The immaturity of a lot of Obama supporters is showing

[info being]

Immediately after Iowa, so many naive, giddy voices started popping up at DU. Now he loses one by a few points and so many whiny voices start talking about the vote being rigged? You do see the humor in that, right?

I'm just saying, it's kind of embarrassing. What about winning and losing graciously?

[Deja Q]

1. Then what should we do? Swear big revenge and play with US Navy ships?

:yoiks:

[Parche]

8. I walk I ran

Either way I dont give a damn what they do.......................:rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[xultar]

2. Losing graciously only applied to last evening I guess.

[Donnachaidh]

10. uhhh, who posted a nasty note about Lynching Tiger Woods on a sports page?

To stir shit up? :eyes:

[xultar]

11. I didn't post it. GODDAMNIT A RACIST WHITE WOMAN SAID IT ON TV!!!

CAN YOU NOT FUCKING READ

[TwilightGardener]

13. Do you need an "Exploding Head" for yourself?

[xultar]

16. The poster accused me of posting something RACIST about Tiger on a sports Blog.

I do need an exploding head.

[xultar]

21. Exploding head #23 -----Is reserved for me.

[readmoreoften]

42. I'm so sorry Xultar. This is some racist bullshit. A newscaster calling for lynching is serious

and anyone who doesn't agree is off their cake.

I value your posts, please continue.

[Bitwit1234]

19. BUT she was a very good friend of Tiger Woods and they

explained what happened and the fact that Tiger was not offended...so that little piece of trying to stir up trouble fizzed out didn't it.

[xultar]

20. Yeah. A white friend of mine would say that I should be lynched...in a joke.

SURE.

[Marrah_G]

36. Breathe

Have a drink with me. :toast:

I think they just don't get it.

[xultar]

39. Can you believe on this planet a person could come up with that shit?

WTF in any of my posts on the Tiger Woods thing would make any one believe that I posted something about lynching Tiger on a sports blog?
When..
I POSTED THE FUCKIN LINK TO THE GOODDAMNED NEWS STORY

[xultar]

22. OH and I DEMAND A POSTED APOLOGY when you remove your head...

[Marrah_G]

34. WTF are you taking about- SHe posted an ARTICLE about a racist comment by a sportscaster

[xultar]

40. Thank you.

[peabody71]

51. STOLEN!

Yes I'm so immature.

Ignorance is a cozy thing.

Fucking idiots.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Most Obama supporters aren't doing that. A few goofballs don't make

your post true.

[debatepro]

4. post some

examples... it does you no good to homogenize all of the Obama supporters under one tent for the transgressions of a few.

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. I didn't know Diebold had machines in Iowa! That's good to know though.

:eyes:

I support Edwards.

[book_worm]

6. A few idiots don't make up a "lot" of Obama supporters.

[info being]

9. My bad then

My conclusion of it being "a lot" was based on the fact that they were able to take over the overall tone and storyline at DU today. So if in fact it were just a few who were able to accomplish this, then I stand corrected.

[blogslut]

7. Define most

I'm fine with the way the campaign is going. Now, we really have a contest and I hope it is a good one.

[helderheid]

14. I don't support Obama but I do support verifiable elections.

17. It is not the Obama supporters fault.

After all, how are they to know? Don't you see the larger issue here? This is going to continue happening -- and it will get worse -- as long as these goddamn proprietary secret privatized voting machines are allowed to exist. Would many/any of these people have spoken up twenty years ago? No, because there was always a way to go back and trace the results. Even in regard to stories of dead people showing up on voter rolls, at least that could be easily traced to a paper record, too. Now, we can't do jack about anything. Can't ask for a recount -- hell, can't even do one if you asked. Can't do any sort of audit. And we're told to simply trust a couple of large corporations who happen to be in bed with one of the parties.

And you dare call Obama supporters whiners? There is no gracious win in a rigged game. And no loss should be taken graciously when there are questions hanging over it.

Thank Bush and e-voting.

23. This deserves a thread all it's own.

[helderheid]

24. PLEASE post this in its own thread!

:applause:

[info being]

25. I agree with you on electronic voting

I've been concerned about this since I first heard of Diebold in 2003.

Where was their concern for the issue last night?

[EFerrari]

28. How often do you go to the Election Reform forum? n/t

[info being]

43. Oh is that how we measure support?

Not sure what your point is.

[EFerrari]

46. I mean, there is and has been plenty of concern there and, for years.

I don't pop in often enough nor do I read enough, myself.

[Lerkfish]

33. apparently, their point is that as long as their candidate wins, election

non-transparency is a non-issue.

[moondust]

18. You're way off.

When 10+ polls and the anecdotal evidence on the ground are ALL wrong there is more than enough reason to question the integrity of the process.

[Blarch]

26. and when Edwards loses ...

they claim it's the medias fault. and when Hillary loses it's because the people are living in a fairy tale

[EFerrari]

27. You couldn't be more wrong. People voicing their concerns

are election reform people, not Obama supporters.

What is embarrassing is that even after two stolen elections so many people here still accept faith based election results.

[helderheid]

30. Exactly, thank you.

[BooScout]

29. I agree n/t

[Lerkfish]

31. oh, the irony of this thread

:eyes:

[graywarrior]

32. .

:P

[madrchsod]

37. did you mean irony or ironing?

[Lerkfish]

38. that picture is the depth of irony

I'd say about Mark Twain.

:)

[madrchsod]

35. there are complete assholes in any group

i think there`s an ignore feature..it will help with your outlook

[xultar]

41. Yeah...It'll make your outlook blank.

:rofl:

[readmoreoften]

44. What I don't understand is why would the rigging just have to do with Obama? Why not rig it to

put Edwards in 3rd to insure he doesn't rise. Edwards folks could play the same game if they wanted to.

I heartily distrust electronic voting but I don't see how a Clinton win is more advantageous for Rovian corporate tricksters than an Obama win. They seem pretty okay with Obama and he wants to play nice with them. He doesn't seem like a threat to me.

[EFerrari]

50. Republicans have invested years in training their pavlovian base

to hate Clintons. It's just easier for them. The groundwork was laid years ago. :shrug:

When I see the people who have built the ER forum expressing their much more informed concern, I need to listen up.

The bottom line is, none of our excellent candidates are a threat if they can steal it come November. That's the real issue here.

[Perry Logan]

45. Let's all hold our breaths waiting for an Obamite to apologize...

[tmoore411]

47. Politics in general have steadily become immature endeavors

over the last several election cycles. I am new here, but am alarmed not at the whining going on when this or that candidate loses, what concerns me is the "sandbox" mentality that pervades democratic politics IMO. I have read several threads and have just started posting as I formed my opinion, but this whole contingent of "If I don't get the candidate I want I'm taking my toys and going home" posters is driving me nuts. This was the exact demeanor of voters that got us into 8 years of the "Decider" to start with. This is life, you don't get "everything" you want, if you don't want to vote democratic, go play in another sandbox and stop whining when you lose and crowing when you win...both prospects demean the discussion.

[NashVegas]

48. What's Embarrassing

Are the lurkers who suddenly surface during campaign season, act like assholes, and leave regular contributors to think (your candidate here) supporters are all dicks.

[otohara]

49. Hey We're Young

errr...I mean they're young.

Goodness gracious give the kids a break. They worked their asses off in Iowa and it paid off, they were giddy.

I'm thinking women came out in droves in NH because they saw Hillary getting attacked and when she had her mini-moment, that did it for many of the female gender. I felt very sorry for her after the debate question about her "likability" and the "mini-moment" - I wouldn't have changed my vote, but I can understand why many women might have.
