Breaking the Democratic deadlock

If Obama wants to secure the nomination next week, he'll need to recapture the working-class voters who helped him rout Clinton in Wisconsin.

The letters thread is now closed.

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.

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.

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!!!

@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.

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?

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

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.

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.

Surely you jest. Even Hillary made the point that her and Baracks voting record are very similar. So many of the same bills that he supported so did she.

If you did your research he like many politicians vote down bills because they have other nonsense attached to them. You girl Hillary give the green light to Bush and his cronies to go to war against Iran. By putting their Guard on the terrorist list Hillary did not learn her lesson. All the candidates except Hillary voted with Libermann.

Now lets not even get into sleazy partners. Hillary and Bill pardoned drug pushers. They also pardoned two Weatherman. Hillary has just has many shady deals with people questionable people as Barack. Also, Hillary you know if Hillary did not have the Name recognition of Clinton she would not have been elected in NY. The same arguement you are making against Barack is the same arguement RUSH made when she ran for office in NY. He called her a carpetbagger who had no experience.

This is what I base my vote on. In 93-94 Hillary had the full weight of the American people,the President,house and Senate on her side and she could not get it done. Yes the Republicans fought her tooth and nail but the reason she could not get Universal Health care passed was because not enough DEMOCRATS voted with her.

Dummanny, the defections of many of her husbands supporters have to tell us something. There has to be a reason Al Gore did not run on the Clinton/Gore record. Now the superdelgate in Indiana a former Clinton supporter is saying he dislikes her politics. I would rather go by a person how knows her then for someone like you or I just reading bias reports of a candidate. This man knows the Clintons and for some reason he, Richardson, Reich and others are not supporting her. I believe she is the more crooked politician.
