You nailed it on the head; and everybody else is scared to talk about it. But facts are facts:

once we let two same sex people get married, how are we going to stop people from marrying their pets and their household objects? Nobody addresses this important point. Thanks.

Joan, I swear that after this post I'll be done with questions relating to your reaction to Obama-Idiots.

But this morning, reading your words:

I would say that one thing, more than anything else, accounts for my discomfort with the Obama phenomenon: The snobbery of some of his supporters, the self-righteousness, the claim that they're enlightened and smarter and just overall better people than those who won't vote for Obama.

I just had to go there one more time.....

I'm always interested in how our projections function in our day to day life; all the ways we "deal" with the fears/dissapointment/anger that we never really deal with; how instead of going into the super scary or sad or angry place we displace all that onto some object "out there" and make that the core dilemma...

I notice that you use the word "projection" a lot and I think we probably use it the same basic way. Ok, so my theory is that my tendency is to delusionally and somewhat regularly make your blogs "a problem" (that is, via projection I use you to escape my real problem) in reaction to how you delusionally and somewhat regularly make the worst of Obama supporters into a problem, as a way of avoiding whatever is really going on below the surface (which I am not asking to discuss!).

For some reason I am so stuck on how stuck you are on Obama's worst supporters. And I'm kind of happy that you acknowledge that this is one of your core complaints because it at least somewhat justifies me beating this horse too much.

I don't get it. I can immediately go online and find you examples of Hillary or McCain supporters that will easily match any type of arrogance you show me of Obama's worst people. Everybody is using this election to play out their little (but painful and unhelpful) psycho-dramas). And I can't believe you are unaware of how viscous and self righteous and bitter Clinton's worst are. Look at MY arrogance: I refuse to accept what you are claiming is your experience. That is gross! In a way I am using you to project myself into the very type of Obama supporter that proves your delusional point! I simply don't believe that you actually think Hillary's worst supporters are lesser in number or more benign in kind than Obama's. That why I am guessing that your fixation on his worst people is a way of ignoring something else. I don't want to know what that is, but I do want to know that it is....

If Obama was losing (which isn't that hard to imagine considering the nature of this race), my guess is that you wouldn't be all that attentive to his worst folks. Oh, jeez.....I just realized that my whole hypothesis that you are not a Hillary supporter may be undermined by this posting. It might be that at some point you did shift and your heart started beating stronger for Clinton, you felt some kind of conflict and, boom, Obama's worst people became a convenient prop, always there to consistently kind of prove your new found energy for Clinton. And hey, considering the nature of web comment sections...you also put yourself in the perfect circumstance to constantly get "validation" that there really is something special about Obama's worst people.....

Ok, enough free writing psycho-babble. My take is that Clinton has awful people supporting her and that those people are no better than Obama's worst supporters. In your opinion there is something very significant and uniquely awful about Obama's worst supporters. We disagree. You probably see my inability to accept that Obama inspires a worse type supporter as some kind of proof that he does entrance even his relatively normal supporter. I see your fixation on his worst as "proof" that there is something else going on that we don't (and should NOT) have access to. But at least my fixation on your fixation is a compliment: I think you are bright and I don't think at the end of the day you really are ready to say that the fowl punk snobs who support Obama are meaningfully worse that the atrocious idiots we can see supporting Clinton.

I'm done. I'm sorry. It really is waste of space, on some level, to blather about this notion of who inspires worse supporters, but it appears that one of the healthiest functions of this comment section is that everybody blathers about their particular fixations and some people accept the delusions (as long as they aren't unkindly pointed) whereas some people seem to come here solely to "know" how stupid we are. We are stupid. But that should be the given.
