Hang in there, MaggieD ... we love you! <3

[redstateblues]

1. For sure

[Thinkingabout]

2. Yes, they can't keep a good person down.

[Cha]

3. Dang it! Censored again by the Majority.. not breaking any TOS.. this is why DU needs an

overall. Too many of my friends are gone.. not because they broke the rules but because they had the temerity to speak out.. and guess who didn't like it?

Mahalo Jackie for making a thread for Maggie!

[Iris]

7. not very democratic.

Sigh....

[Iliyah]

16. Democracy for "we" not for thee who makes factual opposition

for a healthy discussion . . . .

[JohnnyLib2]

4. For sure. Her powerful posts are missed.

[SunSeeker]

5. If you are a Clinton supporter you get attacked on DU.

The ugliness will only get worse as Sanders continues to falter.

Stay strong, MaggieD.

[kstewart33]

6. Maggie could use some help, no?

Last night, they were swarming Maggie like bees on an orchid. Let's help her out!

[BlueCaliDem]

8. Stay strong, MaggieD! We love you and hope you return SOON.

[Surya Gayatri]

9. You stay strong gurrl! Happy Int'l Women's Day!

[Loki]

10. How did we ever let it get this bad?

I intensely dislike the BB's rude, brutish behavior? Sounds more like Trump supporters and maybe they are. MaggieD stay strong, there are may people who will be here for you.

[pandr32]

20. You are right!

Trump and Bernie supporters are more alike than different. We all need to remember "reason"--now endangered, but prized by our Founding Fathers and built into our governing system.

[Raster]

11. Ban me if you will....MaggieD has been asked to leave DU before...

...for her CAUSTIC AND BELLIGERENT treatment of fellow DU'ers. And evidently she has not changed a bit.

[Cha]

21. Has SKinner asked her? Because he's the boss you know. Not those who don't like her

because she supports Hillary and isn't afraid to speak out about it.. nor speak out about what she doesn't like about sanders.

Maggie has guts.. too bad for those who cannot handle that.

[NurseJackie]

23. I would be surprised if Skinner has not been alerted-on in the past.

Just a guess. Some people are aggressive and brave that way, but I suppose I could be wrong.

[NurseJackie]

29. Gee, how charming! What purpose does SHITTING on an appreciation-thread serve? And ...

... one that's WITHIN the Hillary Group! That's fucked up.

[shenmue]

41. All caps are caustic and belligerent

[William769]

43. People are not askerd to leave DU. What the hell are you talking about?

The way people leave DU is they are banned. Thank heavens for Cha and for that matter MaggieD!

[George II]

12. Sorry state of affairs.

But, Hillary Clinton will still win the Democratic nomination and be elected President.

[MrWendel]

13. Did she get suspended too..

for not "Feeling the Bern"?

[Cha]

24. Yes, pure and simple.

[redstateblues]

14. I was in the middle of backing her up

when the hammer came down. Telling the truth on DU is a risky business

[72DejaVu]

15. The Bernistas seem a little confused

It's Revolution first, purge the party afterwards.

[livetohike]

17. Maggie D! This is beyond pathetic. Sending a hug.

[GusBob]

18. With you MaggieD

dont let the turkeys get you down

[Codeine]

19. Utterly bullshit hide. nt

[sufrommich]

22. Her transparency page is filled with ridiculous hides.

Cheers to Maggie!!

[ismnotwasm]

26. I saw that

Between anti-feminist rhetoric that's gets hundreds of revs and alerts on anything at all, I can't wait for the 15th. Hopefully the air will clear

[ismnotwasm]

25. Yes we do

[Fla Dem]

27. These are the posts they finally brought Maggie D down on today. I was on one of the juries.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.


I've been on a bunch of juries lately and these were tame compared to the Hillary and Hillary supporter smears that were left to stand. It appears to be a concerted effort by the Bernie Bros to target high profile Hillary posters.

[sufrommich]

30. A 7-0 hide for having the wrong opinion.

Plain as day.I'd love to see the jurors excuses for that one,want to bet its filled with "juror chose not to comment"? Skinner would have a hard time denying this one is strictly a hide for being a Hillary supporter.

[Loki]

31. It's like they can't handle all of us who have been on this

board since it came into existence. I've been here since 2001, we have gone through hell and walked back to tell the tale. They don't intimidate me and they won't silence me. They are the Naderites on steroids and they are going to lose. I backed Obama, but I never had this kind of hatred toward Hillary during the 2008 election. I disagreed with her on many things, but I feel that she is absolutely the best candidate we have. I had a long talk with my 23 year old son who was for Bernie when he came out, but has had a chance to really examine what he is saying, and he thinks that they are pie in the sky promises that will never be met. He is my pride and joy and I never tried to influence him, he and I were both for Obama, but he knew I was voting for Hillary this time around. Young people who really think about politics and the results of what elections mean, are beginning to see the truth behind all the promises that will never become reality. Peace

[Fla Dem]

32. Thanks for this post Loki. I hope you're right. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

45. Yes I remember the topic your last two links go to

She argued passionately against the bullshit the Brenistas were spouting but I didn't see anything she said that violated the TOS.

[Gothmog]

28. Hang in there

[asuhornets]

33. We got your back, MaggieD,,,n/t

[yallerdawg]

34. It's just a game to these people.

March 15 we clean house - one way or the other.

[Trust Buster]

35. Why can't an alerter who fails on two votes be disallowed for a period of time in future alerts ?

[iandhr]

36. Can someone enlighten me?

[BlueMTexpat]

37. We love you, Maggie D!

You will be vindicated!

As an aside, the denial factor is not only strong but literally impermeable with some. In one thread (later locked), I was having an exchange with a "Not Hillary" supporter, who stated that Hillary was behind all other candidates.

I responded that she leads ALL candidates in BOTH parties in the popular vote so far in fact and posted this (taken from RCP totals):

Clinton 4,180,853
Trump 3,596,310
Cruz 2,994,245
Sanders 2,659,254

The poster then responded that she was still losing.

MaggieD: we are ALL behind you. Those who cannot stand to have their delusions rebutted by facts really need much more help than we on DU will ever be able to provide.

[Gamecock Lefty]

38. I'm not feeling the Bern either!!!

We're with you, MaggieD!!! Stay strong, don't get BERNED!!!

[Bleacher Creature]

39. Didn't she just get back?

This is absurd!

[Nitram]

40. Don't give up the good fight!

[BainsBane]

42. The irony is that

Every single Clinton support on DU could rack up five hides and be put on time out, and it will have absolutely zero effect on the election. Clinton has 1.5 MILLION more popular votes, and that lead is growing with each primary.

[DemonGoddess]

44. Hang in there!

The hides were bullshit, as we all know.

[UtahLib]

46. We stand with you, MaggieD! Not surprised to see the lenths

to which some people will stoop to silence those who are brave enough to challenge, with facts, the totalitarian point of view.

[BainsBane]

47. Absolutely!

[sheshe2]

48. Love you MaggieD

We have your back!

[great white snark]

49. Your suspension is a testament of your powerful presence.

You are appreciated. Hang in there.
