Maybe We Should Just Let The HRC Supporters Have The "Floor" Tonight...

[WillyT]

You know... just kick or comment on the positive Obama threads...

Cause I don't feel like I need to engage any of the... members of that group, after that speech today.

There really is no need to defend what he said. And trying to explain the profound and sublime to the willfully...um, resistant, is useless.

Just a thought.

:shrug:

[better tomorrow]

1. those of us on earlier today all took a pledge to be nice today.

Someone suggested "Tame Tuesdays" just to show that we are uniters and not dividers. A lot of us are in for the day.....

[WillyT]

3. Aw Hell... I Just Got Home From Work...

Did not know...

Thanks.

:hi:

[Scairp]

2. Maybe you should at least give it a shot

He looked like he would rather be having root canal than in that room speaking.

[grantcart]

5. actually almost everyone thought he looked determined and presidential

[Rick Myers]

10. Are you kidding me?

What talking point memo is that from? Jeebus...

[WillyT]

12. You May Be Correct, He Did Not Engage In The Time Honored, "Clap, Clap, Point, Point"

29. I don't think he wanted to do it.

He said his black advisers, and his wife, were excited about it. But, he said, his white advisers were nervous. Why do you suppose that was?

[billbuckhead]

4. How can you defend what Reverend Wright said about Natalee Holloway?

Hillary's opponent blames Reverend Wright's bigotry on society so he doesn't have to explain going to this man's church for 20 years. It was a Checkers speech camouflaged with civil rights.

[WillyT]

14. Who's Natalie Holloway ???

:evilfrown:

[billbuckhead]

23. Use google and figure it out

[WillyT]

24. Does She Have Something To Do With This Election ???

:shrug:

[billbuckhead]

25. You can't go to a church for 20 years with someone like that and not know it

and then say you're some sort of reconciler. Oprah quit this church awhile back but Hillary's opponent put this Reverend Wright in his campaign. Shows bad judgment as well as endless phoniness about race and sexism.

[WillyT]

26. So... That's What YOU Got Out Of Today's Speech ???

I truly feel sorry for you.

G'Night.

:shrug:

[billbuckhead]

27. Hillary's opponent will say anything to avoid responsibility

A Checkers speech cloaked with civil rights rhetoric.

[apocalypsehow]

38. Heh. "Hillary's opponent" is going to be the Democratic nominee. Get over it. Or cry me a river.

Or both.

:cry:

I don't care which.

[Scairp]

41. I got the invocation of "O.J. was a bad moment in race relations"

That made me flinch. Talk about playing the race card. Or the recitation of a passage from his book that describes his first service at Trinity Church. Is he trying out for preacher or president? We've already had one false Christian president, and gee, hasn't that worked out well? Certainly, Obama is no Bush, but using religion, in whatever manner a candidate does so, to get to the White House is still using it, and I don't trust it...no matter who it's coming from.

[boppers]

31. Natalie Holloway: Darling of FAUX news.

Cute blue eyed blonde girl goes missing. RW Media goes wild.

[DefenseLawyer]

39. Just out of curiosity, are you from Buckhead in Atlanta?

The richest, whitest neighborhood in Georgia?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

Maybe. All I know is my ignore button is going into overdrive right now.

They can have the "floor" all they want. I just don't want to be sucked into their negativity right now.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. I'm with you.

[thevoiceofreason]

6. Willy. I think you nailed it.

One of the envies, I guess.

[Why Syzygy]

7. I gave up on them today too.

Marianne Williamson said my peace in a broadcast (now posted at DU political videos).

Remember the ferocity of the status quo. Some cannot let go of their self view as the chosen class.
Can't argue with that :shrug:

[elixir]

8. Why don't you admit your tired and need to change your depends. Nighty night.

[WillyT]

9. Hey jlake !!!

:evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

19. I bet when you look at a calender you wonder who June is.

[screembloodymurder]

11. Those that cannot see the greatness of that speech

fucking piss me off.

[rodeodance]

34. "fucking piss me off'---GREAT!! ha ha ha ha

[Bonobo]

13. Who wants to get all dirty in the mud after being lifted so high today?

You are 100% right.

[better tomorrow]

15. And, while you are being nice, offer it up for LENT....

[WillyT]

18. I LENT Everthing I Had, Now I'm OWED...

Peace...

:hi:

[better tomorrow]

22. ..

:rofl:

[C_U_L8R]

16. I'm trying to leave the pessimists and the curmudgeons alone

I'm trying real hard : - ))))) hahahaha

[Forkboy]

20. You say curmudgeon like it's a bad thing.

Damn kids!

:)

[C_U_L8R]

21. only the really grouchy ones

too much bad karma

[marmar]

28. A few of them have certainly hit the floor....and gone right through the bottom of it.

I'm not a frequent GD-P visitor, and frankly, I can't believe some of the posts I'm seeing here tonight.

[KAZ]

30. Because the DU Admins don't have the guts to shut it down.

They're standing on a "principal", and they're letting a destructive candidate dictate the meaning of "presumptive".

[BlackVelvet04]

32. Oh, most of us will let you have it until you're finished

with your orgy of exploding hearts, tears and declarations of undying hero worship of Obama. Your threads are dangerous to diabetics.

37. Ok, you owe me a monitor.....

ROFLMAO. If we get pregnant from it would they be Obamababies?

[Why Syzygy]

33. This is a great idea.

Lots of us are really sick of the trash bin that is GDP. A side note .. isn't it pretty obvious that the netroots is a significant factor in the election cycle? We have an opportunity. And isn't it true that even with the ugly side, it's pretty exciting? If it were easy, we might tend to undervalue what we have here.

With that in mind, why don't we do our part to elevate the level here in the netroots. We don't need a zillion posts to refute the uglies. We just need SOME strong threads. The past few days I have barely skimmed the topic titles in GDP. It would be great to come in here and find some healthy Obama threads to kick!

[rodeodance]

36. Let us know when all your Orgasms over the speech are done.

[Joe the Revelator]

40. Sure thing Jellybean, just be sure to tell us when Hillay takes over the delegate lead

Thanks!

[WillyT]

42. Kick !!!

:kick:
