Obama seems to be a very divisive candidate.
His supporters have created quite a divide at DU with their attack tactics. It's been quite shameful.

Will his supporters carry this legacy forward? Will an Obama nomination be marked by endless hateful rightwinger-ish attacks?

1. OMFG! Are you serious?
And Mrs. Clinton is like a uniter not a divider, right?

9. I'm not making a comment on Mrs. Clinton, I'm commenting about the Obama supporters.
If you haven't noticed the divisive garbage on DU from his supporters, then I have to ask you "OMFG! Are you serious?"

2. Wow.
Hypocrisy much? Given that this is, of course... a divisive, downright substance-free attack?

Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 12:41 AM by billbuckhead
Wait till all these Obama kids try to sell "Barack Hussein Obama" in crucial border state suburbs, that will be ugly.

18. You were following him around with a bag, but you didn't pick it up.
You thought I wasn't watching, but I saw it all.

11. No doubt you posted a similar reprimand in all of the "Clinton was crying!" or "boo hoo!" topics?
If not, why not?

17. But did you post in all of the "Hillary crying!" topics, accusing them of "flamebait"?
If not, then why not?

I judged you correct, I wager.

13. As someone who's not a supporter of either of the big 3 ......
.... it's equal opportunity when it comes to divisiveness here. I don't know how you can blame it all on the Obama supporters.

26. Irony writ large
The OP decries divisiveness...

...by starting a divisive thread.


The great thing about tragic irony is that it often very funny.
