193. again, you're continuing a fight from another thread

. . . it's clear as day who is attacking who here.

You don't deserve to call yourself a victim of my personal attacks. You've made more than a handful on this thread against me with impunity.

And you have NOT bothered to say ONE word to ANY other supporter than folks who dare discuss Hillary in a favorable light. You've been hypocritical on that point. Two posters have challenged you on this thread to produce ONE post where you castigate ANY other candidate supporter as 'boosters'. 'alienating', tea party' and the rest of the invectives you've used to dismiss and disparage folks who post anything favorable to Mrs. Clinton.

It's transparently hypocritical and it's almost impossible for me to believe you aren't doing it deliberately and knowingly. That's why you haven't produced ONE post of yours where you criticize ANY other candidate's supporter; just folks who post anything favorable to Hillary.

EVERYONE can see this.

That's another reason for the delegates! joshcryer Jun 2014 #37

Dear, not the only source nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #22

I'm objecting to the use of this one - in violation of the tos, I think, not my personal rule bigtree Jun 2014 #26

You question any source that puts any shadow on her, which is a problem nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #27

That's what many on DU are attempting to push as well Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #73

I always enjoy it when your bizarre and usually off-base constructs LordGlenconner Jun 2014 #126

How many Democrats wanted Obama in 2006? davidn3600 Jun 2014 #6

a good number, he had support groups around the country, you don't see that with JI7 Jun 2014 #8

Importantly, a challenger needs to step forward, now. joshcryer Jun 2014 #9

Pretty much this Lee-Lee Jun 2014 #83

You're right. On the other hand, neither can you. MineralMan Jun 2014 #102

Were you? Really? MineralMan Jun 2014 #113

What positive(s) in your opinion MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #118

I'm not stumping for Hillary. Nor am I paying any attention MineralMan Jun 2014 #120

So you attck me about x, then when I respond MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #136

There is no attack. MineralMan Jun 2014 #137

No, you weren't. Beacool Jun 2014 #145

A full 20% of the party are temporarily embarrassed Republicans, is this the Huntsman fan club? TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #18

well, to a site that is obviously more liberal than Hillary, it represents a challenge bigtree Jun 2014 #24

The site has little to do with it, it is reality that dictates actual solutions rather than diluting TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #60

you still need a candidate to express that bigtree Jun 2014 #89

Build it and they will come, destroy the viability of the Turd Way at every turn and someone will be TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #220

I'll consider that bigtree Jun 2014 #221

Most people polled don't know what fucking liberal means except by what they get from Ed Suspicious Jun 2014 #29

This is a poll of Democrats. Do you think that most Democrats get thier news from FOX? Walk away Jun 2014 #96

There WILL be a primary as long as there is someone willing to oppose her. pnwmom Jun 2014 #35

Here is the list nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #38

Then there will be a primary, no matter what Claire says. It seems silly pnwmom Jun 2014 #39

It was about the OP originally, not Claire nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #41

What difference does it make what CM says about this? pnwmom Jun 2014 #43

One rule of supporting a candidate is not alienating potential voters nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #45

The OP isn't "blowing a gasket" over an old story. The poll was just taken a few weeks ago. pnwmom Jun 2014 #52

Yes he is, you see, the story during the day nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #53

it's bad form for you to come on this thread and start a fight over another thread's nonsense bigtree Jun 2014 #56

If you want DU to be useful, you could start pnwmom Jun 2014 #59

just so you can stop this nonsense bigtree Jun 2014 #54

So you can stop this nonesense nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #55

by posting an article about a poll? bigtree Jun 2014 #58

Here is a really basic rule of marketing nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #129

do you worry that your attacks on anyone voicing any approval or defense of Clinton is 'annoying' bigtree Jun 2014 #140

Again, talking negatives is not an attack nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #143

Thank You! Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #154

Obviously you don't "get politics" zappaman Jun 2014 #170

that's probably true bigtree Jun 2014 #184

Does this apply to all the "boosterism" of supporters of Elizabeth Warren, pnwmom Jun 2014 #172

Given Elizabeth Warren has repeatedly told us nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #188

But I haven't seen you criticize the supporters of Warren for boosting her candidacy, pnwmom Jun 2014 #191

I have been consistent on that point nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #192

again, you're continuing a fight from another thread bigtree Jun 2014 #193

I am pushing back on your boosterism nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #194

But where is your pushback on the "boosterism" of supporters of other candidates? pnwmom Jun 2014 #197

Three people are doing it nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #199

It's not collective pushback if you only direct it at HRC supporters or posts about her. n/t pnwmom Jun 2014 #202

Give me original material nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #203

there it is again - 'boosterism' bigtree Jun 2014 #205

I am not going to stalk you nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #206

Since you are one if the donors nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #122

Sorry, but I have to disagree... brooklynite Jun 2014 #138

Nadine, I agree with you on paying attention to midterms.... moriah Jun 2014 #144

You have not seen them for one simple reason nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #148

So you admit that they haven't been attacked here. Thanks. n/t moriah Jun 2014 #164

It is difficult to talk negatives nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #167

I have seen many, many posters "boost" Elizabeth Warren, and they don't bother me pnwmom Jun 2014 #176

The quite a few is actually counted in the fingers of one hand nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #189

I thought you said you were an EMT. pnwmom Jun 2014 #174

And soooooo much more. zappaman Jun 2014 #183

Yes, that is one of the things I was nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #190

There is always a primary. There are always no-name folks on the ballot. Obama had em in 2012 stevenleser Jun 2014 #147

What kind of a question is that? Ask them if they want to ship more jobs overseas with the TPP, ask grahamhgreen Jun 2014 #42

I have to agree. The tactics being used are what has set me off. I want a Primary, I want candidates Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #78

posting a poll means I want to kill the primary? bigtree Jun 2014 #84
