[thevoiceofreason]

33. I agree DemVet

And I get carried away too. Once the dust clears, we'll gfocus on the real opponent.

[Bensthename]

16. Agreed. I've been a little harsh on her my self..

[MoJoWorkin]

17. Why apologize? Hillary was proud of the title when given to her by SNL.

Words can't describe the loathing I have for her, but I will keep it to myself, as it does little good. Donating to Obama every time she ticks me off is a more constructive way to deal with it.

[comradebillyboy]

65. nice job of keeping it to yourself there

about how much you loath HRC.

[Window]

18. Well. But. Hmmmm.

That was very nice of you to apologize, but totally unnecessary.

[JohnnyLib2]

19. Thank you. Sounds like you are being objective about her

effective performance last night.

"The math" may or may not change, but the "very knowledgeable person with ....a very strong grasp of issues" was certainly there to be seen last night.

Recommended.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Yes. If I only liked and respected her as a person - I'd be happy.

someone on the news mentioned that the other day - it was kind of
an analysis of Mark Penn - and how instead of realizing that
Hillary had a lot of repair work to do to make people like her
more - he steered her instead toward "experience". As a result,
her likeability has eroded even more.

I do think that knowing all she knows illustrates how much
time and effort she must devote to reading and research and
listening. It's a good indicator that she would devote
the same amount of effort to getting things actually
accomplished as well.

[Rosemary2205]

23. I think the fact Hillary is a bitch is a GOOD thing!

The woman does know how to kick someone's ass. She's not my first pick but I won't have any reservations getting behind her to unleash the bitch all over McCain's wrinkly old butt.

[Beacool]

24. Thank you for the apology.

Hillary is just running a campaign, maybe some people think that she just should fold her tent but plenty of her supporters don't want her to do it.

Why? Because we honestly think that she's much more experienced and ready to be president than Obama. She's a policy wonk and truly cares for people. I think that she would be a great president. Obama is a talented man and I would like to have seen him run in the future, just not this year.

This has not been an extremely nasty campaign by most standards, despite what some of you think.

:hi:

[Armstead]

26. I'd only apologize for the word "bitch" were I you. But "jerk" would be appropriate/

I wrote a locked thread, in anger at her decision to amplify Hannity's crap about William Ayers.

I don't apologize.

[barack the house]

28. As I have said I'm on "democratic underground" and I'll do as it says on the tin.

Still, doesn't mean we can't be disappoited in candidates thouhg.

[FlyingSquirrel]

29. I called her worse things, but only under my breath.

[Greyskye]

31. Thank you from an Obama supporter.

[comradebillyboy]

66. nice graphic there

and very true too

[rodeodance]

32. Thank you Laura--I am glad you had the opportunity to listen to the debate last night.

[bigwillq]

37. I'm happy you apologized.

Thank you.

You can dislike a person, and even hate them, but nothing is achieved by calling them names. You're better than that. :)

but on the human being level

i`m going to fix myself some



and hope this silliness goes away

[JVS]

52. I'm offended that you didn't stick to your guns

[ampad]

53. Same here

That post didn't offend me.

[Beaverhausen]

60. thanks for this thread. I think it's important to keep the discussion here a bit more civil

and name calling doesn't help - and certainly doesn't make your candidate any more favorable.

[MoonRiver]

62. I thank you for that.

It's sad that so many of your co-supporters are still totally hate infested. Hate only hurts the people who witness to it.

Anyway, thanks again LPYB. :hug:

[libbygurl]

63. Appreciate your sincere apology and open-mindedness about Hillary. Thank you. nt

67. kudos to you for being an open minded being
