Clinton partisans waging fierce cyber campaign to derail Obama

WASHINGTON -- A massive e-mail and Internet campaign is under way aimed at derailing the nomination of Barack Obama and making Hillary Clinton the party's standard bearer next week in at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

"It's downright nasty," said Memphis, Tenn., super-delegate and City Council member Myron Lowery, who has shared dozens of the messages he's received with The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal newspaper.

"I think it's divisive for the 'Support Hillary' campaign to continue at this time. She made the decision to fully support Mr. Obama," said Lowery, who initially supported Clinton but later switched his allegiance to Obama. "I don't know why they're not taking their cue from Hillary and falling in line."

But it will blow up in their faces.

Obama will not be bullied.

[Whisp]

10. I kinda think he's looking forward to the bullying.

I remember from early on in the campaign I read that Obama is not quick to anger, he gives people the benefit of the doubt, but if he thinks that people are just pushing to get him angry, then he wallops back hard.

I have every confidence that there is a side to Obama that we have not yet seen. Not an unseamly one, but the fighter one so many want to see.

it will come out. I know it's a long time waiting, but sometimes good things take some patience.

[Cha]

52. Yeah, it's going to be Obama all the way not because

paul krugman or the fascist media told him he better do something.

[billyoc]

3. PUMAgasm

[Cha]

53. Pathetic Unhinged Mccain A$$holes.

blowing their collective wad today.

[1Hippiechick]

70. Let's start a contest to think up new names for PUMA! Permanently Unhinged Manhating Antagonists

[Cha]

76. Yours is

Good!

[Lisa0825]

4. AHA!

No wonder GDP is a mess today!

[DevonRex]

5. OMG. I just don't know what to say to this. I have tried SO

hard to be positive.

[scheming daemons]

6. But remember..... we're just "paranoid"

...and still "reliving the Primary"

[DevonRex]

11. Yes...

Somehow it's always "us."

Why is that, I wonder?

[Skip Intro]

20. And spinning what is all but nothing into the illusion of something

much as the author of the linked "report" did.

All he does is present a couple of isolated examples and try to portray this as a "massive" effort to derail Obama. It is clearly a piece with an agenda.

but please, don't let objectivity rain on the paranoid hate parade.

[scheming daemons]

23. All but nothing? Have you actually read DU, dailyKOS, and other sites today?

[JackORoses]

33. what is the agenda of the "HillymustbeVP or else" threads?

I think that's quite transparent.

[Skip Intro]

54. Oh, the only valid opinions are those that mirror yours? Know what, I PRAY she is the VP pic

just to see a few hate-filled heads explode here

[JackORoses]

67. don't hold your breath

[1Hippiechick]

77. Well, hello, SkipIntro...how's the Hill Crowd these days? n/t

[KAZ]

56. And... out comes the hate word. And it could be in world record time!

7. Wow, there are a lot of PUMAS here, what a drag they would be so manipulative yeeech nt

[butterfly77]

8. The republicons/PUMA's are out in full force today...

on tv,radio and internet..

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. I'm shocked and appalled.

I never ever ever ever ever ever ever would have dreamt up such a thing.

[Cha]

60. I just thought it was business as usual

on DU.. The light at the end of the tunnel is supposedly near.

[Spazito]

12. They sure are "subtle" here today, aren't they!

This, too, will FAIL miserably, poor souls.

OH, and this is one thread I can strongly recommend.

[mkultra]

13. this is the part that sticks out the most

<snip>
Elly Manov of Vero Beach, Fla., a Republican alternate delegate to the St. Paul convention starting Sept. 1, said she's all for a Hillary Clinton floor vote in Denver.

"Any disharmony in the Democratic Party works for us," she said. "There will be a lot of dissatisfied people."
<snip>


This pretty much describes whats been going on here over the past few days. The mods have been sitting their hands.

[Cha]

63. They sure ain't got shit with mccain..poor loose screws need

something to hang on to.

[Egnever]

14. its the last gasp

of a dying breed

[1Hippiechick]

16. OMG, do they need to be categorized as an endangered species? n/t

[Egnever]

42. Soon

we will look back on them fondly sorta like that time you fell on your bike in front of everyone and crushed your nuts but looking back on it it was pretty funny.

[1Hippiechick]

15. Oh, yeah, the usual HRC supporters are in a friggin' frenzy today.

This will get deleted, but it felt good to say it. Jesus H. Christ, I said in an earlier post is looks like it is going to take naming a major hurricane Hillary just to retire her name! :puke: !

[burythehatchet]

17. WHAT? Thread not locked yet??????

But we're all bent over and greased up. Come on Mod, get after it.

[scheming daemons]

19. It's from Scripps-Howard....not some blog somewhere....

[YOY]

61. I know...I'm quite amazed m'self.

n/t

[Peacetrain]

18. Thank you for explaining this! I thought I had entered the

Twilight Zone when I first logged on..

[DevonRex]

22. You and me both! I'm also using the...

ignore feature for the first time since June.

There have been some things that have made me suspicious here lately. Now I know why.

[Peacetrain]

24. Honest to Pete Jen...I did not know what I was

looking at when I first logged on. Just surreal..Yep I think the hide thread option is going to be put into action .

[DevonRex]

27. So, the question is...

How big is this? How worried should we be?

[JackORoses]

36. It really doesn't take that many people to do this with today's technology

250 is all they have ever gotten to show up at a meeting.

[DevonRex]

40. Well then...

I guess that's the good news. The bad news is that with today's technology they can reach a lot more people and make it seem like a movement.

[JackORoses]

49. it's a damned shame

[Peacetrain]

43. Thats true..it only take one screaming fire in a room of 500

to send 499 stampeding to the exits

[madfloridian]

72. Many of us have been trying to talk about this...

and posts keep getting locked. It is not good for this to be going on.

[Skwmom]

21. Oh please, Clinton is not behind the effort. I guess that was her twin that we heard on video

advocating putting her name in nomination.

If they think they are going to say "who me" and blame it on their supporters, and get away with it, they really are stupid.

[MarjorieG]

65. Why then her brother and supporters meeting with McCain camp?

Also feel the polls are to sow discontent.

[JackORoses]

25. why do our Mods let this continue when it is obviously a coordinated effort?

Is there not something in the rules about using this messageboard to launch an organized propaganda campaign?

[scheming daemons]

31. They think no such effort is going on, I guess.....

Despite all evidence to the contrary.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

38. I'll give you three guesses.

The first two don't count.

[JackORoses]

48. does that mean I get to keep guessing infinitely?

they're like horrible gamblers...
"come on, best 2 out of 3"
"no wait, best 3 out of 5"
etc.

[KAZ]

62. Yep.

[AspenRose]

26. Wow.

Amazing.

[flamingdem]

32. There you are! Can you sic the puppies on the Puma posts? nt

[AspenRose]

41. I'm not sure even puppies would help...they may get eaten or something.

:scared:

[flamingdem]

44. How about some soft and cuddly vultures, any of those?

(They might relate better to that kind of creature). Puppies yesterday was great, btw

[AspenRose]

46. .

[flamingdem]

55. !-

ah nice puddy cats

[FunkyLeprechaun]

28. D-E-R-A-I-L

Derail...

I can't help it.

[flamingdem]

30. The threads are so fast and furious it is hard to keep up and the dumb thing is

they are not convincing any of us, certainly not those of us who know that Obama is an excellent candidate.

[Cha]

34. One theory I have on why "they're not taking their

cue and falling in line".. is the rhetoric(lies) hillary used on the campaign trail. Be careful what you say..you just might be made accountable and there might be Blowback.

[corkhead]

35. I thought this was the strictly the Pre VP Post Primary Last Hurrah Poo-Flinging site.

take your newsy type stuff elsewhere.

[Spazito]

39. LOL!

And no posting anti-McCain threads today either, it will ruin the campaign! No, not the Obama campaign, the other one!

:rofl:

[flamingdem]

37. Wow. They are like Pod People, burrowed in to make their final attacks today! nt

[Duncan]

45. Grrrr.

WTF!:banghead: :grr:

[FatDave]

47. Heh. That explains a thing or two. (nt)

[DFLforever]

50. An f-up bunch.

excepting the Repuke operatives driving the action.

[Pacifist Patriot]

51. Have to confess the only thing going on for me today is fending off flood waters.

Taking a break from push brooms and pool towels to reconnect with the world. Plain crash in Madrid, McCain is still a fucking idiot and the Democratic Convention cannot be over fast enough.

[Spazito]

57. I have been watching the news, Pacifist Patriot....

It looks very serious, I hope you and yours are doing okay!

[Cha]

64. I didn't know about "the flood waters" but

good luck with everything that's going on for you there in Florida:pals:

[Kaylee]

58. Thank you....I was wondering what was going on....

All of a sudden the board was infiltrated with "Only Hillary can save us!" and "We should have nominated Hillary!" posts from people I hadn't seen since the Primary Wars.

[DevonRex]

59. Not to mention the "Obama needs...

Hillary" posts. And the "Obama is an idiot" posts. Pretty tiresome.

68. Mmmm...ignore list good.

I'm missing it all.

[scheming daemons]

69. Kick for the evening crowd

[1Hippiechick]

71. Obama is not stupid. I hate to sound like one of those idiotic ppl who say "I know something" but I

do! And on good authority from someone who is going to be in Denver POSING as a PUMA. HRC is not going to walk out with the nomination. Put that in the bank.

[scheming daemons]

73. You know someone who is going to be pretending to be pretending to be a Hillary supporter?

Wow.... that's deep cover.

[1Hippiechick]

74. No. Person is going to be pretending to be a PUMA/Hillary supporter. That's all I can say. And,

Barack is not stupid.

[bevoette]

75. holy shit

:wow:

[bridgit]

78. What's been going on these last *several previous days & running* is Obama supporters...

doing exactly what they said they would do all along...blame anybody and everybody if in the event Barack's numbers ever went flat-line, or it looked like he ever had to break a sweat. They established well in advance that that evil would be B. or H. or C. Clinton, or any and all permutations thereof or beyond if need be. That time is now. Thus predictably, the blame game is engaged in dire earnest.

But that won't even win a plastic pinwheel at the fair. Excuses are for losers. Sadly, the excuses have all been telegraphed. They've been intercepted...by the opposition. The Real Opposition.

It's time to get busier...

[bushisanidiot]

79. Sorry, but I believe the only Hillary supporters who are trying to derail Obama are Rush's people.

He will have them at the convention, soley to distrupt. That is why I'm glad that Hillary herself organized a team to squash them when they show their low-life asses on the DNC floor. The roll call will be telling. Will Rush's assholes have the guts to do what they were sent there to do, or will they cower and snicker in a corner like the majority of republicans would? I say all cameras should be on the disruptors and their names should be broadcast and investigated. If they are from Rush's camp, then Rush and the disruptors should be prosecuted!
