TODAY IS THE DAY that I will not respond to negative headlined threads and elevate them.

[FrenchieCat]

If you feel like today was a great day for all Americans, regardless of our political views, please join me. Let the negativity sink down to where it belongs.

If there are some Americans who do not agree that we must get past our differences in a positive and uplifting way, than at least, let us try and not encourage that sentiment to keep floating to the top as though it is a prevailing sentiment.

We do not need to defend Barack Obama, because he has already spoken for himself.

Instead, we must ask ourselves how can we make the difference in the smaller scheme of things?
That is, what is it that we each can do to deliver a different tone to the conversation?

The one small thing that we can do, is to not encourage the cynics who want us to continue to be at each other's throats. They can do what they want, but we are of a larger number, and we don't have to argue with them on this day just because they don't quite get the meaning of progress and why it should be important not only to our children, but to all of us, especially Democrats.....to move beyond rationalizing why division should be encouraged.

So again, please join me in solidarity on this day...because this is our time, not theirs. :patriot:

[OhioBlue]

1. you're right Frenchie.

This is our day. I am so proud to have watched such an incredible and historic speech.

[FrenchieCat]

8. I look at this forum with shame.......

and realize that the 10% who don't give a shit are here in force.

But I don't care......because I will not respond to the scorn.

[bunnies]

109. I just logged on for the first time today...

and have been sitting here shaking my head. Im using the hide thread liberally this evening. They dont get to ruin this day. I'm with you.

[niceypoo]

120. Hmmmm, usually you are right up to your neck in it...

Lemme guess, you are turning over a new leaf and from this moment on you will stop endlessly ranting about Hillary and begin talking about Obama's POLICY POSITIONS?

I will believe it when I see it...

:rofl:

[racaulk]

157. Agreed.

I think FrenchieCat made a wonderful statement in this OP, and I agree with her that we should reconcile and stop perpetuating the negativity within our ranks and on this board.

However, she certainly has done her fair share of adding to the vitriol in this forum over the last several months. I believe her sentiment in this particular OP to be sincere, but one good OP doesn't negate all the negative ones.

[Megahurtz]

2. YES WE CAN!!!

[FrenchieCat]

10. That's it!

the cynics' voices will get louder and louder......Obama stated in his speech in Iowa. and so, yes, they will.....but they can't keep millions of voices down.

[VolcanoJen]

65. "They will only grow louder and more dissonant"

I'm with you, Frenchie, and what a great idea! I'm not kicking a single one of these bitter, nasty threads up the DU chain today.

I feel better already!!!!

[libnnc]

3. Historic. Groundbreaking. Utterly breathtaking address.

We've witnessed a large bit of history today.

WE all need him in the White House.

Those who are descendants of slaves and indentured servants and those of us who are descendants of slave owners or men who made a living trading and transporting human cargo into bondage...WE ALL NEED BARACK OBAMA as Commander in Chief of these United States.

It is time.

[FrenchieCat]

13. We are witnessing and participating in history......

although there are some who won't realize that till the books have been written. But maybe then, they will understand that they lacked the insightfulness needed to heal our country....and maybe from that, they will grow.

[calimary]

35. No kidding. He would have closed the deal for me even if I weren't already favorably

predisposed toward him.

A LANDMARK speech. MOMENTOUS. HISTORIC. He just hit it straight out of the ballpark. We HAVE TO confront these things he talked about. WE HAVE TO GROW UP AS A NATION.

Interesting to me, too, is this feeling I've gotten since watching the speech - everybody here and on camera and on radio and in print who returns to whining and yammering about isolated farts out of Pastor Wright's mouth is suddenly rendered SO YESTERDAY. So small. So piss-ant. So past-tense. So pathetic. So obsolete.

SO COMPLETELY AND LAUGHABLY YESTERDAY.

[FrenchieCat]

52. Aye!

And we can let the cynics speak for themselves without our assistance.

[FrenchieCat]

4. I humbly ask that

that if you are joining me in spirit and sentiment that you should please state "Aye" as a comment, and allow this thread to remain where it should, for this day, at this time....floating up with hopes that we can somehow start the process of reconciliation....

Thank you.

[Voice for Peace]

68. Aye aye!

Glad to k&r.

[akbacchus_BC]

98. Aye. I support you 100% for not replying to negative threads ...

I've seen some vile comments in the positive threads and I wish Senator Obama's supporters will ignore the posters. It is a great day indeed. I haven't listened to the speech but cannot wait to do so later.

[tulsakatz]

103. aye!

I have supported Obama the whole time and am proud to say I still support him on this historic day!!

[indimuse]

104. mums the word..

nice thread...

[Jackpine Radical]

108. Will "Ak, Ja!" work?

[niceypoo]

124. So, can we talk about Obama's policy positions now?

Which I have all but begged Obama's supporters to do for months now with no response whatsoever.

Psssssssttt!!! ...Hillary's supporters will never join those who non-stop attack them (hint, hint, hint!!)

[pauldg0]

145. Amen.................

..I think they may be all brainwashed!!!

[Double T]

5. Some things are predictable like HIGH HORSES.

Anyone need a leg up?:evilgrin:

[FrenchieCat]

15. Will all need a hand up. Do you have one to give?

[nolabels]

95. I can give you a couple

:applause: Thanks for making my day

[thevoiceofreason]

6. I gladly join in your pledge

K&R

[FrenchieCat]

27. Thank you.......it is a pledge worth fighting the reflex that many of us have

in righting a wrong sentiment as we may see it headlined on this forum.

But in the end, it doesn't give us what we should want.....unity in spirit for a better tomorrow, regardless of who we support.

This really is our time, and we need to assert in a way that doesn't allow the doubters and the naysayers the satisfaction that they have any point to make, because today....they really don't.

[surfermaw]

139. With you Voice

[ClayZ]

7. Yes We Can!

14. I added 4 more to my ignore list...

I've got 7 now, the worst of the worst...do I get in trouble for posting their handles?

[FrenchieCat]

32. Yes. and anyway, it doesn't matter because they know who they are.....

[JPZenger]

16. Need some way to have negative ratings

There should be some way that people can give a negative rating to a thread to help it sink. Too many people feel a need to post arguments against horrible posts, which only makes them more visible. It is better to let them sink into oblivion. Then, we can see which desparate people try to resusitate them, and spot the trolls.

[phrigndumass]

17. To the top of GDP you go!

18. yup, its a sunny bright day in Obamaworld. glad to be here lol

26. and I have completely confused my neighbors once again by raising my flag

[2rth2pwr]

59. Finally proud?

[better tomorrow]

64. me, too, I'm digging out my flag pin.........

[grantcart]

71. not at all just proud on days they can't quite figure out

South Carolina Primary made me proud. Saturday's Iowa County Convention. My neighbors know my unusual habit of raising the flag on unusual days. I usually get some friendly questions on the dog walking circuit. And none of the hostility your question implies.

And for the 12 years I worked in refugee camps helping to resettle refugees I was proud every day when I realized that generous Americans were bearing the burden of one of the most shameful uses of imperial power.

Proud just not on the same days your are chump.

Thanks for reminding me how beautiful our new First Lady is. I cannot wait until Jan 20th 2009 and yes my flag will be up once again.

[JimGinPA]

28. Likewise, But I Am Sifting Through The OP's Of The Levelheaded HRC Supporters...

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

30. K&R

[UALRBSofL]

31. Frenchie I do agree with your sentiment

But I posted a thread about some excerpts in Obamas memoir "Dreams from my father" because I felt they seemed to oppose what he is telling the american public and because these statements represent his ideals and beliefs. I was hoping the Obama supporters could enlighten me about Obama because I don't know very much about him.

That said, we could talk about the Clinton's all day because I have followed there life and careers ever since Bill Clinton was AG of Arkansas and because I'm originally from Arkansas.

If I am to vote for Obama in the GE I want to know more about him. I was thinking the Obama supporters that have followed his career could talk more about the issues I brought up in my post that were in his memoir. But, it seems the only response I got was negative posts.

[FrenchieCat]

36. You should do as you see fit........as I am encouraging those who want positivity on this day

You will decide for yourself what it is that you want to talk about. Because you, just like others have that choice.

[tishaLA]

48. I thought I answered your question on that thread

and I didn't do it in a negative way. WTF?

[Voice for Peace]

I'd be happy to have that discussion with you, if you want to pm me.

I didn't see your post so I don't know what points you were bringing up.

[cbayer]

33. It is indeed a wonderful day.

Here's to solidarity and rising above it all.

[Greyskye]

34. I stand with you

For at least today, I will not kick negative threads; no matter how tempting it is to reach through the screen in a vain attempt to lodge some sense in a misguided posters brain. :hi:

:kick: :patriot: :toast:

[FrenchieCat]

38. That's it!

37. k/R

[RiverStone]

39. Each positive post makes a difference....

Great intent there FrenchieCat and repeating to glass is half full rather than empty is the way to go. All adds the the ripples in the pond.

Over the months, I have tried advocating unity on DU expressing very much the same sentiments - many threads have sunk like a stone - some get attention. Yet like the headlines, some people find divisiveness more exciting, others just like to throw rocks at hornets nests.

What I have come to is simply asking how does this (negative) post help bring unity to DU and the party?

A few who have not been able to answer the question, have acknowledged that they will try to keep the focus more positive.

Thanks again and we appreciate your words. :hi:

[FrenchieCat]

67. The cynics will try furiously to do exactly the opposite that we would hope.....

they will keep kicking their own thread talking to each other. That, we cannot do anything about, except to let them know that they are alone in their quest.

As ANGRY as a lot of negative posts make me (be they against Obama OR Hillary), I avoid the temptation to respond to them, lest I elevate them. Let them fall to the abyss from whence they came! :grouphug:

54. I have been trying to ignore all....

Why promote something you don't like?

Hugs to all you DU strangers. :grouphug:

56. I think this is the best approach.

Just let them die out. Thanks for this post!

60. I'm with you FrenchieCat!!

I not only need to choose my battles, I need to choose my war.

[FrenchieCat]

81. We are with each other!

Keep kicking positive threads though....because the cynics will fight us for attention.

They do not want this speech to have made a difference, even though it will.

[stillcool]

93. I definitely need to take advantage...

of the Ignore feature, and count to five before I hit the "post message" button. We either help fan the flames of division and rancor, or we help expunge the fire. It's all about choices, isn't it?

[grace0418]

61. I think I have most of them on ignore these days anyway. But you are right. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

Thank you for your post-I feel so good about the future today and it is so great to see so many people feel the same. Kicked and Recommended! :) :)

66. Cheers. I'm on board. (nt)

[K Gardner]

69. Second that.. please do NOT respond to the hate-filled speech from the other side

[myrna minx]

70. It does feel like a new day!

I was just telling a friend about how I wish that we could use this divisive time to bring about a real, authentic discussion and dialog about race and gender in this country. I had faith that we were ready for some real growth and understanding, but I was growing discouraged that we were taking a turn for business as usual. This speech has restored my hope that we as a nation are mature enough to learn and grow and heal. :patriot:

[Oilwellian]

72. And another aye

Great sentiments Frenchie. :yourock:

[DemVet]

73. "NO WE CAN"T"....not with Obama, anyway. Go Hillary!!!

Face it, all Obama is good for is a sound bite. He didn't even deliver that well today, either.

[JuniperLea]

85. You could have at least supported the cause... if not the candidate...

I don't support Obama, but I'm supporting this thread. I don't support Hillary either. But I'm supporting this thread and the idea of letting the negativity die and those threads that support negativity die.

[malik flavors]

74. Here, Here! I'm too proud of this moment to bump another negative Rev. Wright thread.

[FrenchieCat]

83. Concentrate on the positive ones......

let the Cynics speak to themselves in the negative ones, or in frustration show up in the positive thread to show us who they are again and again.

Don't worry, they will come....they cannot help themselves!

[TBF]

75. Bravo, Frenchie

Agreed. There are some who will keep pushing the division because of their need to feel stronger. I'm sticking with you on this.

[FrenchieCat]

76. I have to off the board for quite a bit today.......

So, please keep this thread kicked!

Do not let it die........because we need to remind ourselves that our better angels what can make the difference!

[jgraz]

77. Oh hell, here's my response to them: IGNORED.

[SunsetDreams]

78. Cheers Frenchie!

I agree, lets let all this stuff go

[FrenchieCat]

79. The cynics are getting louder and louder.......

Can you hear them? Can you see them? Can you feel them?

Yep....me neither!

88. It's a grand day

Let this be the first of days and years to follow.

[JuniperLea]

82. K&R... this needs repeated over and over...

I've been saying this for weeks now, and I was told just this morning that fear of the world's view of our infighting or fear that McCain will use our negative discussions as fodder for his own campaign was just a device to shut down conversation... seriously... just a few moments ago.

People around here are all fired up and have no place positive to go.

It's time we began shunning the negativity and letting those threads sink to the bottom!!!

[FrenchieCat]

87. Nurture the positive threads (including this one)

because that is where we should go.

[eleny]

86. I can see how right you are

It'll help keep my blood pressure in check, too.

[11 Bravo]

89. God knows I've been holding my breath worrying about what you will or will not respond to.

If you had not made a career of posting negative and insulting threads vis-a-vis other candidates, your words might carry more weight. Suffice it to say that Barack Obama gave a magnificent speech today. This Edwards supporter was moved and uplifted by his words. But all of the Senator's elegant rhetoric and remarkable eloquence don't mask the fact that some of his supporters are assholes. And if that shoe fits, then wear it.

[Major Hogwash]

117. Edwards isn't running anymore though.

So, now what are you going to do, join us or stand outside of the circle?

We're all trying to form a circle, by joining hands, not yelling at people from the outside of the circle.

[slinkerwink]

90. Martin Luther King, Jr. would've been proud today

and so would've Coretta King, God rest her soul.

[BlueIdaho]

91. Today

I am not an Obama supporter, I am not a Clinton supporter, I am not an Edwards supporter, I am not anyone's supporter. Today I am a Democrat and I celebrate all that democrats have done to level the playing field and support human rights. The republicans done care about racial divides, glass ceilings, or any of dozens of ways of slicing and dicing America into nifty little groups that can be pitted against each other - for fear and power and money and ego. To hell with them.

Today I am a Democrat pure and simple.

99. "he has already spoken for himself."

And you think that because "he has spoken" the corporate media is just going to drop the matter?

This is just the opening salvo- a good response on Obama's part, but he or preferably some key supporter, will need to dig into McCain's own religious loonies.

If the Dems really want to win, that is.

I've been avoiding negative posts for almost a week. No need to even go there anymore.

[Lena inRI]

112. Besides "Aye," could we also say. . .

. . .what exactly Senator Obama said today that makes you say "AYE"

For me it was his:

CANDOR (yes, he heard controversial statements, but can't disown Reverend. . .disapproves of his prejudicial remarks but won't disown him because he weighs the nuances of this person)

HUMILITY ("my imperfect campaign" "trust in God and American people" to change anything, not by himself)

EMBRACING OLDER GENERATION (Rev. Wright,his white grandma, Ms Ferraro) with their prejudices in order to CHANGE for the younger generation, Obama sets a truly CHANGE OF TONE for this campaign even as the mudslinging continues to a lesser degree.

TOUGH LOVE = SENATOR OBAMA

LISTENER = SENATOR OBAMA

All garnered from his years as a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. . .I'm really feeling I have a stake in his candidacy and, if he wins, his plan for the next 8 years.

In other words, I say "AYE" to OBAMA'S HOPEFUL VISION OF CHANGE. . .

"BYE" to DECADES of BITTER DIVISIONS.

[ginnyinWI]

130. There's never a need to personally attack.

If they want to discuss differences between candidates, fine. What I hate is those who will attack someone else personally, questioning their intelligence, morals, honesty--you get the idea. We should not respond to these kinds of things. Just let them sink!

I know I don't post much (I'm a relatively newer DU-person though I've lurked for years), I have to say it's threads like these that make me feel like it's in us, collectively, to get 'it'. And if you don't, I have nothing but respect for your views and feelings. But for those of us that feel something happened today that was extraordinary and have posted in this thread with such positive light, you've made this amazing day that much better. Maybe today can really be the first tomorrow. I can't wait to find out.

146. Obama was magnificent today!

We saw a great american giving a historic speech today! I am so damn proud of Obama! He looked the sleaze merchants, the hate mongers, the divide and conquer pols of both parties in the eye and destroyed them with the beauty of his thoughts!

A party that denies its nomination to this man is a corrupt and dying party! Will the democratic party embrace her son and permit him to lead it to political power for a generation? Or will it cling to the divisive, fear ridden, class warfare model that the republican party is now riding to its doom?

What was that old Lennon saying during the Vietnam war? It went, "Peace if you want it", I believe.

Obama is offering peace, generational change, hope, a building up of the good things, a progressive majority!

IF WE WANT IT!

Please America! This may be our last and only chance to save this country from perpetual war and the total annihilation of the middle class!

[McCamy Taylor]

147. Obama talks unity. Axelrod fans the flames accusing Hillary of being a b-word.

Actions speak louder than words. Seems like the Obama campaign likes being in a state of war with the Hillary campaign. It is good for their numbers and his talk was maybe just that, talk.

Still waiting for unity at DU, where Obama supporters are saying rude things about Murtha and Edwards too.

[biglefthander]

148. nice try...

Hillary was sunk and had lost 11 straight before SHE turned negative and the "kitchen sink" attacks began. Up until then the campaign was a model of poise and manners and positivity.

Seems even this thread got invaded by the negativism and nonsense drive-by attacks.

Why, yes we can! Lovely post, thanks. :hi:

152. a resounding aye here. too FrenchieCat!

although I find myself avoiding and not replying to those kind of threads most of the time anyway. It seems like any negativity should be directed towards our real nemesis- the Republicans. Thank you for this reminder! Have a good day!

154. Aye-Excellent OP , FrenchieCat.

Let's keep this going, hopefully till we have our nominee.

Support the positive threads, the unifying messages that are so
needed at this time of division within our party.

As tempting as it is to respond to negativity,
I will do everything in my power not to.
I would love to see those threads die a quick death.

Great message and thread, FrenchieCat!
