Anti-Obama hysteria: Obama, abuser of women

Attacks and anti-Obama hysterics aren’t confined to people on the right. There are plenty of lunatic fringe on the left who pile on as well, like Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy. Here’s a brief excerpt from her rather long diatribe:

… seeing these articles and photographs of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama together, him with his hand on her back, just makes me cringe. Frankly, it makes me almost physically ill. See, I have done a lot of work in the Domestic Violence movement. And I have seen this cycle before: the man abuses, attacks, and lashes out at the woman. The woman makes excuses for, and accepts blame from, the man for his attacks. Not unlike Senator Clinton saying now that they are friends, respect each other, and support each other. I know what respect looks and feels like - Senator Obama has shown NONE for Senator Clinton. Senator McCain has, but Obama? No. Seeing these photos of her with him now reminds me of battered women wearing sunglasses to hide the bruises, and saying, “Oh, he didn’t really mean it. It was my fault, really, I shouldn’t have made him mad. He really does love me, in his own way, really! Don’t be mad at him!” Not only did Obama make sexist remarks about Senator Clinton, INCLUDING at the fundraiser the other night, but he reaped the benefit of the sexist and misogynistic remarks made by others, the veiled death threats (talking to YOU, Keith), the threats of violence, the degradation, not on her record, or on her speeches, but because she was a woman.

Keep in mind that this is a left-wing website. The hysterics get even better in the comment section:

Obama looks like a sleazy dope-pusher especially with his stuttering and half-closed eyes. He is a misogynist coke-snortin’ fist-pumping Chicago sleazebag, and it shows!

Hey, Obamatron, tell your obamabots to go sell crazy somewhere else.
Your Manchurian Candidate is a coke-snortin’ sleazebag gangstah from Chicago who’s in the habit of woman-bashing and stealing elections.

Yes, Barack WOULD believe in honor killings.

Wesley Clark’s comments were DISGRACEFUL, but you will agree, rather Obama-like. It’s as if the man was hypnotized by this sleazebag from Chicago’s circle of corruption! I feel he should be careful and Obama should APOOLOGIZE for making this honourable man(Wesley) say comments that obviously slander Obama’s Axelord Campaign (dirty) tactics than anyone else!

(A quick aside: Does anyone else see the irony in Hillary Clinton supporters bashing Barack Obama for being an abuser and hater of women when her husband wasn’t necessarily known for his great respect of women?) The comments keep rolling on…

I keep telling everyone that what happened to Hillary Clinton and all women this primary was a VIOLENT ACT.

I could not watch Hillary with Obarf at Unity, it would make me too sick, I was subjected to some photo’s and was ill. The abuser and the abused. Disgusting!

Some of it just doesn’t make any sense:

Hey, OBAMATRON/OBAMABOY

GET THE HELL OUTTA OF THIS. YOU’RE A FASCIST SHARIA LAW ADVOCATE WHO’D FIT WELL IN THE KENYAN PARLIAMENT WITH ODINGA, YOUR SWEETIE’S COUSIN WHOSE GANGS RAPED THOUSANDS AND LEFT HOMELESS HALF THE COUNTRY AFTER ODINGA’S REBELLION CAUSE HE DIDN’T WIN THE VOTE! NOW ODIGNA IS PRES. OF KENYA AND PERHAPS YOU’D CARE TO ACCOMPANY YOUR SWEETIE TO THE CAPITAL AND START A DEVELOPING PROJECT. ODINGA MADE BILLIONS. AND I’D PAY A FEW TO GET RID OF VERMIN LIKE YOU! SHITHEAD, and WRITE TO FAMILY COURT WHEN YOU MAKE A PAYMETN MAYBE YOU CAN SEE YOUR KIDS AT THE SHELTER!

The vitriole among the Clinton base of the Democratic Party is one of the many reasons I would never be a Democrat. They eat their own! They will vote for their party’s opponent out of spite even if it means their own values, policy positions and rights might suffer greatly in the process. The hysteria among the Clintonites is as bad or worse than many of the diehard right-wingers.

If the right-wing and left-wing extremists are so hateful (and scared?) of Obama, perhaps everyone not on the lunatic fringes should give him a closer look.
