PUMAbots think that Dean/Obama moved the CONVENTION to Chicago
:rofl: I knew these people were horribly misinformed, but geezus...... :rofl:


It sorta dawned on me last week when I was discussing the Recreate68.org threats and the PUMA and FDR protests- the choice to move the DNC to Chicago isn't just because of putting it under Daley's slimey fingers- it's to quash any dissent raised.

In 1968, the Chicago police were deployed to crush demonstrators. And just last month, we saw protesters picket the DNC repeatedly for the RBC rules violations amongst other sins. If the DNC is in Chicago and Daley has the desire, he'll crush protesters just like his daddy did.

It's not just about crushing dissent on the Internet anymore with threats of lawsuits and spam rating sites and TS'ing posters- it's about beating them with clubs and gassing them.

When they go too far, and they will- there will be more defections to the GOP. PPP and his buddies may have gone too far with this move and tipped the scales more than they intended.

Just watch. As PUMA's get more pissed and the Summer heat really gets started, we'll start to see false arrests, demonstration permits being denied and folks being put in the hospital by Chicago's finest.


My God, are they really this stupid?

2. Somehow, they're describing themselves as "the silent majority"
instead of the more reality-based "eleven really loud & obnoxious brain dead prisoners".

That's one big reality gap, right there.

12. I have no problem at all with supporters of Senator Clinton. None.
But these folks look to me like they're using her candidacy as an occasion to let their ugliest freak flag fly. It's probable that every candidate picks up "supporters" of this kind.

6. I hear Daley will set up "free speech zones" to prevent
protestors from making their voices heard at the time of the convention.

17. People are getting confused between "convention" and "committee",
Both of which are called the "DNC".

The Democratic National Committee was moved to Chicago by Dean and Obama, but since no events take place there, it's irrelevant.

What these idiot racist Shillbots think is that the Convention was moved to Chicago.

18. Yes, I see that now.
Let's hope the PUMAbots and the recreate68 dopes GO TO CHICAGO in August.

Wouldn't that be GREAT?

9. I think it would be really neat if all 12 of them showed up in Chicago
for the convention that is in Denver.

Yes they really are that stupid, at least some of them. The others are deliberately pushing this crap.

It's a group of disgruntled Hillbots who won't take the hint from Hillary herself, and let it go.

28. Actually, it looks like they changed it
to "People United Means Action". The orginal one may have been just a tad inflammatory.

26. Why does anyone bring attention to these tools?
If they can't handle voting in their own best interests, let them rage impotently in their little clubs.

The rest of us have already moved on.

27. Oh they did!
That's right, PUMAs, make sure you're in Chicago for the convention. You need to protest and make your voices heard. In Chicago. Where the DNC convention will totally, completely be. Don't forget. Chicago.

Don't go to Denver. Nothing there. Just tumbleweeds.

31. I wonder how many of these "PUMAs" are also "cougars".
Me-ow!

I can't believe they're actually referring to themselves as "PUMA's". How hilariously sad.

I see that it says part of the DNC moved to Chicago. What we have here is a failure to READ!

Because they're also a member there.

No names mentioned, of course.

Edited on Mon Jun-30-08 05:29 PM by newmajority


Posted by someone who still posts here and is overdue for a pizza, a self decribed "administrator" of that anti-Democratic shithole:

I can certainly understand why they spend time reading our board, theirs is dull and predictable as hell. It's either an Obama ass-kissing fest or a let's bash someone who dared to criticize Obama fest.

It appears some people need to take some reading comprehension courses.


Reading comprehension is not this issue. Hillbots trying to bury a turd in their sandbox is. Let's review, shall we?

"It sorta dawned on me last week when I was discussing the Recreate68.org threats and the PUMA and FDR protests- the choice to move the DNC to Chicago isn't just because of putting it under Daley's slimey fingers- it's to quash any dissent raised.

Now how exactly is Mayor Daley going to dispatch stormtroopers to crush protestors in DENVER, you fucking morans???

Oh.... BTW....

I got a question for you though....

Since when do supposed "liberals" refer to fellow DU'ers as "DUmmies"?

Just like the Freepers do.
