Congrats to Hillary.
Good on her for holding her own in two states she has consistently been doing well in.

While some may say this is sour grapes...most of the Hillary supporters are acting just as cocky and ugly as they claimed Obama supporters were.

So much for the moral high ground.

From where I stand, it shows we all might need some time reflecting on what kind of people we really want to be.

1. Personally, as a former Edward supporter, I truly don't believe ...
anyone could act as cocky or ugly as O supporters have in recent times.

3. Obama supporter here...
and I have to disagree with you. So far tonight, there have been very few slams compared to the norm from our camp aimed at them. Sorry, but its true.

6. That's for your honesty. I'm sorry for good Obama folks like you.
These others are really ruining it for you.

1awake... Thank you for your post. Have you met a poster named Joshua N?

He is a really terrific person and you and he are excellent examples of the good people who can be found supporting either Obama or Hillary. He is also an Obama supporter. I am a Hillary supporter.

My appreciation to you both.

4. I haven't seen any of the "in your face" type of ball-spiking
that went on here the last big Primary night.

5. I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing any cocky Clinton supporters here.
And for the most part, it's not that Obama supporters are just cocky--many of them are vicious children.

8. Just pointing out the facts that you guys are about as gracious in victory as Obama folks.
Which is not at all.

11. Give Me A Break!!
You must never read the Obama people posts.

I'm a Veteran too and I know who are friends and who are foes, and we Clinton people have been shot at non-stop by the Obama people.

The way we Clinton people have been treated by the Obama people calling us lairs, crybabies, whiners, GOP like, and Karl Rove like is unacceptable.

I can't believe what so many of the Obama people have said against us Clinton people who are fellow Democrats. Not an ounce of unity at all.

I refuse to accept that we have acted in the same horrible manner that so many of the Obama people have in a sea of hateful threads that clog up the forum.

This thread alone saying Congrats and then when you open it was nothing but attacks.

I served my country well and when i got out I worked for many campaigns including Gore and Kucinich.

I have organized many town hall meets and politocal events. I have been to countless war protest marches and rallies. the way many of the Obama people haved carried themselves would never be accepted at these events and functions.

This thread was terrible and not sincere at all and should be removed from this board.

13. I think we ALL see what we want to see. I was saying BOTH sides have blinders on.
Both sides in this have been nasty and ugly and naturally each side takes the attacks on their candidate a bit more personally while dismissing the ugliness on their own side.

That was the point.

As usual, you were too quick to see the worst in people to realize that.

15. That of course is your perogative.
But I certainly didn't single anyone out for an attack, but you sure as hell attacked me for pointing out that neither side has been very gracious.

It's the rage of Caliban at seeing his own reflection in the glass.

17. I was just pointing out that neither side has a premium on being ungracious.
I acknowledge and congratulate her on her victory, but I was hoping that for all the complaints of her supporters for the behavior of many Obama supporters, that they would take a more gracious approach if they won.

They didn't. They are acting the same way for the most part.

And yes, I will admit that I two purposes to the post. One was hopefully point out that we are all looking like shit in this and the other was congratulating her on her win and suggesting that some humility and graciousness would serve us better than tearing each other apart.

Maybe you should get some new specs and look again at how the various supporters have been acting overall.

You know, you could take lessons in grace from a DU member named Joshua N.

There's a person with dignity and class. I support Hillary, he happens to support Obama, but had the greatest kindness and goodness of spirit that we all should have.
