What Will Be the Overblown Attack on Obama Tomorrow With Fake Outrage?
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 10:06 PM by David Zephyr
There is no other "liberal" site I've found where so much out-of-breath and hyperbolic exaggerations are made against one of our candidates on a daily basis.

Barack is a homophobe. Barack bashes the gay community with a bat. Barack "is the enemy of gay folk." Barack is a "dangerous" man. How dare Barack not publicly state his disagreement at least ten times more with a homophobic homosexual when my candidate has praised the Pope and Billy Graham for years never upsetting me.

Barack is a Republican. Barack worships Ronald Reagan. How dare Barack Obama say something about positive Ronald Reagan even though my candidate has done it over and over for years!

Wondering what the phony outrage will be about tomorrow.

Have some fun. It's late. :)

1. Has Friends Who Are Thespians
And he, himself, is a known Homo Sapien.

These are things best kept in the bedroom, not the White House.

4. Obama will win the general election by 20 points
and Clinton folk will be on here saying she would have won it by 25.

Edwards people will say he could have won by 104.

6. It happens..Hillary supporters thought she was going to run away
with the nomination. So you're going to see a bunch of BS overreaction. But they can't stop him, no matter what they do.

13. No outrage. We are having a good time, ruggerson.
Lighten up. You can be outraged all over again tomorrow, but I bet you'd rather have a good time.

10. I do not know but on another thread a short time ago
I posted this sentiment: tricks are for kids. Sure, it's trite but it is appropriate here.

I am getting so, so tired of these cheap shots taken at the man. I wonder how long he can continue taking the high road before he has to resort to Chicago street smarts. I believe he might be destined for political road kill if he does not soon start to defend himself against these crass (but ever so childish) tricks.

I am opening myself up for flame bait by making this remark, but I cannot hold it in any longer. I always assume this comes straight from the Hillary campaign as opposed to Edwards. Is it one or the other or both ganging up on him?

Sam

20. Quite a few of them were TSed as a result of it as well...
Not all, unfortunately, but quite a few. If you want, and can post many threads and posts that were homophobic in nature, if it will make you feel better.

29. The blatant ones were deleted, obviously...
But here was a late poster who thought Homosexuality is a choice.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3628257#3629015

Here's another one, it WAS deleted, but the post itself said "I have nothing against Homos, but..."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3628257#3629769

Here's another that could have been posted by a simple disruptor, but compared Homosexuality to Alcoholism

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3634480#3634948

Here's a guy who is mocking LGBT people's feelings towards McClurkin.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3634875

Oh, and here is a VERY interesting post, as far as I can tell, this poster basically said they believe homosexuality is a sin, but will never admit it on DU, for fear of being banned.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3628257&mesg_id=3628975

Oh, and last but not least, here's a poster, who, in a fit of total insensitivity, calls the whole McClurkin fiasco, "that gay thing".

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3966281#3966425

Oh, and I take money orders and cheques, by the way, this is only after 10 minutes of searching, if you want more, I'll happily provide you with the evidence.

32. Sorry, I misconstrued what you meant, I read your subject line too quickly...
I just object to the overall conduct of Obama Supporters, especially to the McClurkin affair. So much insensitivity and in many cases, just blatant dismissal of fellow DUers on an attack on their very being. It was horrendous.

16. Hillary is ahead in most of the polls I don't understand why they need to sink to that level
I'm an Edwards supporter but the sillyness of the Hillary folks on this board have ALMOST pushed me to vote for Obama.

18. Maybe we will call all of Obama's supporters southern racists
no wait you already did that, to us. Sorry, but it is a little hard to take the notion that we are the ones having outrage attacks.

36. What An Inane Comment... Malleable?? Not On Your Life... I Don't STICK
MY FINGER IN THE AIR and see which way the winds is blowing! I've been Edwards for a long time AND I see Obama as the one who can manipulate far too many simply because his followers who aren't die-hard politics like us, simply hear his name over and over!

Jane said Polly said that Robert said that his friend thinks Obama will win because MSM says so!

I'm dedicated... not blinded by glitz or stars in my eyes!!

24. It's what he says. Maybe he should'nt ever bring up Reagan with Democrats. However if he's
capitulating to the Repugs then "go for it dude".

35. Depends on which Republican he decides to use.
Or which Homophobic BIGOT he decides to use in a fund raising tour. I can assure you it will NOT be fake outrage.
