I'm as pro-Obama as they come, but this diary, at the end of a difficult night for Clinton supporters on this site is just plain obnoxious.  If someone had written this about Obama (and they've come pretty dam close on Hillis44.org) I would be insanely offended.

Please delete this diary!

I wonder what your aims are in publishing diaries like this on a near daily basis.  

I really don't understand why you must bring affirmative action into this?

Do you really have to post this tonight?  It's a little insensitive, and I say that as an Obama supporter who really dislikes Hillary.

It is totally uncalled for and only intended to incite anger.  It is not even relevant to the state of the race.

Operation Chaos at work I think.

to be engaging in this. And so I hold it extremely odd that compassionate people would do this.

I don't want to call foul but I find it odd that such inciting things would be said. It reeks of trollism and an attempt to take enjoyment out of others suffering.

And so cut it the fuck out.

Thanks.

What a suprise, no tip jar...

I don't fully understand this sort of behavior. You've written some really top-notch diaries, even recently in the midst of the primaries (1, 2). I've enjoyed some of your work immensely, but then you always undermine your considerable talents by writing trollish nonsense like this. You're obviously intelligent, and you're an excellent writer. So what's the point of writing things which are intended solely to incite animosity and resentment?

This is a spiteful and disappointing diary. Usually, it would make me mad, but I'm feeling pretty down tonight. This diary just saddens me further. Your candidate won an impressive victory tonight. Delight in that, but don't go out of your way to taunt and irritate others. This diary accomplishes nothing. I hope to see a truly substantive and thought-provoking piece from you next time.

Then, she'll find that the entire Democratic Party respects her spunk and demands her return to the campaign trail in support of the Democratic nominee.

But, like Bill said, if she no longer can stand the heat, then she no longer should be in the kitchen.

You do Barack no favors with this sort of insulting, sore-winner diary.  This is exactly the sort of crap we need to not be doing right now.

Please, HRC supporters, realize that this diary far from speaks for all of us.

Wow!!! This is my first time here and I am simply amazed at the dialog here. What is very puzzling to me is the tone of the comments here to what I consider a very provactive question. The fact that this author has use a phrase that is erroneously associated with the implementation of quota systems to employ minorities and specifically African Americans to the Democratic primary candidates is, in my opinion brilliant. The unfortunate thing here, is that it is quite apparent that most of the commenters here are not aware that the primary beneficiaries of Affirmative Action in this Country have and continue to be white women.

While it is certain that Hillary has been quite successful in garnering the support of white women, it is also a certainty that she will not win this election without the support of African Americans - and specifically the same African Americans who supported and voted for her husband. Yet, she and her campaign team have done all in their power to not only polarize this former base but also minimize and antagonize it. She knows this, and has as a result, gone after the "Affirmative Action" vote. Interesting...very interesting.

This is all very interesting to me - but it is also par for the course. Don't know why I expected more from a site entitled "My Direct Democracy". Guess i'm one of those vitriolic Obama supporters that needs to have some humility. Oh, how funny!
