As an Obama supporter, I so take back everything I have said about HRC supporters

[hatredisnotavalue]

I have defended you every way to Thursday. I have told people that we are united and it's just trumpeted up msm propaganda. But on Saturday at the Maine convention, I couldn't believe my eyes. You people are just bizarre. Do you really think you are supporting Hillary when you do stuff like this?

We were walking by the Somerset County
>bus to take delegates to the off site location after we met
>you and there was this elderly man we know looking for a ride.
>The guy is like 100 yo, handicapped and could barely stand.
>When he attempted to board the bus, he was told he couldn't
>get on it because he was an Obama delegate.
>
>The four of us spanned out trying to find the guy a ride. We
>were Penobscot delegates and were caucusing on site, but of
>course one of us would have volunteered to drive him. I went

>found the poor man a ride.

>I still can't believe the pettiness of it. If it has been

1. You lost me at You People

:eyes:

[hatredisnotavalue]

3. sorry you are right

I hate when people lump others in a category.. I apologize.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. The few supporters that have stuck with Hillary are a disgusting lot

[emilyg]

10. Clinton supporter here

Sorry you feel that way. I wouldn't dream of trying to change your mind.

[hatredisnotavalue]

18. do you think that was acceptable what they did with the buses?n/t

[emilyg]

22. I don't have the full story.

Just what's posted on DU - which I always take with a grain of salt.

[Enrique]

42. I do

as a Hillary supporter, I hate the elderly.

[StevieM]

21. I've given up on them Emily. They don't realize that they are following a modern-day

Joseph McCarthy. They think they are ushering in a revolution.

So did the McGovernites.

The difference is that this was supposed to be our year. I can't believe the way that Obama has ruined our party with his campaign of hatred and disunity.

44. Oh the irony. How he has divided the party by winning!!! The hatred? Like saying that the elections

are similar to those of a third-world dictatorial country like Zimbabwer because the elections aren't going his way? Oh wait...

Nah it must have been the many times he has insulted Clinton and called her on her tactics- you know the guy is never gracious to her...

[StevieM]

45. Please. He dominated the caucuses--end of story (eom)

[leftofcool]

15. I love being disgusting, so thanks for the compliment

[Beacool]

32. You're too funny!!

You mean perchance all those millions who have voted for her, plus the 263,120 who voted for her today?

[psychmommy]

38. that 200, 000 that can't vote in the general.

it's the math not the map. true dems will work to get the nominee elected.

[Rockholm]

37. Count me as "DISGUSTING" then.

[pnwmom]

41. There are millions of them and we shouldn't be trying to alienate them now.

It's just plain stupid.

[MadMaddie]

4. This is what divisive politics gets us.....decency and respect

is thrown out of the window for petty, selfish and destructive people like you have described.

I truly believe that not all Hillary supporters are this vindictive but the loud rude "supporters" are getting their 15 minutes of notice.

Kudos to the you and the other folks that helped the elderly gentleman.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

24. I second those comments.

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. No doubt there are some sympathetic types here.

That are going to get swept up in the Obamania purge.

Avoid casting the "petty" "selfish" and "destructive" stones in the glass house that DU has become.

[AlCzervik]

5. that's pretty sad, i drive my elderly rw neighbors to the polling place because

if i didn't they wouldn't have a way to get there. "I'm not voting for one your people missy!" whatever, get in the car Frank and shut the door.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

17. "whatever, get in the car Frank and shut the door" LOL

That cracked me up! :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

19. he's a real piece of work, it was bad when i had a Honda-"I fought those people in ww2"

and when i got my VW he went in to complete vapor lock, "Nice Kraut car, i'm sure Hitler is smiling at you from hell" Ok Frank, get in shut the door.

[hatredisnotavalue]

6. Again..I so apologize...it was mean of me to lump people into one category

i was just venting

[avenger64]

7. Yeah, anecdotes trump everything ...

... I tell you what, if it had been Chris Matthews and the rest of the media carrying Obama on their shoulders, they would have called him a limo.

[BeatleBoot]

8. "You People"

:rofl:

[emilyg]

16. Who are "You People". ?

Are they outside of the UNITED States of America?

[shadowknows69]

36. They infest internet boards mostly

[Ian David]

9. After what I have seen here on DU, the Obama-Bashers can all go to hell. n/t

[apocalypsehow]

11. What you said. n/t.

[leftofcool]

12. "You People" No credibility, sorry

[hatredisnotavalue]

20. don't you think you should do something about this?

[hatredisnotavalue]

13. Just so you know...

I could have gone either way....Obama was fine as was Hillary..

[xchrom]

14. yeah -- i know what you mean -- i feel the same about obamanation. nt

[hatredisnotavalue]

23. don't you think someone should tell the national campaign about this?

I am sure HRC would not want this to be happening.

[hatredisnotavalue]

25. kick

[slinkerwink]

27. I'm deaf. The Hillary supporters at the RBC wouldn't move over to let me get a seat near the front.

[yourguide]

28. Really?

Is that true Slinkerwink?

[slinkerwink]

35. yes.

[hatredisnotavalue]

30. sorry..what is rbc

[slinkerwink]

34. rules and bylaws committee meeting

[Beacool]

29. One story?

Listen, if I posted the dozens of cheating, nasty behavior of Obama's people in the caucus states, we would be here all night.

[hatredisnotavalue]

33. Wow I am so naive...

I have not heard of any nasty Obama stories. I have not heard of one nasty Hilllay story.I was so in lala land until yesterday. I realy though it was a msm thing.

[Cheap_Trick]

43. you're here all night anyway

So please, spin your yarns to your heart's content.

[jbm]

31. I don't know about Maine..

but I was a Hillary delegate at the state convention in Missouri and the rules were crazy. Hillary delegates couldn't help hand out Obama delegate packets, and vice versa. There were roped off areas where only credentialed delegates for a specific candidate were allowed to enter. I suspect that it wasn't rudeness, but rules, or confusion over the rules that kept the man off the Hillary delegate bus, and those rules come from some level of the party, not the candidates.

To me the whole process was a waste of time, and incredibly inefficient. My impression was that whoever organized it didn't really understand the purpose or the process, so there was no direct path to a specific goal. Just a whole lot of rules and red tape. On the plus side, the night before there was free booze. Hmmmm...maybe THAT was the problem!

For what its worth, had I seen an Obama person trying to enter a restricted Hillary area, I would have helped them!

[barack the house]

39. It was distressing to see but I won't judge all Hillary supporters by the protesters.

[Enrique]

40. yes, Hillary supporters are less kind and helpful than Obama supporters

our preference for a different candidate makes us worse people than y'all.
