Barack Hussein Obama won the Democratic Primary last night. Many are very happy.
But some are not.
I can understand Hillary Clinton supporters being disappointed. After all, their candidate was the presumptive favorite. She even thought so:
And why not? She started with big leads in the polls and she had the big donors behind her.
But her campaign made some huge mistakes; her top campaign manager even called Obama a "flash in the pan"!
But things didn't go so well for them. As they started to get desperate, they started to loudly attack the rank and file Obama supporters.
Bill Clinton said that Obama supporters "didn't need a president".
Of his wife's recent travails, he said, "the caucuses aren't good for her. They disproportionately favor upper-income voters who, who, don't really need a president but feel like they need a change."Bill Clinton dismissed some of Obama's wins:
Bill Clinton called Obama supporters "elitists" who don't follow the same rules as anyone else.
Official Clinton surrogates called Obama supporters a collection of "African Americans and eggheads"Bill Clinton on Barack Obama’s suppoters:
In Clarksburg, Clinton contrasted his wife’s appeal to working-class people with the elitists he says support Obama. He made the same comparison two months when he last campaigned in West Virginia, calling his wife’s critics in the party “glitterati” and “elites.”
“The great divide in this country is not by race or even income, it’s by those who think they are better than everyone else and think they should play by a different set of rules,” he said in Clarksburg. “In West Virginia and Arkansas, we know that when we see it.”
Clinton said his wife’s primary challenger has “got so much money and it’s a different electorate. It’s a little more upscale and modern … than those poor people in Texas and Ohio.”
Obama supporters are called, well, read for yourself:
Of course, there is "he wouldn't be winning if he weren't black" comment by Geraldine Ferraro:
Then Hillary Clinton herself: she implied that Obama supporters are delusional:
She says that she has the support of hard working Americans, White Americans
Much broader base?
Oh she has a much broader something all right:
Then came her graceless, classless speech last night.
Nevertheless, Obama and his official campaign continued to show class.
But I don't have to.
Just listen to some of the more moronic stuff from some of her rank and file supporters:
Here's a sampling of the pearls of wisdom being offered at HillaryClinton.com:Some even resent his running at all!They have totally skrewed Hillary, lets get her on the ballot ourselves!!!We need each other not the DNC or Obama, I refuse to support him! [bb]I sincerely wish that Hillary does not accept the second slot. I just cannot and will not support the Democratic party nominee. I will vote for McCain B4 I vote for BHO. The present DNC has stabbed Hillary in the back, I cannot continuing supporting the Undemocratic party. I will always support and Vote for Hillary but cannot support Chicago mafia(BHO) [bestpresident]Let's take this to DENVER..........She is the only one. I will never vote for BO...Neither will my family or friends..We will either not vote or vote for McCain...Oh, today I just registered and my family and friends too as INDEPENDENTS....SCREW THE DEMOCRATES.... We love HIllary with all of our heart and we will always support and back her...but what the democratic party has done to her they have done to us....ENOUGH!!!!LET THE DNC HANG THEMSELVES........................DISGUSTING!!! [caspercat]I say run as INDEPENDENT NOW!! Obama will want Hillary to campaign for him. Hillary is much greater than that. I hope Hillary goes with the "will of the people." She is the "People's President." I will never think of BO as my President. Nope, I just cannot do it. It is about the way they treated HILLARY. Call it whatever you like, dirty politics, etc. etc. She worked so hard, and every step of the way, they tried to diminish her, even when she won her landslide victories. I say, DENVER - DENVER - DENVER - DENVER [LillaBet]
And of course there are the moronic Clinton supporters who showed up at the DNC rules meeting:
No, you aren't a second class citizen, you aren't even a humanoid; barely a vertebrate perhaps. ;-)
But this was not an isolated thing:
