I love DU

[Clintonista2]

Obama proudly admits that he has used drugs. It is then correctly pointed out that this will be used against him in a General election. The heads of the ObamaNation supporters explode. These are the same people who are posting "Did Hillary really kill Vince Foster?" topics. It's not raining, so why are your faces so wet?

[Maven]

1. Thou shalt not blaspheme against the almighty Obama

by pointing out his weaknesses in the general election!

[Clintonista2]

5. I swear I saw him walking on water the other day

It turns out it was just his very transparent supporters.

[AX10]

11. Before I joined DU, I was an observer. I remember...

what happened to those who did not support the "almighty" Howard Dean. It wasn't very nice. If you didn't support Dean, you were either a "FReeper", a corporate tool, or a warmonger.

Somethings never change.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Once again Lirwin misses the point of everything.

Good job Lirwin, you're batting 1.000.

[Clintonista2]

3. Poor Walsh is just angry that his vince foster topic got locked

:(

[Joe the Revelator]

8. Not as mad as I;d be if I was a Hillary supporter

To see someone I had invested so much time in defending, completely throw away her chances would make me angry as well.

Also, who is Walsh?

[Clintonista2]

You've been claiming the demise of the Clinton campaign for months now

:(

[Joe the Revelator]

16. And it appears I was right from the beginning

Whats your point?

[Clintonista2]

19. My point is...

Mr.Wolsh is not too good at predicting the outcome of things. That's probably why he thinks Obama is going to win.

[Joe the Revelator]

24. If we're going by reality....

they should change my screename to Nostrodamus.

[jefferson_dem]

15. Lirwin hates everything that's not named Hillary.

n/t

[Clintonista2]

17. Ahh there he is!

Our resident foamer!

[Lord Helmet]

4. "proudly admits" ... that's some stretching of the truth

not a surprise coming from a Clinton supporter

[Lerkfish]

6. you do realize clinton campaign has issued an apology, yes?

so, you're now disagreeing with your own candidate.

[Clintonista2]

9. Hey Lerk, some of us are able to disagree with our candidates

It's called "freedom of thought."

[Lerkfish]

38. you know, I'd never think of crediting you for being a supporter of

free thinking.

shows you how wrong I am.

[Clintonista2]

41. Am I put on the "complicity watch" list yet?

[Lerkfish]

46. aww, you're sweet.

and thoughtful.

have a great holiday.

[Clintonista2]

50. Thanks, you too. Though I can never understand people who

complain about NOT being banned from a website. Why wouldn't they simply stop going to the website?

[TwilightZone]

54. Even better are the people who say they're leaving DU...

and they storm off in a blaze of glory...and then come right back.

[Lerkfish]

56. ahhh.... you guys LOVE me, you REALLY LOVE me

how precious

[TwilightZone]

57. The word "people" is plural.

Not everything is about you, as much as you'd like to believe otherwise.

[mtnsnake]

59. Donchya just love those farewell threads?

"I've had it. I'm leaving DU and blah blah blah. OK, now everyone can tell me how much they're gonna miss me or how I shouldn't leave."

Hell, anyone who really wants to leave DU is just gonna leave without broadcasting it in the form of some sympathy seeking thread.

Just the same, I gotta admit that some of those farewell threads are kind of funny, sappy as they are. lol

[Clintonista2]

61. Nono, he made the farewell thread on his other website

About how he was finally leaving the horrible evil DU, and asked the mods to have his account banned. The mods didn't ban his account, so he bitched and bitched and then began posting on DU again. What an interesting life he must have :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Lerkfish]

62. I always know when I've struck a nerve

the hillbot thugs gang up on me in force and just derail threads attacking me personally.

interesting that you break all sorts of DU rules but nothing ever happens to you? I assume there must be differing standards here.

interesting, isnt' it?

[Clintonista2]

64. My comedy nerve, yes

Because I've never seen anybody get so e-raged in my life.

67. ...

:rofl:

[TwilightZone]

68. "e-raged"

Bwahaha!

[Clintonista2]

69. Go take a look at the rage-fest on his other site

...if you can stand to lose a few IQ points.

[TwilightZone]

70. Been there, done that.

And to think that DUers are the ones often accused of "group think".

[Clintonista2]

No kidding

I'd be willing to geuss that you're banned based on who you support, kinda like Freerepublic. I've never seen anybody banned on DU because they do/don't support a candidate. The problem that they have with DU is that it's not banning members who support so-called "centrist" candidates. It reminds me of the "non-conformists" on south park. You can only belong to their "non-conformist" group if you conform to their ideas :rofl:

[TwilightZone]

72. Frankly, I don't get the whole "centrist" thing.

Dennis Kucinich wins pretty much every DU candidate poll. Other polls routinely show that most DUers are well to the left on many, many issues. The responses to the Political Compass polls showed that the vast majority of DUers fall in the lower left quadrant.

And, yet, DU is too "centrist" to these people? In what universe?

The constant claims "over there" that the place has been taken over by centrists are ridiculously inaccurate. Laughingly so.

Your South Park reference is a good one. That sums it up quite nicely.

[ronnykmarshall]

63. SNAP!

[Lerkfish]

65. I guess somebody pissed on the fire

:)

[AlCzervik]

12. for killing Foster?

i'm kidding!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. An "apology"? Do tell... (words have meanings)

[Joe the Revelator]

18. See thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3828846

[papau]

32. Billy Shaheen says his words were not the campaign's, so the clinton campaign issued no apology

[Joe the Revelator]

34. Give me a break

[Clintonista2]

36. That was substantive

Is your avatar picture depicting the inside of your head? :rofl::rofl:

[Joe the Revelator]

40. I'm about to make blanket statement....

Hillary supporters have the worst sense of humor of any other camp on DU.

[maddiejoan]

44. Some of us are mature enough

to support a candidate without having to march in lockstep behind her.

[Madam Mossfern]

7. Did he *proudly* admit that?

It's a real question, this is the first time that I've heard that he was proud about it.

[Double T]

10. Who ever said HRC murdered Vince Foster?

The only thing the Clinton's have helped kill is the middle class.

14. As a John Edwards Supporter...

I just love me popcorn.


:popcorn:


And an ice cold Vernor's Ginger Ale


:spray:

[Renew Deal]

21. Why did Shaheen apologize?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3828846

[Clintonista2]

23. Don't ask me

Unlike another certain cultish group, I don't have to agree with my candidate 100% of the time.

[Renew Deal]

27. Because he was wrong.

Ummm, you do agree 100% of the time. I'd love to see a recent post where you didn't. I've never seen one.

[Clintonista2]

28. He was wrong? You don't think that it will be used against him in a GE?

Wow, it really is a cult.

[Renew Deal]

39. Your candidates campaign apologized.

And so far, you don't acknowledge what they did was wrong even though the campaign you support does. Talk about hypocrisy on your part. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3828846

[Clintonista2]

42. Billy Shaheen says his words were not the campaign's, therefore there was no apology

Try again.

[Renew Deal]

43. Shaheen is the co-chair of Hillary's New Hampshire campaign and he apologized

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3828846

You're a joke.

[Clintonista2]

45. I'm still waiting for Obama's McClurkin apology

Or does Jesus not apologize?

[jefferson_dem]

33. So you agree with Hillary and her surrogates all the time...

except when they are (pretending to be) civil.

Don't be a hater playa.

[melody]

22. In the words of William Daniels as John Adams, "I have such a desire to knock heads together!"

I wish all the ardent Obamans and Hillarians (as well as the more obnoxious apostles of Joe "The Other White Meat" Biden and John Edwards) would agree to some kind of truce. I feel like the music to West Side Story is going to swell any moment now. (It was
a musical theatre night, what can I say?)

[BeatleBoot]

31. "The Sharks and The Jets" - Too funny!!!!

:rofl:

[silverweb]

25. Fast and loose with the truth again, I see.

"Proudly admits," huh?

(1) He wrote about this in his autobiography, published in 1995, before he ever decided to run for public office.

(2) He was a kid at the time, and he talks about feeling lost and confused about who he was, and cites his drug experimentation as a negative.

(3) He has talked to groups of youngsters about the lessons learned during that time in his life, turning his negative experience into a positive lesson for today's kids.

(4) Virtually all successful drug rehab counselors are former users or addicts themselves, yet rehab counselors are held in high esteem in our society because they overcame their problems, and they are not badgered about those earlier mistakes.

There are no "heads exploding," in the Obama camp, but we certainly do take strong exception to swiftboating tactics from another Democrat, who should certainly know better.

As for the Vince Foster thing, I haven't seen a single comment about that before yours, so you'll have to show me.

On Edit: I just saw your link to the "Vince Foster" post. The _OP_ is obvious parody of similar posts from the Clinton camp about Obama's teenage drug use. It certainly does not qualify as a resurrection of the old "scandal," and this is just more distortion and misrepresentation on your part.

[Clintonista2]

29. Hey, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with what Obama did

I'm saying that you're delusional if you don't see this as a liability in a GE. And the vince foster topic: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3828083&mesg_id=3828083

[silverweb]

35. See my edited post.

And I'm not delusional. You're distortional.

On Edit: No, I dont' see it as a GE liability. Because thanks to your candidate, this is all being thoroughly aired and cleared out of the way well in advance and people will just roll their eyes if the reTHUGs try to make an issue out of it again. So... thanks!

[Kucinich4America]

30. I'm neither a Hillary or a Obama supporter, but this drug bullshit is ridiculous.

Particularly coming from Mrs. "I Didn't Inhale" Herself. I'm assuming she was somewhere near by when Bill was "not inhaling". Was she inhaling, or "not" inhaling herself?? Seems like just as much of a valid question. At least if you're enough of a hypocrite to think that ANYBODY who grew up in the fucking 60's didn't try a few recreational chemicals.

I'll bet everyone in the Democratic Primary AND the Republican Primary has tried at least 2 "illegal" drugs when they were younger. Yes, even Saint Willard Mittens of the Planet Kolob.

Can we get the fuck over it already?? And while we're at it, LEGALIZE the fucking drugs already, treat addiction as a chemical problem, and save the prisons for REAL criminals. Like the neocons.

[silverweb]

37. Best post tonight!

"Yes, even Saint Willard Mittens of the Planet Kolob." :D

[rucky]

47. Enjoy your race to the gutter.

I've had it with the overpaid K-Streeters and the rogue Rove wannabes. I can only hope that Iowans see it the same way and tank anyone who allows themselves to be handled by these yutzes. Nothing against the candidates, but as a statement to this brand of politics that seems to get rewarded time and time again.

We are entertaining ourselves to death.

[ecstatic]

48. Does anyone here like both Clinton and Obama?

I do. Am I the only one who likes them both?

[BootinUp]

49. yes. I mean no you are not the only one.

I have been an Obama admirer since the Dem Convention in 04. My only concern has been winning this election with our strongest candidate.

[MethuenProgressive]

60. I used to. Until Obama got in bed with the bigot wing of his church.

I once thought we'd run a Clinton/Obama ticket and beat the snot out of the GOP.

[Josiah1982]

51. the coke thing will be a drag on Obama if he's the nominee

there's just no way that republicans won't exploit it.

[Clintonista2]

52. Uh oh, don't get caught saying that on DU!

The Obamanation will accuse you of being a republican operative.

[Egnever]

71. Hows it working out for hillary so far

nice of her to test it out for them.

[Lerkfish]

53. actually, I've reconsidered. I think you SHOULD keep up this negative attack strategy

in fact, I think you should increase it. Go big or go home!
I mean, come up with the most vile things possible! go for it! It reflects well on your candidate!

it'll make HRC unstoppable!

keep going! bravo!

[rAVES]

55. Ah the retraction at work...

positively slimy move by the Clinton Campaign.. honestly I'd probably be more disgusted about the fact they retracted it.
Spineless and hypocritical.. does anybody believe this isn't a premeditated move?

[Forkboy]

58. You couldn't have missed the point of the Foster thread by anymore if you tried.

Try thinking for half a minute and stop acting just the whiners you keep whining about.

[MrMickeysMom]

73. How to topics like this get the number of recs they do?

Sometimes I love DU, too... It makes me want to shake my head like one of those Jar Jar characters in Star Wars.

This one starts off with the OP starts pulling down their pants down to shoot a moon at their nemesis. I've never heard anyone proudly admit drug use. Is the choice, "ObamaNation" used to conjure up visions of Louis Farrakhan's nation of Islam? Why to you have to defend HRC from having VF killed? That story has been debunked. If you want to see a vice of Obama, it should be his cigarette smoking- not good. He inhales, too.

Hell, I'm not even in the audience to weigh in on the HRC/OB steel cage match, I like Kucinich... but you people are "something else".
