4. Obama supporters should REALLY listen to your message, since he is obviously the nominee.
I shake my head when I see how nasty some of them are to the Clinton supporters.

As a recent convert because I realize there is NO way she will win.. I shake my head when I still see the nasty posts. It's gonna be too late for some to unite in the end.


Clinton campaign said there would be a nominee by June 15th.

If she is not out of the race by then, I will start the negative threads.

Until then, calm down.

27. Just out of curiosity;
Got examples of the 'nastiness'?

I'm sure it's about, but it lesser and farther between than so many people claim. Frankly, I just don't see it.

Now, I've been asking this sort of question for well over a month now, and in all of that time, I've been given two examples of what could be considered 'nasty'... and it was by the same poster.

Seriously, there is a tiny minority of rude people that Clinton supporters are holding up as 'the standard'. That's actually bullshit.

So just help a guy out and get me a few links to this nastiness so I can see the justification for these claims.

Thanks!

BTW; Everytime I ask one of these 'back it up' questions, I save it to favorites. I'm doing an unofficial study of perception vs reality in Clinton supporters. (I know... you're not one. But it would really be helpful!)

6. Thank you for spelling 'moron' correctly.
Too many folks spell it wrong.

And thanks for the sentiments.
I agree totally.
That's why I've stopped doing too much reading and posting.

Just not worth the blood pressure problems..

16. Politely I beg to differ...
It's "moron"- meaning a mentally challenged individual-

Check the dictionary :)

MLA Style
"moron." Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. 2008.

Merriam-Webster Online. 9 May 2008
<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/moron>

"Moran" is a DU term taken from that picture. We also use "Hugh", "Series", "Asparagus" and a few others.

I think there is a list of DUisms floating around somewhere.

10. That always works so well on the internet.
In fact, everytime someone screams for people on a message board to be nice to each other, it works 100%. AND immediately!

15. There once was a Leprechaun named O'Reilly...
...on TV he told lots o' liellys.
He bought him a loofah & also falafel
and gave a new meaning to Peabody.

I wrote that a couple of years ago- best I can do for now.

21. There once was a Senator named Clinton
There once was a Senator name Clinton
Who assumed her nomination had been sent in
But despite her gun totin'
She lost in the votin'
And missed what the base had been hintin'

18. They can't help themselves- I found a sort of a solution though
Edited on Fri May-09-08 08:00 AM by Marrah_G
This suggestion came from an Obama supporter.

Thanks Catherina.

I am now keeping a list of all the good Obama supporters on my monitor. This reminds me that although the bad ones are louder, I can't let them drown out the good ones. It reminds me that most DUers don't consider me the enemy. Most don't want me banned or consider me a republican. Only 100 or so do and most of those are new names that probably won't be here long once the fighting stops.


Anyway, just my two cents. When the Obama side is done dancing on Hillary, when they have decided they no longer need to have 200 posts a day about how evil she is, when they no longer need to scream about how she needs to lose her senate seat, then I will hop on the Obama party train and look towards November. Until then I will defend her, just as I have defended Pelosi, Gore, Kerry, Rangel, Kennedy, Reid etc etc etc before.
