1. His supporters on DU have neither and have no desire to do so
Great way to win an election. Thankfully I'm not swayed by morons whose heads and hearts are filled with ignorance and hate.

11. I don't know who you are referring to
I've been a General Clark supporter for the past five years. Seemingly the goal of the vast majority of Obama supporters on DU is to alienate as many human beings as is possible. And they still object to being referred to as a cult for no apparent reason.

Despite their immaturity and hateful invective I will proudly support the Dem nominee whomever that might be.

17. I am refering to the individual who just inferred
that I am a "moron(s) whose heads and heart(s) is(are) filled with ignorance and hate"

Thats pretty immature and hateful invective in and of its own right.

And you managed to alienate me in a few quick sentences for no apparent reason.

25. I have read
disgusting posts from Obama supporters on a daily basis. Isn't it time that you and your kind cease and desist? My invective is against you, not your candidate. Do WE not have an election to win in November? Or do you cultists not give a fuck? My posts are the result of the law of physics. I sat on the sideline for a long time since my candidate wasn't in the race, but the Obama garbage spewed forth on DU daily is overwhelming. I see incredibly clearly; many Obama supporters think they must hate and lash out and spend their days being ugly. Why? I have no idea. Yeah, you'll LOL and be clueless when mccain is elected in November and then being a classic cultist you will deny culpability. Wow, thats just fucking hilarious isn't it?

31. it's even worse
that your hateful invective is against DUers, and I know how tempting that can be. I've succumbed to it too at times. I am not a cultist. I don't worship Obama. I've criticized him on several occasions. And being called a cultist by some angry hateful poster doesn't make me one. I have said repeatedly that if Hillary wins I'll vote for her. I've said she can't steal it; if she wins she wins. Do explain to me how that's being a cultist. I'd love to hear it. Furthermore, Bosshog- an appropriate name if ever there was one- anyone who can't see that proportionately there is just as much hate and bile against Obama and Obama supporters is simply blind. And that clearly describes you. YOU are a part of the problem you're railing against. A big hoggy part.

40. Too funny. You followed this up in this thread by calling them "morons," "cultists", etc.
Poor thing. You are the kid in the sandbox that pinches someone and then starts crying when sand gets kicked at you.

7. Oh Tom, all that money and yet uninformed
Team Obama has called Hillary Clinton a liar since day one - character assassination.

And character assassination is not integrity, Mr. Hanks.

The very lowest and most vile campaign tactic. "Hope and change" indeed.

You mean like accusing the Obama campaign of broadly smearing Clinton as a liar, when they've never called her a liar once, only pointed out the inaccuracies of her statements?

13. And as usual Obama's lies don't count? Such as "Selma inspiring his parents to marry"
Edited on Mon May-05-08 02:56 PM by saracat
his not being aware or in attendance when Wright made his controversial statements and his not taking any money from Resko or his associates for his presidential race. But none of those issues matter.Or his race baiting "memo's" that were brought up during the debates? Right. What a prince!

15. "But none of those issues matter."
Exactly. None of those matter.

What his parents told him about their relationship as a kid doesn't matter.

Wright doesn't matter.

Rezko doesn't matter.

Clinton? Lying about so much shit like she does, that really does matter.

She's as phony as a three dollar bill.

20. They don't matter to you. Selma matters as it was pandering not done well
Wright matters as it was a lie that indicated he supports racial division and Resko is a big lie that indicates politcal corruption but hey what do you care? "Hope and change" even if it isn't real!

really gives a shit if the Selma riots happened slightly after his parents got together?

I mean honestly... people who think professional wrestling is real have more smarts then that.

24. "Slightly after" Selma was a civil ights milestone and it says a lot that
Edited on Mon May-05-08 02:44 PM by saracat
Obama tried to use it for his own advantage after he stated that the "struggles of the 60's didn't mean anything to him".Selma took place years after he was born. That wasn't slightly wrong.That was very wrong and an insult to the Civil Rights Movement.

38. It is an insult to the Civil Rights movement when you are supposed to be paying tribute to the Selma
March and claim kinship with the march and don't even know when it took place!

18. And this Obama lie - of course he gets a pass
Obama claims he made his famous speech while running for U.S. Senate - not true.

SEN. OBAMA: Let me just follow up. My objections to the war in Iraq were simply — not simply a speech. I was in the midst of a U.S. Senate campaign. It was a high-stakes campaign. I was one of the most vocal opponents of the war, and I was very specific as to why.

14. I'm talking about broad-brushed smears
You know - character assassination.

“People have heard a lot of things that just aren’t true from the mouth of the First Lady, from the mouth of the former president, from the mouth of the campaign," said Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director.

35. And stuff like this
More character assassination:

"She is not seen as trustworthy by the American people. She has consistently, in this campaign, engaged in political calculation to mislead voters," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said.

30. HOW is that not accurate?
I personally have heard MANY things come out of her mouth that weren't true. And there is PROOF to back them up!

Do you suggest the campaign IGNORE the fact that she LIES on a regular basis? Why is pointing out FACT wrong?


IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. Some idiot I know said that, but I believe it is applicable here.
Only the Republicans have more double standards than the Hillary crew... but you're a close second.

Edited on Mon May-05-08 03:28 PM by DemGa
And by the same standard you apply to Hillary Clinton, it can just as easily be shown that Obama is a liar.

It's been nothing but a smear campaign against Hillary - Team Obama pushed the narrative repeatedly. It's as low-down as it gets.

>>>>>>

Senator Clinton likes to claim that she’s been vetted. But there is a salient theme emerging that has not been examined at all in this race: Senator Clinton has consistently made political calculations to deliberately mislead the American people and the voters have noticed.

it’s time that Senator Clinton be questioned aggressively about this pattern of misleading voters.

A history of misleading voters

a legacy of misleading voters.

43. It's not a matter of standards. Truth is not a GREY area.
She said something happened.
It was later proven by video evidence that it didn't happen.
She said it 4 different times in prepared speeches, so it's not misspeaking.
Then later in the debates she said that she "stated things she knew not to be the truth."

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT A LIE?

34. Circular argument isn't it --- how convenient
Hillary's a liar because she's a liar?

When you make derogatory statements against someone's character by repeatedly and broadly calling them dishonest - that is the very definition of character assassination. Justify it if you wish.

I have EVIDENCE to PROVE she's a liar. So then that's not character assasination, that's plain honesty. Right?

You guys aren't even making sense anymore.
