[meow mix]

woot

[mathewsleep]

1. i'll wait till it's official before i turn off my ignored.

i get pissed off too easy.

[monmouth]

2. Hahaha, half way through the speech, he wasn't even really into it

yet, you just knew history was being made and my grandchildren were going to have a new chapter of homework in their history class re the "Speech." Can't wait for the tears, screams, whining and foot stomping...It's over baby...

[polichick]

3. imo Hillary should look toward the future - hers and the country's - and concede with dignity...

The math can't add up for her ~ and now is the right moment.

[Life Long Dem]

4. Do we even need the GD primaries anymore?

[New Earth]

5. I actually just STARTED my ignore list in the last few days...

it's becoming a very long list :scared: I swear most of these people I have never seen on DU in all the time I've been here....so very very odd :/

Anyway, I am not turning off my ignore list any time soon, just clogs up the page with too many bullshit posts.

[SoFlaJet]

11. What is really evil Faye

is I've found some of those provocateurs are actually TRYING to get you tombstoned-keep the scumbags where they are-it's better for your blood pressure too

[New Earth]

14. well I don't even post in here, I just read.

I barely even post about the candidate I DO support, and I refuse to get involved in flamewars...so as soon as I feel like I want to reply to tell someone to fuck off, I just put them on ignore :D

[Adams Wulff]

33. Amature.

(See Profile)^
:hi:

[boppers]

46. Another VNV fan!

Okay, it's totally off-topic, but the sig/banner made me happy. :)

[New Earth]

49. yay!

makes me happy too, when someone recognizes who is in my sig :hi:

me = very very ridiculously huge fan

[boppers]

53. And to top it off, you have a UU chalice as your avatar.

Ya single? ;)

[New Earth]

61. haha

unfortunately, yes...obsessed with someone but not with them right now :/

Are you UU too?

ps) If I don't reply after your next post, it means I left work to go home and I have no internet until tomorrow morning when I pay my cable bill :eyes:

[boppers]

73. I'm a holiday UU'er.

You know, the kind that only goes to "church" on special occasions. :D

[jgraz]

6. haha, and I'm turning all my ignores back on.

Trust me, it hasn't changed. If today and this speech won't make any difference, nothing will. Some people just get off on being cheap and divisive.

[Window]

7. LOL!

:hi:

[DearAbby]

8. I myself will not gloat...

I will try to gently encourage them to come along, We need them, all of them, if we want to get done, what we need to get done. To continue to stoke these fires will not do any good.

There will be no gloating from me.

[MyNameGoesHere]

16. it is too bad more Obama supporters did not act like you

from the start. I still have hope we will have a good candidate but the foul stench of this bickering has made my heart stone cold against Obama. i will not even consider him as a nominee and if i have to vote for him in the GE it will be with contempt in my heart. it could have all been different and i would not really cared which one was in, but now I am dead set against Hillary quitting until the bloody end. Even if it destroys the party as some here want us to believe.

[tigervalentine]

30. It appears that your heart is cold

toward Obama because of the behavior of his supporters. On the other hand, MY heart is "stone cold" against Hillary because of her own behavior, not because of her supporters.

That ought to tell you something.

[Megahurtz]

70. No need to be a sheep, Dude

just ignore them and smile!

[MyNameGoesHere]

74. Sheep? Yes i suppose that

is another description for Hillary supporters. Unless i get your meaning wrong.

[democrattotheend]

9. CUT THIS OUT! Let's stop ruining Obama's message of unity

With crap like this! You will ruin any goodwill Obama's speech might have generated among Clinton supporters (yes, there are some more rational Clinton supporters here).

[JuniperLea]

35. Well said!

I can't understand why so many here can't get that!

[krkaufman]

43. * * * Agreed. * * * nt

[K Gardner]

10. I can't let the HATRED here, spewed by small and ignorant minds, marr the beauty of this historic

day or this moment. My ignores are growing exponentially and will stay until Obama is nominated and they are gone.

[Whisp]

26. I'm going to have to do the iggy thing too.

not one so far, but will be adding from here on in.

It's just not worth the frustration - they just want to goad and provoke is all and say the most outrageous things and lies just to get your goat.

[SoFlaJet]

39. I added another one today KG

that makes 5 and I'm a happier person here, with them gone

[On the Road]

12. If You Remember, During the Leadup to the Impeachment Hearings

Bill Clinton was scheduled to give a State of the Union address.

Later, Pat Robertson made the following comment on the 700 Club: "They might as well call off the impeachment process right now. That speech was a home run."

[apocalypsehow]

13. I agree this race is basically over Senator Obama will be our nominee. But the one person I have on

ignore I'm going to keep there - too much viciousness, dishonesty, and hate from that poster. I don't want to see it.

[Megahurtz]

71. Kick. n/t

[cbayer]

15. Didn't you sign up here?

[flor de jasmim]

17. And thanks to someone who mentioned that we COULD put people on "ignore"

I hadn't realized that when I first signed on--life has been happier the last few days...

[plantwomyn]

18. Meow

What if Obama was on ignore?

[my3boyz]

19. I will keep my ignores on until the day after the election.

Most (not all) of the Hillary supporters are vile and will continue to post crap to keep Obama from becoming the next president.

[greguganus]

50. After the election alot of those ignored Hillbots will go back in their holes. n/t

[zonkers]

20. Fired up, ready to go?!!!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

21. They're going ballistic more than usual, a sure sign Hillary's about ready to fold her tent.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. It Will Be Interesting To See Obama's Path To Victory Without Half The Democratic Party

http://www.themonkeycage.org/2008/03/opponent_dissatisfaction_among.html


woot

[EFerrari]

27. Half the Democratic Party isn't full of mean spirited zealots.

Thank Gawd.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. He's Only Getting Sixty Five Percent Of Democratic Voters Against Grand Pa

If those numbers hold up victory in improbable...

Respectfully, you live in the most liberal area of the nation and that informs your view...

Visit Orlando, Scranton, Columbus, Paramus, Staten Island, Grand Rapids, etcetera and see if folks share your views...

We are parochial creatures... We seek out folks who think like us, have them holler our own opinions back at us, and consequently think everybody thinks like us...

[EFerrari]

36. My brain is not planted in this salty soil, lol.

There are a lot of reasons why he's polling behind McCain right now. The obvious is McCain is the declared Thug candidate where Obama is still only a contender.

I personally think either candidate could wipe the floor with McCain if we do adequate election protection. But, I'm just an English teacher.

You're right about seeking out people who agree. They're much nicer, smarter and they smell good.

:)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. "English Teacher"

My greatest regret was goofing off in English classes...

[boppers]

52. By half, do you actually mean:

"Less than half", otherwise, she wouldn't be behind in states, delegates, or votes?

FWIW, the word "half" generally implies equal amounts, not consistently unequal amounts.

[JackORoses]

69. are you voting for McCain?

Most Hillarites will get over it when it comes down to November.
Maybe not the racists, but who really needs them anyway?

[Tarheel_Dem]

23. No way I let them out of the dungeon.....

As a matter of fact, i've just added a couple. I'm up to 36 now, 9 of whom have been TS'd. I have never seen "spinning" to this degree before. They are trying to spin this as bad for Obama? I've scoured DU, and the web, and looks like he hit a homerun. Expect the polls to reflect that in a couple of days.

Major speech on Iraq tomorrow as well. Obama's got campaign advisers who know what's really going on over there, and I hope he paints a realistic picture for the American people, without McCain's spin.

[Growler]

24. not turning off ignore yet...

I've been a DU member since 2004 (but very rarely post), and never thought to use the ignore list until recently. I don't mind the tears and screams from certain people, but what drives me bonkers is the illogic (2+2=5) and out-right racism. Today's speech by Obama seemed to bring the last few racists out of hiding, and I've added more people to ignore today than I have before. :(

[TwilightGardener]

25. I don't care what the polls say at this point--I think the SD's will have

their faith in his abilities renewed or confirmed, and they will recognize that he is the future of our party, and they will start to seriously shift his way--and that will be that.

[Steely_Dan]

28. Now, why would...

you say such things? That's just mean. Apparently you have no class. (and I am not a Hillary supporter).

-P

[goodgd_yall]

47. Thanks

What a way to sh*t all over the message Obama gave in his speech today.

[Corkey Mineola]

29. Your candidate is a better person than you are, no?

I'm sure Barack Obama would not "approve your message" of pleasure at the disappointment of your opponents.

Why not open your arms and welcome the Clinton supporters as we join behind Obama?

Won't it take ALL OF US to elect him the next President of the United States?

[meow mix]

34. absolutly. i admit to being mere rabble.

i dont mind.. everyone has thier niche

[Corkey Mineola]

42. well where's my hug, rabble?

: )

[goodgd_yall]

48. You're cute

;-)

[Corkey Mineola]

54. aw shucks

:toast:

[akbacchus_BC]

58. I like your response, very classy. I do not support the OP's

statement. I do not know how to use the icons, however, here's a hug for you.

[11 Bravo]

65. Good, the "I can't comprehend spelling, punctuation, or capitalization" niche must be occupied.

[JuniperLea]

31. I haven't seen the announcement from Skinner as yet...

Link? If not, cool your jets...

[featherman]

37. The nomination was all over but the shouting after Wisconsin

That's when I turned off my ignores. There is still a lot of screeching and thrashing about from the 20% or so that are holding out hope for a Senator Clinton miracle comeback. It is not happening in the actual world of Democratic politics.

Senator Obama is the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party and will be the clear winner of the majority of delegate votes on the first ballot in Denver. That's how these things work when you win the majority of delegates. It will be Senator Obama running against John McCain in the GE. He deserves our whole hearted support.

All the viciousness directed against Senator Obama on the board is directed against the Democratic standard bearer and can only be to the benefit of the GOP at this point. I am just sorry to see this continuing and petty demonization of such a fine, if imperfect, man and excellent progressive candidate by a small cadre on what should be a vanguard board for progressive, not DLC, Democrats.

[MindMatter]

72. The Clinton campaign is a little hard to watch

In Plainfield Indiana last weekend, Obama announced an event in a high school gym. Sold out 5000 seats in 30 minutes.

Bill Clinton is making the rounds in Indiana and he's drawing groups of 50 people at the local firehouse.

The Clinton campaign explains this as a good thing. It seems that Hillary's campaign is intentionally having micro-events because she really wants to meet with people individually.

Come on, lady. Give it up. You are making you and your old man look pathetic.

[greyghost]

38. Better calm down and wait for the numbers to come in.

[stillcool]

41. I'm just starting mine over....

A little while ago I deleted it. What a mistake that was. I made a decision today that I am not going to get involved in the scorched earth strategy. They can try to burn down any chance of unity in this country, but I am not going to help them.

[krkaufman]

44. And you could have done so without initiating such a petty thread

... that does little for others' opinions of your preferred candidate or you.

[Bluebear]

55. No, actually this poster is not capable of that

[helderheid]

45. I'd reconsider ... it's taken another nasty turn here! I am floored, quite honestly.

[shaniqua6392]

51. I think we should focus more on making sure McCain does not win.

Everyone posts this kind of crap about Obama winning....It's over....Hillary winning...It's over, etc. Won't we all be surprised when we get President McCain? The poll numbers have all three of them in a dead heat at this point. Everyone acts like when Obama gets the nomination, we have won. What have we won? The battle will just be beginning. We should quit using our energy for stupid posts beating up our fellow Democrats. This is more than a fight between Obama and Clinton.

[BlueStater]

56. Real nice

I have no idea how a candidate who preaches unity, hope, and change can attract such obnoxious, arrogant supporters.

[BlueStater]

57. self-delete n/t

[boppers]

59. I'd turn off my ignores, but from what I can tell, they're just getting worse.

Seems that some folks would rather see the party go down in flames than vote for Obama.

Maybe they're just the kind of folks who would rather fight than love.

[knixphan]

60. I just started using my ignore

I've found it to be a great little trick - how'd it take me so long?

Gonna keep it a while longer.

[11 Bravo]

62. Glad to see you haven't abandoned your gracious tone.

Why don't you grab one of your precious kitties and waltz your way right off a fucking cliff?

[meow mix]

63. after days and days of racist comments from them.. i have abandoned the gracious tone

this is true =)

[11 Bravo]

68. I must have missed the millisecond when you actually adopted a gracious tone.

[donheld]

64. You are a fool

leave those ignores in place awhile. :D

[DemzRock]

66. Hey, I'm an HRC supporter, but it's far far far far far more important for

ANY Dem to defeat McBush.

I think HRC would be better with the economy, but I KNOW McBush will be worse for everything than BO or HRC.

[Megahurtz]

67. Me too.

Woo hoo!
