Please respect our nominee and stop bashing Hillary and her supporters!

[JuniperLea]

Following his lead is the best thing to do. To continue in a fight he has already claimed victory over is an insult to him. Show how much faith you have in Obama! Spend your energy fighting the REAL enemy, just like Obama is doing now.

Watching this feud continue is embarrassing as all hell. I hope Obama never sees this shit!

[K Gardner]

1. Talk to Skinner.. he's the one leaving this place open.

[JuniperLea]

8. It's insulting to Obama to continue a fight he's already claimed victory over!

People should show respect to Obama... not to mention a little fucking self-control.

[Spider Jerusalem]

14. Tell it to Hillary

[JuniperLea]

16. Waaa... I won't stop fighting until Johnny and Janie stop fighting

Time to don the big kid undies and do the right thing.

To continue this fight is an insult to Obama, who is showing us the right thing to do by his actions.

[PoliticalAmazon]

47. Wake up. Obama takes the high-road, his supporters do what need to be done...

This is not an unusual political tactic, for the candidate to take the high road and leave the skirmishes to supporters.

What is clear is that Hillary must not be left unopposed. She will shove herself into the Oval Office if she does not meet strong, aggressive, confrontational resistance.

[JuniperLea]

57. Just keep making excuses for your bad behavior

Repeat the meme...

Ugly is ugly no matter how much you want to rationalize.

[rodeodance]

10. its up to mature members to stop the bashing. Its up to the members to have some discipline.

[hokies4ever]

21. And it's up to the losers to CONCEDE

[JuniperLea]

28. It's up to us to follow Obama's lead in this

It's insulting to have people continue a fight he's already claimed victory over. I guess you have not faith in him at all.

What a fucking pity.

[hokies4ever]

32. No, you're the 'fucking pity'

all I said was that it's up to the loser to concede. What's wrong with writing that? Is that treason? Must I reject and denounce myself for stating the truth? Screw you too buddy. :grr:

[JuniperLea]

38. Too bad you don't see how this is counterproductive to what Obama is trying to do

I'm going to follow his lead.

Back at ya...

[bicentennial_baby]

2. I'm not bashing her, but she won't get my respect until

she congratulates Obama on winning the nomination, which she has yet to do.

[JuniperLea]

6. You miss the point

I'm talking about respecting Obama...

This is fucking embarrassing.

[bicentennial_baby]

49. I see your point, and, it's less than 24 hours in...

Give it a few days. People are feeling raw, on both sides. It'll smooth out in due time, I'm sure :)

:hi:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. A-amen....A-amen...A-amen Amen Amen (sing it over)

I seriously hope and believe Barack Obama has better things to do than to look at this trainwreck of a message board. Thank goodness.

[ampad]

4. Oh whatever

This crap is cutting both ways and as long as this part of DU is open it will continue.

[JuniperLea]

9. Give you an excuse NOT to excercise self control, eh?

You can't see this is disrespectful of Obama?

Jeez

[Danger Mouse]

5. She needs to concede.

[JuniperLea]

11. Yes, but that shouldn't stop us from showing respect to Obama

By following his lead.

[Danger Mouse]

18. I have not been saying about Clinton what I REALLY think of her at this point...

because it is not helpful and I do want unity.

[JuniperLea]

20. She should be completely ignored

The continued talk only further divides the party. Obama knows this. We should start treating him like a leader by following his lead.

[Danger Mouse]

Probably for the best to ignore her, but I do worry...

i agree that concentrating on the GE is the healthiest choice all around at this point.

[JuniperLea]

31. I understand the worry...

But we need to have faith in Obama and follow his lead.

[Window]

45. He should also be the story of the day on the news after his historic win. Is he? No, Hillary is

because of whatever-the-hell-it-is-she-thinks-she's-doing and it, rightfully, pisses people off.

[JuniperLea]

58. Oh come on! You have more self control than that don't you??

How the hell can anyone control the GOP's media??? That is absurd. The only thing more absurd is buying into their bullshit. Honestly!

[bicentennial_baby]

50. If her refusal to concede weren't the story of the day, it would be much easier

to ignore her. Just sayin'. :)

[JuniperLea]

59. The media is seriously fucked up...

Too many are giving the media too much power... we know they produce 99.9% rubbish! Why buy into their bull?

[bicentennial_baby]

61. Upon that, we are agreed

:toast:

[bunnies]

7. Has Hillary started respecting our nominee yet?

Didnt think so.

[JuniperLea]

13. I don't know about you... but I wear big girl panties...

I don't need Johnny or Janie to stop fighting before I will. No neener neener with me.

You should learn to show Obama some respect.

[bunnies]

22. I have never disrespected Obama.

Nor do I appreciate your false accusations.

Furthermore, I am well within my right to criticize Hillary Clinton (D) for the big "fuck you" she gave to the Democratic party last night. If you dont agree with that, its simply too damn bad. It has nothing to do with Obama.

[JuniperLea]

24. False accusations my lily white ass!

It has everything to do with Obama. Why insult him? He's claimed victory. Either you believe him and you are ready to move on with him, or you lag behind and pull his image down.

How sad. You should have more faith in him.

[bunnies]

26. What the hell are you talking about?

Where exactly did I insult Obama?

[JuniperLea]

35. By continuing a fight he's already claimed victory over...

Time to follow his lead and move on to the REAL campaign. Anything less is an insult to his decisions and his leadership. If we can't follow his lead, it shows he has no leadership ability. Bull fucking shit.

Time to act like Obama!

[bunnies]

37. Now that Ive read the entire thread...

I see there is no point in continuing this conversation.
Carry on.

[RooferDem]

12. Why on Earth would we stop bashing the person ...

... who still defines herself as an opponent of the presumptive nominee of the party we all belong to?

[JuniperLea]

15. Because it's the right thing to do

Because Obama is showing us the way and we should show him some respect by following his lead.

To continue fighting a battle he has already claimed victory over is an insult to him.

[RooferDem]

23. If you think that I show Barack Obama disrespect when I say

that Hillary Clinton is batshit crazy for not conceding, then the rest of this thread is meaningless.

The last thread I started advised everybody to lay off HRC until today. Before today, she was a cyst. Now, she is a malignant tumor. If you leave a tumor unchecked, it will eventually kill you. If you deal with it early enough, you might just survive.

Nobody save maybe you is naive enough to think that HRC will conduct herself in a manner that benefits the party if we just leave her alone.

[JuniperLea]

27. Obama has claimed victory... either you believe him and support him...

Or you don't. Your choice.

I'm supporting him, fully and completely. I'm following his lead, which is obviously what he would want us to do.




"Nobody save maybe you is naive enough to think that HRC will conduct herself in a manner that benefits the party if we just leave her alone."

Um, no. That would be me, people like me, and Obama. I'm just following his lead. You can continue to insult him by not believing him and supporting his decisions, I won't.

[RooferDem]

33. Great job! I hope that works out for you!

[JuniperLea]

36. You can continue to insult Obama if you like...

You'll look really stupid. But it is your choice.

He has leadership... I'm following his lead to prove that. You want to insult him by ignoring what he is doing, fine.

[lildreamer316]

54. To prove you have some sort of compassion?? Unlike Republicans?

I think that's a pretty good reason.
Otherwise, you have just sunk to their level.
Congrats!!

[NorthernSpy]

17. She needs to concede and to admit the legitimacy of her opponent's victory...

She needs to stop egging on her more extreme followers. She needs to stop feeding their delusion that she was somehow "robbed" of the nomination.


Until she does those things, we'll continue to blast her, because she continues to act against us.

[JuniperLea]

19. So, you'd rather continue in your insult against Obama?

You can't see that it's an insult to Obama to continue in a battle he has already claimed victory over?

You don't believe him or have faith in him, do you?

[NorthernSpy]

25. He has his role; I have mine.

:hi:

[JuniperLea]

29. Whatever... I choose to follow his lead...

I hope there are more like me than like you, because your actions are an insult to him, plain and simple.

[NorthernSpy]

34. You don't fool me for a minute.

Never have.

[JuniperLea]

40. You are delusional

Whatever floats your sinking ship.

No one will pull Obama down quite so effectively as those who continue to fight a battle he has already claimed victory over.

[PoliticalAmazon]

30. Have seen only one or two "bashings" of Hillary supporters today....

And you can't REALLY want us to lie down like good little doormats while Hillary continues to divide the party?

She is a bully and the sooner the DNC stands up with her and forces her to back down, the sooner we can leave her behind.

The DNC isn't going to be aggressive if their voters are meekly watching in silence everything Hillary is doing.

I don't think it does any good to bash Hillary supporters, but we need to stand up against Hillary's continuing divisive tactics.

Just my take on it...it appears yours is different.

[JuniperLea]

43. We need to follow Obama's lead...

He's stopped fighting her. He has claimed victory. I want to show what great leadership skills he has by following his lead. If you want to continue a battle he has already claimed victory over, you show little faith in him.

[PoliticalAmazon]

46. "...you show little faith in him." He's not Jesus, you know....

and there is more than one way to address a problem than Obama's way.

In addition, while it is important for him to take the high road and ignore Hillary, it is also important for others to stand up to her. She is a bully, just like Bush Jr, and we've gotten a really good look at what those two bullies do if left unopposed.

[JuniperLea]

52. You are an embarrassment

Sorry, that's my opinion.

He'd declared victory. I believe he's trying to lead us now, and I'm going to follow. I'm moving on.

[PoliticalAmazon]

56. When you have to stoop to personal attacks, you've ceded your point....

We have different opinions, which is not unusual on a message board. I've told you why I believe my approach is better. You return with a personal attack.

So it's not okay to criticize Hillery for her douchebaggery, but it's acceptable to personally attack a fellow poster?

I guess we disagree on that, as well.

[EFerrari]

39. Hmm. I don't feel embarrassed to see DU winding this contest down.

But it will be good to move on to kicking McWar b#tt. :)

[Why Syzygy]

48. Read this!

I'm reaching out. Giving benefit of doubt! Why don't you quit playing school marm. It doesn't help Clinton.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6274601&mesg_id=6274601

[JuniperLea]

53. You are missing the point...

I'm NOT trying to help Clinton! Did you even read anything I've said here? This is purely an attempt to show respect and support to Obama. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

I've never supported either candidate until now. I've always said I would support the nominee... that is what I'm doing.

[Crunchy Frog]

51. Respect is earned.

The Hillary supporters on here need to honestly ask themselves what they are doing to earn respect and to promote unity. Hillary will continue to get legitimate criticism here until she begins reaching out and promoting unity.

[JuniperLea]

55. Obama has already earned respect

And this is about respecting him. Jesus.

[bain_sidhe]

60. U / H = PM: Cui bono?

That is, "Unity divided by hate equals President McCain: Who benefits?"

just askin'

[JuniperLea]

62. Pretty much, oh Banshee one:)

Good one! Would make a great bumper sticker.

I thought of another bumper sticker idea today... I can't wait until skin color is only relevant at the Estee Lauder counter.

It's going to be a rough couple more days I guess. Friday can't come soon enough for me.

[Lerkfish]

63. when she concedes, it will stop.

If that is friday, then that will be when.
