Dean Supporters; YOU are the weakest link

Dollars to donuts YOU guys are the targets of this stuff, not Governor Dean. The level of emotion the charges the Dean campaign and the Internet sites and even DU makes you vulnerable.

You don't see Governor Dean yelling and carrying on about this stuff do you? Of course not. He's a professional and he knows how to deal with stuff like this.

You guys, with all of your fiery rhetoric and intense beleif in your candidate, would be dynamite in a general election where there was only one enemy, and only one direction for your passion to flow.

The primary is different. Here, that kind of passion is dangerous because it is easily focused on other targets, targets who are also people and who are no more likely to forget or forgive than you are.

If I wanted to sabotage the Democratic Party, I would aim right at you guys and prick and tweak you until you exploded. I think that is what is going on because its the kind of thing I would do.

Don't make it easy for your foes. Get a grip. Think good thoughts, focus your energy on positive thoughts and keep your big mouths (and keyboards) quiet.

Or not. Its up to you. I'm only offering some free advice that might spare you some ulcers and might help your candidate survive the next few months.

You aren't the only people who can sit home on election day, you know.

May I recommend looking here? :)

poo :eyes:

to the Dean bashers. Seem like they're more in need of Pepto Bismal.

Nobody But Dean.

When's your guy going to denounce the ad?

I hear crickets chirping...

n/t

ergo, they are guilty, IMO.

and the highest gullibility quotients.

Sorry, but calling Clark supporters "weak minded" is the job of Freepers and Rove. Why are you doing their work for them?

Guess the pot thinks the kettle's too dark, huh?

I’m a Dean supporter who has not indulged in the behavior you just blasted. Do you think it is a good idea to completely generalize all Dean supporters like you just did?

eom

Dean's supporters are the strongest link… and Dean/Trippi will be the first ones to say it.

Dean supporters are far more dedicated than any other candidate's supporters.

Dean supporters are far more dedicated than any other candidate's supporters.

Bullshit. And you all wonder why we "bash (tell the brutal truth about) Dean". :eyes:

Freepers are creating a twisted perception of Deanies.

I'm fighting it tooth and nail.

Kerry & Gep people crossed the line with their ad. Clarkies had nothing to do with it.

Nope?

Didn't think so.

He stands to benefit from it. Fuck Clark, he's lost my vote should he be nominated.

If he denounces, I'll change my stance.

I miss Ignored. :(

ANOTHER CANDIDATE...EVEN WHEN TAUNTED BY "REPORTERS" ON NATIONAL TELEVISION!

So you need to check yourself on that PAL!

I refuse to even consider voting for any other person should they get the nomination unless they denounce the despicable ad.

;)

Now we're all psyched out and insecure- uncertain that we are mentally healthy individuals that could be an asset to our candidate of choice.

I'm *totally* freaked. OMG I hope I'm not over reacting again.

i am not a 'deaniac,' as i am watching it all, for now. but anyone who wants to tell dean supporters what they're doing wrong best take a look again. obviously they are doing this right.

how many of us agonized to see some, ANY, passion from ANY dem in the last two national elections?
don't you think things are insane enough out there that such passion is all that offers us any hope at all? if not, please look again.

look at the venom of neoconz, and notice who's taken over this country.

sigh.

peace

apparently setting up a meeting place called DUers for Dean I have to wonder what the administrators think of that.

...I said that as an aside, and haven't even returned to the thread. Man, it'd be funny were it not sad.

to the DU mods if we want to have a Dean email list?

:shrug:

You don't have to vote for Dean, you don't have to like Dean, but you will at least have to put up with him. Insulting people will not convert them.

and focus your energy on positive thoughts.

that's a pretty high horse you're straddlin' my friend.

"the weakest link" (ala "get off the island") and then expect anyone to respond to the content attached to the title? The title seems to a tad bit civility-challenged.

This is flame bait.

Thanks,
