Charley, that people here chose to make a mountain over a news story I commented upon but they didn't like hearing about, doesn't mean I am responsible for their behavior. It is their choice how to respond to my starting the thread, not mine.<<
Its your choice to ridicule and attack people. No one is holding a gun to your head and saying "be an ass."
>>I still maintain the Florida delegation being seated is both newsworthy and good news for Clinton. << You refuse to say how it is good news for Clinton. You refuse to do this because you cannot.
>>If people disagree with it, that's fine. But to say there was never any news reports of the meeting between Dean and FL party leaders--what would you call that? << I would call that pretty bad, But I didn't say that and if someone else did I missed it.
>>Saying that "Obama would still be ahead" is factually wrong.<< You can't you do basic math? If they count every Florida vote Hillary nets 38 delegates. Obama is ahead by at least 110 delegates.
110 minus 38 equals 72.
He would be ahead by seventy two votes.
>>So, what would you say about the posters who claimed that?<<
He might say that they can do math and that you cannot.
>>As to your remark that I am "playing" you--perhaps that is how Obama's supporters see it. However, in the political threads in a presidential election year, it is a pretty lame claim to say that starting a new thread based upon a news story of the day is trolling. That can only mean that EVERYONE starting such threads is trolling.
I don't necessarily disagree with that statement, especially as I look down the list of current BS threads about the US horse race.<<
No, in the political threads the people who make things up to agitate people are the trolls.
>>As I have noted before, the Clinton supporters here aren't terribly vocal or visible in this forum. Why?
I think it is because of the way posters like Ron Davies and Jack the Sailor are behaving. Not everyone cares to be verbally assaulted for expressing their political opinions.<<
I do not think that Hillary's supporters, as few as there are very enthusiastic about her chances and few are proud of her behavior so far. But even if you think they are afraid, appointing yourself as their protector isn't doing them or Hillary any favors.
>>I hope you can see the differences, and that you aren't blinded by political loyalty to your candidate, and your opinion of your candidate.
Because otherwise, you seem like a pretty reasonable guy.<<
You can't even suck up to Charlie without being condescending and doubting his integrity.
