Let it sink.

[AGirl]

Please let it sink. This Obama forum will only tolerates Clinton bashing.

1. Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Maya's style of writing is not unlike your own.

9. I would never presume so

But am blushing furiously from your compliment.

[cbayer]

24. Easter message.

I am moved.

[Mike03]

2. LOL. I'm getting that exact same feeling lately. NT

[Mike03]

3. Maybe I'm being overly dramatic, but this seems to me to be DU's lowest moment.

Not to mention it's most dishonest moment.

What has happened? And how did it happen?

[BooScout]

4. I personally got tired of.....

1. Being told to STFU
2. Being called Freeper
3. Being called a racist
4. Told I am suffering from PMS
5. Asked if I have taken my midol

I pop in occaisonally........otherwise I am elsewhere talking to adults. If you want to know where pm me.

[Mike03]

6. That is disgraceful that you were told those things. I can't believe it.

Maybe you should post your experience, just so that many of us can recommend and try to defend you, because that is precisely the kind of thing that is ruining this place.

I'm so, so sorry you went through that. It is just disgusting.

Please stick around, if you can. (I know it's not easy. I keep trying to ban myself, then changing my mind...)

[BooScout]

14. Yes it's disgusting and I am not alone....

A lot of others have experienced the same and worse. I am absolutely amazed at the level of hate I have seen these past months and it has escalated to the point that so many good people have left.

As i said.....I do pop in occaisionally, but I seldom bother with posting much anymore. There's really no point to it anymore.

[durrrty libby]

11. "this seems to me to be DU's lowest moment." It is much lower than you think

There is a McCarthy type list being passed around.

That's some f'd up ironic democracy they got going :rofl:

5. Stick it in the Sand!

[emilyg]

10. Yep.

[QC]

17. Have you seen the Official Let It Sink logo?

[BeatleBoot]

22. funny!

[Mike03]

8. Please keep fighting, because Clinton and her supporters deserve respect, and I will always

speak up for you, because even though I'm for Obama, his "defenders" disgust me and are totally against what he stands for.

[BooScout]

15. No one has stopped fighting for Hillary....

We just stopped talking to a brick wall when it became obvious that all we were getting in lieu of rational discourse was churlish insults.

12. postings

People say what they can get away with. I'll be happy once this primary is over, and all the endless stories of how elated people felt when He appeared on TV, or when He came to their town. Like so many impressionable schoolgirls gawking over the affections of the fuhrer. Then there are the stories of people who were really for Hill all along, but finally saw the light after BO's latest pronouncement. And of course, helping the 100 year-old neighbors in wheelchairs to the polls so they can vote for BO. And my personal favorites: the OP's that SOUND anti-BO, but when you read them, they're really pro. Their cell leaders must stay up nights thinking up these novel thread ideas.

[Mike03]

13. Please keep posting what you feel is the truth, because your opinions are under-represented

around here, and they are very fair, and we need to be heard.

[JohnnyLib2]

16. Refuse to think, just let it sink.

:evilgrin:

[Mike03]

18. Arggh, I wish I could recommend some posts more than once. NT

[rug]

20. I value your opinion. K&R.

[Mike03]

23. Wow, that means a lot to me. No one has ever said that to me in all these years.

Thanks.

[Bonobo]

19. The idea is to not argue with people who's minds are made up. Nothing wrong with that.

You cannot claim that it is our responsibility to continue to help Obama bashers who have their minds made up to spread poison.

We feel he is the nominee at this point at that the damage you do to him, you do to our party.

So not wanting to engage in childish repartee is not censorship, but sensible.

Keep It Kicked..

Question "authority"

Dissent is patriotic


...and all those other (former) DU mantras.
