Next time you want to purge a large amount of people from the party

[Lilith Velkor]

Could you do it before election year is upon us? Like, say, shortly after the midterms?

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

1. What are you talking about? nt

[Lerkfish]

3. self-inflicted victimhood, manufactured martrydom

pretty much the standard fare today.

[tekisui]

11. It's nauseating.

I have heard Hillary supporters claim that they would be disenfranchised if Hillary is not the nominee or the veep. Utterly ridiculous. To the victor goes the spoils.

If your candidate doesn't win, your candidate doesn't win. This "Oh woes me" shit is getting old real fast.

[Lerkfish]

16. well, if it continues too much longer, it will be beyond nauseating

it will be illuminating.... of people's true allegiances.

[tekisui]

19. We are nearing that point.

Obama hate has people blinded, or they are not Democrats. Either way, they won't be welcomed much longer.

[madmom]

23. I have heard that if Obama doesn't win there will be riots in the streets, so what's the difference?

[tekisui]

26. I heard Limpballs say it.

I don't think it's anything to worry about.

[madmom]

34. I heard some female say it just last night.. I'm not worried, maybe it's time we go to the streets

for something, anything just to gets heard!

[Lerkfish]

35. really? haven't seen that. Got a link? beside Limpballs, I mean.

[madmom]

36. Heard some female say it last night, don't know who or what channel I was in a different room.

[Lerkfish]

42. you heard "some female" say it

well, alrighty then.

55. so you got nothing.

besides telling me to f*ck off.

[madmom]

54. My So (who was the one watching) is home now and said it was Michelle Bernard on

MSNBC. Does that make you happy now?

[Lerkfish]

56. um, not after you told me to fuck off, no, I'm not happy.

but I do know a lot more about your lack of character now, so I guess I'm more enlightened. not happy, though.

[madmom]

59. You call me a liar and then tell me I have no character, how amusing!

[Lerkfish]

63. I asked you for a link, you provided your memory

I said "alrighty then" meaning I guess I don't have a link.

if you want to intepret that as calling you a liar, that's on you. you DID however, tell me to fuck off, which does not predispose me to being civil in return.

[madmom]

65. and then you said "so you got nothing" and yes I interpret that as being called a liar, I've been on

this board long enough to know what's up.

[Lerkfish]

66. yes, you "interpreted"

the internet is a crappy medium for communication. Inflection is missing.

good day to you.

[sybylla]

38. The difference is that Obama has already won

no matter how Clinton and her supporters fudge the math.

[madmom]

52. No difference at all really, just a lot off he said/she said, who the hell really cares?

[jsmirman]

62. That's a huge difference. If you're too dumb to see the difference

you shouldn't be allowed around a computer. You might burn your tongue or something.

[madmom]

64. You're calling me dumb because I refuse to give credence to a he said/she said game,

maybe you should learn a little bit about politics before you hurt yourself, obviously bush's "no child left behind" is working for you NOT!

[jsmirman]

68. Oh, Lord. I'm saying you're being dumb for refusing to recognize a huge difference

it's not even a subtle distinction- it's a gaping chasm between situations.

This is not he said she said- this is "reality supports him, she's insane."

But suuuuure, I'm the one playing dumb.

Post better!!!

[madmom]

71. No ..the thread started as "Clinton supporters say yadda yadda...

I said I heard someone say yadda yadda it most certainly is a case of he said/she said. Unless you want to provide evidence where any of this was actually said by either Obama or Clinton it is totally irrelevant to anything but to incite a flame war.It has absolutely nothing to do with who's winning what.Besides when "supporters" start getting personal with some who might have a different opinion of things it doesn't suggest you're playing dumb, but that you really are! With these kind of arguments you do the Obama campaign an injustice.

[jsmirman]

61. The difference is that he is ACTUALLY winning and for him to lose

requires a robbery. But you can't be this senseless- clearly you're just playing some sort of part, right?

[madmom]

72. The point I'm making is these things were said by supporters not by the

actual candidates so it is merely a case of he said/she said to incite, nothing more nothing less. I don't play those games so I'm dumb? Surely you have something better.

[burythehatchet]

28. and the idea that Democrats should appease other so-called democrats is

absurd.

[bowens43]

2. no one has been purged from the party.

[tekisui]

4. When were voters purged?

[Adelante]

5. I don't know what you are talking about nt

[DefenseLawyer]

6. Who was purged?

Was I? Damn. I would have appreciated a phone call or a note.

[Occam Bandage]

7. You're referring to caucus voters, right? Yes, it would have been much better if the Clinton camp

had voiced their objections to the caucus process now, instead of waiting until May to decide that caucus voters shouldn't count.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Well, we took a first pass in the 60s, now we're making a 2nd pass....

as well as taking the party's reins from the Clintonian hands who want only stagnation.

[LisaM]

9. I know what she's talking about.

It's the relentless attempt to drive Hillary and her supporters off this website and out of the party, since a lot of people seem to think we're a bunch of uneducated hicks, not to mention a few more things I'm tired of repeating.

[bowens43]

12. no one has attempted to drive hillary or her supporters out of the party

cut the drama, it makes you look foolish

[burythehatchet]

31. I am. I dream of a party that represents progressives. Screw the Corporatists and neo-liberals.

[knixphan]

67. hear hear!

[ingac70]

13. Hillary is the one that painted you as an uneducated hick. n/t

[LisaM]

25. Oh, right, all the posts HERE about how Hillary voters are uneducated don't exist -

I just IMAGINED them?

[ingac70]

27. They show themselves...

[LaurenG]

37. Holy Cow!

I hope she just doesn't vote. Talk about unenlightened voters and then talk about the prejudiced sheep and then...

[SoCalDem]

46. A guy interviewed yesterday on CNN actually said

"Obama should try to be less black" :puke:

[LaurenG]

15. Not everyone is pleased with Senator Clinton's action but that has nothing to do with her supporters

does it? Disagreements happen but running away never solves anything, it only postpones things.

Why does it have to be all or nothing?

[anonymous171]

17. hard working white people.

[tekisui]

18. Are you Hillary supporters or Democrats?

If you are both, no one is trying to get you to go anywhere. But, it is fast approaching the time when every Democrat will rally behind the soon to be Nominee.

When we have a Nominee, anyone talking about not supporting that nominee or bashing that nominee is no longer considered a Democrat. We're almost there.

[KAZ]

22. I don't think you're a hick Lisa.

Just kidding. :)

[NewHampshireDem]

43. We know you're lying now ... you're more than happy to repeat them.

Of course, you never seem to be able to link to them, though, right? Or, when they are found, they never seem to have come from Obama supporters ... The perpetual victim line is getting old.

[frylock]

48. you poor thing..

there, there.

[LaurenG]

10. Is this self purging? Are you purging us?

Seriously what's up?

[Crunchy Frog]

14. Who's talking about purging anyone?

This isn't about Joe Lieberman is it?

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

20. I think she's talking about how Hillary wants to override the will of the voters

and change the rules in the middle of the game. That would certainly drive ME off.

[RainDog]

21. Stop blaming others. take responsibility for your own candidate's poor choices

She lost because she ran a poor campaign. because her message was the wrong one for this time. because she is considered part of a negative past that many would like to get beyond.

You know, as a female, you who claim this martyrdom are really embarrassing to me. I thought females knew how to deal with the business/political with some dignity. Instead, you blame everyone except the person whose fault it is that Clinton lost: Clinton herself.

No one is trying to "purge" the democratic party of Clinton supporters. We just expect them, like EVERY OTHER PERSON WHOSE CANDIDATE LOST to get over yourselves.

No one is trying to kick anyone off DU, either. The point is that this insistence that some how she is still viable or that you and she can blackmail the party to get your way is like a tantrum. Grow up.

[BOSSHOG]

24. Lunatic Cult members purging me from my party?? No way!

[DearAbby]

29. We feel your pain....

[msallied]

30. The histrionics continue. Oy vey...

[yardwork]

32. What are you talking about? Who is "you?" Who is being purged?

What did I miss?

[QC]

33. But if the party gets too big, we might win some elections!

Can't have that happen!

Sincerely,
The Teeny Tiny Tent Democrats, DU Chapter

[sybylla]

41. Oh yeah.

HRC is really bringing in the new Dems, with her 1.5 million contributors...oh wait, that was Barack Obama. Well then it must be the campaign offices she set up and staffed for weeks in all 50 states...oh wait, that was Obama, too. Hmmm.

:think:

I think we'll survive and win just fine as a party without HRC. After all, we won the last two presidential elections without her.

BTW, you should have that burr up your backside looked at. My guess is it's starting to get infected.

[stillcool]

39. Is the government purging voter roles again?

or are you talking about certain 'supporters' who are threatening the Democratic Party?

[Texas Hill Country]

40. lol

[Perry Logan]

44. Good one.

[Sundoggy]

45. Sigh... another driveby...

...so quit feeding the trolls, already!

Save it for someone who at least has the guts to hang around their own thread.

[apocalypsehow]

47. Another "cry me a river" nominee. Poor losers repel decent people everywhere, you know? n/t.

:thumbsdown:

[SoonerPride]

49. Is this akin to binge and purge?

That is a serious condition and not to be taken lightly.

[Buzz Clik]

51. Are you leaving?

[anigbrowl]

53. Next time you want to rewrite the rulebook to make sure your candidate wins, do it in advance.

I defy you to find me one statement by Clinton or any of her team between 1992 and 2007 that we needed to scrap the caucus system and adopt the popular vote as our method of selecting the nominee.

[RamboLiberal]

60. And they even had the insider in Ickes who put a lot of these rules

in place! Now they don't like the rules!

[AZBlue]

57. You mean the huge numbers that will leave should Hillary be allowed to steal the nomination?

Well, the DNC will have brought it on themselves by allowing it to happen, if it does.

[Forkboy]

58. I tried to tell my comrades that, but they wouldn't listen.

[Lilith Velkor]

73. Now that's funny.

:thumbsup:

[Raine]

69. Uh no can't do that cause

if it's BEFORE than we won't know who to purge. :crazy:

[Catherina]

70. You purge yourself. I say good riddance to people that idiotic n/t
