I know there are many more Obama supporters on DU than Hillary so why...
is it that Hillary supporters and their vile posts seem to absolutely dominate GD-Primary?? I get the feeling they are really organized or something.

1. They Take Turns Kicking Threads So They Stay Up...
I wish more Obama supporters posted here so I could ignore them completely.

4. I really try to do that in GDP
I do a lot of K&R for positive Obama threads in GDP. It just seems like things are ending up the same as they were right before the PA primary. I know that IA and NC are different than PA, but so many people are buying Clinton's lies and deception and all of the MSM is fighting so hard to help her win. I have had to avoid cable news all together all day, because they are spinning for HRC so hard it made my head ache. How do you guys see what is happening? I hope I am totally wrong about everything. I know he has more delegates, and she can't get more pledged delegates than he has-I just hope that the SDs aren't starting to buy her filthy lies. I'm not trying to be negative, I am just worried.

5. They are organized.
They have their own secret forum where they meet in secret and plot. They used to do it on their DU forum but kept getting in trouble.

6. Because they're looking for a negative reaction
and too many give into the urge. Rewarding negative behavior with negative attention only encourages that negative behavior to continue.

Seriously, just let it sink.

8. I think most Obama supporters know the math know that it will be over in 14 days and
just don't think it is worth the effort to get involved in silly stuff - right now its 50% about Wright

9. I think you are right.
I let their threads sink. I often don't even read their posts, especially the ones that I know will just make me angry. They want to get a rise out of us and fuel their threads, don't keep them going. I try to k&r the positive threads contributed by our members.

11. You know, just speaking generically, but maybe we should be
looking for each other's posts, and kicking those, instead of feeding the beasts. Clinton supporters always say outrageous things. So what. Ignore it. Then kicked the Obama threads, especially the really nice positive ones.

The other thing I do is instead of kicking THEIR threads, I start a new one in response. Then maybe people can look for those responses and kick THOSE ONES, while ignoring the Clinton threads. It's really simple. I just think we need to get the discipline to do it.
