Reply #33: Those of us who are Obama supporters [View All]

[liberalhistorian]

have been called numerous names by the Clinton supporters, including "Obamababies", "Obamabozos", "O-bots", "Obamamaniacs", "Obamessiahs" and on and on. And with great gusto, too, I might add. I don't recall reading one word of apology from any of the Clinton people about that. AT ALL. I am NOT an Obamababy, Obamabozo, O-bot, Obamamaniac, Obamessiah. I am an Obama supporter. Just as you are not a Hillhound, Shrillbot or Hillbot, just a Hillary supporter. But I hear the former names against us a lot more than the latter names, believe me.

And let's not put a halo over the head of the Clinton campaign or supporters, mmmmkay? They have resorted to their own dirty tricks against Obama, no question. But I guess that doesn't count, does it? Anything to get her into office, huh? She's allowed to manipulate, twist and distort what he does and says, and to smear with the nonsense about drug use and the racial divisiveness, etc., but if he responds to it he's the one with the manipulation and dirty tricks? I don't think so.

Clinton has run on a "victimhood" platform, pulling the misogyny card at every turn, which is bullshit. She has also run on an "inevitability" platform, in other words, it's inevitable that she will be given the nomination and she is entitled to the presidency, damnit! How dare anyone else run against her and how dare people vote for anyone but her! She should just be given the damned nomination. Don't people know they owe her everything and they should be grateful? And her supporters here have been relentless this past year in shoving her down our throats, yammering that she will be the nominee, like it or not, and get over it.

So, what it basically boils down to is that her and her supporters are like spoiled little children, stamping their feet because they're not getting everything they want and are demanding that they deserve. Newsflash. No one is holding a gun to people's heads and forcing them to vote for Obama. People are exercising their right to vote for whom they want and right now, they ain't buyin' what Clinton is selling. This IS a democracy, you know. She is not automatically entitled to the nomination and the presidency.
