Re: BREAKING: It's NOT Over (TDS) (2.00 / 4)

Some Clinton supporters might take it the wrong way but it's inevitable we celebrate. I mean, some of us worked our ass off and it would be nice to savor this historic victory.

Today is a very special day to Obama supporters.

Agreed spaceman, this has been a loooooooooong ass primary season with a lot of ups and downs, I think we're entitled to celebrate a little.

(Especially if the celebration is respectful of Hillary supporters, which this diary happens to be.)

Hey, this is every Democrat's victory, so Clinton supporters should jump in and celebrate that our party has a terrific nominee going forward, and that we can stop battling each other and start taking on McCain.

Yeah keep insulting Clinton supporters. There's another shot of that wonderful unity we need!

Re: you guys aren't voting for us anyway (2.00 / 2)

And I hope the vast Clinton voters are not like you either.

Did you do anything to stop the barage of smear and slander diaries against our nominee.

Are you proud to defend it?

Why not look in the mirror and attack the people who Now, from this momement forward are SLANDERING our future POTUS.

Yeah, you heard that right our next POTUS.

I quiver at the thought of him at the SOTU, an event we will now celebrate instead of scorn.

God Damnit, YES WE CAN!

He/she actually did post a nice diary some time ago in support of Obama once he/she felt that Clinton's chances were all but gone. He/she's not one of the bad guys, as far as I'm aware.

Re: you guys aren't voting for us anyway (2.00 / 7)

Ha, OK, yes, let's hope the vast majority of Clinton supporters are not like me. Defending Obama against smears.

What the hell are you talking about? I did a lot to stop the barage of smear and slander diaries. I posed diaries saying this needs to stop. Where were you in helping me defend him? I've seen you comment on my comments, so I know you know what I'm talking about. If selective memory is your problem right now, I'll forgive it.

Like I said above, I didn't realize this was an Obama love-fest. It is, so I'll step out now. Congrats to Sen. Obama. That's all I have to say here.

You'll need 'people like me' as soon as tomorrow to help elect Obama president, so get some perspective on that.

Re: you guys aren't voting for us anyway (2.00 / 2)

Ok VAAlex, you are right, you are not defending the smear merchants.

Sorry,but I am sick and tired of the attacks on anyone who may have been offended by the Clinton campaign. Are you saying that Obama supporters have ZERO to be mad about?

Im over it, what I don't want is these lasting jabs over nothing.

If al Rodgers wants to put up another funny post, where he is just REPEATING POPULAR culture let him do it.

He is not attacking our nominee or our party.

I see alot of assholes who would love nothing more than see Democrats lose the president and every other "liberal backed" run for office this year.

I would like to see THOSE people attacked for not supporting unity, NOT Al Rodgers.

Re: you guys aren't voting for us anyway (2.00 / 3)

Did I say once ever that Obama supporters have ZERO to be mad about? No, not once. In fact I've defended Obama supporters to no end on here and in real life. So don't attribute that to me.

And by the way the diarist is hardly in a unity mode right now, which is fine. But don't pretend like he is the paragon of unity by putting up this diary.

This diary was not insulting to Clinton supporters, so I take it back. I apologize for that. What initially drew me to call it that was the seeming joke on on them by putting up that clip. But whatever. It is also however, not a 'unity' diary by any means.

I appreciate you apology (2.00 / 2)

you know what got me pissed: a diary on the top of the recommended list saying the AP was planted by Obama to drive down Hillary's turnout. A completely delusional charge that deserved to be lampooned. and what better way than by using a clip from National Lampoon.

really it's hard to keep our hands in our pockets, when so many people shove there way across the blog. at some point people push back. it's only natural.

Re: you guys aren't voting for us anyway (none / 0)

VAAlex,
Thanks for being cool. I've seen what you've done and I appreciate it. Now is not the time to be smug, gloat, or bait. I apologize if anyone does - we should follow Obama's example and be gracious in victory, because it's a victory for all true Democrats.
As opposed to past contests, we've had two incredible candidates. It literally went to the last day. Most of us would have been happy with and supported either candidate, and the historic implications of the first woman and first black candidate are enormous.
I salute Hillary, and as for Obama, I'll keep my mouth shut, as we all probably should.
The Democratic party needs Democrats, all Democrats, to beat McCain.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. And clowns.

you're a good blogger (2.00 / 2)

I like your diaries.

at the same time, there were a number of clinton supporters who repeated, again, last nite, they would not vote for Obama under any circumstance. One of them even posted a bigoted clip from Fixxed News attacking Obama (I would have been banned if I did that to Clinton).

I apologize for including you in the group.

Re: you're a good blogger (2.00 / 3)

I want to double concur, VAAlex I think I already explained myself but you know whats going on.

And as sensitive as we might be to the negative, understand it will be worse if these trolls start attacking the positive.

I started this campaign mentally prepared for Obama to lose, you have no idea what kind of feeling you get when you see the voters prove you wrong.

This might be the first time in my adult life (was 17 when bill left office) that I have felt positive about my government.
Shit two years ago you would never hear me refer to myself as a Patriot. Now I wear that on my sleeve and cary the card in my wallet.

Re: you guys aren't voting for us anyway (none / 0)

Al Rogers, I support Obama (although alas I don't vote as France has been unwarrantedly disenfranchised in this election).

I don't agree with you at all. Clinton supporters are OK. They will support the democratic nominee.

This kind of provocation is out of touch. Don't spoil these historical moments for us, please.

I took that comment back, as it was misplaced. it was largely in reaction to the tone, in light of the various hit diaries posted last nite by others

Thank you. It is an Obama love-fest. He just clinched the nomination. If you can't let his supporters enjoy that then you need to get some perspective.

Hey Alex (2.00 / 1)

Aren't we Obama supporters allowed to be happy about this? By reputation Al is a bit acerbic (I see nothing wrong with that), so people coming in here will either A) be looking for a fight or B) here to celebrate.

I am done calling for calm after what went on here last night. I'll be respectful to real supporters like yourself and to Sen. Clinton but people who post smears and inflame don't deserve to let that happen unchallenged.
