Instead of this useless comment, you could have provided a link (or multiple links) to actual evidence (comments that call people racist) to support your position. If they're as plentiful as your comment insinuates, it should not be a particularly difficult task.
Are you serious there were continual charges of racism against the Clintons and their supporters all spring. Because I'm a democrat I'm going to be supporting Obama but spare us the hypocisy about the nonsense spouted here on his behalf. And as for the first amendment issue I agree entirely. The Obamanauts turned Kos into a little stalinist politburo and it's not needed here. If folks want to express their opinions they should be allowed to without the Obama thought police jumping all over them. If they are completely stupid in attacking Obama and some of them are who is going to pay any attention.
I wasn't here all spring. As such, all I see is a claim of something being very widespread without proof of its existence in any form. I'm not saying it didn't happen, since I wasn't here to witness it, I'm simply saying that proclaiming "continual charges of racism" is only justified when you can back it up with evidence.
that any person who posts anything that is not in rousing praise of Obama, even if they have proclaimed their intent to vote for him, they are considered a liar if they do not provide a link. Hell, we can state that there was a moon out last night and be told that unless we provide a link, that it did not happen.
That's how sad the discourse has become around here for folks who weren't Obama cheerleaders from day one.
Sources are for fascists!
really? I think links are probably necessary when the charge is of that magnitude, dontcha think? Plus you dont need links for things that everyone knows. Like, fire burns - no link vs this person called 17 people racists in the past two days - yeah, need some links for that
There weren't continuous charges of racism against the Clintons and her supporters on this site all spring. There were discussions of racial issues in the Clinton campaign. There were a shit ton of Clinton supporters who responded to these discussions by assuming that the discussion itself had as its goal to declare them racist. Over and over and over again a Clinton supporter would write "I'm tired of being told I'm racist because I'm not voting for Obama" and over and over again Obama supporters would ask for an example of that Clinton supporter being told they were racist for not voting for Obama. Examples were rarely provided, and when they were they usually involved the poster saying something, well, at the very least racially problematic.
The notion that all Clinton supporters were constantly being accused of racism on this site is one of the stronger collective delusions I've witnessed. It just wasn't happening. They would bring it up constantly, but I never saw a post accusing a Clinton supporter of being racist because they didn't vote for Obama, (rather than, say, because they wrote a diary about uppity black men). Maybe it happened once and then it turned into the "vietnam vets spit on in airports" of this primary campaign, where despite the lack of documentation people come to believe that the experience was common.
Hard core Clintonistas claim they hav been spit on this primary season by Obama suporters.
And BTW, I called Catfish2 a racist because she is one.
