GREAT point from Nora Odonell. "They don't HAVE to love him,
they just have to vote for him!"

She was responding to nutso Buchannan who was saying Hillary can't transfer the love her followers have for her to Barack!

That's one of the first things I've ever heard that woman say that really made sense! I think a lot of DUers have fallen into that feeling of "Why doesn't EVERYBODY love Barack like I do?" I think we all need to adopt the rational that Nora just promoted.

1. That's all we want is their vote. If they come to like and admire Obama (as some have)
then that's great too.

3. Exactly. I was so glad to see her slap down Pat Buchanan's silly argument.

26. I've rarely seen such hatred
for Obama on here, but I guess the "I'll still vote for him" is the mitigator that allows her to spew the venom without being banned.

8. "..and his like"
What pray tell is his "like"?

Rather curious phrase don't ya think?

I know you don't mean what some people might think you mean.

Words dripping with egotistical cynicism ....

It is obvious that when it comes to you, it is YOU that matters ....

FUCK everybody else: ALL we should care about is what YOU get ....

Hell with it: I'm selling my kids clothes, and sending the money to you ....

They don't matter .... YOU do ....

That's not bravery, that's disgusting freepish behavior.

30. You must define the word bravery much different than I do.
That post sounded as though it may have been written by someone who hides under a bedsheet.

If you get my meaning.......

32. Brave because she'll probably get banned for saying it.
Dissension is suppressed.

17. I for one find your venom a bit unnerving, what has he done to deserve such blind hatred..I
would really like to know? I have grown to admire the man, admire his dedication, he was by far not my first choice but I am completely behind him and not only because he is the nominee, I gave him a chance, I don't belive you have...and thats kind of weird considering you want change?

15. Yep, you nailed it. You don't have to love Obama to vote for him. HOWEVER, as a Michelle hater
during the primaries may I just say how much I fucking love her now. I swear, I won't stand for anyone talking shit about her from now on!

16. And that is what is wrong with our election system. You should be able to vote
for someone or a party you really love.

Still, for this particular election she is right.

Hillary had some repairing to do and she did it..don't start trying to tell us what we think.

Nicely done to demolish Pat's latest RW bs.

34. Yes, and what's with Pat? He's always been a bit of a nut, but lately
he's really gone off the deep end! Several times, I really thought Rachel was going to deck him...literally and physically! Geesh, they sit beside one another, and tonight it was really close!

28. PBS was great!
I like ACTUAL campaign coverage. Not amateur hour.

MSNBC C- Because you have just a couple fair minded journalists attempting to provide good coverage in a mismanaged environment.

CNN F WTF?

FAUX F-------- You fail at life in so many ways.

CBS D- Actually not that horrible so far. Is that a compliment?

NBC G WTF you got worse than CNN and FAUX?

ABC Banned from commentary for entire 2008 campaign year owing to primary debate FUCK UP. Ya, screw you. See ya in 2009 if you fix it.

36. I agree. PBS so far has the best coverage of all the networks.

Even though David Brooks is on, Mark Shields keeps him in check.

When Mark Halperin is on at the end for his criticism, the panel keeped him in-line as well.

38. Ya, very solid coverage....
I view David Brooks as a healthy alternative to Pat Buchanon over on MSNBC. Plus I get to watch to the speeches. :-)

33. Gee that is the line some of us have been saying
also we have been telling you guys EARN THOSE VOTES, and stop threatening people.

Now that a media figure said it, you get it?
