Dean comes in third and there are still Dean "bash threads"...???

[cthrumatrix]

Are you that afraid of Dean..?

If Kerry came in third ...the last I would be doing is starting a "bash Kerry thread".

I'm wondering who in the heck is on these boards...let alone who voted tonight.

1. Kerry's campaign was in the trash--there were still Kerry bash threads

If people want to stir up another candidate's supporters, they will. Relative position has little to do with it, it seems. Anyway, Dean still has considerable advantages over Kerry in terms of $$, organization, etc.

2. but of course

There's nothing people like seeing more than a long-standing frontrunner taking a fall.

5. Bingo--same thing happened early with Kerry (nt)

3. Dean's supporter post is the only one with deletes on it

ANd I have seen at least one other post saying that DU is too anti-dean... it got deleted within seconds.

4. The same people who watch NASCAR races for the wrecks.

Same idiotic mindset... :shrug:

6. Huh?

I'm seeing far more threads from Dean supporters than Dean "bashers".

8. i see several that seem to relish....

7. Some of the most supportive posts I've seen this evening about Dean

are from non-Dean supporters.

"who in the heck is on these boards...let alone who voted tonight."

Ah, yes, question the American voters. Just because you don't agree with the results in Iowa doesn't mean that the 70% of Iowans that voted for Kerry and Edwards are wrong....

9. are you surprised?

I am not.

10. I totally agree. I would NEVER trash another candidate in these

circumstances.

11. You know the answer..

Dean has dared to speak the truth about the Dem Party's sell-out and the pro-war cave-in of the other candidates.

The establishment has made it their mssion to stop him--because he is the only candiate who offers even a chance of real change in this country.

12. Thing That Kills Me Is That

everything that Dean is saying was considered gospel a year ago on DU. Not just the message, the tone. The party establishment and the attitude of compromise and soft-pedaling were anathema.

Dean has been successfully smeared with the active help of his fellow Democrats. We're back to the 2002 elections.

13. Great point Cthrumatrix***I think some people are so afraid of truth.

And being authentic. Many seem more comfortable with safe, easy, luke warm, blendable, steamrollable, malleable, moldable, functional, compliant, and safe.

Problem is, to play it safe at this time in the world is the least safe choice to make.
