(45,319 posts)blame the candidate for things said by others. As a LGBT person, I'm here to tell you that in 08 my very first visit to an Obama site, and it was his own, I saw comments that made my blood boil, I will not even repeat them here. The comments might have been from actual gay hating Obama supporters but probably not. Either way they were not from Obama.
I have also encountered Hillary supporters who were less than supportive 'civil unions, maybe if they are not allowed to call it marriage' and 'those people just complain until they get everything'. Could have been real supporters who are jerks, could also have been ratfuckers.
For one great way to fuck that rat is to say 'I support Jones and I hate all of you'. Many, many people exploit candidates for their own agendas and at times people pose as supporters of a candidate in order to characterize those supporters poorly. The 'social vs economic' debate was wholly manufactured by such posters. These people have malicious intention.
