  • KateTex

    There are TONS of nice and rational Obama supporters. Admittedly Clinton supporters have gotten me super angry from time to time (most definitely you have gotten me upset at some of the stuff you've posted), but, girlfriend, I'm starting to think you have the blinders on and only read that which will upset you. I'm starting to get over my anger at Clinton supporters. It really helps the stress levels. You should take Sugarman's advice and learn to scroll past the people who offend you most.

  • Dumanny

    You are right on one thing, you did not call Obama a racist. I apologize for lumping you in with idiots like Kate,Proudtexas and Cynthera.

  • Obama's Wright Problem Is Not Hillary's Fault -- It's Obama's

    The number of accusations on these pages and elsewhere that Hillary is running a racist campaign displays unbelievable hypocrisy. Wright is not Hillary's invention. Wright would be a problem for Obama if Hillary did not exist.

    No, Obamiacs, it is you and your candidate that are the problem. Obama has shown dishonesty, vacillation and incompetence in dealing with this mess of his own creation. You can call Hillary and her supporters racists all you want -- it is not only a flat-out lie, but it will lose Obama the election, even if he somehow gets the nomination.

    I say again: the best thing would be for Obama to pull out now and run again another time when his ducks are in a row. His candidacy this time is going nowhere good.

  • @Dumanny; More info on Obama's money please

    He seems to have unlimited money. Did it come from Oil or indirect foreign Source? Is there a web site for track the money?

  • micky Putll your head out

    Micky, Obama is going further then Hillary. The fact of the matter if you Hillary supporters don't vote for the nominee (Barcak) it wil be your fought when we get Bushlight. You will have cut your noses of to spite your face. Once, again I ask the question how is Rev. Wright or Obama Racist?

    Where in Rev. Wright's sermons or speeches did ne call for bombing white churches, dragging a black man down the street until his head is severed from his body (James Byrd) or putting a plunger up the rectum of a man, or putting nooses up in the workplace?

    When did Rev. Wright block acess to education,healthcare and employement of white people? When did Rev. Wright arrest people just because they were driving black? HOw is he anti-American? When did he call for the bombing of a federal building killing 168 people including children (Tim McVigh) because of a belief the government was helping people he hated, or bombing abortion clinic. How many of Rev. Wright's parishoners have not voted for Clinton/Gore-Kerry/Edwards-Mondal/Farraro because they were white.

    Oh I believe when he Micky that when Rev. Wright was called to duty he served his country. Did Clinton? Hell no. If Rev. Wright was right you would agree on his critque of American foreign policy. America under Bush I,Bush II have been tilted to Isarel.

    We have had our hand in the affairs of to many countries. Rev. Wright asked the question did we not think that one day the violence we transmitted would not one day come back to us?

  • @hatchet

    This 'idiot' is a chronic voter, as are the many other 'idiots', well, make that 'racist idiots' who have been so badly mauled by Obamaites that they have been almost completely alienated from your candidate, some of them forever. What is this magical thinking that says, "Okay, I can say the nastiest, most vile things about Clinton and her supporters because, come November if it's McCain and Obama, they'll be in a trick box." Guess again. There's always the option of staying home. Hard as it may be for you and your fellow haters to fathom, some of the 'idiots' you love to slash have healthy consciences, which they consult when they vote. Mine seems to answer that I don't have a duty to vote for something I can't quite respect.

  • Vile, Disgusting, Pig-like Obamatoniacs on the Salon Letters Board Drove Me To HRC (And McCain if Obama steals this nomination)

    Yes, I used to be a lemminglike elitist Obamaramamanicbot Cultist, but mean, naughty Obamadramamamas here offended me soooo much that I am voting for Hillary. If she doesn't get the nomination which is hers by Divine Right, then I shall PROUDLY cast my vote for McCain in November. I will give the GOP as much money as possible and actively campaign for him 60 hours a week. I've just had enough of these vile filthy sexist elitist degenerate Obama supporters here in the Salon letters section. I've had it.

    If Barack Obama can't control the letters section of a free progressive web magazine that's been around for 12 years, how can he run the country???

    Hillary '08!!!

  • It's interesting

    I'm watching Limbaugh's OPeration Chaos at work. It's clear that several posters here are Republicans simply yanking chains and trying to sow anger between the candidate's backers by calling the different backers' names. Stupid people are falling for it. For the record, most Obamaites and Clintonites are respectful and sane.

    The people here falling for Operation Chaos should take a big step back. Why would Clintonites post racist comments? Why would Obamaities post stereotypical comments? Doesn't it make more sense that Republicans sowing discord by impersonating both groups?

    Think, people. Limbaugh's dittoheads are amobg you.

  • HateTex

    Shame of the loan star state.

  • Or is that

    Sham of the discount rate?

  • Hillary supporters

    That neocon bitch just called the other day for the nuclear annihilation of Iran lest Iran attacks Israel, which is by the way perfectly capable of defending herself. That would mean the killing of millions of innocent Iranian civilians who would have had no control or say over an Iranian attack on Israel. Such chilling murderous and pandering(to the Jewish vote) nonsense should have put her in the camp of the most unbalanced war mongering right wing lunatics, and disqualified her as a Democratic candidate, yet Clinton supporters dare whine about Rev. Wright, who has never called for the killing of anybody.

  • @RJ "Tracking the money" is not hard

    I know you've been pushing your dirty money conspiracy theory. The Obama campaign will have upwards of 1.5 million donors soon. That's where most of the money is coming from. You should check out opensecrets.org or go to fec.gov. The campaigns are required by law to report where the money is coming from, and where they are spending it.
