I think Obama will slash and burn the Democratic party to get nominated

[dpbrown]

When finally pressed by the previously fawning media he let his pique show. Not exactly grace under pressure. Rezko will doom him if not dealt with by the general, and maybe even then.

[bowens43]

1. Wow, that's all you have?

It's not enough.

[Tesha]

76. Projection. It (along with crow) is what's for dinner.

Whenever you read one of these folks, remember that
they're just "projecting" (their guilt, fears, and
plans) onto others.

4. What pique?

I keep hearing this with no supporting evidence.

Eagerly awaiting your example of him "losing his cool," "being piqued," or any other example.

I'll donate $20 to Hillary if you can.

[redqueen]

39. Damn... I was thinking someone might have answered you by now. (nt)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

57. Nope.

:(

[dpbrown]

58. You see what you want to see...

The result was arguably one of Obama's weaker debate performances. He at times appeared annoyed as he sought to answer questions about remarks by his former pastor, his reluctance to wear an American flag pin on his lapel and his association in Chicago with former members of the Weather Underground, a radical group that carried out anti-government bombings in the 1960s.

62. I see a phoney-baloney screen test.

:rofl:

[dpbrown]

64. I see a paper-thin grifter who got pissed off when he sensed the media honeymoon might be over

:rofl:

[whistler162]

68. quite correct.....

and she was next to Senator Barack H. Obama!

[dpbrown]

85. The lady with years of experience dealing with pressure took it all in stride

The newbie who apparently feels like the annointed one already showed his pique and it wasn't pretty.

[backscatter712]

5. Does Barack have a beard on the TV you're watching?

You must be posting from the Star Trek Mirror Universe...

[hvn_nbr_2]

49. Now that you mention it, I'm surprised Fox hasn't shown him with...

a beard, a turban, and a bomb.

[durrrty libby]

6. Agreed.And what a fucking embarassing performance he gave last night

Jesus,all that stammering, hemming and hee haws

Dayum, it was pathetic

[Leftist Agitator]

38. "Dayum, it was pathetic"

You mean kind of pathetic like Queen Hillary admitting to being a liar on national television?

[SoonerPride]

7. You're shooting blanks. Try throwing the gun.

That might leave a mark.

[Life Long Dem]

8. Really?

A picture is worth a thousand words!

Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 2/2/2008

[cali]

9. nope. he's just moving steadily toward the nomination and

not letting himseslf get thrown by attacks from the evermore desperate hillary or the MSM.

[cliffordu]

10. I completely agree....

He's HOGGING ALL THE VOTES

He's HOGGING ALL THE DELEGATES

He's STEALING ALL THE SUPERDELEGATES

IT'S ALL SLASH AND BURN!!!!! He's all about the slash and burn!!!!


ooooohhhh nnnooooooooeeeeessss11!!!!!11!11!!1!1


note to staff:

When all else fails go to REZKO!!!!!

[Cassandra]

11. You mean Hillary, yes?

It has been a confusing campaign season, what with Hillary trying to claw her way back to the inevitability she thought was due to anything other than name recognition.

[bigwillq]

12. These threads are just not productive.

But go ahead with your hate speak.

[MethuenProgressive]

13. It'll end up Obamacrats, Democrats, and Republicans.

Obama should join with Democrats to defeat McCain.

[blm]

15. Right now we have Open Government Democrats v Closed Government Privilege - you side with CGP

just because Clintons led you there.

[Cassandra]

24. I'm curious; into which of those categories...

would you put Joe Lieberman?

[MethuenProgressive]

27. Obamacrat.

Obama's first choice for VP.

[redqueen]

40. I thought Obama campaigned for Lamont after the primary, and Clinton just stayed out...

can you clear that up for me?

[Cassandra]

42. Of course he'd want to partake of that...

Joementum. Makes all the difference in a campaign.

[dionysus]

82. there you go again with more baldfaced lies.

do you ever stop lying? *can* you stop lying?

[DefenseLawyer]

14. Other than that, how are things in Bizarro World?

Weather good? Everyone doing okay?

[Cha]

16. You're not very

bright, are you?

[Bonobo]

17. All evidence points to EXACTLY the opposite. It is Hillary. Is this Upside-Down World?

[SeaLyons]

19. I agree,,,,

Obama is a big problem for the party.

[madrchsod]

20. here is an example of what he is going to do.....

burn baby burn-democratic inferno!!!

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

23. Just close your eyes, tap your ruby slippers together, and repeat:

"Hillary will be elected president. Hillary will be elected president. Hillary will be elected president."

And then it will all come true.

[Lucky 13]

25. How exactly is that slashing and burning the party?

People attacking him isn't HIM harming the party.

Be serious.

[barack the house]

26. Yeah keep hoping and praying on kitchen sinks. More people know him now and like him a lot.

[GDAEx2]

28. In psychology, this is called "Projection"

In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions to others. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud, and for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as "Freudian Projection"

[burythehatchet]

74. AT DU it's just called delusion.

[mkultra]

29. since she cant win numerically

its obvious shes shooting for a 2012 run.

[onenote]

30. applause for the hit and run OP!

When pressed by DU commenters he/she went a-running for the hills.

Not surprised.

[dpbrown]

32. This just in from Bob Johnson (founder of BET) - "Ferraro said it right."

"Geraldine Ferraro said it right. The problem is, Geraldine Ferraro is white. (The Obama campaign) has such a hair-trigger on anything racial it is almost impossible for anybody to say anything."

[dionysus]

86. and a little race-baiting on your way out of your thread?

:rofl:

[KSinTX]

33. Stunning development on your part

I note you've been here for quite some time, and that makes this post quite curious, considering your prior statements.

Whew! First time reading a whole post AND comments in a while...

"I've been kicked off of other Yahoo groups and such and such."

and

"Would we be looking at going back to a failed Democratic strategy of "big states" and beltway only, should Senator Clinton be elected President?"

and

Keep telling Democrats the Democratic Party sucks and watch the Republicans and the DLC turn the nation even further to the fringe as some Democrats quit voting

As the new kid, is this post some form of acceptable rec trolling with which I'm unfamiliar?

[hvn_nbr_2]

53. "acceptable rec trolling"

Nice term. Actually, I think recently that at least half the greatest page is there from rec trolling or coordinated rec'ing. These days you can post "Obama sucks. nt" or "Hillary lies. nt" and get 50 recs.

Welcome to DU. Based on the links you found, it looks like you're someone who does their homework.

[KSinTX]

56. You are so very right about the recs

But it's a lot better than some other sites I've been on. When I signed up for the Army as a journalist back when, I told people it was the perfect cover for my nosy nature. Everyone laughed - no one contradicted it! I suppose I like a healthy combination of fact and goofy talk!

[Hepburn]

34. Rezko????

OMFG....don't you Hillbots ever know when to give it up???

:rofl:

[dpbrown]

35. I favor Representative Kucinich, but thanks for your conclusion jumping

I didn't think it was possible that the Democrats could lose the White House after the disastrous Bush years, but after seeing how out-of-touch many of the Obama people are, I now see it as a distinct possibility.

[redqueen]

41. You do know that Kucinich instructed his delegates to move to OBAMA in the second round

back in IA, right?

Any guesses as to why he didn't choose the DLC lady?

[dpbrown]

45. Politics - the same reason he suggested Edwards in 2004

The point was to make the stronger one weaker so he would have a better shot.

[redqueen]

47. So he would have a shot?

:spray:

He runs to promote ideas. He's not so idiotic as to think he has a shot, let alone a better one.

Jesus.

[dpbrown]

50. And he's smart enough to know that the ideas get more play at 15% than they do at 10%

Save your exasperation.

[redqueen]

51. What exasperation?

Dude this is fuckin hilarious! :rofl:

[dpbrown]

54. In 2004 Dennis said he was in it to win, as you know from your support at that time

Since your purpose is clearly to denigrate me, and not to discuss Dennis' strategy in suggesting a move to Obama in Iowa in order to bring down Clinton's numbers, I won't respond further to your personal attack.

Suffice it to say that Rep. Kucinich did not suggest Obama in the second round in Iowa as some sort of backhanded "endorsement." He suggested it only to improve his chances of being heard in that and in other primaries throughout the nominations process, just as his strategy of pitting contenders against the ostensible leader worked in 2004.

Dennis Kucinich uses all the political means at his disposal to get his message out, and the world is better for it.

Obama, on the other hand, relies on little but a mantra of "change" as an end in itself to draw starry-eyed acolytes into the web of his particular brand of grifting.

[redqueen]

55. Denigrate you?

Ego trip much?

:rofl:

Sorry... no... my "purpose" here is to denigrate the idiocy you're spewing... not you, personally.

:hug:

As for DK - he's a fucking politician. If you think he has a halo and wings, you're in for a rude awakening someday. And yeah, of course he said he was in it to win... just like JE said he was staying in right before he dropped out. It's called POLITICS.

As for DK's decision to side with Obama... I think he has a little more integrity than the average pol. He could have gone with Biden, Dodd, Richardson, or any of the rest... but you honestly think he only chose Obama to hurt Clinton & Edwards? He didn't pick those others cause what... he thought they had even less of a chance? Really?!

[dpbrown]

59. DK did not "side" with Obama - he used Obama just like any other politician would

You're just wrong if the point you are trying to make is that Dennis somehow "endorsed" Obama in Iowa. He did what any other politican would have done. He played one leader against another.

And none of this changes the fact that Obama is paper thin. He comes off like a grifter to anyone not under the Messiah spell. And when the general comes around, if he's the nominee, his lack of political depth and thin skin, not to say the thin skin of his supporters, will provide McCain with an advantage that will be hard to overcome (not to mention the Rezko scandal).

[redqueen]

60. Awwww... "the Messiah spell".

That's cute. Really.

:hi:

As for Rezko... whatever. All candidates have dirt. All else but pure politics aside: I'd rather put Obama & his campaign against McCain than Hillary and her JOKE of a campaign.

Let's see:

- someone who lies about dodging sniper fire vs. Bona Fide War Hero... hmmmmmmmmm...

- someone who voted for the war and backed up the neo-con lies about Iraq vs. a republican who did the same thing... hmmmmmmmm...

- someone who voted to extend Bush's tax cuts vs. a republican who did the same thing... hmmmmm...

:think:

43. What Obama is doing is ENERGIZING the Democratic Party

Hillary has a .03% chance of being the nominee.

You can think whatever you want.

Don't do anything WHEN he is the nominee. There are PLENTY of GOOD Democrats that will help make him the next President of the United States.

52. Um...you're so wrong...

it's Hillary who'll slash and burn the Democratic Party to get nominated...not Obama.

[dpbrown]

61. Just two more recommendations to tie the thread this is copycatted from!

Come on, people!

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

65. Why should he? He's winning. n/t

[Orsino]

67. I don't know whether any slashing would ever be necessary...

...but it seems to me that he'd have to do less than Clinton would, at this point.

'Cause he's, like, got the support of more people so far.

[lojasmo]

69. I think clinton supporters are fucking delusional. EOM

[IsItJustMe]

70. I think you are Rush Limbugh posing as a Democrat. Does that make it true?

71. bye

72. Yet another fart in the elevator

[MadHound]

73. Funny, project much?

It is Hillary in her March to the Sea that is slashing and burning the Democratic party. She will do anything, lie, cheat and steal to get what she thinks is rightfully hers. She is ready to sacrifice the party on the altar of her ego and greed.

[dchill]

77. "let his pique show" - Wow. If that was what it takes to...

"slash and burn the Democratic party" then it's already QUITE slashed and burned, not?

[dionysus]

78. did you type that with a straight face? the projection is hillarious...

[Bensthename]

79. Yah, he was horrible. He even thew his shoe. I mean who throws a shoe? Really.
