it was said by a supporter of a democratic candidate.
"Hillary couldn't even beat the black guy".
Now I'm an Obama supporter, not ashamed to admit it. What I am ashamed of is a Democrat calling President Obama 'the black guy'. I know he's not lived up to everyone's expectations, but he deserves better than 'the black guy' He's done good things. He's the 'leader' of our party. To see someone that's a Democrat, or at the very least supporting someone running for the Democratic nomination refer to him as 'the black guy' is wrong among other things....
edited to clarify: It was not a Hillary supporter that said this. This was said ABOUT Hillary by a supporter of one of the other DEMOCRATIC candidates.

(20,043 posts)you might wanna read the OP again. It was said about Hillary.
"Hillary couldn't even beat the black guy" that's what the other supporter said.

(7,010 posts)maybe the racist doesn't know Bernie is Jewish?
John Poet
(2,510 posts)which you people keep claiming exist and are trying to burn Hillary by boosting Bernie.
I know there are a few. This quote is probably proof of one. Another giveaway is when they refer to "the Democrat party", as RW talk radio always refers to us...

(92,219 posts)only one person was disturbed by it enough to call attention to it. In fact, it even went before a jury which voted 1-6 to leave it. It wasn't even close.
Now it seems today, at least a host of that group has actually done as you mentioned, and blocked that person. A few have joined in to register disgust, which is right the right thing to do, so all that is good stuff.
To be honest though, a lot of folks were using that thread to tell other DUers who were not supporting their candidate what they could do. It was an extremely negative thread to say the least, and it sure didn't reflect well on Bernie.
I am at least glad to see the disruptive post was taken care of. Kind of sad that a jury didn't recognize it though
Autumn
(45,107 posts)how it works. A jury let it stand. Hosts cannot remove posts.

(10,893 posts)posted that was acting like that was the first and only election that HC ran in. What a joke. She has a much larger resume besides just being a former FLOTUS.

I weep at some of the stuff I read on the internet. I don't read any political article on yahoo news for example. Enough to make me very afraid.
So was this out there somewhere or was it on this site? If it was on this site, please link so we all can give them a good thrashing.

(9,497 posts)I didn't read that OP.
Yes, that is disgusting.
Next time, stop being so obtuse and just link, it sounded like somewhere in the vastness of the internet.
I love President Obama, he hasn't been a perfect President by far, but he has been a good President for the times. I love the man, I love his family. I cannot say that about any other president in my lifetime.
It may be because I am Latina and he represents a lot of things, and I know by members of my family who are darker, he has faced a hostile world and still carries this light inside of him. I do not regret voting for him twice.

If anyone actually reads what I wrote that's the point. He doesn't deserve that. ESPECIALLY from a Democrat. I was pretty vague as to who and where this was posted because the point was what was said about President Obama.
I didn't post a link for a reason. The comment stands on it's on.
That's something you'd hear from the Republicans. Not from a Democrat.
I get so tired of hearing shit from the right, to see that from one of 'ours'? No, just no.

(57,349 posts)According to Hillary supporters Bernie is Israel's #1 shill, a pro gunner that thinks women enjoy being raped, that we should abolish pedophilia or rape laws, is a racist, gun nut, draft dodger, scheming little sneak, socialist throwback jackass, drooling sweating old fool, scumbag, pandering phony braggart with some kind of emotional instability, tool for the NRA, Republican man with his head between women's legs, who protects the minutemen militia, pedophiles, racist cops, has rape fantasies, thinks that orgasms prevent cancer, wants guns in the streets, is trying to suppress the black vote and is supported by Stormfront.
No one can pretend their associates are better than the other guys.

(20,582 posts)Seriously disgusting. Not sure what kind of person comes up with this bile but I'm very glad not to know them personally.
beam me up scottie
(57,349 posts)Which probably ties in with the anti-Semitic rumour that Bernie has a "nest egg" waiting for him in Israel.
That also came from a Hillary supporter.

What are you talking about?

(53,235 posts)Bobbie Jo
(14,341 posts)First one, what? This OP refers to the link I posted, where did you come up with "the first one" ??
Lazy, WTF??
If YOU saw it, then YOU post it if you bring it into this discussion.
valerief
(53,235 posts)If you care so much, you do your own search. You'll see that my first post was to the OP, not you. You're the one stalking me. What's your problem?
on edit
Don't bother to harass me. I'm putting you on Forever Ignored.
Forevah!! Stalking!!
Perhaps if you would have said so in the first place we could have ended this interaction much sooner.
Look, you were wrong with your snarky comment
and I only corrected you. That you're having a melt down at this point is just bizarre.
Have a nice forever....
