What is PUMA? Another tool to bash Hillary and her supporters?

[question everything]

I tried to ask and got a typical condescending response and still don't know.

3. PUMA stands for Party Unity My Ass. It was apparently started by

some Hillary supporters that cannot/will not accept the outcome of the primaries and do not support Obama for President. Their goal is to get Hillary named as the Democratic nominee at the convention instead of Obama. Rumor has it that RW money and influence is involved, which seems highly likely to me.

Hillary has no connection with this group, but many here are angry that she has not come out to publicly denounce them. Others feel that if she recognizes them at all she lends them legitimacy. You can google it for more info. I won't post a link here.

There are some here on DU who seem to believe that anyone who shows any respect for Senator Clinton or who voices any criticism whatsoever of Senator Obama must be a member of PUMA. There have been many such accusations thrown around in GD-P lately and, yes, it is being used as another tool to bash Hillary and her supporters.

5. Thanks. All of a sudden there are many posts about it

without explanation.

I sometimes wonder: will all the former supporters of Kucinich, or Gravel vote for Obama?

I think that after every primary cycle there will always be voters who are going to sit home because their candidates did not win.

But only with Hillary supporters this appears to be a major crime.

And, except for DU, I doubt that this group has many followers or even gets exposure.
