Are Obama supporters using the McClurkin debacle to blame Clinton supporters?

[Clintonista2]

To blame Clinton supporters for "orchestrating" and "creating controversy"? Clinton is, after all, the root of all evil. :eyes:

1. Other: John Edwards rules!

6. That's odd, I didn't see you lashing out at the OP of:

edit :rofl:

[jefferson_dem]

7. What the hell are you talking about?

Is the poster there an Obama supporter? Did you even read the OP anyway?

[Clintonista2]

10. Oops

A quick survey of most McClurkin threads, however, will show you the "It's Clinton's fault" people crying.

4. OH HELL YEAH.

it never occurs to them that people actually DO give a fuck about GLBT folk, unlike THEM who keep being apologists for Obama's major DISS of us.

15. Yep, it ALWAYS has to be an issue of the horserace

and never an issue of basic human rights. Well said JB.

5. Yes, some have been trying to deflect the damage...

by pointing at Clinton and Edwards. The attempts have been pathetic and lame and have been received accordingly.

11. I noticed you only registered a few weeks ago, but you've already caught on!!

You should have seen some of the stuff posted about Clinton a few months ago. You know all the posts about McClurkin? This is what it was like back when Clinton started laughing at the stupid questions she was being asked (Obama supporters on DU called it the "Clinton cackle), only this is a legitimate topic, her laugh is not.

8. Total distraction.

And I've been intrigued by how some DUers can discredit the DU LGBT community by assuming they are Hillary supporters, while not addressing the bigotry staring them straight in the face.

12. When a politician screws up, the best thing to do is to admit error, make amends, and move forward

Don't deny, like Bill Clinton did, or be cute with the facts, like Obama did.

19. this actually could have been old news by now but NOOOO.

obama and his apologists want to blame the gays, blame hillary, blame everybody else like fucking litte children and REMAIN in denial or act like nothing untoward occured.

20. And Keith Olbermann covered the controversy on his show tonight

and he mentioned that McCurdle was the emcee and that he spent half an hour defending himself against his LGBT critics.

13. according to the latest du poll numbers

DENNIS RULES!.......JOHN CLOSING THE GAP!..... News at 7

14. That accusation made me laugh

There would be outrage if any of the candidates had hired a bigot to headline a fundraiser. Especially had it been Hillary.

Earlier in the campaign, Richardson had bombed at the LOGO debate and even said he thought homosexuality was a choice. He got a lot of well-deserved flack on DU over it. However, unlike what's happening with Obama, most of the Richardson supporters saw his performance as a deal breaker and moved on to greener pastures (myself included) and the threads stopped within a day.

[Clintonista2]

16. True, everytime the McClurkin thing starts to die down

Obama supporters create posts about it, giving the issue more attention.

[Ediacara]

17. Richardson's performance felt undefendable

Not only did he say he thought homosexuality was a choice, he seemed drunk. He put out a press release the next day saying he misunderstood the question (despite the fact he was asked several times in several different phrasings). Maybe he really was drunk?

18. I've been amusing myself imagining that Hillary Clinton hired a white supremacist

to sing country songs at one of her campaign stops in the midwest. I'm sure that there are white supremacist country singers out there somewhere (by the way, I'm a fan of country music, so this isn't meant as a slur against them). Imagine if Hillary Clinton hired one to headline - Master of Ceremonies! - one of her campaign events.

Imagine. The. Fury.

21. I'm sick of your flamebait polls

all you are doing by continuing to bring this up is continuing to stick Clinton-supporer-fingerprints on the outrage.

[Clintonista2]

22. Flamebait? Don't see any flames in here

All you do is call polls you disagree with "flamebait." Get over yourself.
