1. Thanks, Flabber!

It's always good to refocus on what's important and disregard what is pure distraction.

Edit~ REC'D~

[Flabbergasted]

2. Thanks for the rec...

How's the coop?

[Cha]

3. Closed for today...thank the

Universe! We're in a small town and everyone in the surrounding communities love our co-op too, but we don't have to be open on Sundays cause we've no competition and it all started in 1975 by people who have other lives in addition to be dedicated to a healhy life.

How's the cafe?

[Flabbergasted]

5. Closed as well...

We're actually moving on. We've been doing this for nine years and I'm getting tired of it.

My wife just started a new business which is already making more money than the cafe. The cafe has been on the market for a month and a buyer is sounding interested.

I'm hoping to set it down and start working on the house and take some classes at the community college.

What's New York like? I've never been there.

[Cha]

10. Aha! I know all about moving on when

the time is right. New York is okay and I've learned a lot here for the last 9 years but in 3 more years I'm moving backing to Kauai where my heart really is. :) Just a coincidence that Obama was born there:P My son has been there since 1985 and I lived there from 1992 until 1998 when I moved to New York without ever having lived here..I was most lucky to land where this co-op is because that's pretty much my life's work.

My daughter and her family are in Portland, O as I've probably said and they love it!

Good Luck to you and your wife in whatever you do!~

4. I think that we need to temper the emotion...

And make sure we are refuting these claims soundly and rationally.

And to remember that many of these claims/arguements are simply unworthy of a response.

[Flabbergasted]

7. "Unworthy of response", yep...

Are you rooting for Obama?

[Barack_America]

8. Absolutely.

But I'm trying not to fall into the pit of fighting tooth-and-nail for my candidate. I think that I do him a better sevice when I keep my cool.

Seriously, some of these statements that people from *other* campaigns are saying really are unworthy of response. They are, in a word, "ludicrous'.

21. Ignore is very useful n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. DO NOT REPLY TO OR INITIATE NEGATIVE THREADS

I can't emphasize this enough. Everytime you do, it chips away at Obama's main strength.

Let them flame away. The whole point of their posts is to create a negative environment. Don't let it continue.

[MethuenProgressive]

9. No more "Don't you have some crosses to burn?" insults from ObamaNation?

That'll be a nice change.

[KittyWampus]

11. honestly, it seems your sole intent is on inflaming DU'ers. Good Bye.

[MethuenProgressive]

13. Right, "just sit back and take that shit from ObamaNation and keep your mouth shut!"

:eyes:

[Flabbergasted]

17. responded to wrong person

[Flabbergasted]

20. There were many positive threads about Obama prior to Iowa...

The focus has changed lately...

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. AVOID THREADS LABELLED "OBAMA NATION" "KIDDY ARMY" and the like

Avoid posting and responding to threads and posts that refer to racism, sexism, or lying.

Stay positive and upbeat. Don't take the bait.

[Cha]

14. I have been except this

one thread last night when it was on the inside about "the kids" and I told him he was jealousy calling us "kids" and asked if he were an ancient relic from the last century..

They never learned what they should have in the sandbox.

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. It's simply meant to demoralize...don't take the bait

They want a fight on personalities and identity politics.

Don't fall for it.

[Cha]

18. I know...

Demoralization with a Capital D.

We will not degrade ourselves with hatred.

19. I'd wonder why they can't spell Barack correctly? Kind of dampens the credibilty.

[matcom]

22. !

:rofl:

[indimuse]

23. I caught that as well...

no other comment...? should he stay or go? how do you feel about this man and the Obama campaign..do you think he is a liability?

[Flabbergasted]

24. A poorly worded commentary. But in no way racist.
