IM a poor white woman. GOBAMA

the clinton camp can take their bigotry and stuff it. they are a disgusting group of people.

There are many more of us than she'd like to admit.

I don't want Jim Crow back.

This OP is no better than what it professes to abhor...

Flamebait... IBTL!

There's a difference, Juniper, between hating people based on their race, and hating people for being bigots.

In fact, they make the second wrong pretty disgusting, imho.

Hate is hate. It should never be condoned. ESPECIALLY when you are using a broad brush to hate an entire population here on DU... bad news.

go sell some of your crazy upside down logic to Mark Penn. I hear they can always use more.

"the clinton camp can take their bigotry and stuff it. they are a disgusting group of people."

This is a disgusting display of hate in broad brush fashion. Not all Hillary supporters are bigots any more than all Obama supporters are arrogant assholes.

that thinking there would have been no racial progress in this country. Sometimes there are not two sides to the argument. Hating hatred is not bad.

And it is completely different from hating people, or broad brush bashing an entire group of people. Saying that all Clinton supporters are worthy of hate, or that they are disgusting is just plain wrong.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

Of course you've been choosen BY ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE to speak for them I'm sure.

Why is it flamebait to prove her wrong in this forum?

It's time to rise above, or we are no better than that which we profess to abhor.

Hating back is tragic. And hating ALL of Clinton's supporters because of a few is idiotic at best.

And I don't see it as that as much as distaste in someone's actions. We used to be able to criticize a politicians views and actions on this board without reasonable fear of our thoughts being censored. Ah well, as goes the country, so goes DU I suppose.

I still just know if Dennis had been given some media time we wouldn't be in this mess.

That is my gripe... the OP called ALL Clinton supporters hateful things.

I feel the same way about Edwards... the RW media chose our current candidates, no question. I have it on good authority that there is a horrific O-bomb-a coming as an October Surprise... I hope my source is wrong, but he hasn't been yet. I think we've been led down the garden path, with this outcome held for October, to boost votes for McCain... same old shit, different election.

I hope I'm wrong. With all my heart.

Mark my words anyway...

And should be embraced.

"And hating ALL of Clinton's supporters because of a few is idiotic at best."

The racism is coming out of Clinton from herself, from the top of her campaign. And it's reflected in her base, over at places like "Hillaryis44."

If Clinton weren't going to drop or get forced out soon, I supposed the SPLC would have to get involved.

There are plenty of natural human emotions that should not be voiced in public. The ability to hold back hatred comes with maturity... my oldest child learned that at age five. Anyone who posts on DU should be beyond that stage.

Embracing hate is never a good idea.

Bash Clinton all you like, but broad brush hating of her supporters here is horribly wrong. As I said, not all Obama supporters are arrogant assholes, but boy howdy, there are some!

I'd have no objection if the OP changed their tune and directed this hate toward Clinton.

:shrug:

I know and love a few, so I don't think they are all bad... some are horribly stupid... some are just followers who can't think for themselves... some think sticking with him is walking lockstep with the party and that should be done at all cost... some are poor misguided immigrants with W stickers on their poor old decrepit work trucks... the only thing ALL about them is they are human, and they support one of the biggest mistakes in American history.

I do.

Just saying.

win. Does that make me idiotic? No. Hate is not evil. I hate poverty. I hate injustice. Your view is tragic. With your view, we would still have slavery and all the rest of the hate-ables.

There is a huge difference between hating things and hating people. I think yours is the tragic view. How would you like a broad brush hatred post about all Obama supporters?

Just proves we were right about Clinton's race-baiting all this time.

And I, too, am sickened at Clinton bigotry

time I have to write that. I have an exercise for y'all. Turn the volume up on your tv or computer and listen to a speech by Hillary, and then one by Barack (you should find plenty on youtube to choose from). Imagine that the speaker is black or white or purple or whatever color you like best, but focus on the words. Listen to the message. I bet you'll find things you agree or disagree with no matter who you're listening to. I really wish we could get past the racial stereotypes. The important thing is that neither of them is Bush or Cheney.

As for the Clintons and their race-baiting, it didn't work. She's not going to be the nominee. And hopefully they have both learned a lesson in the process.

Onward!

Yes, they can. Yes, they are.

But I'm one of those filthy, dirty eggheads.

So I don't count either.

nursing degree and everything. I'm so smart and snooty and elitist, I can't stand myself.

You're more likely to see Obama bring about universal health care or daycare before you'll hear Hillary say anything racist.

Would you have preferred that she say 'typical white folks?'

consider his little white Grandma a racist for admitting being a little afraid of black men--he was saying her reaction was normal for her generation, and didn't hold it against her. He wasn't CAMPAIGNING on racial divisions, for fuck's sake.

So I guess he'd refer to the other half of the family as 'typical' black folks? Clearly, typical was not the best word to use. But we're not constantly parsing Obama's words her, are we? Just Hillary's.

Shouldn't you be out collecting donations for the hillary campaign or something.

for those of us that did, we hear it loud and clear.

...as you adjust your monocle and take long draughts from your brandy snifter. Why don't you put on your diamond-encrusted tiara and drive your solid gold limousine to your monogrammed swimming pool while us middle-school educated tramps and hobos (all white, of course!) figure out what's best for the country, 'k?

:sarcasm:

Gobama! :hi:

It's painful to watch, but I trust it will be over soon.

Not a snark- please read this article.

I was hoping for this thread today!

middle aged middle class white ex-military wife soccer Mommy from republican district for OBAMA!!!!!!

Oh, I forgot...I didn't graduate college!!!!!!!!!

and prior to having babies i was a blue color white person

i say fuck em too

was telling my master degree, republican husband who is voting for obama that here in texas panhandle i went to the convention and all obama people on one side, all clinton people on the other. in this area.... clinton support was all white, all educated and upperclass, well put together. on the obama side, black, blue collar, white people comfortable messy and not put together. not coiffed.....

I'm in Brazoria south of Houston. At caucus we had 1/4 of the gym with primarily white people for Hillary; and 3/4 with blacks, whites, asians etc.. for Barack - both well-dressed and the comfortably messy kinds (I'm in northern brazoria obviously). The thing that struck me (and it hit me when I attended precinct training in downtown Houston) was that there was so much diversity. In that first diversity training I sat with a young black woman on one side, and older (50ish) Indian gentleman on the other side. I am 40's white latte liberal, to use Hillary's sterotypical term. Barack can really appeal across the board, and I'm not sure that Hillary can. And that is why he is our nominee! :)

the diversity. each time an election comes and i get to be around other dems i am so thrilled with the diversity..... i jsut look around thrilled with the messiness of my fellow dems. i am mostly around the put together junior league women. lol. (i am a calif stuck here) my hubby the repug was the most put together person there. lol

i have for a long time seen that the republican males in my community could vote for obama, and could not vote for hillary. obama will easily get hte older male, sucess white always voted repug in this area that is disgusted and embarrassed by bush and really does not like mccain.

none of the manly man, testostrone driven, hummer driving repug is going ot vote either for a woman or a black.... but then they would never vote a demcrat anyway cause that might challenge their manliness and make them a girlie man. lol


ya ya ya full of sterotypes. but they can be a giggle

Every day is dress-up day in TX. LOL. I could care less... I'm home with a messy toddler all day and I hang out in my exercise clothes. I can't imagine what the June Cleavers' dry-cleaning bills must be - ha!

And I'm getting poorer every day!

:silly:

And this "financially challenged" middle aged single mom stands happily right along side you!

OBAMA is our next president.

peace~

From another poor white woman!
