No one should feel afraid to post a positive post about Hillary or Bill

here. I'm mad as hell at the Clinton camp, but I do know that other folks see it differently, and when I see really good people here writing that they had an experience they'd like to share but know that in so doing they're going to get verbally assaulted, and then that's exactly what happens, I'm standing with that person. And in this case, it just happened to one of the fairest, nicest people on this board.

Positive posts with no backhanded attacks should be fire free zones. I'll go at it hammer and tongs in threads that I feel unfairly attack Obama, but I won't go into positive posts about Hillary or Bill if I don't have something good to say. Can't most of us agree on that?

And this is for dsc, because he's a really good guy and a good poster.

You are a bridge... AND an island, cali!:thumbsup:

My post is entirely within the OPs request.

Be the change you want to see.

And respect those who are trying to elevate the discussion.

What should be isn't what IS.

It's a total joke. People can't even "talk amongst themselves" in the frigging HRC forum, because the "Flies" run around disrupting and alerting. And the mods seem pretty selective about what troubles them, too.

Call someone a Republikkkan because they support HRC? Or a McCain supporter? No problem.

It's a no-win situation. They may as well name this forum Obama Underground, because many of the HRC supporters have left.


It's all good, though. It gets us out and phone banking for HRC, while the tools hang out here slapping each other on the back.

And I've never even looked at the Hillary forum. That's her supporters business.

Go on, make a list of all my GDP posts. I don't play that game.

when cali was trying to encourage people to be more positive.

to withhold donations from DU.

The lack of something positive is hardly the expression of a negative.

Perhaps you should see "A an For All Seasons"

that the Big O crowd will crap on them in every corner of this board, even to the point where they follow them to their own candidate forum.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. That includes putting up a post where you slyly make that point. Otherwise, it is akin to damning someone with faint, or more appropriately no, praise.

:eyes:

sabotage it. There are enough crappy threads to go and dry hump on so why come into a thread when someone is trying to do the right thing and go for the low road?

Just because there's one "take a breather before we resume beating the shit out of the few Clinton supporters who remain here" thread, no one is ALLOWED to be HONEST?

Truth is truth, and all I spoke was truth.

Get over yourself.

at any time, because life is too short for that, and I am an adult. I know what's important, and the assertions of a pissant apprentice baiter on an anonymous message board certainly isn't.

Get over yourself. You really are a bit heavily invested, to the point that you project your own behavior on to others. Not the behavior of a grownup, that.

a concilatory thread meant to encourage people to support others take your vile contemptuous garbage to anyone of the other thousands of threads where it will not be noticed. You state that you are an adult and yet you act the adolescent. Your hostility is conspicuous. The next time someone makes a simple request that people show restraint so that an opposing view be heard resist tht overpowering urge that compels you to embarass yourself with rudeness. There are threads for that - you can even start them yourself. Your patronizing tone is made more ridiculous by the invective you pass out.

I rarely went into a positive Edwards thread, and when I did I said something positive.

and all I can say is on the issues that matter to me Clinton or Obama are the only options in November. I'd be clebrating big time if either won.

bigtree always has good ones

rodeodance had a very good one yesterday about Clinton's policy for adding more police.

threads that highlight personal experiences are the best regardless of the candidate.


Thanks for bringing this up Cali

and this thread has been pretty good. I waited to see what it ended up being before I posted a response. I really do appreciate the Obama supporters who haven't resorted to dishonerable tactics.

This is the real world. Some in PA are bitter.

From what I've seen, this is someone you definitely shouldn't dump on IMO

For whatever it's worth, sorry dsc.

:hug:

:thumbsup:

I also saw that post and it broke my heart. Thanks for speaking up (again).

instead of even Political Videos. I feel like a coward now, after reading your post -- but I knew a video of Hillary impersonating Jack Nicholson endorsing her on L.A. radio, which I thought was kind of cute, would probably be responded to mostly with the throw-up emoticon.

I know the abuse here is two-way, but the Hillary supporters, at the least, are outnumbered, and IMO suffer from that.

Thanks for your post, cali.
