Obama supporters tired of the "cult meme": 'Get over it and lighten up!'
"Stop the 'faux outrage'! Don't worry, it's not being talked about anywhere else but at DU."

3. that's one of the little New Hampshire Bear's
favorite occupation, hating on Obama and trolling. It's an obsessive little bear.

4. LOL!
You're right, of course. I don't think they're a cult. But there is something going on with them and their strong support for Obama. I kinda like it though because we're goanna need that strong support when we go after the republicans if he wins the nomination.

The Obama supporters are so strong for him that he would probably have them singing "Say it loud, I'm black and I'm Proud!" and not realize what the bleep they are saying. :-)

7. Oh boy. You'd be pissed too if someone slapped you with a label that had such negative connotations

I'm not full of "faux" outrage...I'm pissed that you Hillary people are so freaking awful.

But believe me, I do think that you are representative of your candidate and that is NOT a compliment.

And I bet "lighten up" is the sort of thing you would say after you make an offensive racial or sexist joke.

11. Well, consider that a) I am not a "Hillary people" & b) you don't get the post.
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 03:09 PM by Bluebear
"Lighten up" what we gay folk were told after what YOUR candidate did when he hired "ex-gays" to appear on his behalf. That was pretty "awful" too!

8. Yes, they should just accept it as fact, get over it,
and lighten up. Those of us who are in the GLBT community (under the bus) sure have been told to lighten up and get over it enough.

12. I don't think most of them are "educated" enough to get the point.
I was informed yesterday I needed to be "educated" about Barack's background.

That photo is a stark reminder that I know everything about Barack I need to know. "Good enough for me but not for thee."
