Could OBAMA Supporter's PLEASE Stop Trying to Antagonize JOHN EDWARDS SUPPORTERS??!!?
You are DEAD WRONG if you think this will make us embrace your Candidate !
In fact , it will more than likely do just the opposite!
I am not being constantly taunted and beleaguered by The Hill's supporters!
In fact, almost every mean-spirited comment I see on this board comes from Obama supporters!
Take a pill and play nice.

15. Congrats to all Democrats
for once again pulling out an enormous lead in GOTV versus the Republicans.

No matter who we nominate --we're going to be wiping the floor with the GOP.

Obama has signaled that it is ok to go on the attack.

not that it would be impossible but I been sick this week and on here a lot and Jumped to John's defense everytime I saw and attack and I can't remember one with the Hillary banner, but lots of Obama banners. In fact the only people I have blocked so far are Obama supporters and one very angry Kucinich one!

24. "You are ignoring the author of this thread"
That's why I can't report any attacks by clinton supporters - I can't read anything by the nasty ones. My ignore list is quite long now and most of it is Hillary supporters.

10. Just say one word to Obama supporters:
Rezko.

That will shut them up, because they know something wicked this way comes.

11. Hmmm, I have not tried to do that.
I did post a thread this morning about an Obama speech and had a couple apparent Edwards supporters jump on it and say some not nice things. But I don't think that represents all Edwards supporters, nor does it say anything about John Edwards himself.

I am sorry you have had a bad day with the caucuses. Maybe you will see it as good news, if it is true, that your candidate's message has been picked up and parroted by the other campaigns. At least that means the message is getting out.

37. You know this will be the toughest decision I will ever make in an election
I totally believed in JRE message.....but I concur with you about Obama and his supporters. With what I have seen here, NO WAY! I will (OMGOSH) support Hillary. Of course I will go with JRE until the end, after that it will be Hillary (I am pretty sure).

16. I have nothing but sympathy for how JE's supporters here
must feel right now, and I don't agree with you that all the nasty comments are coming from Obama supporters. I've seen several from another camp.

In any case, sorry that your candidate had a bad day. I backed Howard Dean last time around. I know how it feels.

32. So
anyone who posts negatively about the Obama supporters must be a Hillary supporter. This type of accusation is automatic from some people here and, quite frankly, is getting old.

I notice most of the immature antagonizing posts coming from Obama supporters. The lack of class from most of them is partly the reason I will support Hillary if I can no longer support Edwards.

35. If you stop throwing your vote away on someone who can't win
Did you vote for Nader?

Look what that got us!!!!!


Edwards can't win, move on. Pick one that can, even if it is Hillary, make a choice!!!

36. NO!I Way!
I HAVE SUCKED IT UP and backed the Party's ANNOINTED , even if I didn't like them ONE TIME TOO MANY!
If the Party does not support and represent my ideals I may just write in a presidential candidate and focus on house and Senate campaigns.

And if you think you're going to force his supporters into another column, you will be in for a rude surprise Herr Sturmbanfuhrer.

39. They swiftboated Edwards on the blogs and netroots for a year
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 05:36 PM by jackson_dem
Fuck Obama. Fuck his supporters. It is Edwards to the bitter end and Hillary as a last resort.

I personally think this may have been a concerted smear campaign originating at the highest levels of the Obama campaign. It was too soon, too common to be a grassroots uprising. Notice how Edwardians and Hillarites did not begin to attack Obama until very late in the election. Obamites had their swiftboats out on Edwards from the beginning.

40. As an Obama supporter, I hope John stays in the race
I just got on DU a few minutes ago.

If there were some Obama supporters antagonizing Edwards, please accept my apology on their behalf. The race is far from done and I support those that support Edwards.
