It's just good having you guys around.

1. Don't think a little tears will stop the anger, pal.
Not after what's been going on around here.

2. Truer words were never spoken.
This place has been nastier than my extended family after a whole week in a beachhouse together.

And that's sayin' somethin'!!!

28. Awful behavior on all sides.
You just see the one side you want to see. I see both, including some bad behavior on my side.

30. But it's true. This whole "you owe me, pal" thing is baloney.
We're supposed to be grown ups here.

I'm dealing with a cadre of my people who are supporting Clinton. None of them is asking me to wave a magic wand or do time because their candidate didn't win.

39. I know, I don't understand that.
I've been asked here what I'm going to do to convince them to support Obama.

Well, I don't work for the Obama campaign and I don't know any Hillary supporters in real life. So it's really not an issue for me. They can get on board or not. I would hope they would, but it seems like they're saying "appease me and kiss my ass to get me to support Obama" and screw that. I don't even kiss ass to people I know in real life, much less on the intertubes.

36. Even now? What happened to "on to the White House"?
And I didn't charge into a conciliatory thread demanding lopsided penance, thanks.

8. Yeah, no.
Obama will get my vote only as a statement against McCain. But it's a little early for the kumbaya act after you and others like you have called us Republican freeper scum for the last several months.

16. I never called Clinton supporters Republican freeper scum.
The one thing I did was call for Clinton to drop out weeks ago. But I believed it to be the right thing to do.

9. There are a lot of hurt feelings that need healing
Edited on Tue May-06-08 11:47 PM by Tom Rinaldo
And some Clinton supporters will never feel warm and fuzzy with certain Obama supporters who, from a Clinton supporter perspective, were the most viscous toward Clinton and her supporters. But in most cases healing is possible, and it isn't about us anyway, it is about taking back America and electing a Democrat president in November.

I completely accept and appreciate the sincerity of your post.

22. Tom
both you and I know that the majority of Obama supporters here have behaved like vicious, angry little children. There are some very decent, honorable ones, but they were, unfortunately, outnumbered and outshouted. But I, for one, have no hurt feelings. I've said from the start I'd vote for Obama, and I will support him fully. But the basic human character of many of these people here has been exposed, over a long, multi-month period of time, and just because we will vote for the same candidate does not mean I have to respect, honor or like them.

26. Alright then, confront me.
I want to hear what I did or said that was so horrible.

Did I namecall? Take cheapshots or make nasty jokes?

32. I never considered you to be one of the most obnoxious Obama supporters here
There was far stronger competition for that designation than you (If anyone has a wan smile smiley to insert, this is where I would place it.)

37. At times it seemed the majority of the most prolific Obama posters here,
acted that way too frequently, but I never believed that he actual majority of Obama supporters on DU fit that description.

But I think a lot of Obama supporters who have said truly horrible things about Hillary Clinton on this board will not want to have those posts shoved in their faces a few months from now, when they will see how important Hillary is to the chances for a Democratic victory in November and how hard she will be working for our Party.

11. I appreciate the sentiment, but
it is too little...too late.

I feel very sad tonight about how things have gone...not just Hillary's loss, but the way I have been treated in real life by the obama supporters I know. Friendships have been lost over this...not because we support different candidates, but because of the vitriol.

I'll pull a lever for the dems in November, but I wont' be campaigning, calling, etc like in the past.

20. Notorious and outspoken, yes, but I've always been reasonable.
I called for Clinton to drop out on a couple of occasions.


What else did I do that you had a problem with?
