OMG!! Crowd Chants 'OBAMA-OBAMA' During Clinton Speech at NC Dinner Tonight

[truthpusher]

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/05/clinton-says-sh.html

"ABC News' Eloise Harper and Sunlen Miller reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., had to endure cheers for Sen. Barack Obama and boos for the North Carolina governor, who has backed her, at the North Carolina Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Raleigh, N.C., Friday evening -- where both she and Obama spoke.

Toward the end of her speech, Clinton pointed out to the crowd that she thinks she is tough, saying to the crowd, “I am no shrinking violet.”

Clinton, attempting to show that there will be party unity, said, “If Sen. Obama is the nominee, you better believe I'll work my heart out for him.”

The crowd erupted into a chant for Obama, leaving Clinton speechless for a few seconds while she waited for them to finish. During her speech, Clinton also mentioned Gov. Mike Easley, who has endorsed her candidacy, and she was momentarily rendered speechless while the crowd booed him."

[Rosa Luxemburg]

200. you can really hear the chanting

wow!

[City Lights]

176. Thanks for that!

:D

[Honeycombe8]

235. Wow. Except the part about the governor is not there. nt

[powergirl]

238. Ouch! That's gotta hurt

I would be mortified if that happened to me. Maybe she's used to it. :evilgrin:

[AspenRose]

253. No kidding

I actually felt a little sorry for her.

A little.

For a few seconds.

[CreekDog]

312. i felt the same way

when you consider the classy campaign she has run this just strikes me as a little crass and beneath dignity

wait, who are we talking about?

oops, i thought it was Mother Teresa's campaign to help the poor. my bad.

[AspenRose]

318. Bad dog, no biscuit

:spank:

;-)

[CreekDog]

319. bad dog?

[AZBlue]

265. Wow - for a moment I felt sorry for her.

But then I remembered all the despicable things she's done in the last couple of months and didn't feel so bad anymore!

I think that was her pre-concession speech.

[TheDonkey]

305. Is hell freezing over. Is Hillary actually being gracious!?!?!

[truthpusher]

308. I actually did feel bad for her... until I realized it was her fault.

[CreekDog]

313. it wasn't her fault, it was Obama's fault

his campaign kept pointing out things Hillary or her surrogates said! :eyes:

[scheming daemons]

2. Just watched it on CSPAN again.... the crowd DID chant "OBAMA" during her speech...

...

[psychopomp]

31. Somebody have a link?

Could not find it on CSPAN, nor is it on youtube yet.

[scheming daemons]

38. Turn on your TV.... C-Span

[psychopomp]

70. No TV

Nor in the United States...

[cliffordu]

3. Fucking kool aid snorters.

[VolcanoJen]

6. Between sipping lattes, I'm surprised they didn't choke on the frothy foam

;-)

[DearAbby]

129. Just got here after

a quiet evening with DearHubby...::wink wink:: And reading this for the first time....wow...I just choked on my frothy Latte reading it.

[Raine]

139. Heck no, us experienced Latte drinkers

know how to do it without choking on the all that foam. :9 ;-)

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

152. I don't want to choke and spray the foam

all over my birkenstocks.

(whatever a birkenstock is)

:rofl:

Bad enough when I spray foam all over my keyboard and monitor.

[powergirl]

240. Dude, I was wheeling around in my Volvo and I sprayed

my foam all over my Gucci loafers. :rofl:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

250. I'm afraid to laugh at this

'cause I hate when the foam spews out my nose!

:rofl:

I'm assuming Latte is something involving foam. If not, just substitute Beer, which has lots of foam.

[powergirl]

266. A latte has more of a froth to it, as opposed to foam,

which, nonetheless, is damaging to my Volvo leather interior and my $500 Gucci loafers. It's a bitch getting those things clean.

[CreekDog]

315. lattes, Volvos? WTF?

i don't have time for all that, i'm too busy being better than all of you! :spank:

[Butch350]

159. It's Better than...

TOE JAM eater like you!

[mhoran]

282. Sigh

Stop

[CoffeeCat]

13. Oh come on, they're not Kool-Aid snorters....

...as far as I know.

[mcg]

260. Ah ha! "as far as I know.", so you have no proof they aren't, do you? nt

[demwing]

21. Classy

Heaven....instant latte feed as needed!

[SwampG8r]

68. they need to actually serve koolaid lol

the corporate koolaid moguls try to short you on the sugar in the recipe so they get more of your money than the sugar moguls

[dchill]

[earthlover]

36. You enjoy being a name-caller? good for you

go ahead delete. I get friggin tired of this crap

[cliffordu]

44. Relax, I snorted the kool aid too....

Actually I got a tattoo made out of kool aid some time back.

[PurityOfEssence]

55. Easy now; don't want to get thrown under the bandwagon, do ya?

The crowd's never wrong, you know...

[cliffordu]

63. I just crawled out from under the damned bus I was tossed under

coming out of a Starbucks.....I lost my copy of "The Stranger" and EVERYTHING!!!

[roguevalley]

275. yeah. fuck them for having an opinion and expressing it. how

egalitarian. :sarcasm:

[CreekDog]

314. classy

:applause:

[quantass]

This will go viral for sure on YouTube

[TK421]

89. Say....I wonder how that that whole Kantor thing played out ?

How exactly did that end? You know...I'm JUST NOT SEEING IT that much anymore

SO....what happened to it? It certainly sounded like a HUGH story!!@!1 SERIESLY!@!

[Hepburn]

172. It was a nice trick by the Hillbots to cry "foul" and get sympathy.

But it didn't work...at all.

Anything else I can clear up for ya, Hillbot? :hi:

[TK421]

204. AWWWW...it called me Hillbot !

:loveya: but seriously...if I need something to be clear, I certainly will not ask an Obamite!

:toast: :hi: :hug: :yourock: :woohoo:

[lwcon]

214. "if I need something to be clear, I certainly will not ask an Obamite"

Why not? A lot of them sound like Scientologists....

they make Cruise look half-sane

[fascisthunter]

255. You Give Yourselves Away Every Time You accuse Obama Supporters

of cult-like behavior when in fact it's just called support. See, Hillary can not win without something bad happening to the party as a whole, so who is more "cult-like"? Support for her now, even though she can't win, makes many of us who didn't support Obama wonder why? Is it cult-like admiration for her, or the desire to cripple the Democratic candidate come the GE? I know Rush Limbaugh is enjoying this....

I also know how intimidated you "So-Called" Hillary supporters are so I can see why you feel the need to attack his massive support the way you do. I also get this weird feeling you are more intent on smearing/targeting Obama because he will be the GE opponent to McCain.

If anything, folks like you have convinced many Kucinich, Edwards, Dodd, Richardson supporters to rally around Obama because of your cult-like obsessive taunting. You are either politically stupid or on the wrong message board.

In summary, his rather large support must really scare you. Hmmmmm......

[TK421]

257. On an internet message board? Nope, you're dead wrong

not intimidated in the least :eyes:

[mhoran]

281. C'mon

Can we stop with the nastiness? I'll promise if you'll promise.

Frankly, that was a nice thing that HRC said.

We need to all get together and stop getting played by the Rethug controlled MSM. Our fight should be with McCain and the Rethugs, not each other.

[lwcon]

297. I wish it were that easy

If you knew a way to call off the bullying Obamaites who haunt DU, I'd be with you in a second.

This highly-rated thread celebrates the abuse of Hillary that was heaped upon her for, as you note, saying a nice thing.

I was an Edwards supporter who found the abusiveness of the Obama fans a good reason to go for the alternative: HRC.

I would love nothing more than for this campaign to suddenly change gears and for Democrats to remember how to respect each other. But places like DU and DailyKos have turned into cesspools of Hillary Hate and robotically repeated lies about her, and a few of us feel it's appropriate to wag the finger of shame and snark. Your kind offer notwithstanding, I think it's well-earned in these circles.

Let's emulate Barack and be better than this.

[catgirl]

295. Beware of Hillbots now posing as Obama supporters

[mhoran]

298. Well, I guess I've arrived

I get to be called out by Clinton AND Obama supporters (of which I am one!).

We are all going to need one another in the GE. For my part, I am completely confident that Barack will be the nominee. It serves no strategic purpose for us to continue the in-fighting.

Besides, it just ain't nice.

[catgirl]

301. I wasn't calling you out

just noticing that some of the most anti Obama posters are suddenly
"supporters". I agree about the infighting. It's not nice at all.

:-)

[mhoran]

304. My mistake

My apologies

[PBS Poll-435]

245. CNN spent some time on it last night,

Now it seems to be dead.

You should have seen this place about 10:00AM yesterday.

You would be SHOCKED. Or maybe you woudn't.

[FrenchieCat]

4. Just saw the "Obama" chants during Hillary speech just now.....

and now the jeers for the Governor.

She kind of got hot under the collar......annoyed, I'd say.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

9. I told you we didn't like our gov, he got sued for destroying public records

Last month.

[chill_wind]

19. self-edit - to move reply n/t

[Cha]

32. It kinda figures he'd

endorse hilary.

[Muttocracy]

66. whoa, not good. nt

[Ronnie]

12. What lovely people.

Reminds me of somebody around here.

[FrenchieCat]

16. !

:hi:

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

20. this event could be attended by Hillary supporters but there must not be many of them

anyone could have attended this event.

No one stopped Clinton supporters from attending, but there you see it.
Must not be that many, at least not in the hard core democrats.

[ruggerson]

67. Difference is

Hillary supporters would have been polite and respectful to Obama.

[dchill]

77. He deserves it.

[newmajority]

87. Unlike the Hillbots on this board, you mean?

:shrug:

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

128. actually, Hillary went first so the few of them could leave first

n/t

[Hepburn]

181. Obama deserves respect....

...that is the difference. Thanks for pointing it out! :hi:

[quantass]

215. .

[DemVet]

287. No.

Respect is not something you deserve, it's something you EARN.

Obama isn't at that point yet.

[goclark]

183. They do their dirty tricks on Fox News

and throwing the kitchen sink.

[amk]

226. Because Obama commands, not demands, respect.

unlike you know who.

[powergirl]

242. You have to EARN respect - Obama has

Clinton has not. That is why her negatives are so high. The demeans the actual VOTERS who support Obama - as do the Clinton supporters on this board. Obama never, ever, mocks or derides Clinton voters.

[fascisthunter]

239. lol

[liberalhistorian]

246. LOL! How many roses

are you seeing in those glasses you're wearing now? LOL.

155. Rudeness seems to common behavior for Obama fans.

[liberalhistorian]

247. And it appears that you have too many

roses dancing in your glasses as well. LOL.

Just 'cause they don't like the lying panderer?

It's our country and hilary isn't going to sell it down the river with her warmongering, lying, and cheating.

Oh Nooz! The Obama’s are pandering to the uneducated Bubba’s & BHO gets stuck on REPEAT


Guess BHO did not quite have his new pander story memorized! I am sure it went better today.


…… Sitting on a picnic bench in a park on Pagoda Street, Indianapolis, in discussion with a group of 30 supporters, he told a story about the "modest" background of himself and his wife, Michelle.

And 10 minutes later, seemingly having forgotten, he told them it all again.

...it reminds me of how much Hillary is disliked in my neck of the woods. Guess I should say FUCKING HATED...but then I think most of the Hillbots are coming to realize how high her negatives are ~~ with everyone.

182. I would be honored if you were referring to me!

276. She DID say that she would support him if he got the nomination,

she set herself up for those chants.

18. she's fair game, its a traditional method of voicing dislike of a public official, and she earned it

dissing one delegate after another one state after another that she failed to win.

43. Yeah, she can go on tirades and Dish it out..she damn

well better be able to take it. Like the gov of NC says.."she's no pansy".

[VolcanoJen]

51. Her supporters can't stand the heat.

I thought she was so tough, and that they were so tenacious.

It's a freaking J-J Dinner. Shit gets rowdy. Learn how to hang.

[rodeodance]

158. I have always thought booing was rude--for either candidate.

[dogday]

175. I will second that and neither is my candidate, but I am

tired of these Dem slamming parties... I understand people want their candidate to win, but this is just poor form....

[rodeodance]

227. Indeed. and threads like this just give the opportunity to pile on the nasties.

[mhoran]

284. Amen to that!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

22. her former chief of staff and Bills former COS were behind the robo calls in NC

that misled voters about their registration status.

[chill_wind]

48. And maybe people don't like that. No matter who's behind it.

The robo-calls I mean. People are starting figure this out. Stop screwing with our elections and our rights to vote.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

130. Calls didn't tell that we have same day registration at early voting, when those calls were made!

If these people respected the laws in any of the states they are tampering with,
they could have done what all voter advocate groups in the state are doing,
recommending early voting because you can register to vote then.

The best part of this is if someone has fallen off the rolls, it can be corrected
on the spot.

No provisional ballot needed!

Edited for clarification.

The calls led voters to think they weren't registered and could not vote until
getting the forms and mailing them in.

Big problem - register by mail deadline for primary had already passed.

[demwing]

30. LOL. I got smacked around for posting a funny picture of Hillary.

Told it was rude and childish,,,and it probably was, but so what :)

But this reaction - voters getting defamed because they would rather have Obama? Did you wake up this morning sucking that bad, or have you sucked your way all through the day, just to throw one last fabulous SUCK here before us?

What do you expect?

They love protests. And parties.

Not so good at going to the polls, tho....

[jonestonesusa]

303. Sometimes it takes kids to stand up to power

rather than excusing business as usual.

Without the kids, we might still be in Vietnam, and suppressing black votes might still be legal.

Be glad that a new generation gets energized and impatient about the state of the world. Have we 40-somethings, 50-somethings, and older left the world a better place for the kids?

What have the kids inherited from us? What cause do we have to deny them anger and impatience - even if it was just the kids booing Clinton?

We wouldn't even have the netroots without the kids, and the activist left of the Democratic Party that Clinton herself has booed - in private. Show no love for core Democrats in an effort to lead the party - you reap what you sow.

[susankh4]

310. Look. I was a child in the sixties.

I know full well about Viet-nam and the civil rights movement.

I also know that rude is rude. And intimidation is intimidation.

Think about this.... The most effective protests, throughout history, have been of the silent and non-violent ilk. MLK knew it. Ghandi knew it. And... if Mr. Obama is to lead such a "movement" he will need to teach his followers some essential principles.

I am beginning to wonder about Barack's own knowledge of how to lead a peaceful movement, to be honest. Have you ever heard him invoke respectful protest? Non-violence? Does Rev. Wright invoke non-violent resistance? Or is he too busy hating??? How about Bill Ayers?

A movement without adequate leadership is of no use to me, or my party.

[jonestonesusa]

316. Is rudeness the same as violence?

I do not see the two as being the same. It is rude to interrupt a fellow Democratic speaker, but it certainly isn't violent.

Martin Luther King is invoked often as the standard for how to wage a protest movement, which frustrates me because he is viewed as non-controversial now that he has been murdered. There are plenty of people at the time who thought he was rude to challenge white supremacy in the way that he did. He and the movement he led had successes, but also stalled at times, and the disintegration of the poor people's campaign amid his murder illustrated some of the limits of conscience-oriented protest of the kind he waged. It required a unique charismatic leader, enduring unspeakable personal pressure and sacrifice, to sustain the movement as long as it did. If his way is the only way to make change happen (or the approach of Gandhi), then we're in trouble, since few people have that particular capacity for self-sacrifice and righteous nonviolent in the face of outright hatred. To criticize Obama because he's not MLK - well, HC isn't MLK either. There are no guaranteed paths to serious social change.

Also, from an historical perspective we wouldn't hold MLK responsible for the actions of all of his followers. After all, he was killed during his direct action following the Memphis garbage strike, and while he felt personally responsible for the civil disturbances during the Memphis campaign, it was unfair then and unfair now to say that he was responsible for what some of his followers did. The same is true for Obama, or for Clinton, for that matter. It's a fallacy to say that actions of supporters or former supporters (i.e. Rev. Wright) are their responsibility.

I wonder also what you think about the Black Power movement and the social changes in both attitude and policy that various wings of the party set in motion. I also wonder what you think of the direct actions done within the anti-Vietnam movement, such as the Berkeley Free Speech Movement that was largely nonviolent, but certainly not polite, with lots of shouting down of Clark Kerr, the president of UC-Berkeley, and other confrontations that eventually had very positive results.

I'll leave the swiftboating of Rev. Wright alone, just because it's been discussed ad nauseum, or maybe I'll just say that to equate him with violence when he's been leading an effective and peaceful ministry in a large urban African American church is not fair, and I've been suprised to hear it from so many Democratic leaners. I feel this way especially when HC gets a free pass from some despite her saber-rattling in recent rhetoric and her famous enabling of the war in Iraq with her Senate vote.

All in all, it's fair to invoke principled pacifism if that's what you think is the most effective way towards change, but stand-patism among Democrats during the neoconservative era has led to the stalling of an activist agenda for change. It took the netroots, Michael Moore, and lots of collective outrage against Bush to get things energized again. Obama is probably less of a righteous fiery voice compared to the party's left, but I believe he can help move us in the right direction - towards change. It's mostly up to us as the American people to initiate progressive action on issues, if it's going to come.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

206. Hillary held "pep rally" in parking lot after her talk, while Obama was speaking

her RUDE supporters left the Jefferson Jackson Dinner once She was through speaking,
which is halfway through the dinner.

This is unheard of and utterly rude.

[earthlover]

60. Classy? Like her rovian tactics? like her kitchen sink?

Show me where Hillary has shown some class during this campaign.

Obama could have made a big issue of Hillary's big lie about Tuzla airport. He didn't. He has been so restrained. He is a classy guy. I wish he wasn't so classy. I would have loved to hear Hillary get buzz sawed. But Obama showed some class.

So where has Hillary shown restraint and avoided taking the low road?

She deserves to be booed. She deserves to have rotten fruit and vegetables and eggs thrown at her. Fitting for her rotten campaign.

Sure she got boos. If she can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Better yet, she can start acting like a Democrat, instead of emulating the worst of the Republicans (Rove)

[VolcanoJen]

88. "Show me where Hillary has shown some class during this campaign."

And that, my friend, is that. In a nutshell. Exactly.

JJ Dinners can be rough. Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. The people are tough, and it's "hard work" to face a crowd not wholly made up of your own supporters.

Tenacious? Obama's being generous. Buck up, Hill. Deal with the people of the Democratic Party. All of us. It's one big, beautiful tent, isn't it?

39. Why are Obama supporters so rude?

[Tarheel_Dem]

137. Perhaps because we have witnessed Hillary morph into the very

thing we've all despised for the past 8 years? Could that possibly be it? Remember she's the one who's qualified to be in the kitchen, taking the heat. I say let her prove it, and you guys should buck up & stop "whining"...you know like Bill Clinton told Obama after the ABC ambush?

53. With Clintons, you have to parse sentences carefully.... Hillary HAS no heart.....

[HuffleClaw]

186. perhaps its just 'two sizes too small' ? n/t

[Cha]

57. And you believe that lying

panderer? 'Cause she's proven she can't be trusted.

[quantass]

41. .

[TahitiNut]

42. I'd say that's a rational reaction by ACTIVISTS.

:evilgrin:

[Cha]

56. Yeah, did hilary think she.

hadn't burnt any bridges?

[goldcanyonaz]

47. What was for dinner?

[mmonk]

69. We had a salad, fillet mignon on top of mashed potatoes and asparagus.

Some type of whipped dessert with blue berries. Well, you asked.

[goldcanyonaz]

75. OMG! YUMMY. thank you!

62. The one time I had a chance to hear Bill Clinton speak, some rude Obama

woman (aging hippie) droned "OH-BaMA" incessantly. When asked by others to please be quiet so we could hear President Clinton speak inside the room (we didn't have floor passes), she started screaming "I have free speech!" Later her ranting that a Hillary supporter called Obama a terrorist shut down the opportunity for any of us gathered outside the door to the Convention to hear Bill Clinton.

The door was slammed. I left. Couldn't imagine anyone being that rude. It wasn't going to get votes for Bama.

[VolcanoJen]

92. Love that "aging hippie" piece of color you added to your story.

Aging hippie? Are you sure you wanna go there? Because when I think "aging hippie" there's only two candidates in the race (running as one) that come to mind.

Be careful with that.

[lojasmo]

184. "Droning" and "screaming" are also words clinton supporters....

should avoid using in a negative sense. ;)

[Hepburn]

187. Speaking of aging hippies....

:rofl:

[GoneOffShore]

289. Both of the those aging hippies

grew up to be DINOsaurs.

[Hoof Hearted]

64. So it proves that Obama supporters are a bunch of rude little fuckers.

You must be so proud.

[LeFleur1]

73. Talk

I see all this talk about cutting the campaign short and allowing Obama to get the nomination because the Democratic party is being divided, and obviously because he hasn't answered any questions he should get the nod.
Obama's supporters, the MSM media, blabbering radio personalities, and insulting bloggers are dividing the party. Then they have the audacity to blame the divide on Hillary. It's YOU.

They can take their potential nominee and shove him.

[SammyWinstonJack]

279. !!!

:thumbsup: They can take their potential nominee and shove him. :applause:

[yewberry]

90. No, it shows that THOSE Obama supporters are a bunch of rude little fuckers.

Much like the bunch of Clinton-supporting rude not-so-little fuckers who sat right behind me at a recent event. They shouted down a speaker for Obama (after the speaker for Clinton had spoken without interruption), and kicked me in the back and bumped me with their sign enough that I was forced to move.

News flash: neither candidate has a monopoly on supporters who are rude little fuckers. I'm trying to keep from having my feelings about the candidates influenced by the worst of their supporters.

Are you?

[VolcanoJen]

93. I know!!!

I hate rude shrieking jerkys, too. Especially when my own Governor is standing behind them.

[mhoran]

285. Can you ever post something that isn't as rude as you complain Obama supporters are?

All the posts I recall seeing from you lately are so angry and hateful.

[MNBrewer]

293. all of them? n/t.

[ruggerson]

74. And you all seem to think this is a GOOD thing for your guy

amazing.

[anigbrowl]

109. It seems to really burn you that he got cheered so much

Go on, give me a lecture about how it's going to hurt him at the ballot box.

[rodeodance]

218. your rudeness matches the O. fans at the dinner. Shameful

[TK421]

79. The Peanut Gallery spoke....their voice has been heard, apparently

I'm beginning to wonder how many Obama cultists are paid to attend functions such as this for the sole purpose of disrupting....it seems so odd

[VolcanoJen]

94. Cultists!!

Did Sid Blumenthal send out a new email or something? The "cultist" thing seems to be coming up a lot lately.

Last refuges of scoundrels, and what-not.

[TK421]

96. That's been around for quite some time....hey! they didn't include you in this?

:wtf:

[VolcanoJen]

98. Well, sure. It was floated, it sucked, he won 12 straight contests....

... and the nomination, essentially, in those February weeks.

But the Clintons dropped the meme and started Pastorbating. Just weird to see the "cult" meme show up again.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

[TK421]

106. Oh thanks for the reminder...I haven't showered yet after my long work day!

Got some good body-wash to take care of that, too! And the cult "meme" as you put it is only a "meme" on this board...you can convince me otherwise when you actually talk to these people ( like I have ) and come to any conclusion that pleases you. Peace

[Bluebear]

111. Sorry, but "THE BAM" first reminded me of cult behavior among Obama supporters

This is what the Obama 'movement' is all about...

"THE BAM"... PASS IT ON AT THE NEXT OBAMA RALLY!

Having caught "Obama fever" like so many others rallying in support of Barack, I experienced something at a Barack Obama Rally on Thursday, January 10 at the College of Charleston here in Charleston, South Carolina, which I felt was both inspirational and spontaneous!

As Barack worked the line following the close of his speech, there was a surge of people moving forward hoping to get close enough to shake Barack's hand. Since I was standing about 20 feet back from center stage in the crowd, I felt the crowd down front tighten as many of us stood on our toes, stretched our bodies forward while reaching out to Barack. I noticed that a six foot tall guy who was standing in front of me had stretched far enough above the crowd and shook hands with Barack. As the guy drew back his hand I asked him, "You shook his hand didn't you?" Happily the guy said "Yes." I then said, "give me some of that" and the guy shook my hand with the same hand he had just clasped with Barack's. A woman friend of mine who was standing next to me saw me shake hands with the guy. I turned to her and said "He just shook hands with Barack," to which she responded..."Hey, give it up." We then shook hands. She then turned to the person next to her and shook hands. This chain of hand shakes went on for about five or six more persons.

I did not know the tall guy in front of me; he is white, I am black. But at the moment we shook hands, I felt some solidarity with this stranger, consummated by a handshake and signifying some unspoken agreement presumably about Barack Obama and his core message of UNITY!

I call this hand-shake scenario the "BAM" because, descriptively, it takes a bit of Obama's name and it's the sound of a collision, of People Coming Together!

[VolcanoJen]

114. Wow. Youthful, spontaneous enthusiasm for a Democratic presidential candidate at a rally.

How cultish. How depressing. How youthful. How sad. They're experiencing way too much glee while engaged in a political process. They should just stand politely and show no enthusiasm for who may very well be the leader of the United States of America for the next eight years. They should really not be so engaged and excited. It's way too spontaneous and goofy and oddball and young and they're having far too much fun.

How awful. They must be in a cult because they really shouldn't be so attached or engaged or excited, and they certainly shouldn't be expressing their youthful exhuberance in such a weird and unfamiliar manner.

:eyes:

[Bluebear]

117. Who said they were youths? And why aren't Clinton supporters entitled to like their candidate?

Also, you said young four times, and I also think about the Obama "movement" as being very disrespectful to older people. Sorry, sue me.

[VolcanoJen]

132. Guess what?

Despite my youthful enthusiasm, I don't think there's anyone in this youth-based nation who considers 40 to be "young."

I do, of course. But Nicole Ritchie probably thinks I should be thrown in the garbage with her used Botox. :-)

[muryan]

273. How dare a candidate focus on college students

We all know that you aren't a real american until you start collecting social security. Too much pandering to people who wont remember who they voted for the next day

[TK421]

119. Hey! Thanks for summing this up for me!!! You rock!!!

"They must be in a cult because they really shouldn't be so attached or engaged or excited, and they certainly shouldn't be expressing their youthful exuberance in such a weird and unfamiliar manner."

Uh....YE-AHHHH...that's a cult, honey

[Ronnie]

256. "...Barack Obama and his core message of UNITY!" YIKES!

Flashback to the last uniter.

[MADem]

80. How very rude. NT

[Political Heretic]

83. PUH-Leeeeze.

I think what gets me the most about GD: P these days is the total hypocrisy in the people. If I believed for a minute you would take the time to post "how very rude" in a thread about Obama being drowned out by Clinton cheers at a rally, I might not have such a snide reaction to you now.

[MADem]

104. Actually, I would. I come from a generation where respect is afforded

to anyone trying to speak, particularly members of the same party at a party function.

I'd be equally--if not more, because he's a newcomer--irritated if Obama got the same treatment. There's just no need for it.

I'd even be pissed if our people booed McCain in a debate setting.

You really have to be an ignorant, meanspirited, insecure, frightened, stupid, immature, fucking asshole to get a "kick" out of booing a fellow Democrat at a party function. I just don't see how such BOORISH behavior marries up with HOPE CHANGE BELIEVE. What, these clowns HOPE they'll CHANGE eventually, and we'll BELIEVE they aren't a bunch of ignorant shitheads, is that it?

But then, we old geezers, and our quaint old ways, we don't count. I'm serious--there are many of us who had better not be counted on come November if this childish shit keeps up. Yes, you can? You might be having to "can" all by yourselves. This brutish attitude is depressing the vote, and sending an increasing percentage of it over to Popeye as the alternate.

I'm voting the ticket, but most of my geezer friends aren't so loyal. And I don't fit the fucking paradigm, either--I'm NAVY--you think I would default to McCain. Your crew make it harder, each and every day, to get enthused though. Why, I might just get "addled" and forget what day it is, if this childish shit keeps up. Of course, that's unlikely, as I have to bring a hundred or two older voters to the polls--most of whom have McCain down as their alternate to Clinton.

Go figure.

[greiner3]

258. Well then, it's settled;

I'll call up the 5,000 Obama fans that did this unspeakable thing and DEMAND that they render to you and Hillary a written apology. With this apology, I will insist that they write out, "I will not have a good time again," 100 times. I'm with you, civility above all else. I'm curious about something though, is it ok, in a Democratic tradition, for protesters to be rude sometimes? How about anyone faced with opposition to anything that they deem to be wrong? Like I said, just curious.

[MADem]

270. Oh, of COURSE you will. See, that's what you call "a good time."

Booing a Democrat.

It's OK to be RUDE at a party CELEBRATION. Yeah, being an asshole at a celebration is always "cool."

And protesters? What are you protesting? That your filet mignon was OVERDONE?

It's the DEMOCRATIC PARTY...BIG TENT.

What, you're protesting INCLUSIVITY and TOLERANCE? A willingness to hear ALL VIEWS?

Or is this NEW Democratic party going to turn into a lockstep far-left fest, with no centrists or moderates allowed? You won't be liking Obama once you get to know him, if that's the case.

Good grief. What a load. What I'm curious about is where you get this crap. It's a DINNER, not a sit-in. A PARTY party, not a protest.

Christ. The efforts to justify the unjustifiable must make you dizzy. Whatever. You have fun with your dudgeon and righteousness, and keep excusing the inexcusable.

[Heathen57]

272. If anybody has been exclusive, it is Hillary.

She has excluded caucus voters, voters in smaller states, progressives, the youth vote, the AA vote, and the list goes on and on.

You cannot preach inclusiveness and mention Hillary in the same sentence. She is DLC and that says she cares nothing for those who are not privileged.

[MADem]

292. And that has everything to do with the matter under discussion...not.

You are actually putting forth the thesis that YOU get to be "noninclusive" if the candidates aren't "inclusive" enough to suit you.

That is the most absurd argument I've ever heard in my life.

Either it's a big tent, or it isn't.

[Political Heretic]

271. Well then, I take it back. Sorry if the primary has made me cynical.

Although, I'm not sure if its a generational thing as much as it is a cultural thing. Consider British Parliament, where drowning out a speaker is just part of the political process.

I grew up in a culture where the first thing that would come to my mind if any supporters did this would not be that they were rude or doing something inappropriate. However, I do remember that back when certain protesters were occasionally disrupting congressional hearings some people felt the same way about that. Even though they were on our side on the issues, some thought it was terrible and outrageous that they would disrupt like that. So I get that there is certainly a culture that thinks this is just totally out of line.

But its not mine. :)

[Kittycat]

124. That would never happen... She doesn't have crowds.

She only has gatherings.

[ForeignSpectator]

173. "Family" gatherings? n/t

[livingmadness]

85. Here's a novel concept: actions have consequences

If you run your campaign from the gutter, you risk polarizing the public and increasing your negs (as we have seen). And then supporters moan when there is blowback - people get negative and push back. Responsibility is a much lauded but often avoided thing.

[BenDavid]

91. kinda like some of the no class folks in here.....

[TK421]

95. After the whole Mickey Kantor NON-News article they've been blabbing about all day

can you blame them? I guess I would be pretty pissed off, too

Sorry about that piss in your Cheerios, people

[cali]

142. yeah, no class people who call Obama "Obigot"

that goes beyond not being "classy". It's just flat out disgusting.

[Divernan]

208. Yeah, BenDavid- nothing says class like voting in favor of cluster bombs, right?

[Rene]

97. bho supporters are so crude

[VolcanoJen]

103. Totally. One minute, we're sucking down lattes & finger sandwiches at tea parties on the golf course

The next minute, we're waving signs and looking all working-class and cheering on our candidate at a JJ Dinner.

So that's what all this fuss is about? You'd think people had started flinging feces at her for all the outrage here. That was tame and the HILL-A-RY people seemed to shut down the O-BA-MAs pretty quick, not to mention she looked fairly amused at the enthusiasm. Sorry, I'm just not feeling the outrage. :\

[Bluebear]

105. OMG! How crass.

[Secret_Society]

107. The one thing I really took note of...

is that during HRC's speech Obama supporters were disruptive and rude and HRC supporters needed to chant back. Hillary supporters were very respectful during Obama speech.

[mmonk]

113. Most of her supporters left after her speech.

They had some rally to attend. The only ones that stayed were at tables on the floor.

In her defense she was really good tonight, and she seemed sincere. She handled that really well.

[dailykoff]

144. Hillary Clinton, this is your life.

It's gonna be all downhill from here babe. You tried to put one over on us and you got BUSTED.

Buh-bye Hillamonster! :hi:

145. Good. Now a wider audience will see how off so many Obama supporters are.

This ain't a Yankees/Red Sox game.

[susankh4]

149. No it isn't.

But, they are young. And new to our style of democracy.

I try to cut them some slack... in my better moments.

[MrSlayer]

146. Well there was a "Hill-a-ry!" chant that followed.

I didn't see the booing part though.

[Window]

150. Oh, my goodness. I thought I was hearing things.

:rofl:

[Mezzo]

151. How classy of the Obama supporters. It shows something about the cult when they prove themselves to

be.

[JackORoses]

233. take a gander, it's Hillarious!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqcJOfelTsc

[wildeyed]

153. Here is the Charlotte Observer's take on it.

http://www.charlotte.com/540/story/607795.html

Perhaps the most unusual element of the event was that Clinton, after weeks of seeing throngs of supporters, faced hundreds of Obama's supporters in stands alongside an equal number of her own.

There were scattered boos from Obama backers when Clinton talked about her gas tax plan. And there was almost certainly a first in the 78-year history of the Democrats' annual Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner -- lusty boos and hisses for a sitting Democratic governor, Mike Easley, who endorsed Clinton earlier in the week.

Mike Easley is not that popular with actual Democrats in this state. I tolerate him because he keeps the election process clean. On his part, he never attends dem conventions in Charlotte, and in 04 refused to be photographed with Kerry/Edwards.

[Bensthename]

160. "in 04 refused to be photographed with Kerry/Edwards"..

Oh my god,, no wonder he got booed, he sounds like a real ass. Im glad he did not endorese Obama.

[MattNC]

277. He has wanted nothing to do with Dems

at the national level, which is why I'm surprised he endorsed Hillary to begin with. He's a lame duck, though, so maybe he doesn't care now.

[npincus]

154. Obama supporter here.... I think that was rude.

[Adelante]

205. I agree. I don't like booing of candidates.

I don't like when it's done to Obama and I don't like when it's done to Hillary.

[TheDudeAbides]

156. Rude Obama supporters ensure McCain victory

That just about does it. The doctored video from yesterday and the rude treatment of
Hillary Clinton yesterday in Raleigh. I promise you...we'll get 4 more years of republican BS
because of your rudeness and abuse. Idiots!

I guess you all think it's pretty funny that you are chasing Hillary supporters towards
McCain if Obama wins the GE?

I've been voting a long time, but I've NEVER seen such rude, classless behavior.

Any chance of party unity is going down the drain. Great job!

[Adelante]

203. I guess getting dressed up like a chicken to stand in front of Obama HQ is good manners

Or walking out on Obama's speeches, and this is not the first time, is what is called unity. Not where I come from.

[TheDudeAbides]

211. There's a big difference and you know it

[Adelante]

220. What's the difference?

It's disrespect. I said above I don't like booing of candidates. I didn't like it when Obama was booed by Clinton supporters in Nevada, either. But the sanctimony of Clinton supporters about this stuff is even more annoying.

[TheDudeAbides]

269. I know nothing about Nevada

So, what do we do?

A first, very small step might be for Obama supporters here to stop celebrating the disrespect.
You know, that would be a start, don't you think?

[dcindian]

157. Shit should have invited more republicans.....

Maybe she needs a few more ditto heads next time.

[Freida5]

161. Obama supporters are rude, what more can you say.

[onenote]

162. Obama supporters are enthusiastic, what more can you say.

Reminds me of a time I was at the theater with a friend. She got very into a particular musical number and voiced her enthusiasm at the end. The theater patron in front of us turned and scolded her, saying "you're being vulgar." Without a beat she retorted, "No, I'm being enthusiastic."

I guess one person's rudeness is another's enthusiasm.

[TheDudeAbides]

164. There's a difference; I would never disrupt an Obama speech

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just different than Obama supporters.
I would never interrupt an Obama speech. I would cheer for him and honor
his service to the country. Yet, I am a Senator Clinton supporter.

Something tells me this party is on the verge of a split. Oil and water.

[mhoran]

286. And I would never disrupt a Clinton speech

There are all manner of supporters of both candidates. Both sides need to stop painting all supporters of the other candidate with the same brush.

[goclark]

188. I agree ,just learned that it was an open invitation

and evidently Clinton's supporters failed to show up in large numbers.

Now where were they, this was given by the Democratic Party in NC?

I agree, it was enthusiastic and more than that - they were being the MSM.

I have not heard one HCBC supporter that has questioned all the dirty tricks done to Obama.

Not one questioned all the 24/7 still on the MSM.

[TheDudeAbides]

192. It only takes one person to boo

There were plenty of CLinton supporters there.
But Clinton folks aren't going to boo Obama. It's wrong and you know it

A boo for Hillary is 10,000 votes for McCain.
Duhhhhhh!

[goclark]

212. Yes it is wrong ~ we watch 24/7 MSM

with Hillary bashing/booing/sink throwing our candidate.

We think that is wrong but Clinton supporters do not.

Please talk to them for us.

[TheDudeAbides]

217. What exactly did "Hillary" do that is so wrong?

I get the impression that you believe people are not allowed to ask questions about Obama, his relations, business partners, mentors, etc?
Is that true? If it concerns voters, don't you think it is in Obama's best interest to address these questions until voters are comfortable?
I know you are comfortable with anything and everything Obama.
But many of us (as you will learn either now or in the GE) are very uncomfortable.
And I think it would be a simple matter for Obama to answer these questions.
Unfortunately, he displays nervousness and anger at the questions.
And this reinforces the concerns.

Hillary Clinton withstood $40 million attacks and investigations. Obama's time will come.
It is part of the job description.

Grow up

[TheDudeAbides]

231. Crickets...

[jonestonesusa]

306. Crickets, huh?

Numerous threads have been posted on this forum night and day documenting what Obama supporters object to in HC's campaign strategy. Just this week, you could see dozens of discussions of Robocalls, Pastor-gate, bittergate, "shame on you Barack Obama," associating Obama with Farrakhan and the Weathermen, and numerous additional examples of the "kitchen sink" strategy used by Clinton. Personally, I welcome discussions of issue differences - that's why I'm here, I look for them, and I get plenty of perspectives different from my own, and I am glad for it. There's every reason for you to have a more nuanced view of what Obama supporters object to about Clinton's tactics, whether you agree with their views or not.

If you had read at least two of the pro-Obama threads that have appeared today, you would know that the race-baiting tactics in particular have resulted in a 30% decline in African American support for Clinton. Her tactics have cost her dearly among this core Democratic constituency. Maybe these tactics are neutral according to HC's core, which includes white working class supporters, older voters, conservative Democrats, white women among other groups, but her overall negatives have consistently gotten higher this campaign, and that's especially visible with a couple of additional core groups of voters in the Dem. primary - African Americans and netroots activists.

As to your point that Obama supporters are, more or less, a kool-aid drinking cult (funny, that kind of rudeness gets a free pass repeatedly from HC supporters on this site), there are plenty of Obama supporters here that like a good discussion, including me. I voted for Kucinich last time and would have leaned Edwards this time if it weren't for the foolish and cataclysmically damaging vote for the IWR that he, Clinton, Kerry, and several of the 2008 Dem. candidates cast. I saw Obama at a campaign stop and was impressed enough to support him. And I'm not naive enough to believe that any single candidate is going to deliver us from the massive economic, social, and environmental problems that we're going to face. Of course not! But if you want dialogue, start one. Post about an issue of importance, including your view of the candidate. But you lose me with the sanctimonious accusations against Obama supporters, who have brought a critically absent passion, monetary support, and impatience with business as usual to the campaign season.

I try not to be rude and I'm not most of the time, but the fact is that the issues matter, and if we can't act with conviction and passion, we're in trouble. If we all make nice or not, it comes down to an awesome challenge we all face at this point in our nation. Every politician and citizen needs to step up and _do something_, or the real problems will engulf us. I see way more of that need for change emphasized in the Obama campaign - hope and change to energize us and challenge apathy and fear, rather than HC's 35 years of experience in a broken political system. Agree or disagree with my support of Obama and opposition to HC, that's fine, but it would sure help if everyone would come to the site willing to discuss things, and even more importantly, willing to act.

[Egalia]

163. It's embarrassing - Rude thugs for Obama. Not exactly a winning strategy. n/t

167. the utter, total, lack of class of Obama supporters never ceases to amaze me

Clinton supporters paid major bucks to be there to support the NC Democratic party but because of classless Obama supporters they apparently didn't even get to hear their candidate.

an Obama supporter attacks a Clinton supporter...omg...

[ballsalicious]

194. You are crazy to engage with individuals that try to bring the rest of us down...

...nothing worst than someone fighting a loosing battle... they really are NOT worth the effort, you know, the sinking ship types.

[Evergreen Emerald]

230. "bring down the rest of us"

Right. This is an Obama board where anything other than total unity is "bringing down the board."

Forgot the DU new neo-democrat rules for a moment--"love it or leave it." "If you are not with us your are un-American." Gosh...this whole concept sounds vaguely familiar. Which board have I wandered into?

[Joe the Revelator]

179. Great to see the party uniting behind the nominee

:-D

[Catchawave]

189. Those rude supporters are helping Obama how?

Please remind me about this "New Politics and Unity" again?

[hokies4ever]

190. They're learning from Hillary

[Evergreen Emerald]

193. ITS ALL CLINTON'S FAULT.

Personal responiblity amoung Obama and amoung his supporters seems to be lacking.

[ballsalicious]

198. It's all Evergreen Emerald's fault....

really, it is.

[Catchawave]

213. hokies - you didn't answer my question.

Rude.

241. If you're going to do the time, might as well do the crime

:rofl:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

196. Maybe she should assign them to "free speech" cages.

Poor, poor, Hillary, confronted by the voice of the people.

[Evergreen Emerald]

202. No...not the voice of all the people. The voice of the people who need to

get some manners.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

210. "manners" from the people who are to be governed is just what the bosses want.

She's running to be president of the USA, not the local knitting society. Would you also object to protesters at a McNutt rally?

[Evergreen Emerald]

228. that is exaclty what Bush's supporters used to say.

[Catchawave]

249. Would the protesters be other Republicans ?

I don't think so :shrug:

[meow mix]

199. K&R

[lwcon]

201. Hillary is certainly wrong about party unity

Judging by the juvenile boorishness of Obama's supporters.

:applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

[madrchsod]

232. horrible! horrible!

they should have been arrested.

there is no place for these kinds of disruptions...

children should be seen not heard!

[saltpoint]

234. I think she ought to have been allowed to speak.

Without interruptions.

That piece of paper, the Constitution, suggests that she, and you and I as well, have that right. And that it is self-evident.

[Catchawave]

251. Thank you.

:hi:

[senseandsensibility]

236. Was he the guy with the very hoarse voice?

I was wondering why the crowd was being so rough on him.

[PBS Poll-435]

244. Wow. Some Obama supporters

are FUCKING rude.

Shocking.

:eyes:

[truthpusher]

248. This is the best thread ever for filling up my ignore list!

[onehandle]

252. How gracious of them. nt

[Eric J in MN]

254. So he has a few rude supporters. Big deal. NT

NT

[Alcibiades]

259. There's a history here

Clinton is in trouble because of her failing to denounce and reject OPERATION CHAOS. Plus, her campaign is using surrogate groups to make robocalls to mislead voters and suppress turnout here in Durham. Maybe you are OK with attempts to suppress Democratic primary voting in your state. I am not.

Remember how hard the Clintons worked to get the White House for Gore in 2000? Their outrage at the SCOTUS theft? Or their tireless championing of Kerry? Again, there's a history. It looks like Clinton is out to destroy the party. Past behavior predicts future behavior, and the clintons have a history of promoting themselves, not the party.

That's what the crowd of democratic grassroots folks were reacting to.

[VotesForWomen]

263. classy O supporters representin' for their man, i see. nt

[greguganus]

264. Yep. We have found out here in NC that Easley is just as big a liar as Hill is. n/t

[Road Scholar]

268. Yeppers we have.

[truthpusher]

280. The best thing about this Primary is all the new info on - who to watch out for...

[Beacool]

274. And that's a surprise????????

The kids up on the cheap seats were the ones yelling out his name.

Big deal.........

[jonestonesusa]

307. Actually, the kids showing up in the cheap seats is a big deal.

That's called expanding your base, and if HC could do it too, we'd have a Democratic victory in November no matter who is nominated at the top of the ticket.

Show me how she's expanded the Democratic base this election season and my impression of Clinton will be more positive.

[cseper]

278. The Dem leadership loves to lose.

How did they lose in 2004?? A dip-sh@t Pres in an unpopular war - they have a knack for losing. Now, they are going to nominate another loser who will be utterly destoryed by the Repubs. The Hillary dems will not support Obama, because they see him for what he is a corupt - Rezko, Exelon, Blackwell - unelectable - Wright Ayers kind of candidate and all the detail will be on display courtesy of the Repubs.

The Superdelegates are idiots if they nominate Obama.

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

288. Cool, a DC Comics reference. Give it up to Hill!

"Shrinking Violet is a fictional character, a superheroine and Legion of Super-Heroes member in the DC Universe's 30th and 31st centuries. Her real name is Salu Digby and she comes from the planet Imsk."

OGUAMA!

[ronnykmarshall]

290. How classy!

Did the Clinton supporter act as rude when Obama spoke?

[Inspired]

291. That was actually very rude. n/t

[hulklogan]

294. Sounds like some Obama supporters are just as rude in person as they are on the Internets.

People in this country used to have more tact, didn't they?

[madrchsod]

296. ya we are...and it`s only going to get worse now that hillary is winning

better buckle up it`s going to be a bumpy ride

[anticat]

299. Anyone surprised that Obots are rude thugs? Didn't think so.

[mdmc]

300. welcome to DU

I remember once being at a local fundraiser for our candidate for county sheriff. This is GOP territory, and we had no chance of winning.
Anyway, our candidate gets up and gives his speech. We all clap. Then he criticizes the GOP incumbent for not prosecuting low level pot offenses in the three cities in our county. Our jail was being underutilized. "If I'm elected, I will fill our jails with pot users!" I booed him. There were only about 40 people there, and I booed him. I was wearing a tye dye dead shirt at the time.

Afterword I was talking to his wife, who was the real politician in there family, and she cheered my courage. "We wouldn't be so fucked as a party if more people made their voices heard." She said. I ran for office the next year.

Anyway, welcome to DU...

[annie1]

317. they have proven that they are time and time again. group-think morons..

[mdmc]
