1. Wow, I didn't know they had that graphic. "Bill and Hillary just gave their campaign."

Amazing. Divisive. Going to backfire.

[jgraz]

5. Also wrong. They LOANED their campaign the money

Which means that your contributions now go directly into their pockets.

[joshcryer]

6. Link to that?

[jgraz]

10. Oh please. Do you also need a link to prove that Hillary is, in fact, a candidate for president?

Seriously, Google News is your friend.

[joshcryer]

13. Please don't insult me.

The other post you had went to Huffington Press and was 404.

I found it. Interesting.

[jgraz]

20. Sorry, but it's on the front page of every internet news site

But thanks for catching my broken link. HuffPost moved the page :grumble:

18. Dean never did this when Kerry donated cash to his campaign.

This is dispicible.

[Dogmudgeon]

2. That means that Obama will raise one billion dollars by November

Actually, over a billion.

--p!

3. OMG. It just keeps going. Will it be 7 mill by this time tomorrow?

4. Whoever owns that web page spelled Barak's name wrong

[grantcart]

7. It's his web site lol

[krkaufman]

8. huh?

[MadBadger]

9. Haha, very funny.

[krkaufman]

11. Really? Could you clue me in; I missed the "joke" nt

[grantcart]

15. He misspelled Barack's name and is clueless to the fact

that he is accusing Barack of not knowing how to spell his own name.

[krkaufman]

19. ok. not a joke. they just have no clue how to spell B's name.

[MadBadger]

22. It appears you have no clue how to spell BaraCk's name

There is a C there.

[krkaufman]

23. Ummm.... yes, I do. But the previous poster referred to a joke...

... that appeared, to me, to be missing.

And nice attitude, ass. I can see what some of the Clinton supporters mean.

[MadBadger]

25. We see to be having a misunderstanding. I thought you were the one who didnt know how to spell...

his name. It was actually somebody else. So I thought that person was making some kind of joke. I mean no harm.


I come in peace. :toast:

[krkaufman]

26. Live long and prosper, friend.

:headbang: (closest the smilies come to it)

[jgraz]

12. They also forgot the "Hussein" part

:P

[Diane R]

16. Wow. I guess you got the Rove talking points.

[jgraz]

17. See, there's this thing we have here on Earth called "humor"

You might want to check it out the next time you visit.

21. All that money and still he lacks the creativity of Ron Paul. Up in Truckee people had...

spray painted/stenciled 'Ron Paul' in blue paint onto snow drifts on & off exits around town...couldn't have cost more than maybe 20-30 bucks in construction paper and spray paint

6mil should buy a shit-load of construction paper :spray:

[krkaufman]

24. Hmmm... lemme see... construction paper and snow and 1% of elected delegates...

... or modern multimedia and 50% of elected delegates.

I'd say Barack's got his eye on the ball.

[bridgit]

27. You forgot to mention -0% sense of humor amongst Obama supporters I see...

[krkaufman]

28. the "6mil buys lots of construction paper" was funny.

The "lacks the creativity" jab in the subject line not. There is a difference between humor and pettiness.

And I'm not sure why DUers feel the need to extrapolate the humorlessness of one post to the whole of one person's character... and then even to all those who happen to support the same candidate. It's ignorant, petty and saddening.

But...

One definitely has to hand it to the Paul supporters. Lots of creativity over there. And I have to wonder how it will affect future elections. I think Obama's campaign somehow benefited from the trail blazed by Dean in 2004, so it will be interesting to see what the Paul supporters do or inspire down the road.

[bridgit]

29. Sadly, my guys have already left the field, though one need not look too far even here...

for the "ignorant, petty and saddening" when it comes to what is remained...and here I'll add: sniping (to a growing list of negativities it would seem), when it comes to either so-called camp and their supporters, shall we say: exuberance, however irrational or well founded

All the best :)
