Damn I'm sick of overly-sensitive Hillary supporters...

..who can't fathom that someone might have a problem with how she and Bill have handled this primary without calling them "women-haters," mysogonists, right-wingers, etc. etc. I'll gladly vote for Hillary if she's the nominee, but I won't forget how stupid and knee-jerk some of her supporters have been.

2. I don't know how we are supposed to take this seriously.
When the Obama crowd uses every RW Clinton smear of the 90s without blushing.

3. unfortunately
my gut (which means its my opinion) is that if she gets the nom, we'll lose in the general.
and no, I have nothing to back that up, its just a general feeling.

Now, having said that, I'm not really all that thrilled with Obama, either.

My state's primary still hasn't happened yet, but by the time it finally does, my two preferred candidates are out of the race before I even got the chance to touch a screen.

4. Oh, me too. Because the Obama crowd hasn't called any Hillary supporters ANY names!
:eyes:

"HILLARY IS A FUCKING LIAR!"

"HILLARY IS A FUCKING BITCH!"

"BUSH HAS MORE HONOR THAN HILLARY!"

NOTHING any Hillary supporter has said even compares to the vile crap the Obama crowd has flung at Hillary. Geezus.

7. Yeah, how rich of them to say Hillary supporters are the worst...
I guess they just want to throw the shit, and expect Hillary supporters not to pick it up, and lob it back at them...

14. I know. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Honestly.
It's so ridiculous. We're expected to just keep our mouths shut while they fling the shit. SORRY! That's not me! I don't take that crap from anyone and if you want to fling shit...you're getting right back. I guess it's the red hair that makes me do it.:7

11. The posts were posted last week. They were deleted by the mods, but the vile remarks were made.
I saw them myself.

12. maybe they were freepers

At any rate, if they were deleted, and it was last week, maybe Hillary supporters should give others the benefit of a doubt and move on.

16. NO. One of them, whose name I remember, has been here forever. The other 2 names,
I don't remember, so can't say.

13. That does cut both ways, though. I've seen plenty of over-sensitive Obama supporters...
accusing Hillary supporters of racism.

15. I have seen oversentive supporters of every single candidate.
And I have seen outrageous threads on every side. Both exists. The only question is to know what you refer to here. There is ONE thread (not a lot, ONE) where some Clinton supporters are making asses of themselves by posting unacceptable articles. They may want to make a point (I doubt they are all racist), but they are propagating racist materials and it should not be accepted on a progressive site.

18. For me, it's the name calling, on both sides.
Say anything you want about their policies or what they've done, but as soon as a childish name is used, I'm over it and out of that thread.

19. I will not forget the Obama supporters who jumped all over the media's faux racial stir up from S.C.
Obama's campaign swallowed the hook on that one!

20. Faux racial?

Are you referring to Bill's comment about Jesse Jackson winning SC? Like SC would elect any black candidate so who cares? You mean that comment?

22. faux means false
perhaps you were meaning to use a different modifier.

:)

the fact is, the clinton campaign had at least 4 different racial comments, from four different people in her campaign. That's not "faux", that's a campaign strategy.

however, its a stupid strategy.

24. thank God you are able to separate supporters from the candidate ... if only so may others could ...
and if only so many could separate facts from media spin ...
