This came from a MySpace forum tonight in which a former Edwards supporter pleads that John Edwards throws his support towards Hillary. . . .
I was a John Edwards supporter, in a major way. I just emailed him this:
As a John Edwards supporter, I know what kind of man he is and I will tell you he is honorable and decent. I wanted him to know something that happened to me today that I found very troubling. While I was emailing my Action post to different Hillary groups, I had to use the search on Facebook and MySpace, for groups.
When I search Hillary Clinton on Facebook, there are a few entries in the beginning that are for real. The rest start out being just a negative, don’t vote for her group, and go all the way up to pure filth and venom, for pages and pages.
When I do that same search for Barack Obama, I don’t see groups of hatred, slander, and filth against him. For pages, there are just groups for him.
Is that because he is so well loved, or because his following is at best, disgustingly filthy in their language; at worst, intimidating, bullying, threatening, …….. This is the caliber of people that Barack Obama is attracting. And, no one in his campaign is stepping up to the plate to say “Hey guys, I appreciate your support, but clean it up please.” To me, that tells me that they approve of this behavior.
I don’t want a guy who condones this. I want someone like John Edwards - decent and honorable. I say, No Thank You to Barack Obama. He would not be good for this country, not now, not ever.

I agree. I have noticed for several months that people who are radically attracte to Sen. Obama are angry, mean and rude.
For instance, my partner and I go to a deli for a sandwich. We are wearing our Hillary -T-Shirt and Buttons. A family at one table snears and makes faces. It becomes obvious that they are Obama people from their loud remarks. I was afraid to wear my Button for awhile and finally, I saw an elderly lady wearing one and realized that if she could I can too.

You do know that google gave his campaign thousands and that they blocked searches that are meant to be mean to him? “I hate Obama” was considered racist. That search result wont’ give you much it is filtered.
But you can google “I hate Hillary Clinton” just fine.
Google filtered the results. It’s a fact. The media is selling us a president like you sell soda pop. But he’s got all the big network heads of every news network contributing to his campaign. G.E. Owns MSNBC and others. Big contributor to Obama.
Time Warner owns CNN same thing. Big contributor to Obama.
Rupert Murdoch same thing.. and I can’t even tell you the hundreds of media outlets he is involved with.
Did you know Ron Paul is bringing a RICO lawsuit against the media. He is claiming that it’s a monopoly selling us the candidates their owners want us to like and ignoring or going “negative” on those they do not want voters to chose.
I don’t know if Ron Paul will be successful in his class action law suit but, after the bias media coverage I saw happen this time?? I hope he will at least cause the American people to begin to realize that four or five people control almost all the news you get. You Tube is owned by google…go see how many mean spirited Clinton tubes are on there compared to mean spirited ones against her.
I say Ron Paul is on to something and it’s a real shame for the American people.
Wake up America.
Thank you for this unbiased Tube and Blog!! WHEW now THIS is a breath of real change based on facts. You are the kind of thinking logical voter I am hoping we still have enough of to make a real difference. Vote for who you will but, think critically about who bought and paid for what here.
I’m voting Hillary Clinton for her experience and tenacity yes…but, also because I have a really queasy feeling that Obama was indeed “sign sealed and delivered” I am not letting them get away with this anymore.
