What is the general profile of DU Obama supporters? I'm curious about who would kick a

[elixir]

candidate when they're down and swear at them. The juvenile discussions are filling the board and most center around demands for HRC to leave to jeers and slurs on her family and friends.

What's your profile, Obama supporter?

[babylonsister]

1. We are all ax murderers. nt

[JVS]

4. dickish axe-murderers

[babylonsister]

8. Maybe clickish, too! nt

[JVS]

10. persnickity and uppity

[Coexist]

11. ticklish? n/t

[Moochy]

double-clickish

and thats double plus good!

[Arugula Latte]

27. not to mention sick-ish

[Moochy]

29. And I learned that all obama supporters are sadists

but that post got deleted.

[thunder rising]

5. and worse...

[eleny]

13. Didja have to spill the family secrets?!

[Warren Stupidity]

19. I use proper english: I'm an ask murderer. nt.

[Trajan]

2. The monkey's have taken over the zoo ....

Watch out for flung fecal matter .....

[book_worm]

3. Where were you when HRC supporters were kicking Obama

or downplaying his caucus wins as insignificant. What is the profile of the typical HRC supporter on DU?

[Trajan]

9. We were here ....

I rejected the idiocy from both sides ....

The 'You did it Too' claim falls flat ...... To Quoque fallacy ....

Signed,
Democratic supporter of both candidates ....

[babylonsister]

15. I find it somewhat amazing that people have no opinion. How/why is that? nt

[Trajan]

34. Oh ... I have an opinion ....

My opinion is that both candidates provide what my family needs ..... and my family DOESNT need to do battle in the ugly trenches of selfish egoism to get what they need ....

Obama ... Clinton ... TWO camps ... TWO piles of weak supporters who rant and rave about how much better or worse they are than the other side ..... and yet it can be demonstrated that they are essentially the same .....

Weak, mean, selfish human beings ....

There is a bigger picture in this world: and it contains neither extreme adoration nor extreme condemnation of either Democratic party candidate ..... I find so little difference between them, and so VAST a difference between them and the GOP, that I find it completely unnecessary to hack away at my fellow Democrats, day in and day out, fracturing the now fraying Democratic coalition .... ALL so I can feel like I personally 'win', at the expense of my fellow Democrats ....

I have no need for that crap, given that, in the end, both the candidates will be almost equally effective if they gain office ....

The bashing is all about self ... It is about ego .....

[babylonsister]

42. OK. Good luck with that. My purpose is to try to find someone who

can turn around the last 8 years of horror. I've found him in Barack Obama, but expect no miracles. I hope for a man who says what he means, and means what he says. And yes, that's plagiarism. Deal with it.

[book_worm]

17. I'm tired of the HRC supporters broad stroke insults against Obama supporters

You are right there are idiots on both sides and it isn't just one side yet the OP is asking for a profile of the Obama supporters! because we're so bad--and that's commendable? Oh yes and we are all supposed to be in some kind of cult too!

[BuyingThyme]

Meanies.

[JVS]

6. she's not down, she's still in the race

[cbayer]

7. I'm with you. Who are these people? nt.

[Eurobabe]

40. Many of us have been on here as long or longer than you

Others are probably freeper trolls who have come on here to flamebait the forum. I put nasty posters from both camps on ignore if they have less than a few hundred posts and are recent signups.

I don't like this hidden profile shit. Just saying.

[cbayer]

46. Appreciate that, but this is pretty outrageous.

This is not my first rodeo and I am pretty stunned tonight.

The only thing the profile really gives you is join date.

[psychopomp]

47. Yes, who hides their profile?

I've been here longer than probably 90% of the people on this board so I hope that gives me some credibility. In the last five years this board has been increasingly targeted by disrupters and I think that is just a fact of life here on DU.

Demonizing supporters of either candidate only hurts the chances of the party in November. Calling people on their b.s. is absolutely necessary, however.

I am in my mid-30's, more or less educated, and am supporting Sen. Obama's campaign.

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. The actions of SOME people who support Obama...

are NOT the actions of ALL Obama supporters, so don't even try to pretend they are.

And you may wish to re-read the forum rules: 'users agree to refrain from broad-brush attacks'

You're talking about *individuals*, not some monolithic group. You're a moron if you don't realise that.

[tammywammy]

22. ditto that

[RummyTheDummy]

14. Have you seen Herman Munnster or Lirwin's posts?

[Coexist]

20. I could name several ... but I won't

I will just adore the nice ones.

[Connie_Corleone]

16. I haven't commented on Hillary since the results have come in.

36 yr old black woman.

[NightWatcher]

18. the nastiness is pretty 50/50. there are all types here on DU, both good and bad

I have yet to slur family and friends of Hillary. I am for Obama much more than I am anti Hillary. Let's try not to use broad brushes when dealing with people here

[tammywammy]

21. You should get a smaller brush

It's some supporters. Just like when Hillary wins, it's some supporters that are jerks.

[babylonsister]

24. Hillary...win? Memories are fuzzy.

Shit, I couldn't resist, and now apologize, but that felt GOOOOD!

[AlCzervik]

25. correct and thank you.

[HeraldSquare212]

23. We are people who have suffered through anti-Obama swarms by HRC supporters

on garbage like Reagan, present votes, cult, etc.

[Jersey Devil]

26. Most of us kick our cats, but we don't snuff them out like Hillary

[miceelf]

28. kick a candidate when they're down?

That has been the mo of Hillary supporters from jump.

But it's also wrong when obama supporters do it.

[Window]

30. I'm an Obama supporter.

I am an adult. I am a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I don't gloat and would never "kick a candidate when they're down and swear at them." Nor would I jeer or speak ill of Hillary and/or her family.

I have always liked and admired Hillary and Bill, and I'm proud of the lovely woman Chelsea has grown into.

I am, however, extremely disappointed in the manner in which her campaign being managed.



Peace:thumbsup:

[Catherine Vincent]

31. Dicks and trolls. nt

[RememberWellstone]

32. Who let them in?

I've seen more bans against the Obaminites than any other species in years. It is sad too...they have no idea what is happening.

[mkultra]

41. heres a map

You --------------------------------- mars -------------------------------------------reality!

[mkultra]

45. i make an effort to be decent

But the last thing im going to do is take that self righteous crap from some dumb ass who happens to find themselves among the Hillary cadre. If what they say is insulting to me, I'm going to give em both barrels head on. Ive ben hearing alot of complaints latley about it from folks so maybe they caught a wiff of themselves.


When i talk to Hillary folk, i show decency and openness until that first dick pokes out like a turtle head. Don't start none, wont be none.

[zulchzulu]

33. We're winners, not whiners

:hi:

[Drunken Irishman]

35. I murder children and strap bombs to women with down syndrome.

[JVS]

39. But what's your day-job?

[harun]

36. She refuses to congratulate Obama and she is long overdue

to face the reality. That might be why the gloves have come off.

Personally I felt bad for her after Potomac. Knew it was over then and tried to make nice but then she started all this crazy smear crap against Obama and her supporters are pushing that Bullshit about every five minutes on DU ????

Like anyone on this board is going to be swayed by nonsense smears either way. People here get swayed by rational, detailed, CITED works. So I felt her supporters doing the nonsense are causing a lot of the Obama backers to take shots at them.

I like the Clinton's. I have been saying she would NOT win the nom though for the last two years.

Vote for the Iraq war, show her the door.

[Pushed To The Left]

37. I'm an Obama supporter who also likes and respects Hillary Clinton

I REALLY hope Obama gets the nomination, but I will proudly support either one of them in November!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

38. southerner, taught a winner can afford to be gracious when winning

And in fact - must do so in order to continue to win!

I can't claim that I am actually very gracious, but that is what a winner is supposed to be.

Its bad form to mock someone if you are ahead of them

[davidinalameda]

43. we're all fundamentalist Christofascist homophobes

right?

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. A lot of us stay out of GDP

as much as possible. :)
