are attacking with ugly content free threads. Some link to others I can't see. And they have the absolute nerve to defend this "malice in the name of the "alleged front runner" about whom NO criticism is allowed however oblique it may be.Bizarre, just bizarre.

1. Yes, and it looks to be an organized effort to boot. Kind of curious isn't it, that so
many anti-Edwards OP's have popped up on one time?????

2. They're disgusting
I have seen some unfair attacks on Clinton and Obama, but nothing like this -- so many, so vacuous, and so nasty.

3. You should see
the replies to the David Sirota (Hillary Laughs at NAFTA) video I posted - Few of them were screaming "She was laughing at Perot!" Like that makes it any better and one is telling me that the youtube account for David Sirota must be an impostor account for !Gasp! all the RW talking points. It's obvious that Edwards is touching a nerve, on any given day, there are five to six pro Edwards threads on the Greatest Page, usually a pro Edwards video at the top of the front page and just looking at the trend with the DU Fund drive, she's only ahead of Dodd and Gravel. My ignore list has grown considerably.

4. Looks like they are probably trying to set a trap
for me. Trying to get one of us Tombstone in frustration. I'm hanging back and not taking their bait today. Looks like my strategy is frustrating them.

In the Ireland thread I wanted to say: "The irony, the Clinton campaign reminds me of an Irish Wake, all her supporters are so festive while their candidate is DOA." I think that would of set their venom off even more.

5. Be careful on that -
Draft Mario Coumo got tombstoned that way - I thought I heard MalloyLiberal got the big T but that was I guess a rumor. It sucks, because it appears they are using Straw Man techniques and it is frustrating.

6. I'm ignoring all of the anti-Edwards thread rats tonight by sticking
my fingers in my ears, and pencils in my nose.

It's pavlovian....I'm training myself to ignore them.

7. Bless you - I just sometimes
want to scream and write nasty stuff back but dang, who wants to kick crap? The latest one about loyalty really took home a prize for reaching. Methinks a big nerve has been struck, and they know Edwards is her real competition. :hi:

9. That Edwards has no
loyalty to the Dem party because apparently he won't back Clinton......The OP was pretty vague and them preceded to spin it some more. Someone did question the accurateness of it, and that Edwards did answer Yes at the Debate but of course it went ignored. Sigh.

10. Let's take one day at a time.. I would like to offer a Monday challenge and it goes like this
Edited on Mon Nov-19-07 08:37 AM by Ninga
"I pledge to not get involved with any anti-Edwards thread rat. I refuse to answer, comment, try to reason with, educate, provide a link, or any other such form of civilized communication. This pledge expires Monday, 11/19 at midnight"

I would like to see today's anti-Edwards thread rats, only talk to each other while they are trying to drum up reactions from Edwards supporters. I want to see them fail at starting a flame war.

Hey! Any takers???

:donut:

12. If John had said yes, he would endorse Clinton, the headline would have been
"Edwards pessimistic about chances, endorses Clinton." If I were him I wouldn't have answered it either.
