It's getting HORRIBLE out there

and I do not only mean GDP. Just read about Clinton's Wolfson characterizing Obama's comments about BC as right-wing talking points. Just as an example. As to the venom around DU, the incredibly idiotic venom I must add, it just blows my mind away. I have no problem with people disagreeing, but the sheer stupidity of so many comments I have seen over the week-end leaves me speechless and paralyzes my fingers on the keyboard. It's like a frenetic mob of angry retards have been unleashed and are running wild and thirsty for blood. Incredibly disappointing.

3. I read the thread about Wolfson. How pathetic.

In the minds of the Clintons and their supporters, they are above criticism. I guess the vast RW conspiracy grows daily. :eyes:

I know exactly what you mean about fingers being paralyzed on the keyboard. I can't tell you how many times I've clicked "reply" and started typing only to decide it just wasn't worth it. Nothing anyone says will change their minds. They remind me of the Bush's 25% crowd.

The thing that's been most disappointing to me is the embrace of the "win at all costs" attitude. It so reminds me of Bush-Rove. And when the same tactics are used by the GOP on HRC, should she win the nomination, I've got my violin tuned and ready to go. Their whining will fall on deaf ears.

5. It's a variation on the Bush Defense

You can't say bad things about our President's actions because that would damage The Presidency. The simple fact that our President has done things that deserve to be criticized never makes it into the discussion.

Not surprising to me that the Clintons have adopted it.

If you point out the bad things the Clintons have done then you are helping the Right-Wing. When actually it is the actions themselves that have damaged our party.

6. Some supporter of another candidate told me "Love it or leave it"

I guess that we should recognize the fact that politics has degraded to bitchy name calling and spreading lies and inaccuracies like we're stuck in 7th grade study hall. Our other alternative is that we can not read and learn about our country.

This is exactly why I'm voting for Obama. I'm tired of having to live in a world where everything is black and white (no racial pun intended). Hearing the way some other people talk on DU makes me want to listen to other people more instead of just running my mouth like some folks do.
