Im still seeing cult posts by Obama supporters...Why
I mean they didn't insult you by name. So why still harp about it...

it is over right

they didn't insult anyone in your family...

Shouldn't you just get over it.

like you want Hillary to get over someone calling her daughter a whore and her a pimp.

Im still seeing cult posts...

just sayin...

admit words do hurt...
admit that it matters what is said by the media even if you aren't personally named...
admit that it is far easier to tell someoneto get over it than to get over the same thing yourself...
admit it is easier to say aand hear bad shit a bout the other candidate but not your favorite candidate...

admit it...I dare you

I had to post this via my phone so forgive the typos but this just hit me after seeing another cult post on the latest page just a few moments ago...

1. Obama is the cult leader.
It will be very hard for me to vote for that bastard in the fall.

4. So what? Some Obama supporters have outright said thay won't vote for Hillary in the GE.
Saying it will be hard is much different than saying one won't vote at all for the nominee in the GE if it's Hillary.

15. Even so
Even if they have (which I think is bullshit because they're wrapped up in primary season; as soon as the GE comes around and the reality of McCain sinks in they'll vote for her), I don't think they've ever said they won't vote for "that bitch."

I'm not trying to defend Obama as a cultist, I'm just saying that that kind of language is uncalled for to refer to either of our candidates.

And I'll vote for Clinton if she's the nominee.

19. You don't think that Hillary has been called a "bitch" by DUers?
You haven't been paying attention.

I've heard a lot of RWers call her a bitch, but I don't spend that much time in GD:P.

16. He was never a Clark supporter in the first place.
Half of the so-called "Clarkies" who showed up here in 2003 were really only here to disrupt the Dean threads. You knew who they were, because they all instantly became "Kerry supporters" after Iowa. Then, after 2004, they defended all attacks against the DLC. Now they're all Hillbots. It ain't a coincidence when they all change teams at the same time, 4 times in a row.

And if you were a genuine Clark supporter who doesn't fit this group, don't take offense. Anyone who read this board in the 2003/04 election cycle knew the difference between one and the other.

11. I just googled Bloomberg
I am 48 years and have voted in every election and primary, including school board crap since I turned 18... and I have never "not" voted for the democrat...

I may jump ship, if Bloomberg runs and Obama is our nominee!

...or is it his anonymous supporters at DU?

Hillary Clinton hasn't done anything I'd actually HATE her for...

32. I dislike his rhetoric... his divisiveness and his lack of experience.. and his ego...
I used to like him... but he lacks the experience to be president during a time when our country is in such a sad state after Bush... he is not prepared and he is going to Fuck up our party and our chances of moving forward... he is not allowing people to discuss the issues and he hides from his faults by claiming racism when ever he is challenged... he plays into the media hype and he does not educate his voters.. he claims his voters will not vote if he is not nominated and to me that is divisive... I know people who don't work and have no money who contribute to his campaign and they look at that as a reason to vote for him... the poor need to use their money to feed their families... not for Obama to send booklets to people in the mail and play commercial after commercial on TV... if we vote based on our values... the right person will win...

why do we need to spend money like republicans?

49. You Dislike His EGO??
What the heck does that mean? You dislike his sense of individual existence?

I think the divisiveness has been done by supporters of the candidates and from what I have seen the Clinton supporters win that title.

The experience issue has been debated and pretty well decided as basically a tie.

And as for the rhetoric, what do you think you are doing?

35. Bloomberg is a spoiler.
One man with wealth and influence, spoiling the election. Do you really want that? I don't. I'm playing with the hand I've been dealt, for better or worse.

Having said that, I'll take a good hard look at the polls in Oregon to see whether my vote matters or not, if BO is the nominee.

So I understand.

I also hope women are doing it with Bitch. have a t-shirt that says, "That's Queen Bitch to You!"

I love it but my dad hates it. But I'm 38 so I tell him to take some Geritol and get a life.

25. Hey, maybe some people like being in a cult. Ever think about that? Is it required to
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 04:31 PM by John Q. Citizen
start taking about and stop taking about cults on cue from Hill supporters?

Hill is a free person, she can talk about the "pimping out there daughter" comment for as long or as often as she likes. I understand for the twentieth time why she is upset about a remark some reporter made a few days ago, he's apologized and been suspended, Hill's camp has called for his firing and then not for his firing. I can't wait to hear what the next news out on it is. Maybe Hill will propose legislation so no other candidate will have to go through what she did. "The Nasty Comments About Candidates Law."

Words do hurt. But Hill has proven repeatedly that she is quite capable of using words to hurt when it suits her.

Hillary isn't a victim, Hillary is a candidate for President of the US. Do you think she just abandoned her campaign to deal with this stupid comment or do you think her campaign is incorporating this stupid comment into it's overall strategy?

Nothing wrong with that, anymore than Obama supporters are feeling nouveau cultish
and wish to express that.

It's all good.

I admit it.

Well, was that the anti-brainwashing? Didn't hurt a bit--in fact, it was mostly stuff I already knew, and applies to supporters from both sides.

Now then....GOBAMA!!

41. The VAST majority of cult threads, and references to cults, has been from Obama supporters.
And many of them are of the "stop calling us a cult!" variety... which I find amusing.

46. Good heavens! And I'm the worst offender!
I did not in any way, shape or form use the Xultar name knowing you were a Hillary supporter, in naming the Obama cult leader for you. It was just something I thought was off the top of my head. Talking about here, of course: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4521954&mesg_id=4521954

Then again, if you were a cult leader, disguising yourself as a Hillary supporter would be brilliant strategery. Hmmm. . .

I'm confused. Maybe we can be civil and have some fun here after all.

24/7

I like the lady. I think the irrational hate is stupid as fuck. I'd be happy with any of our 9 candidates.

Why is it that if you defend Clinton you are automatically a Clinton supporter, Can't you be a Democrat that just calls bullshit when you see it?

55. Nobody called Chelsea a whore.
So it's hard to tell somebody to get over something that never happened, but I'll go ahead and do it anyway. Get over it.

As far as the "cult" thing, I'm not personally offended. It's a shameful attempt at voter disenfranchisment, which is sad. But if you want to use it, go ahead. I'll just laugh harder when all this is over.
