So after a day of Obama supporters calling for unity...

[BlueStater]

...we're back to yet another typical "Hillary is racist/desperate/delusional/sickening etc." day.

That didn't last long, did it?

[Kittycat]

1. No, we're just sharing her latest press release & comments in the papers.

Don't like it? maybe you should consider contacting her campaign.

[FlyingSquirrel]

2. Reminds me of George Costanza's dad on Seinfeld

Instead of "SERENITY NOW!" it's "UNITY NOW!"

Has about the same effect.

:D

[BigDDem]

69. "You're not giving away our Water Pik!"

[SoCalDem]

3. She's still "running", isn't she?

She's still spinning lies about the process and the counting mechanism..

Until she stops that, she's still an opponent..

even a dead rattlesnake has venom in its fangs..

[MadBadger]

4. Tell her to stop trumpeting this "White Vote' bullshit.

[leftofcool]

10. Then stop trumpeting the Black vote bullshit

and tell Al Sharpton who is calling for race riots over this to shut up

[MadBadger]

20. WHo the fuck cares what Al Sharpton is saying?

have you heard Obama say "I have the critical Black vote and we are starting to notice a trend" Has he suggested in some terms that she cant get that? Hell no.

[sandnsea]

21. Excuse me?

What in the hell are you trying to do now.

[redqueen]

29. Who's trumpeting it? Is Al Sharpton part of Obama's campaign?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

45. Didn't you know all black people know each other?

It's in their newsletter. Sheesh.

[redqueen]

Oh yeah... thanks for reminding me...

:loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

49. You're welcome.

:blush:

[stillcool]

76. What are you talking about?

You think peaceful protests are race riots? You think the only outrage is from blacks? Do you see anything other than black/white?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

95. Yeah! And I heard Idi Amin hates whites too!!!11!1!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Has Obama got 2025 yet?

:rofl:

[skipos]

48. Will Hillary EVER get 2025?

:rofl:
Has she had a pledged delegate lead at any point in time since Iowa?
:rofl:
Have you heard she still thinks she can win?
:rofl:
She is HILL-A-RIOUS!!!

[Bicoastal]

6. Oh PLEEEEZ...

And with her little "hard working Whites aren't voting for Obama" speech today, she did nothing at all to deserve that.

Yeah, right.

[BlueStater]

27. No. Not really.

What's so unreasonable about that? Hillary crushed him in the white vote in botch NC and Indiana.

[redqueen]

30. And he crushed her in predominantly white states. That required getting those votes.

It's unreasonable as all hell.

[Bicoastal]

37. Sometimes I feel like the Clinton campaign's sense memory...

...only extends to the previous primary.

He whooped her ass in Idaho, Utah, Alaska, Vermont, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas.

Are there no white people in those states?

[redqueen]

44. I think they know damn well they're lying their asses off...

and counting on her 'base' not noticing.

[leftofcool]

7. Oh, they will come back begging for unity again, I suspect

[redqueen]

33. "They" are not a monolithic entity...

no matter how much Clinton's most whiniest supporters wish to broadbrush us.

[godai]

8. We won't back down.

If Clinton wants to drag this out, so be it. In the meantime, it's business as usual (clearly so on the Clinton side...'white' comments).

[Mags]

12. business as usual.

[godai]

22. Yes, Hillary's only hope...Drag it out and hope for an Obama scandal.

How inspiring!

[Mags]

32. Why are you folk sooo scared to let it play out? I think she is

very inspiring to me and other women, she is so strong and tough and not a quitter like John Kerry.

[godai]

41. We have no fear. How long do you want to wait? n/t

[Mags]

55. until it is over. Let the vote go forward. Remember Fla. with Gore

God, we wanted every vote to count, now the BO folk wants to stop the vote. Why?

[godai]

62. The delay helps McCain. I believe that it will be over on May 20.

We can wait until then or some other specific date. I think Hillary will drop out before then, at the urging of her supporters.

[Mags]

67. I a small supporter, but I would tell her to never drop out.

[Cha]

9. We're BACK to hilary lying her fucking head off

again..did she even take a break?

[SoFlaJet]

90. yea she did actually zidzi

yesterday...she had to meet uncommitted supers yesterday so she had to pretend she was a uniter not a divider. Well that was yesterday, today it's back to business as usual-the innuendo and sly remark game.

[DrDan]

11. I hope they have the same passion when it comes to mccain

[northzax]

31. Many of them won't sad to say

primaries are always the nastiest fights, just ask the republicans. Hell hath no fury like a sibling rivalry. That fight will be about issues, with a clear line separating the candidates. This one is about personality. Plus, they won't be able to fight it out on anonymous message boards. there are good solid policy reasons to oppose mccain, ones we all agree on. When's the last time you read a post about either candidate's policies?

[PoliticalAmazon]

35. Uh, it's Hillary who is the McCain collaborator. n/t

[DrDan]

60. I know - policy comparisons have been out the window for months

It is hard to believe the division created on this site. And the lack of civility is just draining.

Sadly it goes beyond the candidates. Anyone supporting a rival candidate is "the enemy" and also open to attack. Winning is everything. Principles are out the window if they get in the way of winnning.

[sandnsea]

13. There is no low she won't sink to

and her supporters just keep making excuses for her. I thought you guys liked fighters, that's all we're doinng since she won't quit. What gives now??

[butterfly77]

14. I never said that I would or would not call her names but...

I laid off from commenting on her shenanigans but today, I see she hasn't gotten the message so she is asking for it... She is very unreasonable she knows it too, Shame on you Hillary! Shame on you!

[Lucky 13]

15. Well, she keeps doing RACIST, DESPERATE, DELUSIONAL, SICKENING SHIT!!

Are we to just ignore it?

Get real.

[2rth2pwr]

16. And a whole campaign of unity from their candidate.

[ampad]

17. I never called for Unity

If I remember correctly it was Hillary supporters telling us to "please be nice to them" or Obama wouldn't get their vote. Boo Hoo, Hillary open up her mouth and once again something stupid comes out. I'm trying to figure out how that is my fault.

[highplainsdem]

18. Did it last a day?

And now they want to shut down all discussion before Obama has the nomination and make this UNdemocratic Underground.

[Mags]

61. I think they are like BO in a debate, scared shitless.

[kentuck]

19. Some might even suggest she is trying to bribe the Party...

Because she knows the Party does not want the division of going all the way to the Convention before it is settled. Rumors abound about paying off her personal debt as well as her campaign debt. Is it just a cynical ploy to raise more money from her supporters before she officially drops out? At what point is there diminishing returns?

[Mags]

71. I am totally surprised at you, Kentuck, for some reason

over the last 7 yrs. I have been on this board you seems reasonable. Now you even seem to be so cynical. That is a rumor, nothing more, if you have proof give us a link, please.

[redqueen]

23. VERY FEW are claiming she's a racist.

Most are just suspicious that she's exploiting racism to her benefit. If her campaign hadn't started in about all the "white voters" that won't vote for Obama, well... we wouldn't be talking about it, would we?

Put the blame where it belongs.

Jesus.

[BlueStater]

So mentioning a fact is playing the race card?

And Obama and his supporters has never played the race card before? Give me a break. There were people here whining about how Bill Clinon's "fairy tale" comment was racist.

[redqueen]

50. It's not a fact.

He has won several predominantly-white states. What she's doing now defies logic.

[JuniperLea]

24. No, and I think I know why...

One exceedingly brilliant DUer just clued me in, and she is spot fucking on!


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5887965&mesg_id=5888400

[redqueen]

40. Bullshit. It's due to that "white voters" crap. (nt)

[JuniperLea]

47. I think it's about time we ignore "crap"

And unite against the REAL CRAP, McCain.

If Obama supporters are so convinced the deal is done, why not start with the real work already?

[redqueen]

54. Why not ask the same of the ones provoking people with this kind of bullshit?

Why do you always focus on Obama's supporters?

[JuniperLea]

56. I don't!

There are just more of you here, so it appears that way!

Check for yourself... look at all the thread currently in GD:P... how many are pro-Hillary? Damn few!

[redqueen]

63. There is THIS fucking STUPID ASS thread.

This thread paints Obama's supporters as some monolithic entity.

It doesn't take a fucking brain surgeon to figure out that SOME of his supporters want to unite, and SOME are still DISGUSTED enough by this fucking bullshit to not be able to just sit back and let it roll off our backs without comment.

So yeah... but you didn't say that to the person who started this fucking bullshit thread, did you?

[JuniperLea]

72. You're right, and I should have

I was going with the flow, because I'm tired of this shit. Sorry for the slip.

[redqueen]

80. Sorry for blowing my top.

I was one of the people who thought that we actually could look forward to some unity... and then we get this fucking racist bullshit "white voters" crap... and WE'RE bashed for reacting to it?

Fucking beyond tiring, this is.

[JuniperLea]

87. It takes a lot of effort

And we are all exhausted. I still think this is an evil GOP plot to divide us...

[redqueen]

91. I doubt the person who posted the OP is a Republican.

People who post simple-minded BS like this are just not thinking very clearly. Not every Obama supporter was on board with the unity stuff... just like not every Clinton supporter thinks the same way about anything.

*sigh*

[JuniperLea]

92. I get ya... I just mean...

This division within the party... hard to believe we did it to ourselves... I want an evil GOP plot to be the cause.

[redqueen]

94. *sigh*

Yeah...

Oh well, right?

Won't be for too much longer... HOPEfully! :hug:

[JuniperLea]

96. Back at ya...

:hug:

[BlueStater]

75. Wow. Calm down.

It's more than "some". Since January, this place has basically become a septic tank full of ridiculous, over-the-top attacks on Hillary Clinton. As someone who never even supported her, I'm disgusted by these attacks and take special fucking offense to her being called a racist. For all the whining about what a nasty campaign she's run, those are REAL swiftboating tactics.

[redqueen]

78. The FACT is that hardly ANY have called her a racist.

It is her TACTICS that are the target, the vast majority of the time.

Time to retire that strawman. Nobody's buying it.

[highplainsdem]

51. Thanks for the link, Juniperx!

I hadn't seen that reply.

[tekisui]

25. She's still fighting. SO are we........

[EnviroBat]

39. This is not "Fighting" that she's doing.

It's conniving, desperate, slimy, groveling to her last breath of a shitty campaign run with a republican play book the whole way to the bottom. It's pathetic, disgusting, and weak.

No thanks Hillary, we don't need your brand of "Fighting". Just go away now...

[JuniperLea]

64. Neener neener... she won't quit hitting me so I MUST HIT BACK

Johnny did it first! Billy jumped of the bridge, why can't I?


Genius.

[AllentownJake]

26. We made a mistake yesterday

We thought Hillary had the class to do the right thing. It's like lucy with the football....she gets us everytime.

[FlaGranny]

89. I even liked her speech yesterday.

I had a feeling she was going to do the right thing. I won't be fooled by her again.

[RB TexLa]

28. Unity? All I saw was calls of "You get get your ass in line now or you get the f*#% out!"

[redqueen]

43. You missed a lot. (nt)

[izzybeans]

34. NO ONE (save for the honest few) answered the call.

deal with it.

[JackORoses]

36. our calls for unity were drowned out by Hillary's cries of "The Whites won't vote for him!!!"

[MonkeyFunk]

38. You forgot the nazi salute

there's a feeding frenzy going on here. A blind, sweaty orgy of lies and hate that's just getting worse and worse.

[redqueen]

58. Did you see the Obama supporters bashing that thread?

Did you see this?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5862900&mesg_id=5864642

Please, show me ONE TIME when you've bothered to say anything to anyone posting such racist bullshit.

Otherwise, spare us the myopia of ONLY seeing what you want to.

[MonkeyFunk]

79. I have defended Obama many times in the past

from assholes.

But there's no denying that this board is caught in a downward spiral of hate and lies. It's getting worse each day. But you're right in the middle of it, so I don't expect you to notice.

[redqueen]

82. Yes, you accused me of being a shameless liar earlier,

then wouldn't respond when I asked you to defend your take on those comments.

And now you seem to be accusing me of being part of a "downward spiral of hate and lies" when all it REALLY is is a reaction to the GUTTER tactics she's CONTINUING to employ DESPITE being pretty much out of the race.

Forget it. No point trying to reason with someone who makes accusations and won't defend them...

[MonkeyFunk]

99. I didn't see your response

there are a LOT of clinton-bashing threads here. It's hard to keep up with all of them.

[skipos]

59. I agree, Hillary just can't stop lying.

Have you heard the latest?

"I personally did not think it made any difference whether my name was on the ballot. You know, It's clear this election they are having is not going to count for anything." - Hillary , before she realized she needed MI

"I have consistently said that the votes cast in Florida and Michigan in January should be counted." - Hillary, now that she thinks she needs MI

I would love for someone to show me a quote prior to MI where she says the votes cast should be counted.

[MonkeyFunk]

84. And Obama wants 59 delegates

from an election he didn't run in.

But we're talking about the vicious spiral of lies and hate going on here today. It's worse than FreeRepublic ever was - you guys have gone positively rabid.

[skipos]

93. But, as it may pain you to see, that isn't a lie.

Obama may be asking for something unfair, as Hillary is, but he isn't lying about it like Hillary. Do you live in MI? I do, and I know what the candidates were saying about us right before our primary. The Clintons didn't give a FUCK.

I asked you before and you didn't answer... by "you guys" do you mean "people who use to vote for, send money to and defend the Clintons but are tired of their lies?" That is certainly me. Or by "you guys" do you mean "people who used to support Richardson, Biden and then Edwards, but realize that Obama is going to be our nominee and would like to see him beat McCain?" That's me too.

[newmajority]

42. Hillary is the one destroying the unity of this party

Just as she and the DLC have always done.

[theboss]

46. There was no ceasefire!

Look...I think every Obama supporter wants this over and wants to welcome Hillary back - though a lot of us will never really trust her again.

But she's back on the campaign so the fight carries on.

If she wants to end the battle, it will end. If she doesn't, that's fine too.

[SoonerPride]

52. They are her words

Let her explain them

[Teaser]

53. yeah I know! Anyhow, why does your candidate keep doing that shit?

.

[reflection]

57. Well, to be fair,

Hillary did spend yet another day being racist, desperate, delusional and sickening, so she has to share in some of the blame.

[EFerrari]

65. It would help our pitch if she cut it out but you can't have everything. n/t

[shomino]

66. How does an entire campaign of low-road distraction politics...

suddenly turn into Hillary being the victim?

Have I stepped into some sort of Clinton twilight zone where they can have it both ways? Where she can say that John McCain and Hillary "bring a lifetime of experience" to the table and Obama has nothing but a "speech", but then SHE is the one being "unfairly attacked"?

The funny thing is Obama has been very measured and low-key in his responses to her direct attacks. I think you are seeing the backlash from his supporters because they are tired of Hillary's tactics which are not at all based on real issues, just distractions from them. Not to mention out and out lies saying he has a "lack of experience", which is utter B.S..

[redqueen]

70. That is the ONLY thing her campaign is actually good at...

playing the victim, and teaching others how to do it.

[SoonerPride]

68. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

Go make me some pie!

[stillcool]

73. Funny how things change...

whenever Hillary opens her mouth and spouts support along racial/class divide. You would think we are the Democratic Party of uneducated blue collar whites.

[AtomicKitten]

74. And the notion that Hillary would play nice didn't last long either, did it?

I assure you your outrage is directly commensurate with mine.

[Straight Shooter]

77. They were just emotionally constipated yesterday.

There was never any doubt they could hold it longer than 24 hours, if that.

[book_worm]

81. Maybe because Hillary is showing no sign of getting out of the race and endorsing the nominee.

[BlueStater]

83. So what? She can run as as long as she wants.

If Obama is so inevitable, why do you even care?

[redqueen]

85. Not all Obama supporters care... many think she should decide when to quit.

But we didn't expect her to continue with the gutter tactics.

Guess that "naive" insult hurled at us so often fits for me today.

*sigh*


on edit: I'm one of the ones who thinks it's her call, and that people should stop with the threads about why she should quit, just for the record.

[underpants]

86. If she had done what she should have there wouldn't be a problem

[scheming daemons]

88. Check out indimuse and prodn2000's latest threads (two Clinton supporters) and then STFU

[karynnj]

97. Ask yourself, "What did Bill and Hillary do yesterday?"

Could it be called desperate?

[Perry Logan]

98. If a candidate's supporters call you a racist, would you want to work for that candidate?

If the Obamites play chess, I'll bet they're not very good. They obviously don't think very far ahead.
