Obama Supporters Unite! Don't Allow Cheap Shots and Rudeness to Go Unanswered!

[DrFunkenstein]

I am a BIG BIG Obama supporter, and that is why I am repeating my call for civility, decency and restraint - especially with the big day tomorrow. Clinton is on the ropes and her supporters are less than happy. Allow them to vent and make an effort to embrace them. You can make your points without resorting to cheap shots and thuggery.

If Obama has a great day, be the bigger person. If Clinton has a great day, be the bigger person.

After the Kerry-Dean tussle in 2004, Dean backers were fuming but the efforts of Kerry people to allow them to vent and still be welcome went along way towards uniting our Party. It made good sense then and it makes good sense now.

I am hoping to see Clinton return to the Senate and remain an important voice in our Party. When I see her campaign using what I consider unfair or unethical tactics, I call them out - but always with civility.

I am hoping that you will not only refrain from nastiness, but you will also remind other Obama supporters when they stray from the straight and narrow path.

We are taking part in a historical moment in our democracy (and unlike most of the recent historical moments, this one doesn't suck). Let's keep our composure and our dignity.

Fired up! Ready to go!

1. Hillary has a 9-Point lead over Obama in Ohio

Obama can't run the Marathon....he's a High-Jumper at heart.

2. Lordy thankyou

I am a General Clark supporter, always have been and continue to be. Not to spoil your pie but the vast majority of Obama supporters here have been godawful ugly and extremely sore winners to this point. Oh so ugly.

Please Obama supporters listen to DrFunkenstein. Because after tomorrow you are going to have to convince me to vote for your candidate next week in Mississippi and if you're ugly in the future like you've been in the past, I'll stay home.

4. Rumor has it that Hillary will

pick General WesleyClark for VP.

6. What State Would That Deliver?

Not very likely. She's going to need a red state, or at least a key purple state like Ohio if she gets the nod.

[liberalnurse]

13. He has delivered on the ground.,,,especially Ohio

He has been very active in Ohio for the past 3 years. He does fundraising with Paul Hackett, stumped for several candidates in Special Elections. He has been seen with Sherrod Brown and Ted Strickland frequently.

5. Think of It This Way: He's Winning A Little Over Half of the Party So Far

And there are really only a handful of knuckleheads around here throwing trash around. I hope its Obama, but vote your conscience.

8. Yo Doc

I love you man. I promised myself that I would not get involved with our primary wars, then I cheated on myself. The ugliness has been, well, ugly. And it really pisses me off when Obama supporters (not you) attempt to rail against others who do not post nothing but glowing platitudes for their candidate. I have no dog in the Obama-Clinton fight but Obama supporters here have pissed me the fuck off.

12. You've already called him an empty suit

so, do us all a favor, and stop posing as an open-minded person.

[Bread and Circus]

7. I use Hillary Clinton as my standard for decency....

9. Kerry didn't play dirty and neither did dean. There is a difference this time! n/t

10. An eye for an eye makes everyone blind.
