ACTION ALERT: Defend Ricki Lieberman

Today, Huffington Post‘s Seth Walls has made a “direct hit” on Ricki Lieberman, who you all met here yesterday in her first post, “Electability.”

JustSayNoDeal.com is asking all of us to go to the article and write positive comments about Ricki.

Here are two more musts you’ll want to know about Ricki, besides her article, “Electability,” posted here yesteday:

  • imustprotest

    I went to pumapac last night and Murphy had positive things to say about Riki. Obama surrogates even pressured Hillary to distance herself from Ricki. That concerns me especially after the death threats that Murphy and others have received.

  • http://IthinkIfeel... Tricia Spiegel

    I receive Rickie’s emails and was shocked last night to learn what happened to her. What vile people are out there attemtping to stifle free speech. Who else but Obamathugs would do this to her? (I like to hope that his campaign would not approve, but I truly am not sure about that.)

    Rickie is doing good work that is in the bounds of propriety and the American spirit. Those who are attacking her remind me of what went on in other countries at other times.

    Bill Clinton’s Next Fight: Malaria

    NEW YORK — Former President Clinton’s foundation has signed pricing agreements with several suppliers involved in making a malaria-fighting drug in an effort to stabilize the medication’s fluctuating costs and ensure more dependable availability.

    The foundation described the agreements to The Associated Press ahead of an announcement Clinton was to make Thursday at the organization’s Manhattan headquarters.

    The former president in 2002 established an HIV/AIDS initiative that sought to negotiate lower prices for antiretroviral treatments, and he since has expanded his focus to include malaria treatments such as artemisinin-based combination therapies, or ACTs.

    If you reply to one of the first 5 or so posts, your comment will be right after the article instead of on page 16 of the comments.
    Alot of posters are making fun of Ronnie’s last name. Tell them to cut it out. I told them that it can be construed as anti-semitic.

  • wodiej

    these attacks on Ricki Lieberman are very similar to the Bots coming to blogs and trying to strong arm, threaten to get votes for Obama or just shut us up with their childish, nonsensical rantings. Death threats? Sounds like a cult to me.

    Apparently, her piece to supporters evoked a response from Hillary that she has nothing to do with this past Hillraiser’s efforts now.

    I personally feel oblique references made that compared Obama’s giant stadium address and his rally in German to Nazis is the reason.

    This is a grassroots group, so people are writing very loosely, and what may not offend some will bother others.

    I can fully understand Hillary’s remark that she has nothing to do with this effort.

  • http://deleted AnninCa

    One thing to understand about Huffington Post is that the moderation is very heavy-handed. There are very few threads where PUMA remarks are allowed in. You can try to defend, but I’ve observed that on hit pieces, very few remarks will make it through.

    The Huffington Post is not at all reliable in terms of seeing true reader reaction. The moderation guidelines have NOTHING to do with the stated guidelines.

    So it can be a futile waste of effort to rebut.

  • RepublicanChick

    Free speech for thee, but not for me. Pretty much sums up the antagonistic behavior of some Obama supporters.

    I will not support anything with Arianna Huffington’s name attached to it.

    We have the right to state our opinion in this world without harassment or threat of someone doing harm to our families.

    I do not agree with Ricki’s assessment that a Democrat (like Obama) should be in the White House.

    However, she has the right to say whatever she wants. The mere fact Arianna’s minions don’t like her is good enough for me.

    God bless you, Ricki!

    I tried to post a comment for Rikki we will see if it gets approved…it is ironic they attack the few who are trying to simply get Hilary o the ballot and have a place a the convention. People here were so upset with Rikki for saying she would support the ultimate nominee and here is HuffPo attacking her anyway.

    so much for unity.

    PS WE have discussed ad nauseum the DNC ROOL that says the CHAIR ie Howard decides IF the nominee ie Hil has helped the party achieve its goals yada yada, Hillary CANNOT be in any way connected with any of our actions and that is as it should be.

  • SoldierofChrist

    I emailed the the individual a few minutes ago. Here is my scolding:

    First, I am half colored, and I hold no racist bone in my body and as an Hillary supporter, I find that my decision is formed on who I feel is mature to handle our nation. And, since our nation is in peril, my opinion is that Mccain will be my next choice. As a religious person, I could not believe in the threaten pen writing that was placed on the grassroots email address.

    Reading these comments from these people has shown me that it is possible for a heart to be so hardened by the constant tread of evil brainwashing that the seed of wisdom cannot find no entrance into their hollow mind. Even the basic understanding of a Muslim religious system that Mr. Obama practices in his past, annoys them to erupt such as this way. You cannot change the fact that his Father was a practicing Muslim and that his mother was an atheist, and you cannot change that fact that his black liberation studies and his Muslim upbring values were formed into believing that it is Judeo-Christianity that he was taught. These words are taken from his own books, and we can take no credit for our spiritual sight in understanding his life. It is true, we sinful mortals will never attain to the perfection of G-D, but, Mr. Obama is not perfect, and his iniquities are piling up everyday for all to see. These people that are angry, are angry at themselves for making a wrong decision and expect others to follow the path of error.

    They refer the grassroots and others as betrayer , and expect that since Hillary was not selected, as their nominee was, that we should get in line and follow second choice. It is unfortunate that they have no interest in the good of our country , but, they will erupt in hate and violence from their tongue toward others. Remember, as we have always said “the tongue is a small thing, but, what enormous damage it can do! James 3:5. I will pray that G-D forgives these sinful mortals and their careless speech which is adding and contributed to the spreading of holocaust among the American people more and more everyday. There is one good thing that we can say about Clinton4Mccain, Hill buzz, Justsaynodeal, Hillarygreenmountain.org, Puma, Together4us.com, and many more grassroots, in forms of trial and tribulations and temptations- their tender blade of faith never’s wilt and shrivel, but, keeps our country in tact as a hold. Somebody has to keep us from this insanity and this “yes we can” fiasco.

  • scorbs

    I read some of the posts. I think it’s Obama who should be distancing himself from his supporters and their death threats and angry assaults on anyone who doesn’t “fall into line” and support their candidate.

    Oh, maybe I’ll go post that over at that article. It really is over the top, to demand that Clinton supporters fall into line or else. It’s not just fascism, but reminds me of George Bush and his supporters over the last four years, “If you don’t agree with me, you’re unpatriotic.”

    We listened to that while Democrats just shrank and pawed air. Now Obama people are picking up, where it was left off.

    If you read the speech given at the NETROOTS group, you’ll find the tone and attitude laid out.

    I think it’s far less effective as KOS thinks. Just my opinion….

    It’s about like flooding SDs with e-mails.

    Some of that tactic is OK. Too much begins to just annoy people.

    Moveon’s latest ad is another war deal, which is more annoying than anything else.

    But….hey….this is a democracy. We each get to find our own way of expressing our opinions.

    Yes, it’s the Democratic Party that I’m personally very disturbed at, not necessarily Obama. I have other reasons for not voting for him.

    But mostly, I am highly disturbed by the back-room antics of Democrats in this election.

    “There will be blood in the streets!” Clyburn threatened America.

    That rings in my ears even today. I can sometimes get pissed at stuff, but I have a short memory and a lot of tolerance. This year, there were a lot of such moments as Clyburn’s which so shocked and angered me that I left the Democratic Party after 35 years. Straight-ticket Dem here.

    Yes, you have lost a good Dem voter, along with a great many other Dems.

    But you replaced us. No biggee. That’s why Obama is holding place, at least.

    Best to work on getting that urban vote out and you’ll need the youth to remember to show up.

    You will not get back this bloc. Of that, I’m sure.

  • james andrews

    You people cannot be real Democrats. We have to rally around our nominee. Obama won the nomination and you need to get be hind him or at least keep quiet. This is a new Decomratic Party. It’s time to heal the wounds and get over it. We need everyone to win and there is no way Hillary could ever get everyone. To take this away from Obama now would make us all look bad. So lick you wounds and get with it.

  • baracknophobia

    fair enough.

    but when your movement’s name is Party Unity My Ass, don’t feign outrage when the party isn’t thrilled about you.

  • Eric

    Wow. Freud would have a field day here.

  • steven Mather

    This site exists partially because non-Obama supporters were driven off of Democratic blogs for critiquing Obama. The totalitarianism we experienced has made us a bit cranky with the evangelizing, ideologues that come here to convert the great unwashed.

    Who knows who is who in a comments section. Internet operatives undermine their opposition’s candidates by faking an allegiance and then behaving in a racist, sexist, gay neg, or rude manner It is likely that the chestnuts you speak of are black ops postings. Free (minimaly regulated) sites suffer such things.

  • SoldierofChrist

    James, I really don’t understand why we are obligated to vote for Mr. Obama because we are Democrats? Not revealing my age, I remember that I disliked Carter and I was for Reagan, that I like Bill and disliked Bush. So if that crack head major from DC is our democrat nominee, will you vote for him because you are a Democrat? Yes or no- ??

  • politicsIsdirty

    James, I know you are a real patriot.

    Did you rally around George Bush when you felt that Gore or Kerry was cheated?

    Or were you just a stupid Democrat like most of the Democrats are?

  • Cat in NJ

    Bill Clinton is a bright spark in the Democratic Party’s descent into the Dark Ages!

    It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if all these threats and slurs against Ms. Lieberman and outspoken PUMA reps is in complete compliance with Comrade O’s camp.

  • steven Mather

    Your words betray that you think being a Democrat is more important than being a responsible citizen in a democracy.

    I have no trouble imagining someone like you saying “We are all British citizens and it does not matter what the King does. Even if it wounds us to obey him, we must lick our wounds and obey his will.”

    ELECTABILITY!

    Thanks to Susan and to all of you for your interest in the ELECTABILITY WATCH and our work promoting Senator Clinton as the electable candidate who can bring Democrats back to the White House. Selecting the electable candidate is the only job of the Super Delegates in Denver, and we are communicating that to them each week with a thoughtful person-to-person update. This takes about 15 minutes a week.

    Please join us at rrlieberma@gmail.com.

    BTW – I was quite startled by the intensity and ferocity of the phone and email response to the Huff article as well as the release of my address and phone number. This is not the democracy I believe in. The stream of bile, anti-semitism, crude and vulgar language, and the personal attacks were unsettling. However, those of us who believe that Hillary is the best qualified to be President have been validated by her 18 million+ primary votes, her lead in the polls against McCain, and her strong showing in the blue and swing states Democrats need for the Electoral College.

    Her strength on and commitment to issues and core values of the Democratic Party is also compelling.

    If we want a Democrat back in the White House, Hillary is the electable one. SDs, please pay attention!!!

  • barbara

    Read below, the Democrats are fighting against drilling for oil on AMERICAN SOIL

    They are trying to convince the American people that drilling off shore will not help, they are being controlled by the ‘GREEN PEOPLE ENVIROMENTALIST’ ….Pass this around in an email to show AMERICANS who is standing in the way of becoming independent on foreign oil .Do Not sit back and allow the DEMOCRATS to get away with this. They are lying to you by blaming the cost of oil on anything and everything they can . Why shouldnt we become independent from foreign oil ? This is AMERICA …..Fight the DEMOCRATS and insist DRILL NOW . Let’s throw them out of Congress and make our Nation Prosper .

    Pelosi stands firm against offshore drilling

    WASHINGTON: Upon entering Congress in 1987, Representative Nancy Pelosi quickly became part of the solid California front against oil drilling along much of the nation’s coast.

    The 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill and the steady push to tap the potential reserves off the state’s rugged coast had galvanized Californians and made opposition to offshore drilling part of the political DNA of up-and-coming figures like Pelosi.

    She repeatedly resisted oil drilling in marine sanctuaries off the state’s coast near her San Francisco district and, after joining the Appropriations Committee, was an advocate of reinstating the coastal drilling ban through spending restrictions each year.

    “We learned the hard way that oil and water do not mix on our coast,” Pelosi told a key committee in 1996 as she made her case for keeping the ban in place before a Congress then controlled by Republicans.

    Now, with gas prices soaring, those drilling restrictions are facing their most severe test in years as calls intensify to more aggressively pursue domestic oil. Yet despite increasing pressure from President George W. Bush, a full-bore assault by congressional Republicans and some anxiety among her own rank-and-file Democrats, Pelosi is not budging.

    It is vitally important for people to hound Pelosi and Congress to death about drilling NOW. Nancy and her puppets are drawing up articles of impeachment again to stall this .She will bring up bills of any sort just to stall the drill for oil now vote. Its election time,she knows damn well the AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT OFF SHORE DRILLING and the left are under the control of the envioromentalist and NOT FOR THE PEOPLE . She does not want this to come to a vote because THE PEOPLE will see it IS the democrats who are making it impossible and make them accountable. It MUST be brought to the floor of the HOUSE NOW and on to the Senate for a vote. This cannot wait. I highly doubt an Obama win but WHAT IF PEOPLE ? This bill will never be, it will be trashed forever. WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN.
    CONTACT YOUR SENATORS and PELOSI’S OFFICE by PHONE,EMAIL AND SNAIL MAIL ASAP.

    202-225-0100 Call Nancy Pelosi and demand she take up off shore drilling.

    She is stalling and bouncing on every other issue to stall a vote for off shore drilling.

    Apparently those who don’t like her are…wait for it…. racist.

    it has nothing to do with all of her negative comments, her slam on Hillary and her inability to *keep house*, her reluctance to support/vote for Hillary, her talking about expensive pony lessons and ballet lessons, saying people can take their $600 and buy earrings, her not being proud of her country, her threatening to scratch out Bill’s eyeballs, her associations with Wright, and Ayers and Dhorn, her constant complaining about student loans and America for an excellent education she received through affirmative action and nepotism, and on and on and on….

    nope, it is because of racism.

    I respect the right of non-PUMAs to be angry with us. We operate on different parameters and, with so much at stake and a tight time frame, people are too pressured to make an effort at understanding.

    The product cannot be separated from the process and people disenfranchised by the process are wise to be reticent about embracing the product because to do so is to endorse the disenfranchising process.

    I do not think peace will be possible until some time after the election, if ever. Hopefully, something better will emerge from the ashes of this campaign.

    Advocating drilling for oil off the coasts is so stupid on so many levels. May I suggest this created controversy is designed to take our attention away from the bush and his oil criminals. Our concentration is required to get us away from oil, nuclear and other non-renewable resources. The drilling offshore issue is a diversion away from that. So Barbara, you and your big oil buddies can go piss up a rope. Get lost.

    Good post. We can disagree in good faith without being accused of kool-aid drinking.

  • steven Mather

    This drilling is not necessary. New technology makes the Bakken play viable. Production from Alberta’s oil sands is increasing as projects come on line. When the McKenzie Valley pipeline negotiations are complete, yet another large, secure, untapped play will be ready for the taking.

    The oil companies created the Iraq mess, with the help of a gullible public. Because there are few places in the world that are no longer dominated by national oil companies, they are trying to get you to free up these plays, so they are manipulating you into taking the unnecessary environmental risks that these fields entail.

  • Ever Vigilant

    While I do understand the frustration with the Democratic party and the overall nomination process (much the same as my aversion to the whole Electoral College Process), but I am still concerned with the ‘cut off my nose to spite my face mentality.’

    Over the last few days Sen McCain has been tieed to off color jokes about rape and reiterated his prolife stance; not to even mention his complete loss concerning viagra vs birth control being covered by the insurance industry. He has stated his support for providing educational opportunities for more people, even though he has voted against Pell Grants and the Headstart program on numerous occasions. He has stated that we need to keep as many troops in Iraq as we currently have, but yet need to deploy three brigades to Afghanistan (three brigades that our military leaders say we do not have).

    Lastly, please name policy area where Sen McCain and Sen Clinton are even close to being in agreement. Equal Pay, Choice, Health Care, War in Iraq, Free Trade, Economic Stimulus, Off Shore Drilling? What James was saying earlier is not that as Democrats you must fall in line with the person, but that as Democrats we hold certain principles and ideas dear and that is what we support. We support those candidates that we best believe will help up achieve those ideas and principles. If you believe in Sen Clinton’s principles and programs, then Sen Obama is the obvious choice. If you believe Sen McCain is that person then by all means please vote for him, just as I would (which I do not).

    I’m no longer a loyal Democrat. The antics of Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, Obama, Brazile……ended my loyalty.

    When you attacked the Clintons as racists?

    You drove me off.

    You won the battle. You lost the war.

    Live with it.

    There are some things I cannot do… one is vote for Obama and another is join the HP.

    I can’t comment on that article and I don’t want to sound like I don’t care that she’s getting bad press, but I don’t support together4us because they always talk about getting Hillary on as VP. I don’t agree.

    So, hang in there Ricki L. You have a right to your opinion.

  • http://deleted AnninCa

    Ditto for me. I like PUMA because it allows for a broad swath of different opinions.

    I’m opposed to Hillary as VP. I’m opposed to turning over the nomination at this stage.

    I’m very much in favor of defeating Obama.

    uppity — that is bizarre. As you know, I also have an nobama blog- SPIRITED POLITICS – and I got an email from them last week inviting me to send in posts?!

    There’s more behind these invites, I’m sure. I’ve never been able to get myself to log in with them – so how do they even have my email address- or yours?

    Do you think it is possible they are starting to see the light and actually want nobama bloggers to post??? Otherwise, why else are we both getting invites?!

    I was banned at DU for saying that for the first time I was taking a serious look at McCain. Not warned about the rules. Not argued with…I wrote three emails to the board admins asking for an explanation. I never heard back.

    Our big tent party can not hold me…??? It is a sorry day for the democratic party. My family has been solid Dem since my grandfather voted for Roosevelt in 1932.

    from the new republic article linked above by rjj:

    “The Bush presidency is like being married to a sociopath. A McCain presidency would be more like being married to a drug addict–however badly he behaves, he could always sober up.”

    We all here know that bozo brings the term Sociopath to a whole new depth of meaning. So here we are – go for much lesser of evils and look for his bright side – and hope, With bozo alternative our only ‘hope’ is that the country and world survive at all and still have the energy left after him to regroup.

    Sad sad sad state of affairs- when we all know there is a Great Lady waiting in the wings who would be and do all we need to turn things around.

    Crazy world

    Although most of us do not consider this race to be an issue of religion, I am glad to hear from a person of faith who recognizes that obama’s version of ‘christianity’ is not Christian based – in any factual or theological sense.

    Soldier4Christ please share your clarity with your friends in faith. obama has none- not in democracy either- only in his own small ego. Help others to see through him. thanks.

    Ann, why are you opposed to “turning over the nomination”? He didn’t win the nomination. Neither had the amount of delegates necessary to win. The nomination is supposed to be at the convention. Otherwise, why bother with a convention at all?

  • Mike

    Say Jimbo, Mike here…

    I drive a truck and my wife and I are raising three beautiful daughters, have a mortgage of some 20 years and are minding our business, great citizens of society and are active in our daughter’s education with one in college.

    Are you saying that while we ramp up other fuel prerogatives that drilling oil now is a bad idea?

    OK, so what do you say when 150 of my fellow truckers and I who deliver 1000′s of loads per week of dairy products’ to grocery DC units across the nation decide that it costs more to run than it does to park and we’re getting very close to this.

    I need to save 8-10% on my fuel costs for this job to continue to make sense. I got a 2% reprieve temporarily when our late is better than late president’s speech regarding drilling and it brought fuel costs down $9.09 per barrel which equates to 2% net gain to me. Are you saying I can’t make a living delivering these goods to the American people because some don’t want to use this strategy to reduce fuel prices and drill for even greater price reduction effect while we as a people work feverishly for new energy options?

    Please don’t try and explain my position on this as I experience and feel the net/net result of the current situation every day. This is not getting to and from school my friend this is how I put food on my table and educate my children in a secure and pleasant home environment.

    The mere fact that we will be drilling for oil will reduce prices $20-30 per barrel and this I can work with knowing when the actual oil comes on line my fuel costs will reduce and will give me enough time to environ retro-fit my rig.

    I’m sure you understand my position, no?

    Mike

  • CognitiveDissonance

    Think about it. Obama has never done a single thing to improve the life of anyone but himself. Nothing. Nada. Zip. He isn’t just an empty suit. He has an empty soul.

  • Tuppence 411

    You go Uppity! Its true what has Barky or MEchelle Nobama done for Africa OR even the African American Community in IL? MEchelle’s employer uses predatory debt collection techinques against poor, sick black people who can’t pay their hospital bills. Barky gave millions away in housing grants to slum lords who pocketed the cash and didn’t lift one finger to improve the housing stock. They gave that piddly amount to Trinity Church, that supposed to be committed to Africa. Yeah right. What it did was help buy Rev. Wright a luxury sedan and a mansion in a gated white community. And they had the AUDACITY to call the Clintons racists? The nerve! The Obama’s are carictures of black politicians. Rising on the backs of those they call “victims”. And KEEP in victimhood by their own actions!

  • Tuppence 411

    James Andrew- WTF! How old are you? You come on here and lecture us about “real Democrats”?
    Let me tell you something- what happened this year is NOT real and NOT democractic. My party has been taken over by a bunch of radical thugs. And there is no way I am letting it go down without a fight. You can count on it!

  • Ted

    Beautiful, well-written comment. You should be a blogger here at NQ.

  • Monet

    Maybe I missed it, but does Walls ever state in the article how Senator Clinton is distancing herself from Ricki Lieberman? A spokesperson stating that Senator Clinton supports Senator Obama and is urging her supporters to too, doesn’t sound like distancing to me – just the party line we’ve heard for over a month now.

  • American Woman

    What did Obama do at the TUCC church to impove Civil Rights or to shape young people’s lives…Nothing except sit there while racism and anti american hate was preached..What did he do when he was the first Black President of the Harvard Law Review? ….nothing…didn’t edit not one case…He is a do nothing Politician unless you count all the money he has gotten for his do nothing friends that have left the poor in Chicago high and dry living in third world conditions. Nobama, SuperD’s wake up it isn’t too late.

    She said tonite on CNN Situation Room, She will not change her position on off shore drilling.

    She really is a witch.Her eyes seems to buldge out, when she’s trying to get a point across.

    Go Clinton to the Convention.

    Oh and forgot to report, it was said on Fox tonite,that Michelle Obama is coming off the campaign trail, and won’t be following her husband to Iraq/ But she will have a speech at the convention Floor.. I can’t believe they’d allow her to speak,when she is a complete NoBody.Hope its her fairwell speech,and with Obama’s.Clinton better get this roll call,everyone is talking about for the nomination.

  • pew

    Excuse me. Yes I’m serious. I don’t ask stupid questions. I only have one computer. And I’m not for Mccain, I’m hear trying to help out the Puma people because I believe in them/ I live in Canada,and the only thing I can do, is pass the new sites onto my American Friends,and some family members.
    So try to be a little more pleasant. I don’t need to be here. But I hate Obama, and want Clinton as President.You’ve gotta be related to Obama, because you are the first rude person,I have ever come across. It’s just too bad they don’t have ignore buttons.

    Go Clinton

  • Bowie

    Good morning!

    Any group like this, which willingly jumps into bed with any and all anti-Obama group, is asking for trouble. The true mark of an intellectual slut.

    Here’s an idea: How about you all try to run an AFFIRMATIVE campaign, instead of trying to tear down someone who is (whether or not you choose to believe it) a viable candidate for president. Here’s a person who has invigorated people, changed minds, brought TONS of people out and into the political process, and you have nothing but vitriol and rumors and name-calling in response.

    By far the most pathetic site I’ve seen, but good luck with your crazy. It seems like you’re already well on the road.

  • WildChild

    Imaginary New Hampshire tears, made up racism, whack-job accusations of murder, you BOBOweenies had your chance to run an AFFIRMATIVE campaign, instead of trying to tear down someone who is (whether or not you choose to believe it) a viable candidate for president.

    You chose the other route.

  • Bowie

    I’m going to go over this slowly now, so feel free to hold your questions and howling to the end.

    Since it’s quite clear that this site isn’t about Hillary or Barack, I ask myself what it IS about. The answer is simple: This site is about YOU. Your pain, your umbrage, your outrage, your hurt feelings. You you you you YOU.

    I ask why you don’t run an affirmative campaign, and you instead point a quivering finger and ask why Obama didn’t run an affirmative campaign. Two things are going on here; first, you’re not responding to my question about YOUR group and YOUR feelings; second, you point to OLD history to bring up a spurious point about Obama not running an affirmative campaign.

    Do you understand what an affirmative campagin is? It’s a campaign where you don’t concentrate on the negativity of your opponent, but put forth your own ideas for how to improve this country. I just thought I’d try to clear that up.

    Nobody stole this nomination, and the more you protest that it happened, the more you expose yourself as a petulant adolescent, stuck thinking only about YOU.

    How about you get over your angst and whines and outright bull, and try to do something POSITIVE?

    Here’s a cheat sheet for you: Name-calling isn’t positive. Fake facts aren’t positive. Howling about what SHOULD have been isn’t positive.

    Good luck!

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ball your hand into a fist and hit yourself repeatedly in the head.

  • WildChild

    LMAO I’m going to go over this… again… slowly… so please feel free to keep a lid on your laughable self righteous indignation until the end (LOL though I doubt you’ll be able to)

    Imaginary New Hampshire tears…. made up racism… whack-job accusations of murder… you BOBOweenies had your chance to run an AFFIRMATIVE campaign, instead of trying to tear down someone who is (whether or not you choose to believe it) a viable candidate for president.

    You chose the other route.

  • Bowie

    Ha! Self-righteous indignation? That’s the kettle calling the pot sexist.

    I bring up legitimate points, which you respond to with hysterics and childish name-calling. I then try to respond to your post, such as it is, and I get the same response back.

    This is a teachable moment, for sure. And it confirms what I already suspected: both you and this site are entirely devoid of useful information and ideas.

    However, I truly do wish you all the best with whatever it is you’re trying to do, even if it doesn’t relate to the real world in any way.

    Lots of people have a good and healthy imagination. All I ask is that you use yours for good instead of evil.

  • WildChild

    Class, this is a teachable moment. Note the anger and denial our young BOBOweenie exhibits . Notice how it lashes out at the reference to Imaginary New Hampshire tears…. made up racism… whack-job accusations of murder… as hysteria. It is correct. It was hysteria that brought these kibbles and bits into our primary dialog. But it wasn’t the hysteria of Clinton supporters, but rather of the BOBOweenie fringe doing their best to tear down a viable candidate.

    Make sure you take good notes class this material will be on Mondays quiz.

  • Bowie

    Okay, fine. You want to roll around like a pig in dirt, it’s not gonna shorten my lifespan.

    Those tears Hillary Clinton shed in New Hampshire were real, and I sympathized with her at the time. The charge of racism wasn’t “made-up” as you say, when John Edwards pulled 6% in West Virginia and he wasn’t even RUNNING. You say that’s “made-up” racism? As for the point about “whack-job accusations of murder,” I can only assume you’re referring to yet another imaginary point.

    You should be ashamed of yourself. You make up allegations, don’t back them up, and then point at them again when I examine them. That’s the most pathetic type of intellectual weaseling I’ve seen in a long time, and the Bush Cadministration (I hope we can at least agree about THAT) isn’t even over yet.

    But again, despite your continued name-calling, I wish you all the best.

    And I DARE you to respond substantively to ANY of my points. Put away your parrot, and engage me for real. Until then, I have no choice but to assume you either can’t refute my points, or you’re simply too self-involved to care.

  • WildChild

    Those tears Hillary Clinton shed in New Hampshire were real,

    Go to any clip on U-tube and show me the tears. It shouldn’t be difficult. They will look like water running out of her eyes

  • Bowie

    I’m glad we agree about this point, WildChild. I’ll say it again, explicitly: The tears Hillary Clinton shed were REAL.

    Would you like to try another? Perhaps a point where you disagree?

  • WildChild

    ROFLMAO I didn’t think you couldn’t find them. It’s Ok. Hysteria will make you see all kinds of things that aren’t there.

  • Bowie

    Alright, I’m done.

    At this point, arguing with a crazy person only makes ME look crazy.

    But I’ll be the first one there laughing when karma gives you the fist-fucking you truly deserve.

    Unless that day is in late January 2009, in which case I’ll be part of the crowd cheering when President Barack Obama is sworn in.

    Sucks to you!

  • WildChild

    You want to fist fuck me? You want to suck me? WWHOOOOAAAA there your gayness. LMAO that has about as much chance of happening as you ever finding those New Hampshire tears on any clip of the event. May I suggest you place an emergency phone call to BOBO and make him a backseat in the limo offer. LOL word is he’ll pay you too.

    PUMA: The largest of the purring cats, the puma is also the largest cat that cannot roar. Rather, they make three distinctive sounds described as chirping like a bird and crying like a baby.*

    Primarily nocturnal, they are most active one hour before sunset to two hours before sunrise**. This combined with their elusive nature makes proving they exist almost impossible.*

    hahahahahah!!!

  • elizabeth

    I really would like to see these death threats….if they are coming via a site such as noquarter from rabid Obama fans, I hardly would take them too seriously. its just like you guys here – hatred of the candidate and words to reflect that. again, show me some of these threats (and not the Paula Abeles BS)

  • elizabeth

    Oh please…totalitarianism for critiquing Obama?? there is no difference in the degree of hatred you experienced from DK or other such sites than what you all spout here on this site. and you are correct…a free site invites all kinds. so lets not go so far to decry the ‘death threats’ against the list above – highly unlikely.
