Nothing in response to that post. Just crickets loudly peeping. I asked how people would feel if Bush had said something like that, and no responses came from Clinton supporters. Here's my post below:

Q: President Bush, Hillary Clinton is going to be your succesor. How do you feel about that?

GWB: Now hold on, Senator McCain is still waiting for the election results to be certified, He has been willing to do all of that during the entire process, and people have been trying to push him out of this ever since...

Q: Why?

GWB: I don't know, I don't know. I find it curious, because it is unheard of in history. I don't understand it. And you know, between Senator Obama and his camp and some in the media, there has been this urgency to end this And, you know, historically that makes no sense. So, I find it a bit of a mystery.

Q: You don't buy the national unity argument?

GWB: I don't. Because, you know, Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000, but I wound up President, didn't I. Right? We all remember Benazir Bhutto was assassinated earlier this year. You know, I just - I don't understand it, and, you know, there's a lot of speculation about why it is.

1. Take it as a good sign

Some of them do understand shame.

[slinkerwink]

4. And I think it's sad they can't even begin to empathize as to why we would be upset

[K Gardner]

22. I don't recall ONE of them even remarking that the comment was wrong. Let them eat cake.

[slinkerwink]

24. you can see by the responses below that they're pretending that the post doesn't make sense

and refuse to answer my question.

[murielm99]

28. I think it is because many of them have you on ignore.

The rest of them have been chased away by the hate here.

[slinkerwink]

30. and will you honestly answer my question?

[murielm99]

32. You are not as important as you think you are.

[slinkerwink]

35. Still no answer to the question posed.

[slinkerwink]

2. 24 views and nothing....

[ShortnFiery]

3. Perhaps that's because the concept of "empathy" is so foreign to those who feel they're heroine

is *entitled* by her mere birthright. However one chooses to justify it, "self-righteousness" is a lot of baggage to be carrying around. :shrug:

5. Ironic!

No Clinton Supporters Responded To My Post About Empathy

:rofl:

But then, what would the say?

[qijackie]

6. Looked like the circle jerk didn't need us.

[slinkerwink]

7. and how would you feel if Bush said that about our Democratic nominee?

[qijackie]

10. Sorry but your post makes no sense to me.

[slinkerwink]

12. Answer my question, please. Try to empathize instead of insulting.

[qijackie]

15. With whom am I trying to empathize? And how can I answer a

question that makes no sense to me?

[slinkerwink]

19. the anger and hurt that many Obama supporters feel. Let me put it to you this way.

How would you feel if Bush made a reference to the assassination of RFK as a reason for McCain to stay in until all the electoral votes came in?

[qijackie]

33. I think this is mixing apples & oranges to make some point that escapes me.

Since I don't think Senator Clinton was referring to Senator Obama at all, only to the fact that we remember that the 1968 nomination fight went to June because we remember RFK, then I think there is little for anyone to feel badly about.

[slinkerwink]

36. It wasn't even the right historical reference to make, and it is NOT acceptable to bring up an

assasination reference as the reason to stay in. Still no answer to the question posed above.

[qijackie]

37. I can only say your question makes no sense to me.

[slinkerwink]

38. Still no answer, or any attempt to empathize.

[qijackie]

39. You're right.

[slinkerwink]

40. let me change the post in a minute from Obama to Clinton, and I'll see if your

perspective changes.

[qijackie]

43. No need. I agree with post 41.

[2rth2pwr]

8. See how many times you can post this nonsense over and over.

[Perry Logan]

9. This thread STRONGLY suggests that not many Obamites belong to Mensa.

Not that I am. But consider: you put half the forum on ignore--then complain when you get no responses from them.

Not that you're empathy post wasn't brilliant.

[slinkerwink]

11. And how would you feel if Bush said that about our Democratic nominee?

[Perry Logan]

23. I agree with Robert Kennedy Jr, on the matter. It was a time reference--nothing more.

So--in answer to your query--it would not ruffle my feathers a bit if Bush said something like that. It is a completely unexceptionable statement.

[slinkerwink]

27. Okay. What if Bush said that if Clinton was the Democratic nominee? Think about her,

and your reaction if Bush made an offhand reference to an assassination of a DEMOCRATIC politician as the reason for staying in.

[Deja Q]

16. Does Hillary belong to MENSA, or to appease the sexists; WOMENSA?

But my silly joke aside, I agree with your assertion.

[Perry Logan]

26. I don't know about Hillary, but I heard that Bill Clinton's IQ is around 180.

[Deja Q]

13. Didn't they all leave DU, or at least promise or threaten to?

:hide:


(Yes, my comment was made in jest. Any real discussion is valuable and unlike the posts of people whining about leaving, yours deserves a serious discussion.)

[slinkerwink]

14. I put my post up early in the morning before all the remarks about leaving DU

[JVS]

25. promises promises

[slinkerwink]

42. thank you.

[Evergreen Emerald]

17. was it a test?

Perhaps you need to make more sense when you post pretend tests to confirm your justification for your hate.

[slinkerwink]

20. answer the question, please.

[AuntPatsy]

29. This is getting rediculous don't you agree?

[slinkerwink]

31. and will you answer the question in my post? What if it was said about Clinton if she was

the Democratic nominee?

[AuntPatsy]

45. honestly slinkerwink and I swear on my childrens life I am being

truthful, I would not have come to the same conclusion that so many have....perhaps because it is a historical fact. I happen to love the Kennedys and I was around both times. I just do not feel that comment was meant in that text so in answer to your question it would not bother me.

By the way, I want and still would Biden....I admire Sen clinton and Sen Obama, but my first choice was Biden

[Evergreen Emerald]

34. Yes. It is.

What a shame. DU has fallen so far.

[AuntPatsy]

46. A huge shame, I left another board very similar several years ago

it turned into a huge ugly festering wound and I see that happening to Du daily and it is a shame..very sad, in the beginning, OMG the minds that shared, I miss them, we still thankfully have some here, but not like before..no one wants to listen, to learn, to be fair...

[QC]

18. Please look at me everyone! Please!! n/t

[slinkerwink]

21. Still no answer to the question posed.

[BenDavid]

41. Hell, you want an answer, I will give you an answer. If bush had made

the comments I would have reconized it exactly what it was. A comment made about campaigns that can go on into June. But you also have to reconize there was another comment like this made several months back and hardly no one got upset because the whoremedia reconized it as some campaigns can run for a long time......but like then bush would have made the comments and there was no harm and no foul, but this comment made folks go apeshit. WhY? cause the mediawhores are so far up obambi's ass it is funny to watch how they express their opinions in hope to shape the discussion so obambi supporters can go to a blog or a forum like this and repeat the same apeshit stupid comments....

But I got a better comment for ya....RFK jr....."I have heard her make this reference before, and it would be a mistake for people to take offense." Maybe you all should not take offense but you already made your comments and some made, I feel pity for the ones making them....
