a rather simple choice.

...except to attack Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, for a set of things that were either (a) said/done by other people, (b) not actually said/done at all, or (c) said/done by the Obama campaign but blown so completely out of context and good faith as to be false by any fair measure?

Please delete this diary.  It serves no useful purpose.

You go girl!

You sound bitter.

Spare me an attack on Obama and on the majority of his supporters.  If you had a point, it was lost amidst the bullshit.

High pressure front comin' atcha!

Barack Obama told us he had heard the boos when she was speaking and told those in no uncertain terms that Senator Clinton was terrific. When one person still loudly booed then, he pointed right to that section and said, "I'm talking to you right there."

Four recommends and this is on the Rec List.

Some audience members booed?

OMFG!

Wow it don't take a whole lot of recs to get something on the rec list here, does it?!?!?

What a joke.

Kosnomore -

You either need to get over it and learn ignore the immature who think booing is funny and move on. Or finally just come out and say your voting for McCain and find some other place to post.

This is the best diary I've seen on MyDD in quite awhile.  Keep speaking the truth.  It must not be swept under the rug.

You are bitter... and no wonder, because you have a very ugly memory of the primary campaign. Even ignoring the fact that you will never, ever separate a campaign from negativity (not even a high school election is free of poeple taking it to the extreme), several of the points you made are just blatantly false.

If I were you, I would actually step back and rethink. Not just whether all of these things actually happened, not just whether you haven't exaggerated some of those things in your mind, not just whether your negative feelings about Obama (both justified and unjustified) clouded your feelings, but whether it's worth it to think this way in the first place.

Drop the hate and then look back at these moments with objectivity. Look at things Obama's people got angry about with objectivity. It happened on both sides, but if I was still angry about all the things Hillary said in the campaign, then I'd be miserable.

I don't get it.  We have a nominee, now, after a hard-fought primary.

Do you want the Democrats to take back the White House, or not.

Aha, I get it!  Obama told Axelrod to say something (no link, so I don't know what) to a reporter, so that an audience member would "boo" Clinton, so that Obama could call that out and praise Clinton, so that the final nails would at last be driven into the coffin of Clinton's defeat, thereby ensuring his victory and a hundred-year setback to women's rights.

Truly, his evil is as subtle as it is vast.

...pretty soon she will be ignored.  I hope that makes you happy.

Look, a crowd was revved for their candidate, and more than likely would have booed ice cream if it wasn't their  candidate (who was uncharacteristically late).

I am very glad to see Obama chastised them, as he should.  And lauded Clinton, as he should.  

I can understand, it was a long, tough campaign, and it's going to take a while for Hillary's supporters to get through the grieving process.

But do not mistake this: 99% of Obama's supporters feel just like Obama.  Hillary is and will continue to be a formidable Democrat, she has a great future, there is great respect for her, and great respect for her supporters.

Now, have a hug, go smell the roses for a bit, relax and rejuvenate.  We all have work to do for our party.  ;-)

We made daily references to Monica and unnamed unspecific allegations of philandering by Bill

That's a big claim... daily.  In rational debate, you are expected to support claims.

Please post 492 links - one each day since Barack Obama declared his candidacy - in which the Obama campaign references "Monica and unnamed unspecific allegations of philandering by Bill."  Support your claims, retract them, or be known as a liar.

(including Michele saying Hillary should `take care of her house'

The full quote:

So our view was that, if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. So, so we've adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first, so while he's traveling around, I do day trips. That means I get up in the morning, I get the girls ready, I get them off, I go and do trips, I'm home before bedtime. So the girls know that I was gone somewhere, but they don't care. They just know that I was at home to tuck them in at night, and it keeps them grounded, and, and children, the children in our country have to know that they come first.

You have now been educated.  You no longer have ignorance as an excuse.  If I see you use that talking point again, it gets HRed.

I find the poll the most fascinating part of this diary. She reels in a poll regarding the immaturity of booing a Democratic senator at a Demcratic event, but fails to see the irony that she is attacking the Democratic nominee at a Democratic site? Did anyone else catch that?

REC SOMETHING ELSE!!! It won't take much to get this off the rec list.

How does something like this make the rec list with so few recs?  I've seen great pieces on here with 10+ recs (that probably make Jerome uncomfortable) that never make the rec list.

Boo who?

So apparently Obama can't win by being classy.

Fair enough.

atdleft has a great diary up on the rec list.  Let's go rec that.

Seriously.  You're making up the Solis-Doyle connection.

Also, we discussed this yesterday.

So when Obama's patriotism is attacked, he's being "vetted", but when Hillary's tactics are called into question, suddenly you get upset? Did think there was going to be a campaign where one side attacks and the other doesn't?

I think you should take a break from being a political junkie.  This is over the top.  Is this MyDD or the freerepublic?

taking a huge dump, photographing it, posting it online and having it make the Rec list.

I'm telling you you're a troll...but don't boo me!

and if the shoe were on the other foot? She would do the same to encourage Obama supporters...and then we all sit and list the terribel things she said about Obama. Grow up or go find a hobby or take your meds and leave the adults alone.

Nice, this got dropped from the rec list.  

Damn, someone got this silliness back on the rec list.

Deadendosphere already?

Crap diary from a Pumateer.

this is really pitiful writing not to mention thinking. In the end it gets funny to see a grown person act so pitiful so long after losing.

Yawn. I'm pretty sure it's you who doesn't get it- sorry, don't mean to get in the way of your strawman.

kosnomore is so fucking predictable.

y-a-w-n

She didn't win the popular vote, but she ran a heck of a campaign.  THe supporters were wrong to boo and Obama was RIGHT to tell them not too.

While I don't agree with the attacks on Obama, I think that many seem not to appreciate the imperative of OBAMA himself taking a far more vigorous role in healing the wounds of the campaign.  OBAMA IS THE PARTY LEADER, SO HE IS RESPONSIBLE AND MUST LEAD.

For starters, he needs to do a few key things:

1.  speak about sexism in our country, with the eloquence he devoted to racism.
   
2.  make vastly more clear to his supporters (and, most important, to his surrogates) that the anti-Hillary comments and language are unacceptable.
   
3.  actually make an effort to reach out to the 49% of Dems who voted for Hillary, such as spending time in WV and KY; his choice to IGNORE those states (while politically understandable) was a real slap-in-the-face to many.

Obama surely has my vote, because I am a Democrat, and because McCain (aka, another 4 years of Bush) would be a disaster.  Obama has not, yet, however, won my support.  That difference is critical.

So, while ignoring the shrill, neither Obama supporters nor the Party can afford to ignore the intense anger and disillusionment with both the Party (its silence on sexism and preference for Obama), or with Obama himself.

PS, I do NOT believe that sexism caused HRC to lose the nomination.  The cause was a poorly run campaign.  But that fact in no way diminishes the vile sexism promulgated by other, but never dis-owned, by Obama.  We have work to do!

I'm going to vote McCain! That'll show those random people who booed in the audience! And when we get shipped to Iran, i'll boo them! HAH! REVENGE!

should we really be surprised?

Is it really so hard to refocus on Hillary's new goals?  Let go of your anger, it's only hurting yourself.

Half of your assertions are unsupported, the other half are indictments of the media and ground-level supporters. There's also a smattering of manufactured indignation, like choosing to interpret "Likable enough" as some sort of sexist attack.

A dozen or so Hillary supporters booed Obama at her concession. A dozen or so Obama supporters booed Hillary here. If you have a problem with any public figure who can produce a dozen assholes in a crowd of thousands, you need to get out of the political world right now.

Both Obama and Clinton got catty in the primary, but that's where it stopped. Overall, both have remained cordial and gracious. If you'll damn the man for sticking up for her just as you did for saying nothing (and by the way, it's not his job or area of experience to address sexism; he wrote a speech on race because its an issue in his own life he can understand and speak to as gender difficulties never can be for him), then you're simply anti-Obama.

And anti-Democratic candidate diaries are troll-rated, plain and simple.

Gotta love diaries that contain a whole lot of righteous anger and not much else.  Your points would be made even better with the use of bold tags, and I would also like to see more caps in the future.
