I cannot wait until the nomination is over and done.
This place has become a cesspool of insults and racism and sexism and homophobia and elitism and every horrible thing imaginable from a choice set of people on both sides.

All you ridiculous Clinton haters, will you vote for her if she becomes the nominee? All you ridiculous Obama haters, will you vote for him if he becomes the nominee? Then stop fucking tearing either one of them down now. Deal with the issues, and stop the stupidity.

They BOTH have great strengths and weaknesses. But they are what we have.

3. I absolutely will.
The thought of McSame being in the White House gives me nightmares.

5. Hillary deserves a good deal of the blame.
More than her supporters. She repeatedly slung insults at Obama before he ever even thought of replying in kind.

Not excusing the vitriol from either candidate's supporters, but at least let's be fair in who we blame for starting this nastiness before we try and reconcile.

8. tell me, what are the male equivalents of "fucking whore, bitch, etc"
and when have they been used against obama on these boards? the vitriol and venom and sheer ugliness of some of the comments against Sen. Clinton on these boards is astounding.

10. I don't know, what is the female equivalent of "Blacks can't win"?
:eyes:

But seriously - what is more astounding to you: comments on an internet message board, or the actual candidate saying she preferred the Republican challenger over her own Democratic running mate?

6. Absolutely
This place has become a wonderful microcosm of assholery on both sides. I will be so happy when this is done, perhaps then we can get back to exposing the republicans as the evil shits they are and get over the petty shit being floated around here.

11. Finally !
I feel the same way and that is the reason I don't come here very often anymore. I feel like I'm dealing with some very immature "adults". I try to read topics but there is always someone slamming someone, mostly Hillary. It is just becoming too difficult to stay informed. Thanks for posting this!
