Y'all know I'm one of the biggest asshole Hillary supporters...

[trumad]

But I gotta say---the old Bernie has his hand on a super models ass is possibly the stupidest thing I've read this whole primary cycle.

Seriously---both sides have posted some stupid shit the last couple of months--unfortunately I think my side just won that contest.

[metroins]

1. Agreed nt

[Hiraeth]

2. omg. I just rec'd a trumad OP.

[NWCorona]

4. +1!

[Hiraeth]

14. !

[Faux pas]

6. Yeah

me too

[Hiraeth]

16. !

[villager]

44. hell, for the utter rarity of being able to do so myself, I guess I'd better rec, too. nt

[Hiraeth]

47. it may be the only chance you'll get ...

[villager]

48. Likely. Went and rec'd.

[whatchamacallit]

54. Same. My hand was shaking tho.

[Hiraeth]

57. lol

[840high]

71. heehee - me2

[FSogol]

3. I assumed it was a joke. Surprised today that is still an outrage.

[trumad]

5. No..

History tells me it was not a joke.

[MineralMan]

28. Of course it was a joke.

Amazing...

[FSogol]

33. Nobody wants to be the butt of a joke....

PS. You caused a lot of folks to lose their frickin' minds.

[MineralMan]

34. I guess many didn't see the humor...

Oh, well...

[FSogol]

35. Chuck Jones said it best

[panader0]

50. You must have seen the humor--you recommended your own post.

[polly7]

56. You posted it for the outrage you hoped it would get, not any humour. You're fooling no-one. nt.

[Logical]

72. Bullshit on the humor, you knew what you were doing. Nt

[whatchamacallit]

55. Haha bullshit

[KingFlorez]

7. Some people are fed up with the crap from BS

[trumad]

12. Picture taking?

[KingFlorez]

42. I mean the overall attacks

One might say the photo issue is petty, but I think the race has gotten so nasty that pettiness is a response.

[frylock]

46. You ain't seen nothing yet.

If you're wadded about Bernie's "overall attacks", wait till you get a load of Trump.

[Orsino]

8. Don't worry about it.

There's still plenty of time left for us to find something sillier.

[Buzz Clik]

21. It's still early in the day...

By 8 o'clock this evening, the conversation will turn to voter fraud in Indiana.

[JudyM]

26. There you go again, same copy&paste comments.

[MoonRiver]

9. Wonder what Jane has to say about that "incident."

[Firebrand Gary]

10. It's lame and it's a distraction.

We've grown to the point where so many back and forth's have brought us to this foolishness. Sander's supporters on DU have been attacking Bill like crazy for awhile now, it's not hard to see why when an opportunity to return some of the dung arose, it wasn't passed on.

[KittyWampus]

11. Why do you think that post was from "your side"? SMH

It was stupid and now this thread is like #4 reacting to it.

[Codeine]

13. He just found a spot that was fabric instead of skin.

Frankly an awkward moment for anyone. Beats this guy.

[LuvLoogie]

58. It's the sweat stain that just brings it down.

[Armstead]

15. Pigs are flying --- I agree with trumad

[Buzz Clik]

17. Unfortunately, I was eliminated early (or, perhaps, declared an early winner)...

... for reposting a picture (not the original) and giving it a well-deserved sexually exploitative spin. I was given my 10th active hide for my trouble.

I think the whole thing is friggin' hilarious.

[aikoaiko]

18. Nope, as "one of the biggest asshole Hillary supporters" you still have all else beat.

But not by much.

Don't sell yourself short.

[Buzz Clik]

25. Hm. You bring up a good point. trumad and I should have a competition.

For the next month, he and I will see which of us can be the biggest asshole to you. On June 3, you can declare the winner.

[aikoaiko]

27. You'd be more competitive if you made more OPs like Trumad

[Buzz Clik]

29. He's got me there. I'm more of a guerrilla warrior. He likes the front lines.

[aikoaiko]

30. Word.

[onehandle]

19. I defended him.

[Buzz Clik]

22. ..

[NurseJackie]

20. In the "stupid shit" competition, that one was a definitely a big play ...

... but we're STILL wa-a-a-ay behind when it comes to the total score. I doubt we'll ever catch up. Time's running out!

[trumad]

24. Yes...LOL

[IdaBriggs]

23. Once the primaries are over, assuming the admins can find a way

to reconcile the TOS with the party split, we will hopefully return to enjoying the friendly curmudgeonly fun of a discussion board.

In the meantime, happy to Rec this post -- I didn't even open the thread you speak of, but it does sound stupid.

[floriduck]

31. Thank you for taking a stand on this. It is appreciated. nm

[TheCowsCameHome]

32. Agreed - talk about making a "nothing" issue...

...into something super-stupid.

[vintx]

36. Yep we know, you're an asshole

Sorry, just feeling nostalgic

[Sheepshank]

64. nostalgic? doesn't that imply tenure? n/t

[vintx]

65. Tenure? No.

I did post here from 2004 to 2014 under another name though.

[Sheepshank]

66. and you come back just in time to state you won't vote for the Hillary when she is the nominee.

how adorable.

[vintx]

68. What difference do you think it makes whether or not you believe me?

The fact is this place used to be almost universally against centrist repub lite bullshit, so I'm surprised to see so many people so excited to support her.

[Sheepshank]

69. it appears you care enough to explain....

....is there more or less support for Hillary this time or last time?

your surprise, surprises me.

[Hav]

37. I think no one took it seriously.

I don't think anyone really thought there was anything wrong about that picture. I believe that MineralMan made the thread as a response to similar threads about Hillary where only a picture was shown with questions like why is she here with xy? Is she yz? So it was rather fighting silliness with silliness. The fact that it blew up that fast shows the current status of GDP.

[Jitter65]

38. I thought it was just a joke. nt

[BootinUp]

39. I ignored that thread and yes it was stupid. Stupidest this primary?

Can't go along on that one, seems your trying to force an olive branch a little too hard there.

[Logical]

40. What a nice post, thank you! Nt

[NCTraveler]

43. Just one more reason to love you.

But I think the land owner argument takes the cake.

[disillusioned73]

45. lol..

it was silly.. but hey, itz primary season

[Bluenorthwest]

49. You are allies with the OP who posted that, which alwasy shocks me as I know you know the T.

nt

[Kelvin Mace]

51. Well, I wouldn't call you an "asshole"

but I agree that anyone pushing this "grab-ass" smear IS an asshole. As is anyone pushing any anti-HRC claims that are sourced from Fox/Politico/Limbaugh or retread material from the Arkansas Project.

[HassleCat]

52. Nah!

That one is so ridiculous it's funny.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

53. Uhhhh, Go Bernie Go! I guess?

[bettyellen]

59. agreed and hated seeing it led to some tit for tat sexism here. there is no excuse for that either.

[The Second Stone]

60. Well, I'm a bigger Hillary supporter and asshole

and at first I thought that was the bullshittiest bullshit flung against any candidate this cycle. I mean, where is he supposed to put his hand if not around her waist? On her buttcrack? But I took another look at it, another look at him, and another look at her waist and damn if I wasn't suddenly jealous of the lovable old coot, channeling my inner Bill and thinkin' "damn, that feels nice just looking at it, I hope Hillary isn't watchin'."

That was when I realized that not only would Bernie get away with this actual groping, but that I would get away with vicariously enjoying it, and that it was all Hillary's fault for putting up it in the first place. No self-respecting woman would allow her spouse's opponents husband to put his leacherous old hand around the waist of some hussy young thing. I'd never vote for a woman who would let her opponent do this! This made me realize that underneath my thin veneer of civilized Hillary supporting asshole, that I'm really just Donald Trump with less debt and better hair and manners.

[azurnoir]

61. ya know what's really embarrassing about that OP?

The guy who wrote it is Democratic party honcho in my city, oh and he wants to make voting my state more restrictive too

Is this what the Party has become?

[trumad]

62. Democratic party honcho?

Check harder.

[azurnoir]

63. I don't have to I know and I said city not state

unless he resigned because Bernie won the state quite handily

[R B Garr]

67. omg, it was obviously kidding.

Maybe you haven't noticed the endless random pictures of Hillary posing with someone in her vicinity and malice is attributed to everything about it.

It was a obviously a joke. Good Lord.

[Tarc]

70. Oh I don't actually care about Buttgate as a thing, it was just a poking-fun moment

Like Hotsaucegate.

It was fun, esp to see the Sanders ppl get so worked up about it.

[ibegurpard]

73. you didn't need to continue past the thread title

But I do agree
