Sign in if you now hate Paul Krugman & Joe Wilson for dissing your candidate. |

Okay, now I've seen everything. Obamania has gone so far into slash and burn mode that O's supporters are willing to sacrifice our heroes for voicing their opinions. I've even seen some trashing of Fitz because of the charges he filed against Rezko (well, not the charges themselves, but the timing of them being filed). And some are calling Bill Clinton a racist. This is more than just jumping the shark. It's crazy. Stop, think, get a grip.

8. Coming from YOU with your filthy attacks on |
|
Ted Kennedy and Caroline and everyone else who's endorsed Obama, that's rank hypocrisy.

2. Not at all. I'm an admirer of both men and I have no problem |
|
with the speaking their minds. Doesn't mean I take either of their opinions as gospel, but I do pay attention to what they have to say.
And please, did you miss the slash and burn of Kennedy, Leahy, Caroline and others by Clintonians here? And no one has called Bill a racist.
If you think this is one sided, you are completely fucking delusional.

14. Likewise. Don't hate the player, hate the game. |

I don't hate anyone lining up behind Hillary. I hate the same old shit from the Clintons that always annoyed me about them. They play this game that the Bushes play so well: constantly contrived victimhood.
I'm sick of them, and many lifelong Democrats are likewise.
I'm not besmirching all the people who line up for Hillary.
I don't try to convince anyone they should vote differently than they want to vote. Especially if they hold a firm opinion for a particular candidate. I want my choice to win, but voting is a personal choice, and each person has absolute right to determine their own.

3. I admire and respect both. It's possible to disagree with their opinions or isn't it? |

7. Yes, and that's my point. |
|
Have you seen the way both are being trashed here?

16. Worse than Kennedy and Kerry have been thrashed here for endorsing Obama. |
|
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 11:53 AM by Mass
(or Leahy, ... or for the matter Clark when he endorsed Hillary). This is not about Obama supporters. It is about immature supporters of all candidates.

4. I will not trash either man. |
|
I have great respect for both. They are both wrong in this case due to their personal biases.

Critical thinking seems to be lacking around here big time.
I like A B like C Therefore I must hate B & C
Geez.

12. No hate, just hoping they understand their monumental irrelevance |
|
as it relates to the process and who actually wins in the end.

13. Are the Kennedy, Shriver, Oprah, et al endorsements irrelevant, too? |
|
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 11:46 AM by LiberalHeart
Or does that work on only one side of the race?

15. Hmmmmmm, let's see, Ted and Caroline Kennedy vs. Paul Krugman |
|
That's a toughy.
The First Lady of California endorsing two days before the primary vs. Joe Wilson's HuffPost screed.
It's almost too difficult to contemplate.

17. I will thrash nobody for endorsing Hillary, and would hope Hillary supporters to do the same for |
|
those who endorse Obama.
Unfortunately, what you are describing here is not limited to supporters of one candidate and has little to do with Obamania, as you call it. It is crazy, but you would be more convincing if you were not limiting your criticism to one side.
