No More Obama Attack Diaries Here

by oregonkcg, Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 10:53:42 PM EST

Alright, this will be short.

Regardless of who we supporting going into the nomination process those many months ago or who you supported today, it is time to rally around the democratic nominee.

Barack Obama today crossed the magic number threshold and became the presumptive nominee.

As the democratic nominee, we must now support and protect Obama against the swiftboaters and malcontents of the Right.

This means it is time to cease Obama attack diaries on this site.

If you want to elect John McCain and therefore want to continue to attack the presumptive nominee of the party that represents true progressive values in this election, please find another site.

The time is now. The general election will soon be upon us.

Let the attack diaries be solely upon McCain.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (2.00 / 5)

what, so if we support Obama but don't like some of his policies, we can't talk about them?

are we republicans now? Cause that is how republicans act. Never critize, just step in line and shut your eyes.

I will vote for Obama. I am not thrilled with some of his policies and I hope I can still talk about those here.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (none / 0)

Yes, of course you can discuss and criticize policy.

Just please don't post hit-pieces. You aren't known for that anyway.

Loyal opposition is fine. Emphasis on "loyal" you understand.

ahem. (2.00 / 5)

i agree with this diary - but i believe that you are always quick to comment in hillary attack diaries. the diarist should change the content to reflect those types of diaries as well.

Re: ahem. (none / 0)

I may be quick to post, but I have never posted an "attack diary" against Senator Clinton.

I bashed that superdelegate who hops candidates every few weeks, but that's not the same thing.

im not saying that... (2.00 / 1)

you post attack diaries - but you certainly cheer them on.

Re: im not saying that... (none / 0)

Re-read my post history. You are exaggerating your point.

I'm being respectful, but that's not easy. I don't attack Senator Clinton. I do, on occasion, take issue with her tactics and some of her supporters.

There is a distinction. I don't push smears.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (2.00 / 3)

well, then the diarist needs to make it clearer then.

because his diary is basically "lock-step" with Obama. I think it is insulting to post such a diary here.

yes, we have a few diarists here with questionable creds. But that is not the whole of mydd and if this diarist knew enough about mydd, they wouldn't NEED to post this piece of crap diary that just insults everyone on here.

sorry. have to vent when I read this type of crud that states "what we have to do".

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (none / 0)

no, what the diary is doing is reflecting MyDD policy that now that we have a nominee, we won't be dealing in trash about them ~

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (none / 0)

His policies are almost exactly the same as Senator Clinton's. All the animosity some of her supporters feel for him is based on something other than policy. Who he is. What he is. It has NOTHING to do with policy. It's disingenuous to chalk it up to policy differences, because there are none.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (2.00 / 1)

yes there are some differences. I hold no animosity towards Obama - I disagree with some of his positions on his policies.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (2.00 / 2)

Sure, I'll stop the Obama "attack" when the attack on clinton stop.

She needs protecting too,

by TaiChiMaster on Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 10:57:03 PM EST

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (none / 0)

Please don't be such a sexist and imply that she "needs protection."

She can take care of herself very well, thank you very much.

She needs protection "As a democrat" of course, not necessarilly because she is a female.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (none / 0)

It's no longer about Hillary. She's not the nominee. Obama quit criticizing her a good long while ago.

It's time to decide if you're with the nominee, or with the GOP.

I hope your admonition extends (none / 0)

to attacks on the Clintons too.

by phoenixdreamz on Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 11:02:05 PM EST

Re: I hope your admonition extends (1.00 / 1)

The criticism of the Clintons ends when Hillary concedes. She hasn't even acknowledged that Obama is the nominee. Until she does, she deliberately retains the position to do his campaign damage.

Agreed, but (2.00 / 5)

the Hillary attack diaries should stop, also. They aren't helpful at this point.

Even John McCain lusts after teh engels.

ALL attack diaries need to end. (2.00 / 2)

Attack diaries against all Democrats need to end. Criticism is fair, but attacks are not.

Another Clintonista against John McCain

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (2.00 / 2)

The diarist is a hypoctite - his attacks on Clinton have been much more audacious than anything I have even remotely posted against Obama.

by bsavage on Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 11:13:28 PM EST

So it's a general cease-fire. (none / 0)

The diarist agrees with you, as I hope we all do.

No "hit" diaries of any kind, unless they're about my namesake, Old Man McNasty. What would the point be now anyway?

Re: Cast your eyes upward, (none / 0)

I did.

the diarist, oregonkcg, has not commented on his own thread.

hence, I would not have asked.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (none / 0)

Friend, this thread is beginning to read like a monty python sketch.

1. Diarist proposed an embargo on Obama hit pieces.

2. In comments, clarification was begun between criticism and attack.

3. Further comments proposed a general embargo on attack diaries, extending in particular to the Clintons. No one spoke against it.

Emerging consensus need not be so fraught.

Re: No More Obama Attack Diaries Here (none / 0)

Its time for my customary battle cry: For the Horde!!!

But to be serious we should just rip on McCain 24/7. You don't have to worry about me saying crappy things about Clinton, I enjoy harassing the Republicans not Democrats.

by Xris on Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 11:39:09 PM EST

Thanks, but NO thanks (2.00 / 1)

If Obama does something I disagree with, I will call him out for it. I'm no sheep and this isn't DailyKult where everybody cheerleads for Obama, while those who even question, are purged.

Rule #1 for me is to keep politicians accountable for what they say and do.
