This does NOT apply to 99% of you, however, a couple of lost souls have posted threats against Barack Obama on this blog. Be forewarned, I will turn all threats over to the Secret Service (they are investigating two at this moment). While I don’t believe Barack is qualified to be President, nothing justifies or warrants a death threat. Please play nice.
I totally agree; leave the over-the-top zombie fanatacism to the other side; they are better at it anyway.
Ed Schultz, in the final half hour of his putrid show on Air Obama Radio this afternoon, calls for Debby Wasserman-Schultz to “get fired”– “It wouldnt bother me one bit if she’s removed as Secretary of State for (garbled) Hillary Clinton..” then he affected what I guess was supposed to be Schultz’s imitation of any woman he doesn’t like- he put on a whiny voice with a lisp and said “And I supoooooooosseee……if she wants to come on my showwwwww….that would be fiiiiiinnnnne……”
Apparently Hillary Clinton’s female supporters are all whiny, lisping idiots. At least, they are in Big Eddie’s World. What a pig.
Of course, you know there is a joke in here, better left unsaid…
apparently the people who were making the threats got sick of hearing all the death threats coming from the obamabots against Hillary.
Is this why they go on and on about the RFK statement? To project what they really are up to?
To hide the truth of their intentions?
They are great at projecting what they are guilty of onto Hillary and her supporters.
If you want to know what they are up to then watch what they accuse Hill and her supporters of.
Exactly. I’ve noticed that, too.
I’m beginning to wonder that myself, my goodness, they’re are so impressed with their own feeble attempts at cleverness….
no my friend it yourself and other commentors like you who are overly impressed w/ themselves and the legitimacy of your claims.
Funny… perhaps you can explain why Hillary has changed her rationale several times… first it was the popular vote, then it was the delegates only that mattered. Now she wants some delegates from Texas unseated… but she still says “every vote counts”… even though she predicted the nomination race would be over in Feb… negating all the votes yet to even be cast.
So… which is it?
Right on.
Obama is agreeing to the rules, 1/2 the delegates (or a half vote each for all) get seated.
Seems to me Clinton is trying to be clever by demanding all, rules be damned.
that’s simply insane…that’s like the Bush administration argument that the absence of evidence of a connection between Iraq and 9/11 is simply evidence that they’re trying harder to hide the evidence…you need to come back down to earth.
Violent Obamabots should also be careful. Remember the one Obamabot who mentioned a pitchfork when he discussed Hillary Clinton?
Obamabots should refrain from issuing death threats against Clinton.

“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.
Hillary is batshit, Liebercrat crazy.
Fuck her with a pitchfork.

Yes, I saw that pitchfork comment and I have been “haunted” by it for a week now.
Thanks, victim.of.violence.of.obama.supporters for raising the issue about Hillary’s safety.
Larry is right - there is no reason not to “play nice.” Logical critiques and dismissive words are one thing, but violent threats are a whole other ball of wax.
I strongly suspect some of those threats may be coming from Obama supporters in an attempt to make this site look bad. But the point is well taken. Threats of violence have no place on this site, or anywhere else on the Internet.
That’d be pretty damn stupid because the U.S. government has its means of finding them.
(Having had to handle some of those comments, I can tell you that it made me shake all over, as well as feel incredibly saddened that there are people who are capable of saying and thinking such terrible things that I will never repeat them here.)
I can imagine what you must read in the course of your job…we sure have some “loose cannons” out there…I am glad this crap is being turned over to the FBI….get the crazy hoots!
Thanks for all the wonderful reporting today and everyday Sue and Larry….No Quarters is truly a safe haven and we can come here without of the bullshit we have to listen to over at DD….I stopped going there because I don’t enjoy playing with a bunch of kids…they really bring nothing to the table…I have said for so long, if you don’t fight with them, they’ll go away….JMO
thanks again for all the great work…
“Pretty damn stupid” describes at least some of the Obama supporters.
Having been required to do some computer forensics I get what you are talking about SusanUnPC. Having a “close encounter of the word kind” and knowing there is some very real and evil sub human life forms is not fun.
There were about 20,000 links in the wake of Mr. Johnson’s story about Michelle Obama’s challenged speech pathology. Even 30 pages deep, the comments on some of these are very much from the dark side.
The force is strong with NQ.
My thoughts EXACTLY. Obama’s people have tried to cause problems for Hillary supporters before. If there is a problem at the protest tomorrow it will be caused by Obama’s people.
“I strongly suspect some of those threats may be coming from Obama supporters in an attempt to make this site look bad.”
..too late.
Aren’t you clever and smug. You should probably last here another hour or so.
They appear on AOL on the PM election blogs. So far they are just aimed at anyone who is not in favor of Obama. But they remain on, undeleted and the bloger is not called out on it.
Larry, i whole heartedly agree. although there are many that feel strongly that Barrack Obama is not at this time qualified to be POTUS (and some who likely believe he will never be qualified), we all should refrain from waging threats against Obama, his family, and supporters. Indeed, these types of comments reflect poorly on our collective effort to convey our disapproval of the candidate AND our effort to support Senator Clinton. Lets stick to highlighting the weakness of his candidacy (and there are many), while highlighting the strengths of Senator Clinton.
Too late. These comments and those from places such as H44 and taylormarsh have been re-posted all over the web, and your hatred is too well documented to back away from it now. The only reason Larry is even posting this is because *he* has already been contacted by Feds regarding the threats posted on *his* site. Bet he won’t be waving his fake “whitey video” story anymore, will you Larry?
and you know this because! in you fantasies in imagine.
fake “whitey video”….
Regardless, it won’t be Mr. Johnson saying it, now will it?
You are under the false impression that Mr. Johnson commented about this as a CYA? Grow up.
As for your name sake;
Thomas Jefferson
Super Duper. I have hundreds of messages from pig sites like mybarkyobama and kos that I am just dying to post. How about the one about slitting Hillary’s throat and tossing her in a kentucky river? Take your shit someplace else, we owe you thousands of things before we even BEGIN to catch up to you.
What are you precisely trying to accomplish here?
Go back to Obama and tell him sending paid trolls to be sanctimonious xxxxx doesn’t help a bit.
Beat it punk.
Im gina too! and I agree with this Gina!
Larry
this is what some people to do . its hard to tell who they support -OBAMA or HATE .
BUT THATS WHAT THEY DO ,THEY DO THAT ON ALL PRO-HILL SITES , they involve u in talk and take it to bad level of talk ,,and then they post ur angry comments everywhere making hill supp look bad .
BUT THANKS –AT LEAST U R GIVING A WARNING ,,, unlike obama,s site –they were drowning hill and no one stopped them ,,
keep ur honest work .
I will not engage them or discuss anything. I have no proof if they are Americans. I won’t do it.
They employ “operation agitate”. I’m not available for comment to them.
Delurking again (I seem to be doing that too often lately) to advise that I’m very glad you’ve set down the limits. While most commenters were very respectful, there were some that were downright threatening. It’s a bonus for you to make it clear you will not tolerate that nonsense. If people cannot exhibit self control, even on the supposedly “free” internet, then they need someone to put the brakes on. I’ve been working in Telecom for 40 years. I wonder if these people realize that they are not truly anonymous, that they can be tracked and that their verbal diahhrea can get them into really deep trouble?
Back to lurking.
Quit showing up and dissapearing like “thing”
and post more often HT. 40 years of experience in any field is of value and can be learned from.
LOL….Thing was my favorite but grew out of that by the age of 8 then I moved onto Lurch and Cousin It…..
So true! When it comes to posting on the internet, the posts never go away. It’s like standing on a street corner and yelling at the top of your voice, with everyone recording your words.
Amazing how people think they are anonymous and can’t be tracked down, when your computer has it’s own IP address AKA individual name.
How on earth do people think it’s all kept straight? Perhaps they think it’s magic or something.:-D
Hillary supporter’s are not like Obama’s peeps.
Except…
Have you seen the latest ‘Young Hillary Clinton’ video?
We need a video showing how ‘young’ Obama so easily strolled into his IL seat…with so little experience.
We know the Republicans will work on such a video!
Anyone know the video maker’s?
The threats surely weren’t serious since the Nation of Islam - especially Farrakhan is in love with BO!
Please demand that BO release his birth certificate, when he was confirmed at TUCC, his and Michelle’s passport records and medical records - not some stupid summary.
I want to see his birth certificate too. I want to make certain he is human for one thing. Then I want to know if he was born from a dog like Damien in The Omen.
Interesting, do you see signs of the Anti Christ in him too?
It’s just the pepperoni pizza talking, Pagan Power.
pro-Hillary AND anti-obama. is there even a difference at this point?
hope the secret service are on it re: any death threats.
i’m thinking they have come over from the obamacamp to bring discredit to this site, the Hillary supporters, and the refusal here to accept obambi as prez.
ever.
Agreed. Obama bloggers who may not be Americans are great at posing and pretending to be someone they are not. They like to tarnish the Hillary supporters by any means necessary. Americans know this is not something you do..threaten people in government.
Maybe it was one of the many Canadian Obama bloggers.
They need to mind their own business and stop butting into our election process.
We all have experiences with the Obama bloggers. We don’t want any of that nonsense here. My feeling is that when people get carried away, they should be warned and then removed. This is far too serious now to be stupid. People who cannot control their impulses need to walk away from the computer. I know that I can be as bad as the next guy, but that is no reason for hate turning into threats.
Comments/threats like that are despicable.
While I do not or will not support Obama, I wish him no harm.
I agree
agree, except do wish him the agony of defeat (old sports phrase….from old me). then hillary can have the thrill of victory in 2012.
hillary or mccain. no other option.
The only harm I wish on him is that he grow a conscience. That will be mighty painful for him.
Good…Now lets see some of those Anti-Hillary Obamaphiles get prosecuted for the threats they made against her life. Will anything come of it? I sure damn hope so!
As for making threats against Obama. Only a fool would do such a thing.
1.) No-one in their right mind would spout that bullpoop!
2.) The Gov is watching and they WILL find you.
3.) Although I don’t like the “Man”, I don’t wish harm to come to him. He has a family and that would devastate those who love him not only cause a backlash we don’t need. Wishing harm on someone is an indicator that you are truly off your meds!
4.) I suspect it is those Obamaphiles that do such a thing so as many of you said, they can run back to their “Masters” and say..”SEE THEY WANT HARM TO COME TO HIM”! don’t fall for that trick.
Besides…karma is a motherf*****!
Let’s see the Hillary-bashing sites follow suit and come down on people who make pitchfork threats, etc.
I know. That will be the day…because in their logic Hillary’s a MONSTER and Monsters “deserve” violent attacks.
I agree no need for threats. Negative energy brings negative energy.
check out this story on obama’s use of chicago politics in texas.

amazing! as an update, today richie and his wife endorsed obama.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hY742M_s1ttD_ycf2Zusn1o1fD3QD90VV5U00
obama got two more supers the easy way….he bought them.
larry, you may want to look into this…it stinks!
Re: reporting death threats to the Secret Service - that is as it should be. I want Obama to be unemployed. That will be sufficient.
Absolutely my feelings, jwrjr.
I don’t hate Obama or his family, I just think he’d be a crappy president, and I have a total distrust for his circle of advisors and friends. And his vocal supporters have turned me so far away from him. Had they been decent and even civil, I would not have such an aversion to Obama.
I don’t ever wish harm on anyone… Politics is just a difference of opinion, imho. And the most popular opinion seems to be the winner of the day when all is said and done.
Gee, one hopes that pro Obama trolls wouldn’t show up here and make Obama death threats attempting to discredit this blog as being populated by a bunch of violent lunatic Hillary supporters. One hopes
Great for taking a very very clear stance on this, Larry. There is no place for those kinds of comments. On Jake Tapper’s blog yesterday, there was one particularly vile Obama poster that stated that the “retard hillary supporters should be shot!” I believe his posts were deleted, eventually. I have yet to see a true Hillary-supporter utter anything even close to that.
However, any time there is a place for discussion against a candidate, it brings the fringies out of the woodwork who feel it’s okay to express their hatred. There is also that element of Obama supporters who do that to make Hillary supporters look bad. Either way, ony a complete moron would think that the internet is anonymous.
There are days when I think the internet is a gift… other days? A total curse.
I realized once that someone I had wondered about on a different blog site was posting from a mental ward. He had a set time he could go on-line. He shared some rather interesting tales with me that strayed into the bizarre and paranoid regions. As time went on, he shared he’d been diagnosed with multiple personalities. (I had picked up on that.)
But I think usually it’s a case of mental illness at work.
My former newphew used to write threatening letters to the president. They checked him out. He was really quite harmless, so I think they just let him continue with his little “hobby.” He had an accident which left him severely handicapped mentally.
I was told by someone on another site that they were going to track me down. That type of direct personal threat is scary. I ignored it, but I probably shouldn’t have.
I tend to think most of that stuff is just hot air, but then I can be a bit dense sometimes and too trusting.
I figure if they want to track me down, they’re welcome to it.
I’ll fight.
I won’t be intimidated.
And from what I’ve seen, they are very stupid.
Larry,
You seemed like a reasonable guy on the Plame issue. Did you forward these death threats to the secret service?
Larry, you’re a good American citizen. I wonder how many of the owners of pro-Obama blogs would put out such a warning against threats to Hillary.
Sadly, very few.
The big sippy cup blog that shall not be named actually sent banning warnings to Hill supporters who pointed out threats being made against her. So not only did they not warn those making the threats, they in effect supported it by stifling any complaint about it.
I completely agree with you Larry. Threats like that are inexcusable and have no place among democratic Americans like us (the TRUE Democrats).
Lou Dobbs is on his way to DC to report the news of the FL & MI convention meeting.
Until then. enjoy your day.
There are Obamabots and there are Hillarybots. They both suck.
I support Obama more or less, but I’m not a follower. I used to think most of Hillary’s supporters just had a different opinion from me, but over the past couple of months I’ve seen that many of them are mean spirited, bigoted, batshit crazy. Whether that’s most of them, or just some of them, I have no way of telling, and I don’t really care.
In any case, I was never going to vote for Hillary anyway, but I’m still civil enough to give others the benefit of the doubt as far as their opinions are concerned, and that’s all I ask from others as well.
Gee, you noticed us getting a little mean spirited? THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS???!!!! Look here, Sparky, most of us got chased off of places like KOS, Americablog, Huffington Post about December. Hell, and I was a Clark supporter with no chance in hell of my candidate even running and I got called a racist bitch after I asked folks over at KOS for ‘No Dem on Dem Violence’. AND THEN!!! I went to my caucus and had to stop little snotnosed Obamabits from harassing and belittling little old ladies. I stopped posting over at my favorite blog, C&L, aftr punks and thugs took them over after being there for damned near 4 years. AND YOU WONDER WHY WE’RE A TAD BIT FUCKING PISSED? DON’T EVEN GO THERE, LITTLE ONE. I’M IN NO MOOD. You guys started this, now eat your wormwood like a good little lad and let the grown ups talk.
Woohoo, Strawberry! That was an awesome rant.
So, two wrongs make it right. At least you are honest.
Well said. I gave up on a bunch of former favorites for the same reasons. Bunch of arrogant bullies ruined the places.
I really doubt your benefit of the doubt.
All Obama supporters are Obamabots, for you do not even know why you support your candidate.
I wonder if the secret service finds the people who make death threats boring?
I mean, even reading some of the people who post, hatefully, gets pretty dull, their minds don’t exactly sparkle with creative ingenuity, I would imagine it gets DULL, after a while.
Look at the trolls, here, and the silly attempts to feed a “civil” war, or the silly Alinsky tropes…
DULL.
No one can tell, no one can see you.
Really.
You trolls are genius.
Really, I mean that, genius.
/snark…
Good on you, Larry.
Larry,
In one comment after the “Demos Defecting” post, I said I thought the Democrats had a death wish, but I was talking about the death of the Democratic Party. And that my husband and I were leaving it. I said they’ve been warned (about some of us bolting the party). I hope that wasn’t misconstrued!
But, thank you for your caveat! I’ll choose my words more wisely!
I hate to sound full of ‘doom and gloom’, but this is
nothing compared to what is to come.
The backlash caused by Wright and this priest is going to be something I really fear. These two idiots
have set racial relations back at least 30 years.
I try not to think about it, but it is coming.
IT IS ALL SO VERY SAD.
Quite sad, but true.
Everyone. PLEASE don’t feed the trolls. I know it’s so tempting, but it just diverts our energies into ugly post back and forths, and as far as I can see, not a single one of those has done any good.
They are showing up en-masse everywhere. Let’s not feed them by responding to their inciting messages. They will never be convinced, nor do they come here to do so. Please do not respond to them, and let them rest in peace in OUR space.
I saw the same thing happening on Kos and now MYDD. People get lured into so-called “conversations” which aren’t conversations at all.
Let’s get back to work where it counts: focussing on Hillary and her win.
It is amazing how the Obamabots seems to be infecting all pro Hillary sites, they have wrecked Taylor Marsh site, ABC Political Punch, Democratic Underground, now on to this site.
For persons that love to protest that this thing is over Obama is the nominee you would think they would of been trying to heal the gap and encouraging others to see Obama in a different light, but guess not.
If Obama is the nominee and he loses the GE I hope they will all be willing to carry part of the blame, because there are going to be some very pissed democrats out there after waiting 8 years to capture the WH, getting so close to the best chance in years of getting it and then putting Obama only to have a defeat, its going to be a hard pill to swallow for some.
Dean, Nancy and that group will have to really explain what happened there, it would be fun watching them squirm, MSNBC, CNN, ABC what a fun time its going to be.
Despite that, though, the trolls are still losing.
I dont see sites such as DK**, or even MY DD, as relevant, do you?
So, it matters, but it doesn’t.
Larry’s traffic is up, I’m glad, I hope he makes a mint and continues to be successful, but perhaps it’s less a “take over” than it is evolution, you know?
And the trolls dont seem to be able to think past the template of carpeting a site, you know, like the US army in Iraq, with shock and awe, or in the republican, and now, Obama case, stealing political office, but then what?
They can’t capitalize, or manage, so it’s nothing more than a minor infection, body can handle it, without drugs.
They “invade” and fade, some really poor minds.
Period.
And then I wonder who is really being trolled, us, or them?
There was a time when I didn’t pay attention to politics. I thought it really didn’t affect me at all.
Then, in 2003, after recognizing that Bush was the worst of the worst, I heard Wesley Clark on CNN, and my political life changed. I began to read, listen and watch intensely, and now, in 2008, after spending thousands of hours watching and learning, I wish I could go back to my “time of innocence”.
I don’t know if all I have learned since then (I’m 56) has really done me much good. It’s taught me that power players rule us, and that the process is far more corrupt than I ever could have imagined.
Before I started watching, I really thought that all people basically wanted to do good. And perhaps that is still the case. But our system does not appear to allow anyone with true integrity to rise to the top any more.
I am heartbroken, and fighting the dirty fights that apparently need to be fought (for what? Something different?) are killing my spirit.
I need to get back to the current day, the bird songs outside my window, the winds blowing gently or hard, the colors of trees, landscapes, and waters.
Without them I will continue to turn into another bitter political person, without planetary perspective, and I can’t let that happen to me, as it would sap my true strength and beliefs.
I’m afraid I’m not cut out for these hard-core fights that dismiss the core principles of democracy, human rights, environmental sustenance, and so on.
Just had to say that. I wish I could go back to the time before the Bush election, when I though we all were trying to do good.
And I know that can never happen, but I CAN choose what I pay attention to, and perhaps I should start paying attention to the great things around us that are here still, and point them out.
I hope these were actual threats and not something taken out of context or misunderstood. We all know that Hillary’s RFK comment was put out there as her wishing for the worst. I don’t believe anyone should be threatening Obama, I believe those comments should be removed, But I think that as long as there are websites that are called Hillary Death Watch, I will not be policing rightful angry Clinton supporters. I do not want to censor myself when I am commenting out of fear I will be misunderstood so I probably won’t comment on here anymore.
I have “declared war on obama” on here (just like Lou) and don’t want that misstaken as a death threat. I hope you post what you are speaking of and Go after the Obama supporters who threaten Sen. Clinton.
I must say that I am STUNNED that death threats are being issued from this site! With everything that has been in the press of late, to think that a left leaning site actually inspires death threats against a fellow Democrat is not merely horrific, but it is unacceptable!
What on earth has gotten into everyone? WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE, REMEMBER??? We are just FOR a different candidate within the same party.
What is it going to take to make that point known? And why on earth is that FACT not being unreinforced here and other places where this goes on right now?
What has happened to the left? This is simply disgraceful and shameful!
The ability to soldier on despite complete and utter failure is remarkable.
To my fellow Hillary supporters, plz just remember…Obama’s supporters are largely your average college students caught up in hope and change while getting drunk and doing drugs. We all know where their heads are after all, we’ve had an alcoholic, coke snorting average college student in the White House for the last 7 years! They want change, but they are supporting the exact same disaster we have in G.W.Bush just in a “New and Improved” wrapper. Seriously, someone really needs to do a side by side comparison of GW and Obamessiah and see just how similar they are other than party and skin color. Though I still have to wonder…when Obama admitted to doing coke, was it just coke or was it really crack cocaine.
I take issue with your slovenly and denigrating profile of the average Obama supporter. Perhaps you need to realize that your idea of who supports this man is far different than what is going on within your own mind. There is a huge diverse cross section of the populous who finds Obama to be the candidate they think would be best for the United States as President.
PLEASE, can’t you just NOT like Obama instead of denigrating his supporters?
Remember, we are supposed to be on the same side and snide comments like you made only make matters worse.
He’s corrupt, there is no middle ground.
YOU may want to commit suicide by voting for this POS, but the rest of us are healthy, healthy enough to walk away from this mess of a candidate, and the morons who support him.
You really don’t get it, do you?
Wow.
I DON’T get why you insist on denigrating Obama supporters when it is the candidate with whom you have an issue. I don’t understand why you seemingly want to ravage the Democratic party when in doing so you will help the Republicans win and IF that happens, the common threads that hold the democrats together will be demolished.
Do you not care about Roe V Wade, the Justice System, The economy, the WAR(s) and so much more that is at stake here? We will have at least 2 more Supreme Court Justices that will need to be appointed and IF the Democrats are not in office, we will be set back at least 30-40 years!
THAT is what what I don’t “get”!
I’m afraid we don’t care much about Roe v. Wade, anyone worried about that should have supported the Female Presidential Candidate …and the past 4 years were the years to worry about Supreme Court Justices.
One of the wire service headlines this morning stated that more Americans trust McCain on the Economy than Obama.
Comment by HillaryMadamePresident | 2008-05-30 20:34:52
———————————————-
Wait, you DON”T care about Roe V Wade??? A woman doesn’t care about NOT having the right to CHOOSE? I find that horrifyingly crazy that issue doesn’t hold any value for you. And since when does it matter which candidate you prefer if they are both pro choice? If Hillary was the nominee I would vote for her and I don’t denigrate you nor other of her supporters because you don’t agree with my preference in candidates.
As far as the last 4 years as being the time to worry about Supreme Court Justices, yes they were and I fought hard and long to get the Democrat nominated to make sure that Bush and his ilk didn’t muck it up any more than they had already. AND might I add that the next 4 years WILL BE CRUCIAL as another 2 will need to be replaced…what happens then IF the Republican gets into office?
Is that really what you want?
I didn’t denigrate you. I stated my opinion, just as you stated your opinion. We are at an impasse, no?
I never said YOU denigrated ME, I was talking about the bigger issue here of the split within the party. Just look at many of the other comments here and you will find all kinds of smears against people just because they didn’t vote for who you voted for. It simply just doesn’t make sense to me…
I felt the same way at Huffington Post. Try saying something positive about Hillary there and you will know the true meaning of being denigrated by people who don’t agree with you…which is why it’s best to find your niche of a blog and stick with it.
And that is all he needed as the last Democratic President said, “It is the economy stupid!”
I really hope he comes to terms with his interpersonal demons and starts sounding like Scott.
Time to face the music BO.
Obama sings a verse of “Papa was a Rolling Stone”
