Clinton supporters angry at the responses she got in this forum

[Yotun]

Please, try to leave your partisanship aside for a moment, and consider this scenario for a second. Imagine for a moment that Hilalry Clinton had today recieved 2118 delegates, sealed the deal, and become the Democratic nominee. Imagine if it was your side that had just won the primary.

-And that Obama came up and made a speech, introduced as the new president of the USA.
-Never congratulated Hillary for winning.
-Talking about how HIS voters have to be heard and their demands fulfilled.
-And talking about not having DECIDED what he will do now, and that he will 'still' be thinking about his future actions. Implying he has to 'consider' if he'll 'accept' her victory.


How would you feel?

For all your righteous hatred of Obama for his 'treatment' of Hillary (even though he is always gracious to her), he has never trated her as she treats him, and if the roles were reversed you'd be crying for his head and you know it.

Why are you angry about our behavior? Can you truly be honest with yourselves and say that in the reverse situation you'd not be reacting exactly the same?

At least here its only us insulting her, not Obama himself. Clinton has basically spat on his face herself.

1. what color is the coat of self righteousness that you wear?

[DJ13]

5. You're blind, so it doesnt matter

[The Doctor.]

26. Spot on.

They really can't put the shoe on the other foot.

[Colobo]

7. We need to rally around Obama. Accept it.

[Oleladylib]

12. Go right ahead...We'll talk the day after election day.

[sniffa]

No, we won't actually

:hi:

[Ikonoklast]

66. Ouch. That left a mark.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

27. Go McCain right? You won't be around you poor bitter ole dear.

[roguevalley]

42. you will be banned by then

[jgraz]

52. You don't mind if I call you Harriet, do you?

I just feel like I know you...

[jgraz]

8. It's black -- your least favorite color.

[LowerManhattanite]

15. Damn! Somebody just got knocked the f*ck out! :) n/t

[Oleladylib]

16. naw...my least favorite color is white..sorry, you just can't get that right.

I've never been racist..but been sexist for a long time...

[DainBramaged]

77. No class, ass

[americanstranger]

11. What color is uncontrolled bitterness?

Never mind. You keep it to yourself.

- as

[earthside]

13. What color is your coat?

[jgraz]

18. Well, it's more like a cloak

And two little eyeholes in the hood.

[cui bono]

17. What? Where the hell did you gt self-righteousness out of that OP?

Really.... I really want to know what in the OP makes you respond like that.

[Oleladylib]

25. easy enough...take somebody's words and interpret the meaning the way one wants.

that's pretty s.r.

41. No way. Even Hillary's not dumb enough to pay for her crap.

Go ahead, OleLady -- call Obama "uppity" again.

[K Gardner]

2. I don't give a crap about the dead-enders left here now. They can go vote McCain or stay home.

[roguevalley]

45. they remind me of dust bunnies under the bed, ghosts lurching

around in an empty house, rattling their chains without anyone to care and be worried. sad, deadenders.

[RoadRage]

3. **** Crickets **** ??

[americanstranger]

4. Very well said.

Recommended. Thank you.

- as

[papau]

6. Sorry - but the lack of class shown by some Obama supporters has no excuse

[Colobo]

10. We need to unite.

[jgraz]

14. So go vote for McCain. Seriously.

[cui bono]

21. You will never be happy. Why do you even post on this board?

You're the kind of Hilary supporter people are talking about all the time.

And you need to build up your self-esteem if you allow anonymous internet posts to get your panties in such a wad.

And you support someone who... well you know, I'm not going to say it, you know what she's done. What does that say about you?

[Forkboy]

23. Tell us the death camp story again, Uncle Papau.

Sorry, your right to talk about class is long gone. Save it for the rubes.

[jgraz]

46. Wha??? I missed that one.

[sniffa]

29. Bye

:hi:

[The Doctor.]

40. You want classy responses to her bullshit?

Yeah, act like a shithead and then chastise people for not responding to it with class... that works.

[roguevalley]

49. pot, meet kettle.

[Hugabear]

58. After MONTHS of you people continually TRASHING Obama?

We voice our frustration over your candidate's refusal to deal with reality, and you consider THAT to be a lack of class?

[Yotun]

70. Okay then, tell me how you'd response in the reverse situation I described!

Stop 'announcing' facts. Argue with me.

[Spider Jerusalem]

72. The lack of class shown by your candidate has no excuse.

[SeattleGirl]

85. The same could be said about some Clintonn supporters.

I mean, really. There are people on both sides who think they are always always right, and that the other side is always always wrong, and always always nasty.

There are SOME folks on both sides who fit that, but not the majority of them.

[LowerManhattanite]

9. Very well said. n/t

[rodeodance]

not angry, just disgusted, your post is rude and uncalled for.

[cui bono]

34. I think even if Hillary won the nom you'd find something to be bitter about.

[jgraz]

44. But I wonder what event would make him type in some message text?

Probably nothing.

[LowerManhattanite]

57. And here's said person's multiple choice bitter answers...

A.) Rude!

B.) Shame on you!

C.) Stick to the O.P.!

D.) Drudge said it, so it's all good.

[roguevalley]

53. unlike dozens and dozens of yours ...

[L0oniX]

69. Jeeze ...I thought you were banned ..they let you back in here? n/t

[Yotun]

71. How was I rude in any way?!?!?!?

[SeattleGirl]

86. How is it rude?

I think the questions are quite reasonable.

But I won't be holding my breath for an answer.

[zulchzulu]

19. She's roadkill in the rear view mirror at this point for me

I don't care what she does the rest of her life. She is a traitor, a classless reptile and a divisive egomaniac.

Good riddance, Hillary...and Bill. My middle finger salutes you.

[BeyondGeography]

20. She did give him pat on the head though

and she even deigned to mention us, his supporters.

(Nice post; she laid an egg tonight.)

[MonkeyFunk]

22. And Obama fans should listen to what he had to say

about her tonight.

[The Doctor.]

33. Right... and pretend she said something classy... that'll fix everything.

:eyes:

[cui bono]

36. More importantly, Hillary worshippers should listen to it. n/t

[roguevalley]

56. he was good to her, too good

[stillcool]

63. and not what Hillary says about him..

nice way to unite the party...refuse to acknowledge the nominee.

[Yotun]

73. So should we not react to what SHE is saying when forming opinions of her, but to what Obama says?!?

Why don't you just answer the question? Leave the partisanship aside for a second, and imagine the reverse situation for example, where she has just won, and Obama does not recognise her, talks about HIS supporters having to have their wishes fulfilled, and having to 'decide' about how he will act now- as if accepting the result is an OPTION!

[dsc]

24. No I would not

I didn't call for Kennedy's head when he refused to conceed to Carter even after the convention. I didn't call for Hart's head when he refused to conceed to Mondale until the convention.

[janet118]

65. Maybe you should have . . .

They both lost the general. Lesson: Prolonged intra-party fights weaken the nominee.

[Yotun]

75. Okay,

Thank you for being the only person who actually answered the original question.

I respect your opinion, though I disagree and feel candidates should accept defeat- and that the supporters of the winner are justified in being angry at the one who lost when they act like this.

[azmouse]

28. I'm done with her.

Good riddance to HRC.

[Oleladylib]

31. we're okay with that.

[TK421]

30. Consider this scenario...I puke in a bucket, look at and examine it..and deem it worthy of

a post here.....

Just...imagine that

[Triana]

32. If the sitch was reversed, there'd be HELL to pay. n/t

[JFN1]

35. My bet? Clinton is still counting on the 'Kennedy scenario'

She's a reeeaaal patriot, that one...

[Marrah_G]

37. I see the bigger picture

Yes the reaction here tonight was way over the top. People need to stop and think instead of lashing out instantly.

[cui bono]

Exactly right. It's really sad. But they're obviously not very far along in their grief.

They'll come around. Once they allow the truth to sink in.

[CaptJasHook]

39. Pleeeeeease. "Fuck Hillary", "pour water on the witch", "I fucking hate her"

Completely over the top. And it buys into exactly what even the most moderate Hillary supporters have been complaining about.

Maybe not you Yotun, but some of these amateurs need to grow the hell up. It is shocking how ungraceful some of these people are being. I have to agree with one poster who said that Obama would be ashamed of us.

[jgraz]

43. I think we could certainly cut out the sexist references.

But otherwise, she's reaping what she's sowed. No two ways about it.

[HeraldSquare212]

47. Face it, any other candidate would have dropped out once it became clear they couldn't win.

Hillary, instead, has spent her time spinning more and more fantastical excuses for staying in.

[dsc]

60. Kennedy, Hart, Brown, Reagan,

I remember it well all of them dropped out when they lost. No wait, they didn't.

[apocalypsehow]

48. They have absolutely *NO* right to be upset - they've flung most of the shit.

The description of but one small incident will suffice:

One of the more well-known HRC boosters here posted a blatant lie about me in one of her posts. I posted irrefutable proof that her claim was untrue, five different times. She ignored this, and continued to blithely post the same falsehood. I put her on *ignore*.

Now, I belong to another board, a strictly pro-Obama board, and several members there, who have my "real world" e-mail address, lurk at DU because they enjoy the latest breaking news, the pro-Obama posts, etc. One of them e-mails me the other night and tells me claims - untrue claims - are being made about me by my *ignored* poster in a thread I was participating in.

This person e-mailed me the gist of these claims, to wit, that I had received a "mod warning" for posting to her, and was only pretending to have her on *ignore*, was a "sick fuck" and was "stalking" her. Every single bit of which was untrue - and, what's further, the poster in question had to know that her claims were untrue. She just didn't care: there was a debate to "win" on the internet, you see ( ).

Had that kind person at the other board I frequent not known both my "real world" e-mail address and DU identity, and had she not just *happened* to be lurking at DU, specifically GD: P, these claims would have stood un-refuted, and hundreds of DU'ers and outside lurkers would right now believe a patent falsehood about me (several falsehoods, in fact).*

That small tale sums up the tactics of the overall HRC campaign writ large, and it really turns decent people off.

(*edited repost)

[ericgtr]

50. She can go to hell

[Melancholic Toaster]

51. Man

I remember when all the candidate selection just started. I remember thinking that no matter who won, we were all damned lucky. We had a stable of good democrats to choose from.

Although I supported Hillary first, I feel happy that Obama won. I'm glad my candidate lost to someone I would be behind if she hadn't been in the running. That's just the truth of it. How could any of us be so upset when our second choices were so good? Not that I don't find Hillary Clinton's actions tonight shameful, but I can kind of understand, considering she has almost no chance to ever be pres now.

Anyway, I'll be happy to vote for Obama. You all should be. Even Republicans don't want McCain in. All the mad people need a rant thread or something to go to and work it out.

[cboy4]

54. So much typing, so little to agree with.

:thumbsdown:

[Yotun]

82. Then explain why... I hate how some people display no critical thinking but just blindly follow

their own preconceptions...

[AlCzervik]

55. so are you asking people to censor themselves?

[Catherina]

59. There are supporters and then there are "supporters"

We fail if we don't differentiate between passionate sincere supporters and Operation Chaos freaks.

Both Obama and Clinton are big boys and this was a fight. So she hit below the belt a few times, big deal, the Presidency is one of those to-the-death gladiator matches. I don't like it and I'm as livid as any other Obama supporter but in a game (politics) where all's fair, who are we to blame Hillary for using every weapon in her arsenal?

I loathe her politically but I don't think she ran her campaign that much differently than many other politicians. We're just more aware of things because of the internet and Hillary failed to adapt to that. Bill's sorry outbursts are a different story and he should be ashamed. If it hadn't been for him (thankfully), I think Hillary would be the one receiving the nomination tonight.

Just my 2 cents as a firm, passionate Obama supporter.

[bridgit]

61. "partisanship"? It's the ass-holiness that needs to be left at the door...

But it ain't gonna happen :rofl:

[goletian]

62. most of the remaining hillary supporters are the ones that say theyd vote mccain if hillary loses.

this defies all logic. of course they cant consider your scenario... theyre so consumed by their love of the candidate, not what she stands for, that they see it appropriate to vote for the opposite party, against their own interests out of spite. completely driven by irrational emotions. its pathetic. lol.

[bridgit]

64. lol. that's dumb.

[CaptJasHook]

67. That's not true. Many of the virulent posters appear on GD/P, but plenty just

cruise the board without posting. Several came out today, very visibly, in support of Obama.

[Marrah_G]

68. That is bullshit frankly

Most Hillary supporters here have said repeatedly they will support the nominee.

I am one of them.

[beachmom]

74. She needs to concede. Then we'll be nice. Common DECENCY is that you concede when you've LOST.

[FrenchieCat]

76. When will Hillary slam McCain? After November?

[Lilith Velkor]

78. I would feel eager to vote Clinton/Obama in November if that were the case.

Please stop chugging the Haterade, it's not doing you or anybody any good.

[slinkerwink]

79. exactly. She wasn't gracious at all tonight.

[ladjf]

80. It was a total "shaft job".

[ladjf]

81. Shaft job.

[Rene]

83. Great Speech Hillary....Fight On....take it to Denver.

obama's speech was so lame as usually. cannot understand his sheeple one iota.....

Hillary's the one that can do the job.

[ShortnFiery]

84. Nobody MAKES you behave a certain way. I'd suggest HRC supporters grow up? n/t

[CTLawGuy]

87. Agree 100%

and they would have blamed his behavior on some innate sexism he allegedly had.

[JVS]

88. You speak the truth.
