Ugh...I'm digusted by the booing of Clinton at the Obama rally...

[bicentennial_baby]

Really fucking classy. :puke:

Sigh...Just wanted to say that. I'm sorry Clinton supporters. :pals:

[democrattotheend]

1. It sounds mixed

Some boos and some cheers.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. It was pretty loud, and completely unnecessary

[krkaufman]

165. Yeah, it's unfortunate. But she's ticked a lot of people off.

Democrats are humans, too.

[DesertRat]

No cheers. Loud boos

I have it TIVO and rewound it to rewatch a couple of times.

[babylonsister]

2. I am, too. Totally unnecessary. nt

[Fearless]

4. Umm they cheered you know that right? Guess not.

[bicentennial_baby]

You didn't hear the booing as soon as he said Clinton?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. I'm disgusted at Clinton.

That's why I'd boo her.

[Maddy McCall]

15. And, time and again, you've proved how little class you have.

So, what else is new?

:shrug:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. There are worse things than not having class.

Hillary Clinton, f'rinstance.

Oh, hey. Remember all those debates she got booed at too?

:evilgrin:

[Zhade]

33. I'd say booing a proven liar is far classier than supporting one.

NT!

[TahitiNut]

48. Amen.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

101. it was the wrong thing to do - Edwards is trying to bring everyone together

and this was not the time to boo anyone unless it was George Bush.

I put on the Obama Daily News each night, so I support Obama,
but when you get an endorsement like this, its a good idea to be gracious.

[bicentennial_baby]

105. Thank you!!

And I can't believe that I'm being attacked by Obama supporters on this thread...Oh wait, yes I can.

:crazy:

[jkshaw]

122. I saw Senator Obama put out his hand to quiet the

booing. I'd have to see it again, but I think he shook his head "no" at them, too. I was glad to see it, and I'm very glad John Edwards praised Hillary. He sounded completely sincere, too. And notice that Barack included Hillary every time he talked about having one unified America, that Hillary wanted this, too. It was well done, I think. They can't abandon her, no matter how divisive her campaign has been.

[rodeodance]

36. i do not have too many on ignore but that poster is one of them.

[Fox Mulder]

140. Agreed.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

149. Southerners don't rub it in when they are ahead, Edwards is showing graciousness

Edwards will be a huge assett in bringing the party back together because
he has southern manners. He can be a shark when he needs to be, but he
is a smart politician and a gracious man.

Now is not the time to be booing anyone, when we are trying to undo
the damage of this very divisive primary.

In spite of the horror of the primary, much of it toughened Obama up
and made him a better candidate in preparation for the GE>

[woolldog]

163. I would too.

[Maddy McCall]

6. Jesus Christ.

I just rec'd a bi-baby thread.

What is wrong here? Internets are going spaz.

:D

[Bluebear]

9. Me too. ****UNITY****

:)

[no name no slogan]

128. UNITY, bitches

UNITY by Rick James
(that's Rick JAMES, not rickroll)

[bicentennial_baby]

12. It's like Midlo said...Dogs and Cats living together...

;)

[DS1]

78. Nah, that's just your age

:P


:hi:

[Bluebear]

7. You are who is classy.

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Thank you....

:hug:

[ronnykmarshall]

41. I'll second that.

[jasmine621]

8. Some Obama supporters are his worst enemies. nt

[highplainsdem]

Yes, they are.

[Doityourself]

10. Obama told them no...seems they got it together now! At least some cheered. Booing is no good

[LisaM]

89. He always does that, in case you hadn't noticed.

He lets them boo for a minute or two, then steps in like the big appeaser, and says, "no, no...."

[Labors of Hercules]

130. oh bullshit.

He waved them off immediately, just like he always does.

Your spin is atrocious.

[LisaM]

143. Just commenting on what I've noticed

It's not spin. It's what I see. I've noticed it several times. He'll say her name, then WAIT.

[panader0]

11. I saw Barack give the nix to the booing

I think it's classy that Edwards paid such a nice tribute to her.

[bicentennial_baby]

24. Me too.

:)

[jgraz]

13. I know. Why can't they just call her a muslim like normal people??

[rodeodance]

You are not one of the classy obama fans (like the OP is).

[jgraz]

I'm just bitter and clinging to my guns and religion

And my presumptive nominee.

[NewHampshireDem]

50. Stop it you!

I'm trying to drink a Coke here and you are making it absolutely impossible!

:spray:

[jgraz]

65. Here, have a gun. It'll make you feel better.

[bicentennial_baby]

148. Thanks

I really aim to be fair and not shoot below the belt, like some on both sides. What I heard this evening was just totally inappropriate. And, I don't care if Clinton's people do it, or we do it, or blah blah blah.

If my Momma taught me anything, it was manners. :)

[charlie]

83. Lol!

:D :thumbsup:

[Spazito]

14. I agree, it isn't the right thing to do at all...

Edwards was able to quiet them, though, and get his positive message across, thank goodness.

[TheDonkey]

16. It was mostly boos and I'm not going to lecture Obama supporters for booing a candidate who is

lashing out and trying to tear down Obama as we type. Sorry. :eyes:

I'm glad Obama settled them down but she's as much an enemy to Obama as McCain is.

[BlooInBloo]

47. But the race isn't over, so say Clinton supporters! Why shouldn't we boo the competition?

Unless they're trying to have it both ways, and get *free* shots in, of course.

[Kaylee]

17. Welp..that's why we need people like Edwards to put us all together again.

Hopefully, she will meet us halfway.

[RareLubbockDem]

18. I'm a strong Obama supporter

and I completely agree. Not all were booing, but no one should be.

[JackBeck]

20. And Obama tried to quiet the booing.

[bicentennial_baby]

23. I know, I was just...really disappointed.

They should be so happy, why go negative?

[JackBeck]

I know it wouldn't have been the way we would have reacted.

Contrary to what others may think.

It's bad form, that's for sure, but both Obama and Edwards know it's now about party unity and wanted none of it.

[PassingFair]

134. There is a lot of pent up anger at Clinton here, bibaby...

the booing is bad, but MANY are
angry at the attempted front-loading
of the "primary" here, and how it
was FORCED upon the voters, who
subsequently did NOT get to have
a valid primary.

It has been simmering at ALL of the
dem functions I've attended.

If you can believe it, not much
is said between the two factions...
it was BOUND to spill out somewhere.

[bicentennial_baby]

138. Y'know, I hadn't considered that aspect of it...

While still unfortunate, it does make more sense. Thank you! :)

[slinkerwink]

82. I'm glad he did. It's time to let Hillary be. Let her finish out the race on her own terms.

[mudesi]

22. She deserves it (nm)

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

150. Edwards was there to unite the party, booing undermines his message

Hillary may or may not deserve your anger, but there is a time and a place
for everything.

We don't want to lose or throw away this opportunity, do we?

[DemGa]

25. Obama's chickens are coming home to roost

[rodeodance]

26. thanks for your post. not nec. at all.

[ecstatic]

27. I agree. I didn't like it either. Mainly because I know Obama doesn't

want that. The crowd should respect Obama's presence. What astounds me is that the crowd seems to have little or no interest in John Edwards. Did anyone notice all the Obama chants while Edwards was talking?

[malta blue]

28. K&R bi_baby

:pals:

I was not happy with that at all. It does nothing for our cause.

[sfam]

29. I'm "shocked, shocked" that there's anger and hatred between the candidate's supporters!!!

Give me a break. What'd you expect?

[bicentennial_baby]

37. I didn't expect anything, but I hoped that they could contain themselves..

This is a very difficult moment for Hillary. Respect would be nice.

[sfam]

44. Would be nice if we did that here for each other as well, but...

DU certainly doesn't show respect. Why would you expect those attending a rally would?

Yes, it would be nice, but expected?

[elocs]

30. Does anybody really think if it had been the other way around, that it would have been different/

That if Obama's name was brought up at a Clinton rally that the mention of his name would not have been booed by Hillary supporters? If people get their undies in a bind over something like booing, they are way too sensitive compared to other things that have been said and done in this campaign.

[4themind]

31. They're sayng "Boo-urns"

(simpsons reference heh)If it's not a long term thing (which I hope it's not but can't prove) it's forgivable (IMO). Lord knows I've gotten a little caught up in the moment myself,and I can recall some comments of hers that may have caused me to boo at any given point in time. In the end,though, hopefully there isn't any long term acrimony, and in terms of preparing for the G.E. that's what matters most, the ability to forgive the short-term acrimonies and blips on both sides to look towards the future.

[sniffa]

32. You must be off your meds

:P

K&R

[sandnsea]

34. After what she's done

She's lucky she doesn't get rotten tomatoes thrown at her.

[Raine]

64. I gotta agree

it wasn't classy but Hillary brought it on herself with her own divisive tactives.

[ORDagnabbit]

35. its an excitable time and people are tired of the lies and the crap they had to deal with for 28

years.....

as soon as Obama is certified the Nominee and Hillary stops trashing him the boos will change.

[rodeodance]

40. The OP has shown that obama fans can have class. You are NOT one of them.

[ORDagnabbit]

99. yeah I dont give false praise. sorry.

[rodeodance]

127. my praise for the OP was not false.

[ronnykmarshall]

38. What happened?

I just got home and didn't see it.

[bicentennial_baby]

42. When Edwards started speaking, he began to pay tribute to Hillary, and

as soon as he said her name, about 1/2 of the crowd began to boo. I'm sorry, on behalf of my side. x(

:pals:

[Unbowed]

39. People are human and her behavior has been disgraceful.

I boo her from my living room every day.

[greguganus]

49. I would boo her but I'm too busy laughing at her supporters. HAHAHAHA n/t

[peace13]

43. Sorry but Hill fans do the same.

Just hurts when it's your 'guy'. I don't condone it but you have to admit that Hill has sent her share of subliminal boos over the past year.

[bicentennial_baby]

45. This is different...This moment is a turning point, I think

and it showed a remarkable lack of class on the part of my candidate's supporters in Grand Rapids. I'm entitled to my opinion. :)

[NewHampshireDem]

"This is different"

Sorry, but you had me until that point ... It's *always* different when Obama supporters do it, isn't it? Always.

[bicentennial_baby]

66. I'm an Obama supporter...

:wtf:

[BlooInBloo]

81. As far as I'm concerned, it'll be "different" when she and her supporters concede....

And not a second until then.


EDIT: I do acknowledge that Obama-supporters' opinions differ on this issue, of course. I don't think the difference has anything to do with classiness - just a different appreciation of what a competition is all about.

Now if Obama people were booing her AFTER she had conceded, then I would agree with you on the lack of classiness thing.

[sendero]

116. Things like class...

... go out the window when you realize some delusional narcissist is willing to damage the whole party rather than face the blatant, obvious truth that she HAS LOST.

HRC is ruining what tenuous reputation she had. She will look back on this time someday and wonder what she was thinking.

[peace13]

158. Yes of course, proceed...

Have you noticed how ignorant a huge number of American citizens are? To go 'shame on you' to people you don't know and who aren't related to those here does good in what way?

[beachmom]

46. I think Edwards could have worked the crowd a little bit more to appeal to their better angels.

He just kept talking, instead of telling them no.

[Aloha Spirit]

51. That and the chanting are two reasons I wouldn't go to a rally.

[nichomachus]

52. It's a political rally -- some people booed the opponent -- so what

Some of you people need to grow up -- this has been going on since time immemorial in politics.

Now, if people booed her during her speech when she drops out, that would show no class.

My God -- if your skins are that thin, you really need to stay away from politics -- and any competition, for that matter. Stick with T-ball or something.

[ampad]

59. Thank you

Geesh, you would of thought someone came up and slapped Hillary or something. People are getting tired of this primary and want it over.

[Az_lefty]

53. I guarantee the same would happen at a Hillary rally if someone talked up Obama..

it's just emotion and they got past it.

[krabigirl]

54. Me too! Save them for McCain!

[greguganus]

55. I bet Hilary is crying for real now, yelling at Bill, "WHY WHY YOU PROMISED ME THE PRESIDENCY!!" n/t

[Window]

56. Yeah, that wasn't nice at all.

:thumbsdown:

[JuniperLea]

57. Good for you, bi-baby...

I don't understand the need some still feel to bash Clinton. If it's so over, and Obama has it sewn up, why the need to continue on in this vile mode?

I hope more people on both sides take your lead.

[redqueen]

58. Ugh... that is disgusting indeed.

*sigh*

[Tatiana]

60. It was tacky. But honestly, what could you expect after the campaign that has been waged?

It will take some time for them to heal, but they will.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

61. They weren't booing. They were yelling "2209." nt

[anamandujano]

62. That ought to help with the push for unity and the begging for Hillary's voters.

:eyes:

[democrattotheend]

67. I've heard her supporters boo Obama at her rallies too

It's inevitable. Tasteless, but inevitable.

[ShortnFiery]

63. More feigned indignation ... perfect timing as always.

:shrug:

[sniffa]

68. ...

:boring:

[bicentennial_baby]

72. Ummm...Do you see my avatar?

Have you seen how I've supported Obama since February? How I've donated hundreds of dollars to his campaign? Jesus fucking christ.

[Carrieyazel]

69. A bunch of sniveling imbeciles is what they are, and their lack of class is telling

[Gore1FL]

70. Edwards turned it around though

and they were cheering in the end for her.

But I agree... The booing was a bit embarrassing.

[shadowknows69]

71. I was too, at least they nipped it in the bud quickly

[newmajority]

73. It's no secret that I don't care for Hillary all that much

But I have to agree, the booing wasn't necessary. And by the look on Obama's face, he didn't think so either.

[Shakespeare]

74. They came around (thanks to Edwards), and cheered her heartily.

I understand why it happened; it'd be like asking Redskins fans to cheer the Cowboys at a Redskins game, so, while I didn't like it, in context of WHAT the event was, it's understandable.

Besides, they did come around and cheered her, and I think it ended up being a really wonderful moment.

[bicentennial_baby]

76. I know...I just cringed when it happened...I just wanted a happy moment

That kinda killed it for me. Call me idealistic. :P

[Shakespeare]

79. I did, too. And breathed a sigh of relief when they changed to cheers.

God, I love Edwards. Total, total class way to handle the endorsement.

[slinkerwink]

84. yeah, they did cheer her at the end

[EFerrari]

75. I know. I think a lot of people have primary PTSD. n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

77. I totally agree!!

Sen. Obama was not my first choice. But now that he is the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party I support him wholeheartedly.

However, that booing was just down right ignorant and and reprehensible!

[TTUBatfan2008]

80. And every time Hillary mentions Obama at her rallies...

they boo the living fuck out of him.

[Genevieve]

87. They sure do....this was nothing.

And some of them carry some real nasty signs-- (i.e" Barack Hussain Obama, Terrorist"- their spelling)

[sniffa]

98. True, but we should be better than that

It's hard at times, I know (it's me talking), but we can try.

[Genevieve]

118. I don't like the booing either.

But it's not just Obama supporters that boo HC -- it goes both ways.
Still, It does make me uneasy and I would never do it. Even though Hillary has really supremely pissed me off
throughout her entire campaign.

[sniffa]

119. Believe me, I understand

As "one of the nastiest posters on DU."

I bite my tongue constantly. Sometimes I don't, but that's actually in the minimum, and has been for quite some time.

[TTUBatfan2008]

151. I agree...

I have not gone to an Obama rally but if I did, I would not boo her when her name came up. Boo McCain but don't boo someone that's on the same team. The primary contest is like the competition between who will be starting quarterback on a football team. They are still teammates in the big picture and it's important not to forget that. The vitriol on both sides is pretty disgusting though.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

131. It's different when Hillary Clinton and her supporters do something. nt

[SeattleGirl]

85. Me too. n/t

[DesertRat]

86. It made me sick. And I voted for Kucinich...

K&R

[bicentennial_baby]

96. I'm a former DK-er....Hey there!

I still have my Kucinich 08 sign in my livingroom! :bounce:

:hi:

[DesertRat]

109. I love Dennis!!

I need a "Don't blame me, I voted for Kucinich" sign! :hi:

I don't have favorite candidate anymore. I'll vote for whoever is the Dem. nominee as I always have. Even though I'm sure all of my state's electoral votes will go to McSame. :puke:

[bicentennial_baby]

113. Ha! That's what I said to my boss!

:rofl:

She's a hardcore radical...SO much so that she thinks The Nation is too far right. We were discussing the election, and I said, "Don't blame me, I voted for Dennis!!" :D

:yourock:

[progressoid]

88. Ya, it's time to start acting like adults again.

Or for the first time for some of us.

[dano81818]

90. that's what happens when you wear out your welcome.

she is the reason for all the strife and division in the party.

[Beacool]

91. That's OK

I just got a 3rd call from campaign volunteers and a friend who decided that they will not vote for Obama. Two won't vote or write-in her name and a third actually said that he will vote for McCain.

Keep up "uniting" the party folks. Force Hillary out before June 3rd and McCain will send you a thank you note.

[bicentennial_baby]

94. I happen to believe that that is against any Democrat's interest, but...

It's not my place to tell people how to vote. I can only hope that minds will change come November. :)

[Beacool]

108. I'm on the phone right now with someone who's watching Tweety

and he's once again insulting Hillary supporters by calling them uneducated. Well, all these "uneducated" folks will flock to McCain.

[newmajority]

145. If they flock to McLoon

then that only proves that they are, indeed, stupid dumbasses.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

154. Do you like McCain as much as you like Hillary? Do you think they are alike?

If you could support like McCain, then I truly question why you ever supported Hillary Clinton.
DO you think McCain is a good substitute for Hillary?

If you are one of those people who thinks Obama is a "secret muslim"
or some other kookie shit, then that statement fits. I will assume you
subscribe to some weird right wing newsletter.

I think though that you are just angry and are willing to cut off your nose
to spite your face.

The idea that you would voluntarily hand our country over to the third Bush
term is horrible.

Its as if you think that Barack burglarized Hillary out of the nomination.

Its just not so. He worked hard, he registered voters, he ran an intensive campaign
and had alot of support. I never heard of him before and then I had to pick from
him or Edwards. I hadn't made up my mind and Edwards dropped out, way before our
primary.

Obama and Edwards ran on the Change theme.

The most important thing to voters was change - that was the overriding theme.

With the two of them running on the same message, the vote was split. Edwards was trailing
so he dropped out. He was the right person at the wrong time.

Hillary approached the primary with "experience", and unfortunately that wasn't what
resounded with the majority of voters. Experience might have been the right message back
in 2000. But now voters wanted to completely change Washington, just empty out and start over.

Further, her campaign advisors did her no justice.

[Jamastiene]

110. I just cannot see any of those people as my "fellow" anything

after some of the attacks on older (and sometimes younger) women, gays, and poor people who voted for Hillary in the primaries have had to endure. I've been personally offended (which isn't easy to do) by the depictions of Hillary being burned at the stake, mentions of putting her down like she's a horse, and mentions of other violence toward women. It's been like being told I deserved to be raped all over again by people I had thought were my friends. Even my aunt said she will not vote for him because of this stuff. That's really something else, because she NEVER votes for anyone other than Democrats in the general election.

[bicentennial_baby]

115. You don't have much ground to stand on when it comes to class...

After the events of the night before last. Keep that in mind.

:)

[L0oniX]

92. Oh so what. They boo at baseball games too. Big deal.

[Straight Shooter]

106. Perfect analogy. This entire campaign reminds me of a sports event.

American Idol Gladiators.

[sasquatch]

93. I think it is a byproduct though of the Clinton tactics

But its still bad though.

[bicentennial_baby]

95. I think Obama supporters can take responsibility for their own behavior

instead of blaming it on Clinton's. :)

[jgraz]

104. Most of us would never boo her

Just like most of DU's Hillary supporters would never act like the people we've seen from WV.

[DefenseLawyer]

97. Boo fucking hoo

He's not qualified to be president like John McCain is, he's not a muslim as far as I know, he can't win with hard working white Americans, I would have left that church, he is an elitist who is taking your guns... when you run an absolutely classless, no shameless, campaign you can't demand to be treated with class.

[otohara]

100. People Aren't Happy With Her

it was a reaction - Hillary Clinton has been pretty awful lately.

[IndependentDem]

102. i felt the same way and i got the feeling that John was upset by it also. n/t

[npincus]

103. There are a couple of assholes in every crowd.

They don't represent ME (or you).

Go-BAMA!

[DesertRat]

114. A LOT more than "a couple" of assholes in that crowd. n/t

[AspenRose]

107. Tacky

As Russell would say: "No Class"

[JVS]

111. They're human. They can only endure so much.

[DesertRat]

136. Oh Please

They'd better help work to unite the Democrats or they'll have to endure 4 years of McSame.

[FlaGranny]

112. Please!

I've heard Clinton supporters boo Obama at her rallies when she mentions his name. It only sounds a lot worse because his crowds are so much bigger.

Edit: I don't like it, though.

[AtomicKitten]

117. Until she bows out, all bets are off and this is standard issue at rallies.

Her supporters boo Barack at her rallies. I'm fine with that; it's just politics. I hope that assuages your outrage somewhat.

[Bonobo]

120. Yeah, you shouldn't boo people you dislike. Huh? WTF?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

121. it was really sad.....and so unnecessary......thank you for acknowledging it

the booing made me :puke:

[bicentennial_baby]

124. Me too, believe me...

Sniffa can attest to this, I cringed and covered my ears. Totally inappropriate. And a big STFU to the Obama supporters dismissing it as politics as usual. Ugh. Some days I want to just go back to supporting DK. x(

Yeah, I'm sincerely sorry for my camp's behavior this evening. Sigh. :pals:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

123. I'm surprised she would even show up there, much less boo him.

:*

[rodeodance]

126. you best read the posts upstream.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

129. I see Ignore is off.

:silly:

[rodeodance]

144. and you got caught looking foolish

[A-Schwarzenegger]

147. No, Simple One, you got caught with your sense of humor in your shoe.

I thought you were just PLAYING dumb.

[rodeodance]

166. you are one making the foolish post without first reading. next time read before you spout off.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

167. If you wish to keep drawing attention to your own rampant dullardy,

I am most pleased to help you, Huckleberry.
Were dimwittedness a virtue, you would be a saint.

[rodeodance]

168. ah, more childish name-calling. you keep proving to the world your foolishness.I find you boring.-so

good night.

...... "I am most pleased to help you, Huckleberry.
Were dimwittedness a virtue, you would be a saint." .....

[A-Schwarzenegger]

170. Good night, my simple friend.

[frylock]

125. shame on you, barak obama..

shame. on. you.

[L0oniX]

132. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Marie26]

133. Thanks

It's hard out here for a Hillary supporter. Intellectually, I know that Obama's the nominee, but it still feels almost like piling on now that everyone from Edwards to NARAL to the crowds are abandoning Clinton.Obama's got to find a way to win over Hillary supporters in order to defeat McCain, not alienate them further.

[JerseygirlCT]

135. Yup. Childish and totally unnecessary. nt

[Skip Intro]

137. Just the latest example of the arrogance. Sure doesn't scream unity, does it?

[zulchzulu]

139. As much as I disagreed, I certainly can see why they booed, just as at a HRC rally, they booed Obama

I think it was the PA rally where people booed Obama when HRC mentioned his name.

BFD...

[Bolo Boffin]

141. I'm sad to hear this too.

But I'm glad to hear that there were some chiding words from Obama, as I understand it.

[Lyric]

142. Thank you, Bi_baby

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

146. You are most welcome, m'dear

:hug:

[superkia]

152. If it were bush instead of Clinton, would you feel the same way...

just curious?

[saltpoint]

153. The boos were heard but they came from a far smaller number of

mouths than the majority who had there gathered, and what is most noticeable about the footage to me is that John Edwards persevered with his praise for Sen. Clinton, allowing the boo-birds' neighbors and seat-mates to hush them up while he spoke, and more to the point, while he asserted that she is a Democrat worthy of praise.

Imagine if George W. Bush behaved as well in circumstances over the last 8 years as John Edwards behaved in 10 minutes in Grand Rapids today.

Once the boo-birds were hushed, the grown-ups could get on with the day's business, but in addition to the endorsement of Senator Obama, Edwards praised Sen. Clinton and her supporters, and he set the praise in the context of the larger landscape we have to navigate in to defeat McCain and win many down-ballot victories.

I thought it was yet another outstanding performance by both the Senators I saw on that stage in the footage, and my guess is those Michigan Democrats who showed up to hear them thought so too.

155. They did boo originally but she got nice applause as the speech went on.

They applauded quite a bit as Edwards ran down the list of her accomplishments. And Barack did wave them down when they were booing.

156. Jesus. Get over it. Have you ever been to a political rally?

She's continuing to divide and ruin this party, and people are pissed off about that. This too shall pass. Is it "classy?" No. It's human. And Clinton supporters will happily boo Obama. It happens at every damn rally I've ever been to.

157. Hey, it got better as he continued. It's an OBAMA rally, and she's done a lot to piss people

off. So at a political rally you get that kind of emotion. But as Edwards proceeded, it got much "friendlier" as you can see. Don't worry yourself. Come June everyone will kiss and make up.

159. I am taking a moment to celebrate the fact that this type of post

will soon be a thing of the past. I am usually very tolerant around here but my last nerve has been pushed by this!

[bicentennial_baby]

160. Huh?

I have no idea what you mean by that...Oh, and in case you don't know, I'm a diehard OBAMA supporter.

161. Yikes - doesn't it tell you something?? She obviously has outstayed her welcome !

I bet you wouldn't have a single boo if she had dropped out when
she should have - March 7th after Texas. she's just plain
horrible. But, it is entirely her own fault - chosing to
be self-serving and Machiavellian - people feel that everywhere.

[LibraLiz1973]

162. Yeah, that was pretty low

I thought John's speech was classy & what he said at the beginning was in keeping with the type of person he is.

[Muttocracy]

164. I think stony silence would have gotten their point across effectively.

It made me cringe to hear actual boos. I wish both Obama and Edwards had cut it off more quickly, with a vocal, NO, from each of them. :(

169. free speech

171. I hope you were disgusted when her supporters booed Obama

during her victory speech in WV. :shrug:
