you get upset about some critical comments about obama when this blog is replete with one slander after another about how corrupt, vile, amoral, you name it they have been called it, and you go bonkers over a few critical comments?

you are way too sensitive. those who live in glass houses shouldnt

Yes, most Hillary supporters are reasonable people and will support the eventual nominee. Most people participating here in good faith are reasonable. And most readers here are for Obama, as makes sense for his demographics, which is especially favorable among high information voters.

You should realize, as should everyone, online there are a lot of kids, trolls, and the mentally ill. Especially there are a lot of Republican trolls with seething inferiority complexes and a desire to irritate others.

Limbaugh told the Limbots to impersonate Hillary supporters. For years the wingnut sites such as Free Republic, Little Green Footbals, etc have actually encouraged members to troll other sites and pretend to be Hillary supporters. Read the comments on these sites and it's clear their typical reader makes Ann Coulter appear only half as psychotic by comparison.

You have to understand the fans of Limbaugh and these winger sites are the dregs of humanity and it's their attempt at revenge for being stuck in the ass-crack of America. It's Archie Bunker on the internet, only less classy, less worldly, and less educated.

Don't mistake them for real Hillary supporters, or even real Republicans for that matter.

This post was like a roll call for some of our worst trolls. I agree that these are not actually Hillary supporters. They just come here to grab some negative attention. The solution: ignore.

While I respectfully disagree, I'm glad you're willing to address the issue with civility, a civility I do occasionally lack. What's up with your Barack Lincoln, by the way?

And in our defense, by the way, had Hillary come out on top, it's the Hillary supporters that'd be calling for party unity with loud voices. Many of them are, even as it is. And what action did Obama take that lost your trust in him? I'm a skeptical man, an open-minded man, and a rational man. He's not my messiah. I don't pray to him at night. I just think he's the best guy applying for the job at the moment.

As one who has appealed for party unity, I've never screamed about Shrillary, sought your affection, or tried to shame you.

I have only ONE beef with you. You pretend to want a Democrat named Hillary in the White House. But you would support a Republican if you can't have your way. You're a f*cking baby or a GOP troll. Same thing.

This country will be fine with President McCain.

Gee, what a Republican thing for a Democrat to say. A little confused are we?

I, Hillary Clinton, have been lost to the Democratic party forever.*

Leading the Stovepipe Hat vote!
Leading for the vote of Senator John McCain!
Leading you all!

Much Love,
Hillary.

* Claims or supposed positions leaving the Democratic party are subject to Super Delegate voting. If I'm the nominee, I'll come back. I promise. But otherwise, I'm out! So you'd better nominate me. Or else. But I'll come back if you do. But if you don't... whoa-hoa... look out! Republicans, here I come! So clearly I'm the stronger candidate for John McCain's vote. Me! Me! ME!

Why, specifically, did he lose your trust?

ANYONE WHO THINKS OR SAYS

"This country will be fine with President McCain."

IMHO

is a traitor to our great nation. The party that illegally seized power and stole the 2004 election with clear vote manipulation are arch criminals. They have committed war crimes. They must be held to account.

Anyone espousing anything short of full support for the eventual Democratic nominee is a troll, a fool or seriously misguided. We have but this one chance to

Take Our Country Back.

Dude there was loaves of bread and fish in baskets in Oregan last weekend . . .

OK with McCain and a Democratic Senate? NOT!!

Two words: Supreme Court. One of the good guys (Stevens) is really old, and who's to say that one or more out of Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer might be ready to, or need to, retire? With Kennedy and Scalis the next most likely to leave, based on time, we need Democratic appointees for a change. The Senate at best can block a truly "out there" appointee, but they can't make McCain appoint a progressive, and I think the days of a progressive "sneaking through", like Souter, are long gone.

I pointed out the irony of my violent notions followed by a call to peace. Now I'm pointing out the irony of whining... about whining. I don't consider anything I say to be whining, but what whiner does, I suppose?

Certainly if you were to constantly bring up your thoughts on the balance of media coverage, and how it is seemingly biased toward your opponent, you wouldn't consider that whining. Who else might, though?

Quit whining. If you won you should be happy. I've never seen such a bunch of whiners as Obamaistas.

Clinton won't admit this basic truth.

Whining has nothing to do with it.

Louisville, your post sounds remarkably like a whine here...

HERE'S A 4 LETTER WORD: SOCIALISM!

Fuckin' a.

Priceless, Pirate Peet. Muchos love.

My leader's orders? Jonestown? Oh my...

It ain't Hillary supporters I'm complaining about. It's you.

I know it, girl. I'm not worried about November in the least, with or without the trolls. I just, rather awkwardly, need to see an end to the negativity. The more we engage them, I think, the less they'll be able to continue their line of attack.

As I say, I was at the Colorado Democratic Convention (ironically, my hotel was kitty-corner from Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs... another post, another time). The energy was palpable. Everyone was getting along. It was a fairly accurate picture, I think, of the Democratic Party as a whole right now. The worst thing I was the Obama supporters chanting Obama's name after McAuliffe cited the popular vote count that favors Clinton (with a fair smattering of boos). Ah well.

So it's a tiny minority I'm cursing under my breath right now. A minority, I'll freely admit, I'm more than happy to marginalize at the moment, though not without whining about them a little first.

honey? Oh lord.

Exactly. Josh's title "Toxic", currently on the front page, is correct. Clinton has thrown the seeds of illegitimacy on this election and is fertilizing the seedlings with accusations of misogyny and disenfranchisement. Political cynicism at it's finest. She is showing every day that she would be happy if Obama gets the nomination and then loses as she cynically leads the older white folks away.

I have lost all patience with Clinton and these faux supporters and curse silently while watching this unfold.

See, here's the thing. This is what really bothers me. These people are not posting because they support Clinton or believe in the Democratic cause, that much is clear. This means they'll keep resurfacing, over and over again, into the general and beyond. I don't know what their motivation is, perhaps someday it'll be clear, but I figured it was about time to confront it head-on.

I have nothing really against Clinton. I think in many ways she'd be a wonderful president. But there's this other person running, ya know, that I like more. Anyway, John McCain's goin' down. We all know that.

They did it to me, too. It made me chuckle.
