An open question to the mods and the GD:P forum: Are Hillary Clinton supporters still welcome here?
 Advertisements [?]The DNC decision leaves open the possibility that Clinton will take this fight to Denver. If that should happen, how are Hillary Clinton supporters going to be considered on this board? Will we be welcomed or tombstoned for supporting her? Will we be required to support Obama publicly on this board by the end of this week?

It's a tough question because there is a presumptive nominee, but there is still doubt and ambiguity until the convention is over.

Some input from the board might be helpful as well.

6. "one of the two remaining Democratic front-runners will drop out of the race"
 But what if this does not happen?

I'm not saying it won't, but what is the contingency plan if it doesn't?

4. I honestly HOPE
 That NO ONE is tomb-stoned for passionately supporting their candidate.

I think the admins are smarter than that. Or at least, I hope.

15. PM the administrators/mods with your question.

They probably will not respond to you in a public thread.

That said; read the rules. Once Obama has the nomination by the math, he will be the nominee. This forum will go away. After that, you will be expected to be supportive of the Democratic candidate.

8. I'd like to know the official word on when supporting HRC stops being kosher.

2118? The convention? November? The sticky says "when we have a presumptive nominee," but that might be a bit tricky to determine...

11. DU mods and owners will welcome you, but many DUers will not. 
 The "you're with us or forget you" crowd is in control.

14. Well, they already don't welcome me
 The routinely call me names and accuse me of racism. I'm not really talking about them: most of them have me on ignore anyway.

45. Not meaning to be flame bait about this at all.
 I've been just watching the responses to today and the anger against HRC supporters is really over the top. It's not a problem if we are still welcome, but if we're not, I'd like to avoid the tombstone.

19. considering the outrageously petulant display today at the committee
 y'all should rethink WHY you're here.
to sow division or promote unity.

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long year stolen many man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed His fate
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank when the blitzkrieg
raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah

I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for
ten decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all
it was you and me
Let me please intruduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, Saints
as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need
of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy have some sympathy
and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

[franksolich]

Damn, that's funny.

That sounds about right, and I bet you're not the only one either chick

Why can't she figure out liberals do not in fact, believe in freespeech and critical thinking????

All of the HRC supporters know the answer to their question but like all DUmmies the truth BURNS. If Osama Obama gets the nod HRC supporters WILL fall in line or they WILL be HIS-TOR-Y. There is no other choice for $kimmer and his crew of evil minions.Let the carving of tombstones begin....
