Did YOU ever listen to someone who slapped you in the face? Do you require that slap before you listen. Do you think slapping is acceptable?

I don't. Sorry, old chum.

The only “inciting rhetoric” here is yours. And, really, Talk Left and Taylor Marsh are always hiring pro-Hillary comments, especially “slaps to the face” of Obama and anyone who isn't pro-Hillary.

My posts are intended to be slaps in the face. Those who are moderate are not standing up for Moderate values.

Barak Obama wants to be a moderate. He wants to be inclusive and his supporters do not. I am calling ALL of you to task on this.

IF indeed this is your positions then you should stand up for and be counted. You should be on those who are being hate Hillary like pigs on slop.

I find you are not. You being the collective majority of Barak Obama supporters. This is my contention and if blanket statements meant to reproach 90 percent of those vocal and politically active seems to cover the innocent then unfortunately one should simply step up to the plate and stand up and be counted.

I am a Hillary Clinton Supporter. I stepped up to the plate and wrote her an open letter to step down for the good of the party. I dont like it. I wanted her to be the nominee but Im willing to step up for whats best for this party and for America.

I find 95 percent of the Obama supporters are not willing to step up to the plate and embrace his MODERATE, lets all get along and become friends again campaign. What I find in reading their discourses is anything but moderate.

So I have two bits of advice. If you indeed want to be moderate then you need to write that. Show that. Stop calling Hillary names damnit. We have had enough of that this last 5 years.

Its time to step up to the plate and demand that Obama be the moderate that he claims but even more so that those who support this BE THE MODERATE THAT THEY CLAIM.

Until I see evidence of this I will continue pointing fingers and calling people out and asking them to defend their inciting rhetoric.

Instead you keep talking about the supporters of Barack Obama trying to destroy Hillary, stopping at nothing, have no desire to work with the GOP, just want to cram things down people's throats, etc.. (I am taking items from your comments above.) Again, you can make these arguments about Michael's posts, if you so wish, but people on this web site who have clearly supported Obama have also clearly argued they hope for compromise, they hope to unite others, they are excited by the draw of Obama towards some Republicans, etc. Essentially some supporters of Obama are hoping for the exact things that you claim Obama supporters hate. In short (yeah right, like I ever write short stuff), the basic problem is that you are taking the views from some Obama supporters that you most disagree with and claiming this is what Obama supporters are like, when it clearly is not the case.

I find it very revealing that Obama supporters biggest claim is that Barak Obama wants to be moderate and a Uniter and yet here are people like Mr. Strickings posting positions like this that is an attack upon Hillary for attempting to talk to the other side and illicit some support.

This is revealing because Barak as part of the broader democratic strategy would not participate in Fox news sponsored debates and yet fall all over themselves for debates held by the Obama rooting MSNBC. This again is revealing for a candidate who purports to be a Moderate. Uniter. Candidate of change who will bring Republicans over to “Our Side.”

He wont even talk to Fox news. How is this a sign of a moderate, Uniter?

So the candidate who was Barak Obama when he threw his hat in the ring was one thing. His supporters have turned him into something entirely different. It is the supporters of Barak Obama who are driven to destroy Hillary. They seemingly will stop at nothing.

These supporters as I see them will stop at nothing to win. Winning is everything.

This is not Obama doing this. This is his supporters.

This post was SURROGATES. Polimom. This is a discussion about SURROGATES fighting the political battles. That was what I addressed. Sorry that you feel offended by what I perceive as the truth about the surrogate battles of this primary.

I guess it attacks Obama and his supporters?

Polimom makes a good point, which I would expand upon here. There are anti-Obama Blogs where you can scream to your heart's content and find company in denouncing Obama.

Taylor Marsh would be perfect fit for bluster and sarcasm.

And Talk Left is Hillary Clinton dot com, with the added hilarity that the biggest and most consistent critic of Obama and everything about Obama the man and candidate, the blogger there who calls himself Big Tent Democrat, attacks Obama several times a day while maintaining a public stance that he “favors” Obama.

This post by Michael Stickings has enfuriated Big Tent, even though what Mr. Stickings writes is accurate. Big Tent believes that we do not see his nuanced attack on Obama and endless excusing and praise and campaigning for Hillary as support for Obama and quiet dispassionate realism.

It is all quite comical. I love The Moderate Voice because it is moderate and bloggers and commenters try to speak honestly. Please tamp down your sarcasm WhoCares. There are (as I said) so many sites that welcome such talk. Why post it here?

I'm not exactly sure what causes us to do this. Part of it might be the need to categorize the world (truly a fundamental need and one of our greatest human assets) and therefore to focus upon differences. Part of it might be a natural reaction to attacks. If two jocks beat me up in school and I have no experience with the 200 other jocks who are decent people, I might start thinking of jocks as people who beat people up. Similarly, if a person supports Clinton, such as in this case, then attacks on her will always take more notice than a lack of attack from everyone else who happens to disagree. The attacks are not in fact representative of people who disagree with Clinton, but they are more often than not taken that way.

Really?

Barak Obama can get along with Iran and make them our buddies and strike a deal with them. He can Bring Ahmadinejad to the table and look into his soul and work out compromises.

But the party cant work with people like Scaiffe?

Why? Have we tried or have we so gone off the deep end that trying with Americans is harder then Making Iran our buddy?

I suggest that Hillary is the only moderate Democrat in this campaign. She has shown a willingness to work with Republicans. Compromise principals to vote her heart and conscience. Obama. He just votes party lines and proclaims himself a moderate.

With each passing day the puzzle that is the Obama bandwagon is becoming clearer and clearer. There is no desire to be moderate. No desire to work with the GOP. We just want to have a veto proof majority so we can cram it down their freakin throats. Those supporting Obama dont want to work with and be moderate. They want their agenda fulfilled and their writings are starting to show this disturbing trend.

You want to elect Barak Obama because he promises to be Moderate.

Like Republicans.

Get Along.

Be happy.

Not treat the right as enemies.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. We all know based upon stories like this that if Hillary tries to get along with the Right wing. SHES SUCKING UP. BEING A TRAITOR. GOING OFF THE DEEP END.

Or as the op points out…………Here’s the latest Clintonian trend: suck up to the right-wing media.

So this tells me one thing……The entire Barak Obama campaign is a lie. Their is no desire to make friends with the right, cozy up to those who are their opponents and to try and make peace and get along.

Barak Obama is defined by his supporters. His supporters clearly want WAR with Hillary and with the Right wing Evil.

Thanks for informing us of the true intent of the Barak Obama express to the White House. Enquiring minds want to know.

But they do seem to be taking cues from the campaign. Hillary meets with Scaife, the Clinton campaign uses American Spectator articles to smear Obama surrogates, Rendell calls Fox the most fair and balanced, and on and on. It's not an April Fools joke, it's tragedy.

Pretty hilarious stuff.
