The cult of personality that Hillary has crafted is striking

[Seen the light]

It really is remarkable seeing the Hillary supporters today like the woman in the firedoglake video. I'm sorry, but if you're going to vote for McCain over Obama because your candidate didn't win, that makes you a pathetic piece of shit. Since Senator Obama's stances are MUCH closer to Clinton's than McCain's are, the only reason why people would do such a thing is because of someone's personality.

I remember just a few months ago how I was accused of being a naive Obama cultist for supporting him. Remember that? How we were all cultists?

I look at Harriet Christian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KACQuZVAE3s) and all I can think of is one word....CULT.

1. I think that's where "monkey see, monkey do" really comes frrom..

Crazy monkey mind projects something onto another, then ends up DOing the very thing being
projected in the public square, to their own shame.

[tularetom]

2. I would change one letter in your impression of Ms Christian

CULL - I think she should be culled from polite society.

[boppers]

40. OOOhh. *That* letter.

My first thought was that, well...

:yoiks:


edit: tpyo

[PretzelWarrior]

3. since it's all about her and she loves money and attention

she should either start her own white evangelical church (she'd make a killing) or she should start her own syndicated show and become the White Oprah.

[leftofcool]

4. I vote for who I please and not who some nitwit on DU

tells me to vote for..........get it?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

5. So should we start calling you rightofcool now?

Since you're voting for McCain and all.

[leftofcool]

7. I will be casting my vote for Hillary Clinton

and what makes you think I give a flying fuck what you call me?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

9. Wow. You seem bitter.

I hope you feel better soon. :hi:

[OzarkDem]

12. Seems pretty smart

How sad that Obama and his supporters have so much hate for others in their hearts. We do pray for you.

[TahitiNut]

26. "We do pray for you"?? "We"?? Sure sounds like a cult to me. (Or pubic lice.)

:eyes:

[Jazzgirl]

28. LOL!

Tahiti, it is the "pubic lice".

[DemocratSinceBirth]

52. Do We Reallly Want To Go Down The " Public Lice" Road ?

Antisemitism is exactly the same as delousing. Getting rid of lice is not a question of ideology. It is a matter of cleanliness. In just the same way, antisemitism, for us, has not been a question of ideology, but a matter of cleanliness, which now will soon have been dealt with. We shall soon be deloused. We have only 20,000 lice left, and then the matter is finished within the whole of Germany.

37. You're running out of people on DU to attack.

[TahitiNut]

44. As a life-long independent liberal,

... it's a compliment coming from you. Choking on your bile yet? :hi:

[cliffordu]

39. Get that Pizza yet??

[undeterred]

48. ...

:rofl:

[leftofcool]

17. I feel great

and I am not one of those "bitter people who cling to guns and religion."

[mrreowwr_kittty]

23. Then I guess you weren't offended by Obama's remark.

That's good, because you would be really dumb if you were. And you don't want to be dumb, do you?

[leftofcool]

24. I don't give a shit what he says

[GoesTo11]

51. It's dumb to be an offense-taking machine

Everyone is going to say something sometime that someone could perceive as offensive. If you're looking for it, you can always be the victim and hold a grudge. Be concerned about what people do. Be concerned about what people keep saying. Don't have to try to psychoanalyze every syllable ever uttered.

[apocalypsehow]

32. Funny, your profile says you live in Maryland. I thought they already had their primary?

:shrug:

[Median Democrat]

43. In the next NY Senate Election?

Or, are you counting on Hillary's threats to Obama?

[AllentownJake]

6. Harriet is that you?

[Brundle_Fly]

16. this is DEMOCRATIC

underground, not vote for the republican underground. Read the rules.

[leftofcool]

19. Go piss up a rope

[Brundle_Fly]

21. I will piss up a rope

if you don't vote for mccain.

[apocalypsehow]

41. You are an angry, unpleasant human being, indeed. I'd get that checked out. n/t.

:thumbsdown:

[rusty quoin]

8. I actually understand that woman Harriet Christian...

or better said I know people like her. They are my relatives. I fear they will not vote for Obama in the general, and I cannot change their minds. I am guessing they make excuses for not voting for him. There are so many levels involved. I know my dad will vote for him though he is for Hillary. He is a true Democrat. But others have this thing about Obama I cannot figure out. I think they make excuses like he is sexist, which I had never seen, maybe to cover for his being black. I am not a psychologist, but I believe that is the reason. They have experienced what they had. I think Obama's race speech in Phili talked about this problem perfectly.

[OzarkDem]

11. Rev Wright, Rev Pfleger

just two examples of why Clinton supporters don't like Obama. We simply don't share the same values.

Is it true that Axelrod was actually working on a documentary of Pfleger? How much of a misogynist bigot is he?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

14. Mark Penn, Richard Mellon Scaife, Doug Coe

I'll take Wright and Pfleger over them any day of the week.

[rusty quoin]

15. OzarkDem, I actually think we all share the same values.

It is getting lost in the translation. There is nothing extreme except on the Republican side. I wish we all could see it.

[OzarkDem]

31. No, I don't think we do

The Dem Party doesn't stand for misogyny, sexism or bigotry of any kind.

[boppers]

45. Ozark, are you sure that video is the one you intended to link to?

It doesn't exactly portray Hillary in a positive light...

[apocalypsehow]

42. I share NONE of the values "OzarkDem" does - I highly doubt many of us here at DU do, either. n/t.

[babylonsister]

22. I might have relatives like yours, but

I do know why. For my dad, because Obama is black, and he dearly wanted to vote for (Bill) Clinton.
I spoke to his girlfriend (she's 82;)) today, and she told me she'd have a difficult time voting for Obama. After proclaiming I'd have NO problem, I asked her if it was because he's black, and she admitted that might have something to do with it. I'll be visiting them next month, and will work on both of them if I can. I think the g/f listens to my ornery dad too much, and Dad is a Dem. But he's not at all flexible and doesn't even want a computer. Should be a good vacation with them. :rofl:

[lapfog_1]

30. There are many more who won't vote for Hillary.

and MIGHT vote for Obama over McCain.

In my immediate family of 13 voters, I'm guessing that McCain/Obama is 5/8 and McCain/Clinton is 11/2.

[Faygo Kid]

10. It is indeed a cult. Ironic, to say the least. And it is dangerous in many ways.

They hate with a passion I have not seen since George Wallace ran in 1968. Today's DNC meeting was the ugliest thing I have seen in many years.

I fear greatly for Barack. I thought my fears were because of the pro-Hannity crowd. But after today, I am not so sure.

[Cha]

34. A cult of women haters as in women

who hate. Be careful what you start, hilary.

[JeffR]

13. I'm not sure it's quite that

though there's a weird and large component of personal adulation in the mix. But there's also a lot of inchoate resentment, which, very sadly, involves for some of them nothing more complex than plain old racism. I don't really subscribe to the notion that race has been a hugely overt factor, calculated or otherwise, so far. I thought perhaps it would be much worse than it has been - and perhaps the worst of it doesn't really gain the spotlight until we get into the GE - but it's part of the foundation on which the Clinton campaign has not only come to rely, but has wooed for many weeks now. The Clinton campaign in its waning days really seems to have magnetized this demographic, which I hope is smaller than I worry it might be. They've got very loud recently, perhaps because they believe that stopping Barack Obama is the real goalpost for '08, and they know that Clinton's chances of being the chess-piece to accomplish that are - or were - far more favorable than McCain's.

[ekwhite]

18. There are people like that in every campaign

I wouldn't make too much of it myself.

[SoCalDem]

27. Primaries are for partisans.. The majority of the people "out there" only know:

who's running?

the Clinton lady
the black guy
the old guy..

most cannot name their own congressperson
or know how many electoral votes their state has
or even know how many SCOTUS members there are
or how many congresspeople there are
or how many senators


Most people vote for the one they "like"..and could not tell you what their philosophies are..

[Muttocracy]

29. yep. I wish in the primaries we could force voters to take a candidate quiz before voting

See if they can actually list who else is running and distinguish them beyond name, sex, race.

[billyoc]

20. Yeah. Striking out.

[redstate_democrat]

25. Hey, she's a white woman and she's entitled to the fucking presidency

:rofl:

[ruby slippers]

35. don't let Hermeine hear you say that......

[ampad]

36. What was the quote by the good father

The one the Hilly camp practically burnt at the stake? Oh yea I remember now. I'm Bill's wife, I'm white, I'm entitled, something like that. :rofl: Oh man the truth does hurt. Not only is that woman a rabid racist but she is bat-shit crazy. I'm sure Hilly is proud of that one.

[AtomicKitten]

38. Wow.

[Douglas Carpenter]

46. I don't know what to make of it. But it is sure the hell not normal

[depakid]

47. Imppressive- reminds me a lot about how Republicans project

Seems some have learned a lot about that sort of deal over the past 8 years- if nothing else, then by osmosis.

[CreekDog]

49. most supporters will vote for the nominee

don't want to suggest that *a few* represents the many.

most of us just want a Democrat to win.

[LaurenG]

50. I have only seen this kind of behavior in republicans (honestly-not snark)

I don't think that those who are long time dems would ever stoop to voting for bush III. I would be very leary of those on DU (even long time posters) who spew they'll vote McCain.

They are some of the sickest (delusional) we have to deal with. I will be very happy to see them all banned.

:shudder:
