4464463, To the HIllHounds of DU... I hope you are pleased with yourselves. A Rant!

And no... Im not talking to all Clinton supporters... just those whose single purpose is to suck every last bit of optimism from every Obama fan. Hounds of Hill... you know who you are.

I worked my ASS of to get every young 20 something person I know involved in the political process this year. And as I now regret... I sent them all to DU. Now Ive gotten FOUR phone calls today... from young Obama supporters... some of them IN TEARS over the shit they've read on this board.

Imagine being a young, enthusiastic, NON-politically hardened person and coming to a "Democratic" board only to be accused of being brainwashed, braindead, or in a fucking cult. They say "if this is what politics is about, I dont want any part of it".

I cant BELIEVE I have to fucking defend these asshole posts on DU. You know... you can call ME whatever the fucking hell you want. Im impervious to the hatred. But the young people new to the political process are NOT. And YOU with you evil intended posts have single-handedly UNDONE everything Ive tried to do to build our party.

So I hope you're fucking pleased with yourselves. You've taken young Dems who just voted in their FIRST primary and turned them into people as bitter as you are. And is it my job now to convince them to vote for YOUR candidate? Why? You sure as hell havent.

And then theres Mr. bunnies. Its taken me TEN YEARS to get him politically active. At 35 years old he just voted in his FIRST primary. NOW he has the impression that half the fucking party loathes him. Great fucking job HillHounds. You win. I know five people you've beat down.

End of rant.

1. That is the silliest thing

I've read yet.

As a Hillary supporter I've been called dumb, white trash, racist, a drain on society and even worse.

If something on a message board makes you cry then you have other issues that need to be addressed by a mental health professional.

2. I replied to that OP.

I said something about 20-somethings crying indicated that they might
be too sensitive for politics (I forget exactly what I said, but I wasn't rude).

The OP responded, saying "60-somethings."

Huh?
