A Gentle Reminder to Hillary and Obama Supporters. This is Democratic Underground.

[Hawkeye-X]

Not Obama Underground. Or Hillary Underground. I fought for this website for 6 years and it wasn't called Kerry Underground or Dean Underground or Clark Underground either. I call it as its original name, Democratic Underground, and I ask that you respect the board the way it is. Thank you.

1. Then everyone should treat it that way

Because frankly --I've had it up to my eyeballs with the manner in which Hillary is treated on this website.

[Hawkeye-X]

3. I have tried to keep it DU style..

but with the primaries just about wrapped up, I hope to see it go back to its original basis really soon. Hang in there, maddiejoan! :hi:

[maddiejoan]

11. TYm Hawkeye

:hi:

4. And I've had it up to my eyeballs with the way Hillary has run her campaign and...

...insulted Obama supporters.

If you don't like Hillary being hated, go to the source and convince her to straighten up her act and abandon the Rove campaign playbook she has been following.

[maddiejoan]

7. I would except

she hasn't done anything of the sort, unless you are buying into the media narrative --in which case, I can't help you.

[hfojvt]

14. it's more of a blogosphere narrative than an M$M one

Are we supposed to believe that the blogosphere is just as uniformed and corrupt as the M$M?

[maddiejoan]

21. Yes

we are.

[Why Syzygy]

12. have you thought about

turning on your journal here at DU? I think you should.

[Evergreen Emerald]

16. See...this is exactly what is wrong with the board. Baseless attacks

designed to divide. I have had it up to my eyeballs with people on this board attacking Clinton distorting her stances and making stuff up just to rant.

[george_maniakes]

10. Im not too fond of how obama people have been treated either. n/t

[PoliticalAmazon]

2. What in the world are you talking about? n/t

[rug]

5. You see, there was this website created 7 years and 19 days before you enrolled.

[PoliticalAmazon]

6. Thanks for the condescending insult when I asked a valid question...

...What are you talking about? In what style or manner would you like us to post? What do you mean when it's not one candidate or another's?

Those statements mean nothing to me because, by my experience here, there are posts about both candidates, and in styles ranging from very diplomatic to more warrior-like, from uninformed nincompoop to near scholarly work.

There are more posts criticizing Clinton for what she's done wrong because she has, almost on a daily basis, lied about something, had a major scandal break, she insults Obama supporters, or acted in a divisive or unethical way. There are going to be more posts about Clinton because there are more breaking issues about her.

So, again, can you be specific about what you would like to see on the board?

Thanks.

[maddiejoan]

9. less people like you

that would be an excellent start

[dbonds]

19. Do you not see you were the one that came into this thread trying to push buttons?

And you blame other people when they react to it? You aren't trying to make a point, you are trying to start a fight.

[maddiejoan]

22. No

I see myself agreeing with the OP and then adding my own voice to it.

[merh]

24. Please ignore the pettiness

Things get nasty during the primary season as you have noticed. But that nastiness proves that DU isn't the echo chamber that some on the right like to call it.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

[JVS]

8. Not until the nomination. Then it is

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Yeah, dude, but you know this place is going to stay a mess until we have an actual nominee.

No matter what kind of entreaties ANY of us may make.

Once we do have a nominee, though, the mods can come in and hose the place down. :thumbsup:

[bellasgrams]

18. They should have hosed it down a long time ago. The BO

people are SO nasty, but then so is he when he attacks and lies about our country's former President and first Lady. You would think this is Republican Underground, and they have been allowed to do it along with filthy talk, that any competent adult would not use.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Oh, bullshit. I've had some jaw-droppingly vile shit said to me by Hillary supporters.

And I'm hardly some kind of crazed Obama partisan. Until a couple months ago, I was supporting Chris Dodd.

But just the other week I had a Hillary person tell me they hoped I got sick and didn't have any health insurance- not because I'm somehow opposed to universal coverage; actually, I support a SPHC system, which neither Obama OR Hillary supports-- but just because, I don't know, I had the nerve to argue a point with a different Hillary supporter.

So, in essence, I got the Michael Savage "I hope you die, pig" treatment.

So don't give me this flatulating garbage about how it's just the mean, nasty Obama people who have lowered the discourse here. I can name a more than a few DU Hillary-heads whose behavior was out of bounds even before this place was turned into GD: Primaries.

[MasonJar]

15. Thank you for that reminder; it is time for all DUers to toe the line or go somewhere else.

[cornermouse]

17. If I had a suit of armour I'd lend it to you

because you're going to need it, but I don't. Sorry.

[applegrove]

20. Well said. All should feel welcome here.

[TankLV]

23. sorry - it seems like the obamaunderground to me and it's DISGUSTING...

we'll see how this place is after the conventions...

[Sparkle]

25. This section should be called BashHillaryunderground.com
