Why are Obama supporters so sensitive?

[Catherine Vincent]

Any comment that is made about Obama and you guys get all hysterical.

[ingac70]

1. Because he is going to be the nominee...

and some "Democrats" think it is funny to give ammo to Republicans.

[Horse with no Name]

3. Get fucking real

They have all the ammo they need. Don't fool yourself into thinking any differently.

[Hawkeye-X]

5. Then why are you continuing to support a scumbagette?

One is pondering right now.

13. Funny--I feel exactly the same way about your candidate

Except add slimy to that and well...you get the drift.

[Hawkeye-X]

23. Wellllllllllllllllll...

On the other hand.. My guy's squeaky clean. He's fully vetted of Rezko and Pastorgate. What about *YOUR* slimy candidate? She's not very forthcoming on the following:

1) Her 2000-2006 taxes
2) Bill's donor list
3) Her earmarks

Obama, on the other hand, has released everything to the public (or will so this week), so you don't have much of a leg to stand on...

EDIT: Oh I must add this - she has NO reason to delay her 2000-2006 taxes either - don't give me any excuse for her.

32. Your guy just hasn't been caught

Hence...slimy.
And...btw...MY candidate is Edwards...you know, the one you and your ilk frothed at the mouth to have him quit the race?
Yeah...him.
Personally, I don't give a rat's ass about the tax returns. I really don't. I suspect you don't either but it gives you something to lather about.

[Hawkeye-X]

38. Hold on - I was a strong Edwards supporter..

It wasn't even until Feb 5th caucus that I had to reluctantly switch my support to Obama. If your candidate isn't Hillary - I offer my full apologies for the subthread and offer a truce and end this subthread now.

[durrrty libby]

42. "continuing to support a scumbagette?" Didn't know you were running

for something.:shrug:

[JoFerret]

59. Why do you need to so abuse someone you think you have defeated?

It's called being a sore winner and it is VERY unattractive.

[depakid]

9. LOL -do you think the Republican need any ammo we "give to them?"

They're quite adept at what they do and have their own arsenal that's far dirtier and used more devastatingly than anything you'll hear on this site...

[JoFerret]

60. Rev. Wright has just handed them all they need and more

.

[calimary]

43. Might it also be that they're sensitive because of the generations of beatings,

either literal or figurative, that they, or their fellows, have endured during the long, agonizing slog toward full equality? I'd be pretty sensitive, too. In fact, I am. As a woman, who's seen my kind relegated to second-class status since the creation story was first written down (probably by some man).

[twelve roses]

47. Obama supporters give ammo to Republicans

The times you have belittled and smeared the Clintons are many. I lost count.

[Forkboy]

48. One of the fastest self outings ever.

3 posts and you know all about the poster.

Wait, I'm sure you've "lurked for years". Sorry.

[JoFerret]

58. Sore winners in that case

It will be interesting to see whether some Obama folk have the sense and grace to reach out to Clinton supporters should he win the nomination.


if he is indeed headed for victory - why aren't they being pleasanter?

[adoraz]

2. don't you mean Clinton supporters?

[Catherine Vincent]

7. No, I don't. nt

[Forkboy]

4. Why are both sides blind to their own behavior?

Any comment made about either and you guys get all hysterical.

[cali]

6. inane. I could easily write the same thing about Hilly supporters

and it would still be the same vapid generalization. I hate stupid.

[JVS]

8. Hysterical is SEXIST!

[LaurenG]

15. Yes, yes I heard that too!

and so is monster. :rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. ROFL

Nice.

[polichick]

27. I'm enraged!!!

[NDambi]

10. Not sensitive at all....not all. I'm comfortable with his lead.

[SunsetDreams]

11. I'm not sensitive...

except to untruths.

[walldude]

12. Yes and Hillary supporters are the epitome of grace and

calm... :eyes:

[Catherine Vincent]

21. I wouldn't say that.

But you guys do get overly defensive when it comes to Obama. And a lot of times, they are not attacks.

[cali]

26. opinion is not fact, dear. Do try and learn the difference.

[JuniperLea]

40. Still condescending I see...

:eyes:

You do your candidate no good at all.

[LTR]

39. You've gotten pretty riled up yourself dealing with Clinton attacks

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5128089&mesg_id=5128296

Pot, meet kettle.

[Catherine Vincent]

45. Obama doesn't get attacked nearly as much as Hillary.

Don't even try it.

[LTR]

53. Why are you Clinton supporters so sensitive?

Kinda kills your thread, don't it?

[Arugula Latte]

24. Don't you love it when they gracefully and calmly call us "cultists"?

That's so endearing.

[Divine Discontent]

14. the initial poor behavior was from both sides..

it's escalated on the Clinton side (thanks to the former president's poor behavior), and for that matter, this question of yours is another dousing of fuel on the fire.

It's like saying, 'Why are Clinton supporters so sensitive when we tell them their candidate has a .001% of getting the nomination?'

[Nitrogenica]

16. FOX news has been hysterical for 16 years.

[Breeze54]

17. Why do you insist on finger pointing and fanning the fires?

Are you bored? tired? lacking direction? Is that there aren't any other
more important things going on in the world that you have to continually
pick at the scab? Hmmmm? What's your motive in posting this OP besides
trying to start another fight and sow more hurt feelings? Grow up.

[cottonseed]

18. I see Obama supporters attacking lies agressively.

That's sort of a good thing in my view. I don't see sensitivity there, I think it's part of the tough stuff the old guard Hillary supporters have been telling them about.

[rug]

19. The same reason eighth grade girls are. Insecure.

[Catherine Vincent]

28. I think you hit on something. nt

[Breeze54]

31. I think that was directed at you.... and it went over your head,

:P

[Catherine Vincent]

33. I don't think so.

You guys shouldn't be so insecure. Obama will probably win the nomination.

[Breeze54]

36. Who is "You Guys"???

Are you including me in that uninformative comment?

Can you read?

You are a shit starter, a bully and an immature jerk, imho.

As I stated above... Grow up.

[rug]

37. Q.E.D.

[Adelante]

22. How silly

Clinton supporters are no different than Obama supporters. They just like to think so.

[QC]

25. Because it's fun to play the martyr!

[LTR]

[Raine]

50. True

I don't see that this is exclusive to only one side.

[Johnny__Motown]

30. Only the lies

[goldcanyonaz]

34. It's been that way since New Hampshire. It gets worse anytime he loses a state too.

Of course they will argue that they haven't lost any state, because a loss is really a win for them.

Hillary's the devil and her supporters run around with little pitch forks trying to burst the Obama balloon.

Oh, and everything is always our fault, their candidate has NEVER done anything wrong.

[NeedleCast]

44. Luckily Obama losing states

doesn't happen very often.

[Whisp]

35. maybe because we are fed up with the Rove type politics

and didn't expect them from a so called democrat?

[GhostofSandpiper]

41. Because he's our "Imaginary Hip Black Friend"

Just like the Clinton camp said in one of their non-race baiting moments.

[JoFerret]

62. Sounds like Colbert

But dead on anyway.

[bagimin]

46. Probably our superior intellect

[Raine]

49. Cause the only person it helps is

MacCain. :puke:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

51. Cause Of A Four Letter Word: Starts With CU, Ends With T,

And it rhymes with dolt.

hehehe

[Skittles]

56. LOL

:thumbsup:

[Catherina]

52. We're probably a tad upset about, you know, Hillary's war.

Better to be sensitive and care about our fellow human beings than to have hearts of stone and walk all over Hillary's millions of victims again and again, spinning lies, treating this election like some football game and remaining impervious to their cries, uncaring of their pain.



I'll take sensitive any day.

[Catherine Vincent]

55. "..treating this election like some football game "

You got it. Obama supporters.

[splat]

57. Projection alert! Women don't see life or campaigns as football games

[EmilyAnne]

54. I think there are sensitive people supporting both candidates. The Republicans have made such an

unbelievable mess of our country over the last 8 years, that I think we all fell like we've been through the wringer. We all believe that so much more is riding on this election than ever before, so we're all passionate about the person we think will be able to fix things, whether we think that person is Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. I think that's why there is so much sensitivity on both sides. It all comes from a very desperate place: we're desperate to get our country out of this gutter the Republicans made.

[KAZ]

63. Your reply should be a thread of its own!

[RememberWellstone]

61. Victim election

They believe they should win the election by default and if anyone challenges that, they go cuckoo.

[cooolandrew]

64. As from women it is upsetting to see such aggressive tactics used on a good man I associate the

female nature with softness kindness and comapassion. If the women wanna do yang then we have to do ying. Although the whole world probaly needs awhole less aggression.

[PresidentObama]

65. Please stop. I used to hear this about Edwards supporters. A horrible talking points.

Accusing a side of supporters of being "soft" and "sensitive"
