You're saying we should continue to post derogatory things about Hillary instead of trying to heal the wounds of the primary and achieve party unity?

If so, you're a bleeding idiot.

Rabbit,

I have witnessed and been most impressed by your past attempts to logically engage some of the more frustrating bloggers whom you describe. Frankly, I suspect your patience has, on many instances, far outstripped the limits of mine.

With respect, I disagree with this post. I suggest that if your patience has finally and understandably reached its limit, you step aside temporarily and let us second-stringers come off the bench for awhile and give you a breather. We can take turns picking through the garbage. :)

Though I too have shared your conclusion that ours may be an unwinnable struggle, I will not yield. As you so accurately point out, succumbing to their infantilism serves no purpose but their own. So take your own advice, ignore them fully and let your Zen regrow. I expect to see the return of an even stronger Rabbit than the one I have come to know. In the meantime, I for one must keep the kid gloves on - even hoping beyond hope.

Yes We Can.

Ah! Thanks for the explanation...

The thing that serves no purpose but their own is treating them with kid gloves and agreeing with them that they've been so terribly mistreated by Obama supporters who responded in kind to their inflammatory comments in other threads.

Agreed.

When I state that I intend to keep the gloves on, I am only willing to go so far as to avoid active attacks. Specifically, I do not advocate absolution of their attacks via mis-guided attempts to categorize inflammatory retaliation as unjustified. Doing so would not only serve little purpose, but would in fact likely be detrimental.

At any rate, I still plan (at least till burnout catches me) to continue my attempts at direct engagement.

So funny Rabit. After trying to say they have been doing this for not just today, but several weeks if not months, and even getting into shouting matches with them while knowing they were doing this, its kinda surreal to have you start a topic off that. The gemini in me gets caught up in the Fuck you piss off....and then Im sorry I shouldnt have said that with them. Its hard because I try to be good...

I've begun to suspect more and more strongly that a lot of the anonymous "Clinton supporters" are really just McCainites racking up their blogging points. I have a hard time taking anyone's true position for granted anymore, given the benefits accrued to those who keep stirring the pot.

Since the Republicans are clearly hoping to siphon off some "angry Hillary" votes, and since the "angry Hillary voters" strategy was all the Clinton campaign had left in its final days, I think the "Operation Chaos" mentality has come to cross-pollinate anti-Obama sentiment in both camps.

But I honestly believe that the most vitriolic "Hillary" supporters are mischievous Republican trolls - and while it's always nice to be nice when we can, it's often better to just ignore them.

a leader we can believe in

Well stated, Rabbit. Rec'ed!

I heard something interesting on the news last night, though it was unscientific:

The Hillary supporters are angry at Obama supporters, the media, Bill Clinton... but not Obama himself.

The Obama supporters are angry at... Hillary Clinton.

Rabbit, I agree with you. I don't accommodate the sour loser Hillary supporters any more than I would a bad child falling out in public. No begging will take place here. Don't let the door hit you where...
