Just a few words of wisdom...

[DeadElephant_ORG]

Just a few words of wisdom from the 20-odd signatories to a  l-o-n-g, rambling, vitriolic petition entitled "Democrats Who Will Not Vote For Obama"

Ken Bennett
I wouldn't vote for this fraud if he were the only person running. … he's NOT QUALIFIED TO BE DOG CATCHER, LET ALONE PRESIDENT.

Stella
Obama … started this race mess because he knew blacks respected the Clintons and he needed them to be on his side so why not make Bill and Hillary and now Ferraro black haters. …

I love my Country, I am a Christian and I promise you me and my family will no longer be members of the Dem party if our party allows this racial trained canidate to become our nominee.

And he better not be #2 on the ticket either or I'm still not voting for him.

… black Americans want a black man to be the President. Heck, if that's how they see it, the O.J Simpson could very well be the nominee.

gracia berry
i am 69 years old … we are all disgusted with the failure of the party to support hillary clinton.

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

4. Disgusting... my god... don't people have any sense at all?

People want to vote for a black candidate only because the candidate they want to vote for happens to be black. Can anyone name another politician of any party, race or gender that is so inspirational and moving? No? didn't think so. Maybe his race isn't why people support him.

Cause and effect has been reversed. NO, O.J. Could not be the nominee.

5. What Your Point In Posting Such Filth Here?

[Johnny__Motown]

6. I hope the point was to show how foolish these positions are

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

8. Why Would That Be A Point? Don't We All Already Know That? Did We Need Examples?

I just don't see the need to give this filth an audience.

[DeadElephant_ORG]

7. We'll take that as your denunciation of the endorsement of these folks

good job

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. You're On DU. You're Preaching To The Choir.

Everyone here but the trolls and utterly braindead would denounce those comments.

But why give the comments an audience to begin with? Do you think people here WOULDN'T readily denounce such positions?

[DeadElephant_ORG]

11. I am very glad to hear that. That petition was pushed HERE on DU. So that creator is HERE.

and possibly those specific signers are here among us.

and THAT was my purpose in posting those comments. So that people like that will learn that they are not welcome here.

Even "rabid" Clinton supporters do not support attacks that kind on Obama or his supporters. And we encourage such "DEMOCRATS" NOT to vote for our candidates.


(sorry it took so long to respond. I was called away on business.)

12. by the way... this is the first time you and I have sincerely agreed about anything.

It's important that as Democrats we not lose sight of our common values.
