First shot of Tweety in Denver shows nothing but Hillary signs behind him, held by PUMAs (which

[hisownpetard]

Tweety couldn't quite get straight). Mentioned it 3 times, slowly (Party. Unity. My. Ass.), slowly, while everyone in back of him
was chanting.

Not 5 minutes into the thing, and steam is coming out of my ears. To be honest, I blame Hillary and Bill for this.
They could have brought Hillary's supporters to line up for Obama a LONG time ago, if they'd wanted to.
I mean, Hillary forgave McCain for saying that her daughter, Chelsea, is ugly, etc., etc. - and she forgave him enough to
come around and state, over and over, how McCain was ready and qualified to be President; but she (and Bill, even more) apparently
can't "forgive" Obama for his 'sin' of winning a political contest for the nomination

What a sad way to start our big 'show.'

1. Unity=Blame Hillary for a few?

[FrenchieCat]

2. Turn that shit off.....watch C-Span.

The convention has started.

The bullshit needs to be ignored.

[ClayZ]

10. Yeah!

Did you hear the children singing>

Bravo!

[kevinmc]

16. Yes ... Commercial and Pundit Free on C-SPAN Here

CSPAN 1

[goclark]

24. We at DU are smart enough to turn it off, the rest of America

is watching this B S and believing it to be gospel.

[DainBramaged]

3. It has nothing to do with PUMA's and EVERYTHING to do with Reich-wing operatives

Bullshit, these people wouldn't be satisfied if you performed a human sacrifice to Hillary. We are being had.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

9. The more of this I see

the more convinced I am that you are 100% correct. These people are not and have never been Democrats.

[goclark]

25. But America does not know the difference and the Media will

never tell them the truth.

This is a hit job on Democrats --- has ROVE all over it.

[VolcanoJen]

27. And, the moment the GOP and McCain are called on it....

... they'll scream POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! until they are absolutely blue in the face.

Our only hope is that they all collectively pass out. :-)

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

32. Just posted the same thought in another thread

These swine are paid Repuke operatives and this whole operation reeks of a sleazy Rovian psy-op.

[hisownpetard]

11. I should've known! I think I must've had a little TIA there...

[VolcanoJen]

26. Damn straight.

This is nothing more, nothing less, than a classic, epic GOP ratfuck. Those people aren't Hillary supporters, and they're most certainly not Democrats.

This is orchestrated chaos, this isn't the first time they've done this, and the aim is to make Barack Obama a bit player in the drama. Even Mike Barnicle and Chuck Todd aren't convinced that what they're watching is actually real.

[Frances]

4. If you start blaming Hillary, then McCain wins

I feel sure that half those people and all those signs were paid for by Repubs

[tigervalentine]

12. If Hillary has any leadership qualities

she'll do something about that crap. If she doesn't act, *then* McCain wins.

[leftofcool]

18. What should she do? Zap the crowd with her super girl raygun?

[Marrah_G]

19. I see you are enjoying the faux division

[LSK]

5. ITS A FAKE SETUP

There is no disruption on the convention floor:

6. I think it's the Brooks Brother's mafia, florida circa 2000.

and their den mother Pat Peale.

[high density]

7. He's talking about it again

Now using polls to talk about it.

[monmouth]

8. C-SPAN...wonderful coverage and commentary on thearea...n/t

[Captain Hilts]

13. Stop letting this McCain loving, Hillary hater play you for a fool. nt

[otohara]

14. I'm Watching The CONVENTION

and so far, I'm pleased as punch - otherwise I'd be screaming at MSNBC and this horse-shit non-stop Hillary coverage.

[Marrah_G]

15. You were just manipulated by the media

They want us divided. Drama pays their bills. You see what THEY want you to see.

[medicswife]

20. Three Cheers for your analysis!!!!

It's spot f'ing on!!!!!!! That's exactly what is going on.

[hisownpetard]

21. Duh - I feel like a fool! How could all these months of a steady DU diet not allow me to see

through the subterfuge?

Oh, well - a little trans-ischemic attack never hurt anyone (much).

22. i would at this time like to make an observation

i know at least some of the puma members used to post here. they've since been banned and told to get bent. imho
the extreme partisans for both sides should have cooled their jets a while ago.
i realize that some maybe even a lot of hillarys more enthusiastic supporters were less than good losers, but plenty of the more enthusiastic obama supporters were less than gracious winners.
i believe that the hurt feelings suffered by the clinton faction could have been soothed, unfortunately many from the winning side had the attitude of "we won, fuck you" and then political differences got blown into personal slights.

it'll be a sorry turn of events if obama loses by a few hundred votes in a swing stste, it'll hurt even more to find out that the puma group managed to put mccain over the top.

[hisownpetard]

23. You've just put my worst nightmare into words.

[JFN1]

28. Matthews: "We're about a mile away from the convention, I don't know why..."

At the beginning of his show, he said this.

I think he went looking for this PUMA crowd, who are, apparently, about a mile from the convention.

He sure is a piece of work...

[Ian David]

29. What do you want to bet that Roger Stone turns out to be behing the PUMAS.

You all remember Roger "Insatiable Couple" Stone, the guy who also brought us Citizens United Not Timid.

[Frances]

30. Him or some other Repub operative

I get really discouraged when I see DUers fall for this crap. If DUers get fooled, then the low info voter will also get fooled.

[Ian David]

31. You read the Health forum lately? n/t
