Okay seriously, Obama supporters, this Memphis photo-op thing is fucking stupid [View All]

So is sniper-gate and so is bookbag-gate.

These things are little more than tabloid stories that tell me absolutely nothing about how good or bad of a president Clinton will be. They are exploited on DU and in the case of sniper-gate, the mainstream media, to make you believe that Clinton makes up stories and say anything to get elected. Maybe she does maybe she doesn't. I don't know her personally and so I can't say for sure. But I do know that she has given me absolutely no reason to believe that she is a liar because these hyped up incidents are not evidence that she lies even though someone on television tells me that they are. And since I don't have good reason to believe otherwise, I give her the benefit of the doubt.

They do the same thing to Obama. They play this Reverand Wright bullshit over and over again and extrapolate from it that Obama must hate white people, homosexuals, and Jews because his preacher said some mean things. Reverand Wright doesn't tell me a damn thing about how Obama will do as President. Again, I don't know for a fact that he doesn't hate white people, homosexuals, and Jews because I don't know him personally. But he has given me absolutely no reason to believe otherwise and so just like with Clinton, I give him the benefit of the doubt.

As an Obama supporter I say that EVERYBODY needs to stop pretending that we know every little thing about these candidates' personalities just because of these few instances that get reported in the media. Lets stick to the issues.
