I had to unregister from the John Kerry website

[moobu2]

I got am unsolicited Email from Obama with the JohnKerry.com. I dumped it in the trash with all the other porno scam crap I get, and got another spam from them soon after, then another. I guess JK gave Barrack Hussien Obama my email address as well as anyone else who joined JK.com in 04.

3. Are Clinton emails in line with all the porno scam crap as well

or are you just a poet?

[yardwork]

4. Your nasty comments are unwelcome.

If you don't want to get email from politicians, don't sign up for email from politicians. Both John Kerry and Barack Obama are Democrats. Kerry has endorsed Obama. If you can't bring yourself to simply delete emails you don't care to read, at least have the courtesy to keep your nasty thoughts ("dumped it in the trash with all the other porno scam crap I get...") to yourself.

6. Here's your sign

[Hepburn]

7. Take your race baiting crap elsewhere. Comments like this do NOT...

...belong on DU.

:puke:

[acmavm]

42. Race baiting? How is that?

[onehandle]

8. I unregistered when he wouldn't back Edwards. But I wasn't a Dick about it. nt

9. I Don't See How Obama Has Anything To Do With Your Porn

:shrug:

[yardwork]

12. Best. Response. In. This. Thread.

[bunnies]

10. Bill Cunningham? Is that you? nt

[cali]

And did you take a good shit this morning?

Nobody gives a rat's ass about your porno reading habits or who you get email from- or any other of your questionable personal habits.

[LittleClarkie]

11. I've been registered with Kerry for a while. I only ever got one from Obama.

Why do you use Obama's middle name? It's not as if he goes by it.

Seems like an odd thing for a progressive to do.

[Jersey Devil]

13. One or two is all I got for Obama from Kerry

and one from Ted Kennedy. Big deal!

14. Yes. He did give Obama his contact list. You can unsubscribe at the bottom of the email if

you have any more trouble.

[karynnj]

31. No he didn't per his staff person who posted here in January

He sent his own letter out and HE sent ONE Obama letter out - note Kerry sent both letters. (I could use search to find it if you are really concerned.)

[dwahzon]

32. No

he didn't give his mailing list to anyone. Per a http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4051153&mesg_id=4051451">Kerry staffer earlier this year:

Turning over someone's private information to outside parties without consent is unacceptable. That's why we have never sold, rented, loaned, or otherwise given access to the information in our database to anyone else, and never will.

On infrequent occasions we have permitted someone to provide us with the text content for a special mailing and we have sent it out to our email list over their signature -- as we did with this last email from Senator Obama, and with one that went out several months ago from Al Gore promoting his climate change initiatives -- but when we do that, we send it out ourselves, through our own email server system, following our standard privacy policies.

That's why the reply-to address on the email you received was still [e-mail] and why it had the "John Kerry for Senate" graphic and contact information above and below the body of the email.

I hope this helps to reassure you that your trust was not violated and that the private information you provided to us via johnkerry.com remains private. We appreciate your continued support for Senator Kerry in his efforts to help elect as many Democrats to the House and Senate in 2006 and 2008 as possible.

We're not now, nor will we be, in the business of helping Senator Obama "spam" anyone. Our email list is our own, and this was a one-off effort to assist someone that Senator Kery believes deserves his endorsement in the primary race. As he has noted repeatedly, he will also support Senator Clinton, former Senator Edwards, or anyone else who wins the Democratic nomination for President in 2008.

[blm]

39. Why are you spreading a falsehood? Kerry sends the email FOR Obama. He has INTEGRITY

that few in DC have ever displayed.

16. Is the goingto be the way it goes today?

Is this the flavor of posts for Monday?

[high density]

17. I had to add another person to my ignore list

Too bad the DU website can't automatically do that for everybody that posts "Hussein"

[Cha]

18. Please do..I'm sure he can

live without your fooking whining.

[susankh4]

19. I had to unsub from Move-on

for a similar reason.

Then they kept sending me e-mails asking me why I left and please come back.....

I guess they miss my donations?

But... I never sent them donations so that they could tell me who I should vote for.

So, no thanks.... I am not rejoining.

[2008]

41. I also unsubscribed from MoveOn, and I'm an Obama supporter

I thought it was ridiculous that they would endorse during the primaries. Their goal should be to help win the general, not divide the party during the primaries. BadMove on the part of MoveOn.

[Lost-in-FL]

21. I subscribed to Kerry '04...

And I have not received anything from Obama... etc. Who's your e-mail provider? Maybe you need some Spam protection.

[jlake]

24. Kerry is definitely sending Obama emails. I had to cancel after I received 3 of them.

[karynnj]

33. He only sent me one Obama email

He did send some of his own emails that dealt with things like swiftboating in 2008 - it might interest you that his concern extended to whomever was the Democratic candidate. If you remember, when the Republicans came after HRC when she asked about an exit plan to Iraq, the first Democrat out protecting her was Kerry - leading to a NYT article implying that he was supporting her.

[YvonneCa]

44. "I had to cancel after I received 3 of them" ...

...There's your answer. At the bottom of any johnkerry.com e-mail is a choice to unsubscribe. If you are offended because Kerry is supporting Obama, just opt out. How hard is that?

[Forkboy]

22. A little sensitive are we?

One email and you're starting a whiny ass thread about it?

[question everything]

23. Just now? As soon as Kerry aligned himself with Obama I got a solicitation

and told them to stop.

The sad thing is that Kerry got my name from the Edwards list back in 2004, yet, instead of Edwards getting back his list, he had to start from scratch while Obama sailed with it.

[LittleClarkie]

25. I got exactly one right when Kerry announced his endorsement, and none since

I do get junk mail that's related to be a progressive. I think the DNC sold me.

[Vektor]

26. That's strange. I'm registered with John Kerry.com...

And I have not gotten a single piece of Barack Obama related mail.

Since I am politically active, I get all sorts of emails from various political entities. I don't freak out, I just delete the ones I'm not interested in. It's really not the end of the world. Certainly not worth an angry post on DU.

Still. Odd that you are getting "spam" related to Obama from John Kerry.com, and I am not. :shrug:

[hfojvt]

27. I have gotten at least 3

Jan. 10, Feb. 13, and also before my caucus date. That one was not totally pro-Obama, but also a reminder for me to caucus and help finding the location, but the help was through an Obama site rather than through KDP.

[Vektor]

34. Hmmm... Some are getting them, some not, I guess.

That's odd. :shrug:

[hfojvt]

36. perhaps you were already signed up for Obama's emails

so he did not duplicate them. But those three were from Kerry talking about Obama. I also got one from Obama on January 11, touting the Kerry endorsement. Also, sometimes messages like that will get caught in my spam filter, whether I ask them to or not.

[dionysus]

28. aww, someone needs their banky...

[karynnj]

29. A Kerry staffer posted here at the time Kerry endorsed

that they had never given anybody the list and never would. What Kerry did was he first send his own message endorsing Obama and he then sent a message from Obama to his list (saying sent from John Kerry).

Rather odd you posting this in March - didn't this happen in January

[Occam Bandage]

30. Welcome to four months ago. Glad you could make it.

[Hoof Hearted]

35. I did that long ago.

[blm]

37. No - Kerry sent it for Obama, but, when you choose to discard the one lawmaker who

has uncovered and exposed more government corruption than any lawmaker in modern history, what does that say about YOUR priorities and YOUR sense of proportion?

Is everything just a political CAMPAIGN Battle to you? Is THAT what citizens'government accountable to the people means to you?

[grace0418]

38. Good grief. What is the deal with making a point to list Obama's middle name?

What's your point? That he has a middle name that sounds like a Muslim name? And...?

You do realize that is A.) a racist, right-wing tactic to exploit ignorant people's fear of terrorists and Muslims and B.) also a tactic of 3rd grade bullies who can't think of anything more constructive than to mock a kid for having a "weird" name?

But hey, if that's the company you like to keep, good on ya.

[2008]

40. The "Hussein" in his name is kind of like...

...the "n word" for African Americans or the "q word" for gays:

It's acceptable if they use it amongst and about themselves. Otherwise, it's hateful bigotry.

For example, someone who is not a supporter of Obama's, yet calls him Barack Hussein Obama (or even misspells two of the three names as "Barrack Hussien Obama") might be mistaken for an intolerant, racist, half-literate, right-wing, porn-addicted troll.

Just a heads-up, friend. Wouldn't want any misunderstandings.
