Since when did dissenting opinions become a bad thing as long as it's done in a respectful manner?
Stupid of me, I know, but I checked the NoQuarter website this morning and saw some absolutely ridiculous claims being made about Obama. Obama supporter? Yes, but that does not mean I don't care about the facts.
I know Obama is not perfect and will make mistakes. He has,in fact, stated this himself, which is a rarity in politics. If I disagree with some of his stances on the issues or does something I dislike, I will state my opinion and include why I dislike it or disagree with it, but it will be done with reason or fact to back it up. It will not be done with malice, rumor, lies, or hatred.
What I read today on NoQuarter was not just disturbing, it was deplorable. I commented a couple of times there after reading some of the outrageous half-truths or outright distortions and lies. Both times, my comments were immediately deleted. I mean deleted after a few seconds.
What bothers me the most is that they claim to be democrats. Since when did censorship enter into democracy? Yes, they are a pro-Hillary website, but the propaganda drips from their articles. It pisses me off because they are out solely to ruin Obama. It really pisses me off because it's not about "may the best person win" or "advocate my candidate" sort of thing, it's all about distorting and ruining a fellow democrat to benefit their own agenda. That's what Bush/Cheney/Rove did over the past several years.
One "article", and I use that word ironically, is about why they don't care to hear from the "Obamazoids". It's almost scary.
On behalf of millions of Clinton supporters who have made it very clear that we will vote for a cockroach before we vote for Barack Obama, I would like you pieces of Obama crap to know that you can kiss our asses. We will collectively do everything in our power to see to it that you and that mysogynist, bigoted, race-baiting pig you worship, the fraud who has already set gender and racial relations back thirty years, goes down in flames in a big way. And there are millions of us. Millions. The kind of millions that brought his type down before from the voting booth.
Our goal is to make Barack Obama lose by an even bigger margin than George McGovern, and he got 38% thanks to his ill-behaved savage followers. And you guys are worse! And George was actually a gentleman with some brains, unlike Barky Obama. He didn’t even do the rap on camera and give people the finger. His nutcase followers didn’t even have the internet where they could make comments about slitting Hillary Clinton’s throat and tossing her into a river like you guys do at my.barackobama. But, there is one huge simlilarity. Like his crackpot followers, you folks are the reason that the Democratic Party has only elected only two Presidents in thirty years. And only one of them served two terms. Guess why? Because he was a moderate instead of a crackpot Marxist hanging off some radical cliff.
Nice. Don't you think? Medication comes to mind with this person. This site, among a few I'm sure, doesn't do much to lift up their candidate. This site doesn't do anything to support the democratic party. It's only there to ruin Obama.
Who are these people?? Who do they think they're helping here?? They sure aren't helping Hillary. Talk about being in a bubble. I thought I saw nutty from some Bush-backers, but this is a bunch of nuts surrounded by some fruit and then covered with more nuts.
I guess there's really no point to this diary, just venting, but needed to do so where there are actual people with actual brains who can actually think for themselves.
