Good luck to everyone and please let me remind you
Vote your conscience come November.
I just wrote this letter to the mods and I am out of here.
Take good care. Keep fighting the good fight and be careful out there.

1. You are leaving DU?
I don't know what you are alerting on there -- I can only imagine with the shit I have seen. I hope you just mean you are taking a break for a little bit. At least stay in the HRC forum!

what Horse with no Name was alerting on:

"Please tell me what thrills you about Hillary, besides the fact that she's white."

6. Tonight.
I tore up my voter registration card.
I boxed up my political books and put them in the closet.
It's over for me.
I used to think the Right was horrible...but I see we learned well from our enemy and now we are just as bad.
I am done.

7. Please don't tear up your voter registration card over the nuts on this site.

They aren't worth it! This is just a message board that has attracted a lot of crazies. What's going on in the real world is much too important to give up the fight.

3. They are sickening out there ...
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 01:21 AM by SaveOurDemocracy
BO supporters make personal attacks, label people racists, stalk, and pile on until decent members have had enough of the abuse.

jg*** is one of the worst ... but when once respected members add to his attack by asking this question: "Please tell me what thrills you about Hillary, besides the fact that she's white?" ... you know that there's no hope, no reason to continue any discussion.

12. I agree.
I have canceled my monthly donation and wrote a long detailed letter why. It will be ignored, of course. Good luck to all of you, as I have no idea how long I'll be able to post here (don't know when the removal of my star becomes official). I have been ignoring most of this site and coming to this group for a dose of sanity.

13. Voting my conscience would mean,
NOT voting Obama. I might write in the Green candidate, or I might write in my dog. I won't vote for McCain, but that's about as much loyalty as I will have left to the Democratic Party should BO get the nom. It has been a media and internet crucifixion of Hillary Clinton that is absolutely beyond the pale. And the worst part is the far left and many in the Democratic Party leadership are leading the charge. It's amazing that she has withstood the attacks as well as she has. I'm sure the hounds of hell thought they would take her out easily on Super Tues.

I'll hang around on the Hillary forum until and unless BO gets the nom. Then I will be out of here also. Of course if Hillary gets the nom. the situation on DU in general will be totally different, per DU rules.

27. I agree point for point...
I will NOT vote for Obummer under ANY circumstances, will not vote for McCain, will write in Hillary or stay home, haven't decided.

IF Obummer gets the nom., I will leave this place for good and most likely leave the Dem Party for good.

As Kevin Costner said in JFK, 'This is not the country I was born in and it certainly isn't the country I want to die in". I don't recognize this country and certainly not this party any longer.

14. Damn...
the blatant support by the mods
of the Hillary hate sickens me
too. Please keep in mind that
this little corner of DU is our
safe haven, leave the rest of DU
but at least visit us Hillary
supporters here once in a while.

16. It's getting worse
No moderation of the BO crazies at all. The person who started that thread has given me a hard time. I truly believe she is in love with O. From day 1 she has called me crazy, dumb and has accused me more times than 1 of being a racist. I have seriously though of withholding my donation to DU, and probably will if this crap continues.

17. It is definitely getting worse.
I will say this, I was reading a study
of people who read political blogs and
forums and it was only 22% of the people
polled did so. The percentage of Obama
supporters here remind me of the 26% of
hard core bushies that still support the
Criminal-in-Charge. Irrational, loud, and
obstinate...using obtuse arguments that have
no standing. Circular logic is a favorite
of Obama supporters and that is something
Chimpy should hold the patent on. Telling
about the Obama supporters IMO.

I also have to keep in mind that the Ron Paul
supporters from the RP web forums mounted a
cyber assault on 'the site that must not be
named' and succeeded in dividing it so bad that
half of the members spintered off to a new board
that sees far more traffic and many long timers
were also banned. This may be happening here
with all the new posters that en masse show
up in threads seeming to echo each other.

19. Yep, the Ron Paul supporters are here and posing as Obama supporters.
By best friend for 22 yrs. is a Democrat who regester in AZ as a Republican to vote for Ron Paul. He blindly followed RP's stance on doing away with IRS and the Fed Bank. Happy to say that he will go back and vote for a Democrat. He know's that I post on Democraticunderground and he warn me that the Ron Paul extreme fanatics were going to invade websites to promote Obama.

23. What is their objective?
Is it just to sow disunity among Dem ranks? I know they don't care for McCain. I overheard a couple of them on Saturday lamenting their choice in November. They seemed to assume that Obama would be the nominee.

21. Well, in this thread


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5020449&mesg_id=5038550


I have been accused of emotional blackmail and have been badgered by skater314159. He also referred to another poster as being "mentally ill."

He's on my ignore list so I can no longer alert on him/her. I think that others should alert on this disgusting POS posing as a human being.

And no, I don't care if I'm calling out another poster. I've been called out in the past and nothing has been done about it.

15. HWNN, I wanted to tell you that you've been a fave poster of mine for a long time
And I understand. I'll be gone when my star goes, since I will not donate at this point. We should have a check-in place somewhere online...

18. I'm sticking around for a while
But I'm not sure what I'll do if we don't get our vote counted here in florida. Also, I haven't decided about what I'll do with voting for Obama.

24. Yes, we need a check-in place. I've no doubt all of us get many alerts
a day and the biased mods are just searching for way to tombstone us.

I think I'm going to go to Bartcop for awhile. I used to post there several years ago.

Please someone organize a spot to meet before we all lose touch.

I am going to hold on here as long as possible. I'm trying hard to not let them provoke me into breaking rules.

28. propaganda mills
I am surprised that more people don't suspect that the right wing propaganda mills are orchestrating this. It has many of the ear marks of a right wing dirty tricks campaign, and would be so easy to do.

Strange that the more organized, better financed, and more skillful the right wing dirty tricks machine becomes, the less supsicious Dems are.

30. Babylonsister is a chronic offender
Some time back she posted that her heritage was mid eastern and was hurt by various remarks about Iraqi's and such. I felt sorry for her then, but not now. After boo hooing about remarks she claimed were aimed at her about dark skin she then goes and posts about Hillary being White.Pot calling the kettle black.I believe I know who the racist one is now.
