My current theory...

[bain_sidhe]

Anybody still bashing Clinton and/or ganging up on her supporters here secretly hates Obama and wants him to lose the General Election.

Discuss.

1. Well, considering she's still just day from her "hard working white people" slur...

I'm not giving her a pass. I don't like that sort of talk in the Democratic Party.

Hillary and Bill hurt a lot of people with that code language. It was shameful and it was still being employed by Hillary as recent as the beginning of this very week.

Standing up to racial codespeak against an entire class of Americans is not "bashing".

2. Granted that she's said stuff that a lot of us don't like

But... I hate to say it, because I still love and respect the woman, but she doesn't MATTER anymore, only her supporters do. She will not be the nominee. Obama will. He will need those supporters in the G.E., and beating up them or their chosen candidate, when their chosen candidate is NOT going to win the primary, is just driving them away from Obama.

And please, any of you Obama supporters out there firing up your robotic "anybody who lets anonymous internet posters determine their vote is an idiot" macro, spare me. If 6-8 people start beating up on somebody, all the while shouting Obama's name, that is going to affect the recipient's perception of Obama.

Every even slightly positive statement about Hillary gets swarmed by dozens of sneering, snarky, mean-spirited responses. I'm an Obama supporter, but that kind of cyber-sniping disgusts me. If it disgusts ME, imagine what it does to Hillary supporters.

Again. Hillary has lost. Regardless of the ever narrowing technically possible "path" to the nomination, we all recognize that it just isn't going to happen.

Move on, guys. Emulate John Edwards. She fought the good fight, give her her props, and MOVE ON!

12. I won't go out of my way to bash Clinton

but she's been a severe disappointment, to say the least. So I can't say 'she fought the good fight, give her her props.' She will NEVER get another prop from me. We have to be critical of those who call themselves Dems. And we really have to mean it, no equivocation. I realize that Edwards must give her props in a public speech while she is losing, but I sincerely hope that Dems have seen the light about Hillary. I hope her support wanes faster than foam on a latte. Hillary and her entourage are dead to me. I will be working on forgetting her--except I want her team to answer to the connection to illegal robocalls. :mad:

Hillary's campaign was a sorry betrayal of progressive values. Throwing her under my personal bus. :thumbsdown:

3. There are a lot more probably theories than that my friend. Try again.

4. As far as theories go

I think that's about the stupidest one I've ever heard.

10. criticism = bashing, eh? it's always the same

you got nothin'

don't acknowledge the real world evil being done, and fake outrage over some dumb shit on the internet

[bain_sidhe]

11. I'm a little reluctant to kick this dying thread...

But I just have to point out that your post is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. You obviously think I'm a Clinton supporter, so your first instinct is to bash me for saying anything.
