Any DUer bashing Senator Clinton after today's speech should be banned from DU.

[MethuenProgressive]

It's time to stop pretending the nothing-but-HillHate-posters belong here.

[joshcryer]

1. Tough luck on that one. Most of the bashers are long time contributors.

[ecstatic]

2. What about continued bashing of Obama? nt

[Blue-Jay]

17. Well...That's OK!

[gulfcoastliberal]

a bit too ironic..

[wndycty]

4. But you can continue your Obama potshots? LOL

What an F'ing joke.

[JoFerret]

46. Move on. Hillary just showed the way for you

Laid out the dem agenda. Forward looking, radical, inclusive.

[Upton]

5. Give me a break

[Oleladylib]

6. oh it'll be clothed in " I don't like her" but, I didn't support her", but

It'll always be sooooooooooooooo important to people to let us know where they stand...I'm still waiting to care about that..

[JoFerret]

7. No more Hillary hate

Banable offence.

She has laid out the agenda for Obama and the democrat campaign

Thank you Hillary.

[chascarrillo]

8. Nice to see you felt the same about our Democratic nominee.

9. I want to know how DU will handle that after noon Wednesday.

Will some still be allowed to malign a Sitting Democratic Senator and Former First Lady?

[Lex]

22. Me too.

It's disgusting.

[tedoll78]

23. Very interesting question.

We'll find-out very soon, and I hope that the mods around here do the right thing.

[LaurenG]

10. I agree with you - she has done a magnificent job. nt

[cliffordu]

11. That's cool, how 'bout bashing you for your usual negative stuff??

[jefferson_dem]

13. Not sure about banning but they need to be shamed into a fucking corner.

She has brought me to tears here. Go Hillary!

15. yeah, ok. 1 campaign speech for VP doesn't undo all the harm she has done to the party.

after all, it's "just a speech" she gave in 2008.

[BlooInBloo]

16. As long as she does nothing to undermine the Democratic Nominee....

Same rules as anyone else.

[bluedawg12]

McSame needs you.

[Moochy]

35. Yes

The OP has moved from the ignore list to my du-no-fly list.

[thewiseguy]

42. I agree

[JVS]

47. amen

[Zavulon]

19. Sure, she reads out a speech that someone else wrote, and all is forgotten.

She never made the assassination remark or hinted that Obama was incapable of carrying the white vote, she's just all sweetness and light now - and ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT SHOULD BE BANNED, BECAUSE THERE'S NO ROOM FOR CRITICISM OF ANYONE WHO HAS DUCKED BOSNIAN SNIPER FIRE!

[bluedawg12]

32. Sure- don't seek unity with her supporters

Yes You Can- go it alone?

[Zavulon]

54. Seriously, what percentage of

Hillary supporters likely to vote do you think will actually vote for McStain? (I'm actually curious to know your opinion on this.)

Hillary's speech today is the exact opposite of what she felt up to a week ago, it's a good bet she didn't even write it herself, and now we're supposed to kiss her ass? Anyone who wants to pucker up is free to do so, but I sure as hell won't.

My candidate didn't get nominated in 2004, and I voted for Kerry anyway. If Obama had lost, I'd vote for Hillary (even though I honestly loathe her), because the alternative is someone even less stable than Bush.

Yes, some people might stay home instead of supporting Obama, but think of all the conservatives that will stay home because Fred Thompson or whatever the other conservatives of choice were lost. McStain is not anyone who excites conservatives, especially with his stance on illegals.

I don't have the exact numbers, but if memory serves Hillary got about 18 million votes. A fair amount of those were Rush Limpballs supporters who think the electoral process is a game for Rush's amusement, but let's assume that 15 million actually voted for Hillary. I think we both know that those 15 million won't all vote for McStain, so what do you mean, mathematically, when you say "go it alone?"

[OneAmerica]

25. You from Methuen, MA?

I grew up there.

[BooScout]

26. I agree.....

It's time to start attacking Democrats and attack the Republicans. Skinner, you need to clamp down on the Hillary hate now. They are not contributing to unity if they continue with their petty bullshit.

[DS1]

29. It's time to start attacking Democrats

There's a Mr. Freud on the phone for you

[LaurenG]

39. LOL

no shit.

[rucky]

27. Is that your way of saying "Great Speech"?

because it was.

[2008]

28. The "bashing" should have stopped three months ago!

Since she chose to undermine the Dem candidate until today, the "bashing" will no doubt continue until Skinner's Wednesday deadline.

[Life Long Dem]

30. It's an emotional moment.

But I don't think it's the same as being the Democratic nominee. As far as giving someone the boot for saying the wrong thing.

[OneSelf]

31. No More Bashing!

I agree with you. Hillary was amazing today.

We can keep their feet to the fire on the issues, but the personal bashing has to end.

[kwenu]

33. We need to be united but we also should lighten up on these stick in the eye or else threads too.

[Julius Civitatus]

34. About time. The level of Clinton-hate has been unacceptable

These boards need to be brought back to sanity.

[OzarkDem]

36. Same for Big Dog

He's a great man who is the party's greatest supporter and a tremendous source of pride. His (and Al Gore's) administration was one of the best in Dem history.

[EmilyAnne]

37. It will be ok, Methuen.

This has been such an emotional roller coaster for so many of us. Just like the few people booing at the mention of Barack Obama during Hillary's speech just now, its just venting. It will all calm down soon, but some people just need to let their frustration out. Of course, any racist or sexist comments against either candidate (or anyone for that matter) should be alerted. Other than that, it will take a bit of time for every one to start trusting one another's intentions again.

[Turn CO Blue]

38. Completely unambiguous, unequivocal endorsement of Obama

[thewiseguy]

40. You should not be the one talking about this

[Yael]

41. It as an amazing, moving, heartfelt speech

Lets hope it can undo the damage of the last 4 months.

[newmajority]

It was a great speech

But I still don't want her on the ticket.

That ain't bashing, just reality. It's not "Change" if we keep the BushClinton thing going.

The speech was the one she needed to deliver to her supporters. And as you could hear from the boos in the crowd when she mentioned our next President, the Hillbots still don't get it.

[shadowknows69]

43. I bashed Hillary before she was a Presidential candidate and as her constituent

I'll probably continue to when her actions warrant it. If she supports President Obama well in the Senate then I'll probably have less cause to do so.

[Doityourself]

44. You gonna stop taking shots at the Dem nominee?

[hfojvt]

45. I have a life time of working for progressive causes

and also of belonging to the working class.

She has a speech she made three months too late.


I guess the journey to undo a thousand miles of damage begins with a single step.

[NYC_SKP]

48. So, she gets a pass on future bad behaviors?

Should there be any, and I'm not saying that there will be.

She's free to do nothing overt to support Obama, but if she neglects to take action where there are opportunities to prevent a Republican win, it's our duty to call her on it.

[jonestonesusa]

50. Can we still criticize Clinton's votes if we disagree in the future

or is that banned too, now that you're the oh-so-objective moderator?

It was a lively and necessary debate that we all had during the primaries. Learn to distinguish fair criticism from flaming, practice that standard yourself, and we're all good.

[busymom]

51. Agree.

[ima_sinnic]

53. well, let's see what she does after this--after all, it's "just a speech" and

actions speak louder than words.

she has been rather treacherous before--why should I believe everything is going to be different now?
she got the word that she better "make nice" if she wants the continued support of the Democratic big-wigs, but that doesn't guarantee that she'll keep it up.

I reserve my right to bash any "Democrat" who is really a DINO--Lieberman is a good example. That snake had the audacity to run as a "Democrat" VP candidate--now look at him, now that he's a "former Democrat"--he's endorsing McLame.

But nobody is "sacred"--if Democrats need to be called out on their bullshit, we should be able to "speak" freely.

[mvd]

55. Locking

Extreme group attack.
