Our Lexus/Limousine Liberals for Obama. Who will be told they are idiots next?

[Neshanic]

Joe Wilson. Just a hack. Larry Flynt. Pornographer. Bill Clinton. Total failure. Feel free to add more to your little Mikado list.

The list never ends for you does it? Up comes a name, people who have given their careers and taken huge risks for us as Democrats, only to be the victims of the slash and burn of this parade of the not worthy. Does it occur to you that the fact you have the high profile support you do, makes you not a rebel , but just another "elite".

The crimes of not supporting Obama are huge. Your past is discredited no matter what. Your present is scrutinized to show trial your failings for not submitting. Your future? well that's the worst. You are no service to the cause. You are not to be trusted. You did not load into that limousine fast enough. You dream the big dreams with your master builder, that has no blueprints. You slavishly parrot his words, even his Readers Digest platitudes.

You are the elites. You are the ones that are exclusionary because no one fits or can measure up to a statue of your own construction. That report about Hillary and Bill and that sick girl who died; they just did what they do, because they are truly caring people, but in the Cultural Revolution of the Obama supporters, that means nothing and is to be despised, thrown on the monster bonfire chanting the mantra of "EVERYTHING MUST GO".

The Lexus/Limousine is not big enough for all of you, so therefore like people, promises will be ejected. Then you will ask where was the love, the care, and how you gave your all. But the way things are going you will not get any sympathy from some of your fellow Democrats as you were the ones burning down the house, then asking if you can crash on the couch.

Building a campaign on dreams is a good thing, but claiming victory while you stand on the wreckage and debris of the building that housed you for so long, along with shoving it's occupants out the door before you dismantled it is disgusting.

1. sorry, not following the rant...

?

[JPZenger]

36. I have trouble diagraming your logic

[ShortnFiery]

2. Flamebait

:popcorn:

[Neshanic]

5. Nice try.

[Hepburn]

3. Ummmmm.....I have seen two Clinton stickers...

...both on the ass ends of brand-new, mega expensive LEXUS SUV's.

[LanternWaste]

57. I saw one on a beat up Volkswagen Bug-- probably a '70 or a '71.

I saw one on a beat up Volkswagen Bug-- probably a '70 or a '71.

Since we're all trading anecdotal evidence and stuff...

[xmas74]

62. I have a Hillary sticker

on my 96 Chevy.

Sounds like a big range there.

[oasis]

4. Bravo. K&R

[blm]

6. The crimes of those who protected BushInc for years are HUGE.

Ever stop to think MANY of us have been disgusted for a long time now about that constant protection of BushInc at the expense of our party and our nation?

Sick of it...

16. You are not getting a clean slate with Obama either. You do the best you can.

Did Obama just appear one day? Is he that pure? No and nobody is, but if you are going to demand total purity, we are all in trouble. Obama I am sure is a good and caring person, but so is Hillary.

[blm]

25. PROTECTING BushInc throughout the 90s was TRAITOROUS to our nation AND party.

I hardly think ANYTHING Obama has in his past comes anywhere CLOSE to the constant protecting of Poppy Bush and his cronies like Jackson Stephens.

That protection led directly to the the return of Bush2, 9-11, Iraq war and soon to be war with Iran.

[Neshanic]

30. The Mikado little list of crimes. Point proven.

[blm]

32. Truth proven - read the National Security Archives and BCCI report yourself.

.

[Neshanic]

51. Perfection cannot be denied. Obama's purity is absolute.

Just list all the crimes that all Democrats have committed. Except of course Obama, who we know to be perfection.

That's your point.

[blm]

52. No. But Obama does advocate open government and being perfect has ZERO to do with

any debate. There is no such thing.

[mopinko]

26. blm, remind me never to piss you off.

i mean that in a good way.

[blm]

28. ;)

Just trying to force a sense of proportion on some Democrats who desperately need one.

[bunnies]

7. I want my Lexus now please.

Getting pretty sick of this 12 year old dodge.

[ShortnFiery]

11. Yes, and my 1995 Honda just cost me a "large chunk of change" via 150,000 mileage check. :(

:crazy:

[bunnies]

15. I feel your pain. Mines 250k+ miles...

and the struts just went!! But now that I know my new Lexus is coming I wont bother to try to scrape up the grand to get it the old bugger fixed. :woohoo:

[ShortnFiery]

47. Wow! 250,000 miles is impressive :-)

And here I thought we were the only family who really embrace that *adoption* concept, whether it be Pet K9s or Purchasing a New Vehicle. In other words, our pets and autos are part of the family "for the duration." :-)

Have a good one & hope you keep your ole' buggy healthy. :hi:

[alteredstate]

55. I recently told someone

that getting rid of my old car would be like putting my dog to sleep. I know exactly how you feel!

[babylonsister]

8. Bitter much? We 'get' who you support, but don't paint all of

Obama's supporters with such a broad brush just because you don't like him.

[Hepburn]

12. Ya think I can disguise my 7 year old Honda CRV to look like a new Lexus?

Just wondering....:hi:

[babylonsister]

19. I beat ya with my 15 year old Toyota!

:hi: And it only has about 55,000 miles on it; can't bear to have to pay off another bill, but it is a sad looking little car. :evilgrin:

[Hepburn]

39. Wow...very few miles on your Toyota!

My Honda is real low milage, too, but it does look almost like it is brand new thanks to a pal of mine who has had it lovingly hand washed each week and detailed and waxed as needed. However, it is still a lowly Honda CRV and NOT one of those expensive, new Lexus SUVs like the ones I have seen with Hillary bumper stickers. I am wondering where those women are who they talk about who are the wealthy Obama supporters. My pals and I are nice retired old ladies and none of us are wealthy by a long shot...but we all favor Obama over Hillary.

[alteredstate]

40. You oughta be able to get another 5-10 years out of that car!

:)

[babylonsister]

46. I probably will have it that long!

One day, I really will need a paint job. The TX sun has not been kind to that car-it's peeling! :D

[jakem]

50. you are your new fangled cars. showing off!

30 year old Mercedes 240D baby!

[tabatha]

9. So everyone has to agree with everything that is written

by people with "names", I have seen others not associated with DU make some valid points against what Wilson, Flynt and others have written - based on the content of their articles. Many even went so far as to say that they loved WIlson, but he got it wrong this time.

What you are suggesting is that because of people's "names", that everything they write should be just accepted.

I have often seen Obama supporters disagree with unfair criticism of Hillary.

[Political Heretic]

10. Goes both ways. Just as much of this from the Clinton camp.

Yawn. What else is new?

[mkultra]

13. stop the message board violence

[Mz Pip]

14. The over-the -top

rantings of a few do not reflect the beliefs of all Obama supporters.

Keep trying to paint us all with a broad brush. It's a weak argument.

So now we're all elites. :eyes: Another flamebait post couched in hyperbole demonizing the Obama supporters.

Can I have my Lexus now?

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Tarc]

17. Couldn't agree more

And hardly surprising that we're seen some of the common Obamaniacs around here to naysay it.

The savaging of Joe Wilson was particularly vile, as these little iPod kool-aid sippers can't hold a candle to what he and his wife have done to combat the Bush machine.

[griffi94]

18. excellent

well said...and the sad part is it's true....i've said in other posts that the supporters of the obama wave reminds me of the bushbots in 2001.....their attitude seems to be...give us uncritical love and support...don't ask any questions don't expect any answers....hope change and blind faith seem to be the order of the day....and if you don't fall in lockstep...slash and burn....old allies with years in the trenches are called vile names and personal attacks are the norm....somewhere along the way they seem to have started believing that we all owe obama something...that's just how the bushbots started...i will not turn myself into a bot for anybody....i detest the way the rw and especially the bushbots have shouted down any voice that dared disagree with them....i will not become one of the walking drones just so i can say we won....

[Adelante]

20. I don't have a car

What does that make me? :shrug:

[Neshanic]

34. You can always dream. Obama may provide one for you.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

21. you forgot Larry Johnson

[Neshanic]

31. "I have a little list"

[ileus]

22. Uh.....go Clinton??? or Obama???.....

[ElsewheresDaughter]

23. and you forgot John Edwards

[alteredstate]

24. Subaru with 200,000 miles liberal

That's what I am.

[blm]

27. heh - same here.

.

[calmblueocean]

29. Joe Wilson lied in his HuffPo editorial. Doesn't mean I think Bush was right to out his wife.

I documented some of his lies here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4580656&mesg_id=4581341

They are blatant, and easily refutable, as is the notion that no one knew Bush was spoiling for war in Iraq when the AUMF was voted on.

I still think Bush admin unfairly and criminally outed his wife as an act of vengeance for his NYT editorial, but you don't get a pass to lie, no matter who you are.

[mopinko]

33. welcome to democracy. people are still pissed off about the last

municipal election where i live. in fact, there are some people who will probably never speak to each other again around here.
it is a contest. there are winners, losers, hard feelings. especially for those who aren't grown up enough to accept a loss. so, should we all go home then?
crybaby flamebait. check in with mark penn and get todays word, will ya. that is more fun.

i have an suv- well, i have a 15 year olds chevy with 300,000 miles on it. does that have something to do with it?

[Connie_Corleone]

35. 1998 Toyota Corolla here. Still in good condition.

Last time I checked, Larry Flynt IS a pornographer.

Joe Wilson has become a hack for Hillary by spewing lies about Obama.

He can support Hillary without sacrificing his character.

Bill Clinton wasn't a failure, better than Bush, but he's not running for president this time.

[Tatiana]

37. This post is highly discriminatory!

What about the Volvos?

:shrug:

[Viking12]

45. ..or minivans?

[ThatPoetGuy]

38. Krugman is evil, right? He must be.

And labor unions are just special-interest groups. When they advertise their stances, they're being evil -- no matter how polite those ads are.

NOW is no good. Universal health care is a bad idea. It's totally OK to mock a female politician as "a witch." Nothing sexist about that.

Emily's List is a monstrous organization. Trial lawyers are scum -- how dare they spend years building cases against major corporations on behalf of poor people?

/sarcasm.

I decided to support Obama. It was because of his record. It was in spite of all the disgusting things he and his supporters have done in this campaign.

[apnu]

41. 'slash and burn' is the way of the 'Net my friend

Take a step back from the keyboard and relax a bit. You're a little too close to the fire right now.

Chat warriors (us here at DU, and the Freepers for example) can hide behind our aliased names and keyboards and call whatever we want with out fear of much reprisal.

This emboldens people to 'slash and burn' discussions and flame wars. I see it here all the time. Usually DU is highly irrational about the current political landscape in the world, and this forum gives us a place to rant a bit and get it all out.

But you can't take the vitriol here (for or against Obama or Clinton, and against Bushco) personally. If you do so, you're going to risk your sanity on the insane.

Please don't do that, we need your energy and drive to throw the beltway bums out (DINOs included).

Having said all that, you are right about an elitist streak here at DU. Its an ugly image that's been painted on us liberals and progressives by the spiteful right that we are all too happy to reflect for them. That needs to stop. That, also, is the reason why 2000 and 2004 were such close elections. The public perception of Gore and Kerry was out-of-touch (Gore) or snobbish (Kerry). Besides the coming battle over racism or sexism (depending on the winner), this elitist caricature will be our greatest problem.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

42. hmmmm.... stereotype much?

Good lord, that's talking points 1-4 off the a.m. TX handout at HC headquarters in Houston. Who's the parrot?

[Neshanic]

48. I have never been to Houston, and Parrots scare me.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

59. me, too...on both, but especially the parrots.

[smoogatz]

43. I drive a Subaru.

Is that sufficiently declassé? Or does it have to be a pickup truck to count? Jesus. The stench of flop-sweat is getting thick around here.

[ProgressIn2008]

44. I saw Erica Jong get the treatment today.

[DS1]

49. I drive a decade old banged up rust bucket

bite me

[Sulawesi]

53. The simple answer to your question is ... YOU!

[zulchzulu]

54. How did Hillary have an extra $5 million to add to her flailing campaign?

You can try to downplay the voters who cross all demographic descriptions and all walks of life in an effort to try to trash their judgement that they are sick and tired of the Same Old Dynasty Solution, but you just look like a sore loser.

As for Joe Wilson, he's a good man. It was odd that he was looking for Obama when Obama was speaking out (like millions of us) against the war. Was he blind? As for Larry Flynt, the man has been running on delusion for many years and to give him any level of credibility (making movies with gang rape, producing porn like Barely Legal, ties to DeLorean and Charles Keating and suffers from bi-polar disorder) is revealing of desperation. Bill Clinton lying about Obama and clinically a lying psychopath who tries to overshadow his wife's candidacy (who he publically cheated on) was integral in making Hillary's campaign be what it is now.

Otherwise, your post is just plain odd. It's like you're murmering to yourself disjointed thoughts like a madman at a bus stop.

[endarkenment]

56. Our Lexus/Limousine Liberals for Obama

My 97 subarau outback has 188,000 miles on it. I have two kids in college and another getting ready to go. My wife and I work all the time to make ends meet. I support Mr. Obama. Fuck off, alright?

[LSK]

58. so basically people are not allowed to disagree or criticize in a primary???

[Greyskye]

60. CAR WARS

Now I've seen everything. :eyes:

[kevsand]

61. Never thought I'd see Joe Wilson, Larry Flynt, and Bill Clinton given equal weight in one paragraph.

I'm just sayin'.
