by an Obama Who? writer;
Well we have some interesting news to share this afternoon. How about the DNC using scare tactics on Superdelegates to get Obama the nomination? Donna Brazille came right out and on a talk show with Maureen Dowd if Obama does not get the nomination “there will be blood.” She is also defending the Rev. Wright by saying an attack on him is an attack on the black church. She is out there screaming that Obama has won more states, he has the popular vote (which is a lie, Hillary does including Florida and Michigan) and a bunch of other crap. This woman needs to be taken off the DNC board. She is CLEARLY BIASED and how dare her threaten people? What right does she have to incite riots by referring to Obama not winning there will “be blood?”

Just slit her throat, lock her in a car boot, and drive the car into river in West Virginia.
I am outraged! I do NOT like being threatened. I do not like being told what to do and I do not like people plotting the murder of a Presidential candidate. Last night shots were fired into the windows of Hillary’s campaign office in North Carolina and it is being investigated. (reported by Clinton volunteers working at the office via hillaryis44.com and taylormarsh.com) Two of her campaign offices have been burned down and she is trashed at every single avenue she takes. Last week one of the Pundits said that Hillary should be taken into a room by a male superdelegate and only the man should come out and this is ok?
This is the most disgusting, vile and horrific presidential election I have ever seen. The violence, the hate, the lies distortions, sexism and the free passes from the media have Americans burned out. The threats are terrible and are being turned in to the FBI for investigation. Talking about slitting the throat of a former first lady, calling her a whore and driving the car into the lake with her body? This is nothing more than deplorable. Threatening Americans that the AA people will revolt if Obama is not elected and there “will be blood” and this is coming out of the mouth of a SUPERDELEGATE and a person on the board of the DNC? For the first time in my life I am ashamed to be a democrat. I honestly thought this party stood for the people but the actions of its leaders clearly state differently.

Wow! Quite an article but it reflects the attitudes of others who do not support Obama, including me. We all have the right, in a democracy, to feel safe in supporting and voting for who we feel is best qualified without fear of intimidation or harassment. This is by far the ugliest, unfairest Presidential campaign I have ever seen. I have also been reading on the internet, and hearing, other Obama supporters, and I am sorry to say, many of them have significant anger issues and tend to be very aggressive in pushing their ideas on others. I see it around me in daily life, too and fear that if Obama ever does get into the White House, a very distrurbing thought, we are going to see more extremist views, greater use of pressure tactics, and more intense divisions among people than we have ever seen in past decades.

I totally agree Donna. This is pretty extreme here for them to be saying things like this but I am also glad it is being brought to peoples attention. It is out there in whispers on the internet all over the place but not to manuy people come right out and say it. Kudos Obama Who keep up the good work. People need to be informed.

[...] I’d love to hear how this is acceptable on any level. Yet, it’s tolerated by the Obama campaign. If you want to see more “going negative” by the Obama campaign, just look at his new fliers (pdf) that are going out in Indiana. (little picture of the front page of it is on the top of this post). Not only is this thing full of misrepresentations, but it’s most definitely negative by any definition. Mainstream, brain-dead media, are you noticing this new “negative” advertising campaign? Of course not. Obama supporters have reached depths, and it’s disgusting to think these are fellow “progressives”. I no longer consider myself a progressive if that’s what the word means to people. Even DNC rep. Donna Brazile told a talk show host this weekend that if Obama doesn’t get the nomination, “there will be blood”. That’s a new low in itself. “Donna Brazille came right out and told Michael Dowd if Obama does not get the nomination “there will be blood.” [...]

Jees! Down here in NC a statement like that can get you charged with conveying a threat and a good jail sentence. What is wrong with these IDIOTS?
