Check in and shut up the fake outrage: Obama Supporters AGAINST Calling Hillary a Bitch!

[PresidentObama]

I would never do that.

I respect and admire her.

And she's a Democrat!!

So if you agree that it's not ok to call her a bitch, let the Hillary supporters who are pushing the lie that we Obama supporters call a bitch know you don't like that kind of language and you want this race to be more civil and about the issues and differences between the candidates.

So give me a GOBAMA! if you agree...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. Gobama!

[PresidentObama]

2. GOBAMA!

[Melinda]

3. GOBama - It's never okay to call any woman a bitch, let alone HRC.

I strongly condemn anyone who would do such.

[polichick]

4. Gobama! (Barack would really not appreciate his supporters doing that.)

[azmouse]

5. Gobama

I detest Hillary but I'd never call her the B-word.

[Bensthename]

6. Gobama, with the bama

[DJ13]

7. I neither respect or admire her, but I wouldnt call her that

Does that count?
:shrug:

[tekisui]

8. Anti-Sexist Obama Supporter here.

It don't use any of those sexist slanders.

[blm]

Would never call her a bitch. Would call her a Bush protecting, fascist enabling Dem.

Because ACCURACY matters to me.

[Maddy McCall]

9. I can guarantee you, my disgust with that word is not fake.

This would have been a healing thread, if you would not have made fun of the men and women here who truly are opposed to such language.

Why offer a "unity" thread and then only divide us further by making fun of those of us who have wished to discuss this?

[PresidentObama]

27. You wished to imply that we call her a hurtful word, we wish to shut you up!

99.9% of Obama supporters would NEVER call her that.

[murielm99]

36. I've seen it done here, and I've alerted on it. n/t

The same poster who called Clinton a bitch replied in a thread on the front page where she said she hated Clinton.

Don't say it doesn't happen. That is simply your meme for the day. How many times are you going to post this crap about fake outrage?

[PresidentObama]

38. I didn't say it doesn't happen. I said it's bullshit to imply it's more than one or two bad apples.

Maddy is almost implying it's common.

It's not.

Has it happened? Yep.

[redqueen]

40. Well yeah but remember that time in February when someone on Kos

said something really nasty?

That's awful!

Someone should do another OP!

POUTRAGEOUS!

[murielm99]

47. Maddy is correct.

And the Obama supporters are usually the ones who post multiple threads on any supposed insult and drive a topic into the ground.

I did not see the cult accusation here, or know about it until I saw about twenty threads by Obama supporters whining over their mistreatment. Many Obama supporters are still beating the Wright "controversy" to death.

I guess you must have new marching orders about not calling Clinton a bitch.

This thread would have been all right if you could have kept the words "shut up" out of it.

[redqueen]

49. Victim mode ON!

I think it's sad if you really believe everything you just posted.

[murielm99]

50. Another one of your favorite catch phrases!

How amusing!

And here I thought the meme of the day was "faux outrage."

[redqueen]

56. What?

What 'favorite catchphrase'? I've never said that before in my life. :wtf:

[dsc]

57. Your OP says exactly that it doesn't happen

So if you agree that it's not ok to call her a bitch, let the Hillary supporters who are pushing the lie that we Obama supporters call a bitch know you don't like that kind of language and you want this race to be more civil and about the issues and differences between the candidates.

[Debi]

55. But you have no problem using it Maddy, even if your use of it is just to

show your disgust with it.

Why not just stop using it?

[Mooney]

10. I just don't want her to be president.

But no, I don't call her a "bitch."

[Erin Elizabeth]

11. I've never called her that.

And never will.

I don't, however, respect or admire or even like her.

GOBAMA!

[Abacus]

12. GO'Bama

[myrna minx]

13. Feminist for Obama. I have never called Hillary a *itch, nor will I.

:hi:

[Firespirit]

14. GOBAMA

There is plenty of legitimate material to attack her on without acting like a misogynistic freeper.

[crankychatter]

15. it's fake outrage

a couple of teeny-boppers get over zealous and run their mouths... I don't even recall seeing it here at all.

they're in no position to whine... I have never seen a top post questioning Clinton's ability to win based upon her gender...

plenty of racially tinged and some outright racist stuff... plenty of fake scandalmongering

some on both sides

not saying there's none... just sayin'

sorry, can't sign up for it

Bill Clinton is a crooked son-of-a-bitch and I've been saying it for nearly two decades....

and I campaigned vigorously for him TWICE

if they're gonna go because of some dumb stuff they read in a thread... they were never with us to begin with... let them go...

I ain't holdin' their damn hands... and giving them big wet poor baby kisses.

[Maddy McCall]

18. Aren't you the guy who had a breakdown over "If it's brown, flush it down?"

You should heed your own advice.

[Kool Kitty]

16. I neve have and never will call

Hillary a bitch.

[Marrah_G]

17. I think most Obama supporters have a problem with calling her one

Your post would have been a good one except for this "Check in and shut up the fake outrage" which really just makes your thread flamebait.

My outrage at the treatment of women here or abroad is never "faux". I would react in exactly the same manner if this were said about Michelle Obama or even Condi Rice. I can easily state my reasons for disliking a female without having to resort to demeaning and humiliating words used to oppress women.

Plenty of Obama supporters disagree with this sort of language used towards women. Are they being "faux" also?

[derby378]

19. Obama bumper sticker maker saying GOBAMA!

And no, I wouldn't use that word on Hillary, either.

For those who are interested, some samples of my work are on sale here:

[americanstranger]

20. That we even have to go on the record like this is stupid.

GoBama. The 'B' word is out.

But you know this won't calm anybody down. Just sayin'

- as

[Omaha Steve]

21. GOBAMA!

Ditto to the Honorable Jr. Senator from NY.

[PoliticalAmazon]

22. She is what she is, and needs to be called on it....

...Our country is tanking partly because the Dems in Congress would not go to bat for the measures that would help their constituents, and instead voted with the neocons.

If we expect our elected politicians to be willing to call something what it really is and not just mealie-mouth the truth, we need to be willing to do it ourselves.

Besides, Hillary Clinton knows that many Democrats are meek and won't call her on her bullshit, including being a bitch and a corporate whore. You are giving her license to do it if you don't call her on it.

[Skip Intro]

25. Oh, she SHOULD be called a bitch, because she really is a bitch?

Please explain, in exactly what way is she a bitch?

[redqueen]

44. So then call her a corporate sellout.

Call her a triangulating DLCer.

Call her complicit if you want.

But why get in the gutter?

[AngryOldDem]

23. Gobama. Gobama. Gobama.

Jesus. When WILL this board grow the fuck up?

[elehhhhna]

24. Agreed, no B-word. "LIAR" works just fine.

[yasmina27]

26. I don't like her

but I would never call her that.

[Flabbergasted]

28. Never went there. Never will. nt

[apocalypsehow]

29. I don't call anybody by that slur - I believe the word is offensive to many women, and I respect

their wishes that it should not be used as a noun.

That said, all this outrage about its use by the HRC boosters is as phony as the day is long. And you're not going to find me - or any other grown-up - wandering around DU calling people out on their use of it. The HRC boosters have run out of hope for their candidate's campaign, so now they're making up things to get nasty about.

[robertpaulsen]

30. GOBAMA!

:woohoo:

[MaineDem]

31. I usually get crap for complaining about the term in any context (other than as a verb)

I don't care who the woman is, she doesn't deserve the label, in my opinion.

[HooptieWagon]

32. no bitch, hilLIARy works fine for me. n/t

[rniel]

33. Yes

I have not called anyone in the world a bitch today, yet I log in here and I'm accused of doing it because I support Obama. Fuck you Clintonbots!

[redqueen]

45. Heh...

yeah... broad-brushing is pretty common around here. Doesn't do much to help improve things does it?

:hi:

[4_Legs_Good]

34. GOBAMA!

[redqueen]

35. Gobama!

[SoFlaJet]

37. not for nothing

but didn't Skinner put an end to that term before the new year? No I'm tired of fighting and making enemies with my fellow democrats here-the time for unity is now. It's dems vs repubs-either Obama or Clinton will be better than McCain. They both showed that today at the Petreaus (however you spell his name) hearings.

[JimGinPA]

39. A Few Weeks Ago "Bitch Is The New Black" Was Their Mantra Here

[redqueen]

43. Context.

[democrattotheend]

41. I agree 100%

Sexism does nothing but make Obama look bad and hurt our cause, and it's against what we believe in as Democrats. So, say no to sexism, and GOBAMA!

[weezy2736]

42. GOBAMA! n/t

[FrenchieCat]

46. GoBAMA

Hillary is Rich! That is all. :)

[Rosa Luxemburg]

48. GOBAMA

[PA Democrat]

51. GOBAMA!

[kid a]

52. Obama!

[libnnc]

53. I never called her either

I did say she looked like a goober for smiling and waving on the spot where King was murdered, however.

But I've never called her a bitch or a *%nt.

Search me. I dare ya.

[Debi]

54. How 'bout we work at not using the word at all?

These posts are getting tiring - Clinton supporters using it to 'show' how others keep using it to describe Clinton. Obama supporters using it to 'show' that they won't use it to describe Clinton.

Maybe we all could stop using it.

Wouldn't that be nice?
