Clinton Supporters Show Their True Colors Today (Video Included)
In this Sam Stein article posted on Huff Post, Stein tells what it was like being surrounded by Clinton supporters.
To summarize the piece, Stein recounts statements from Clinton supporters such as:
"[Obama] is a socialist! You know what the Nazi Party was before it was the Nazi Party? It was the Socialist Party."
Also: "Would you rather have a president who had an affair [Bill Clinton] or one who was a murderer [Obama]?"
Stein also said that he had conversations with some of the supporters who showed contempt for Obama and the media. They went through a list of websites they have blacklisted, including Huff Post. When he told them he was a reporter for the Huff Post, they stopped talking to him. He went to eat he lunch, only to be serenaded by chants of "Huff Post sucks, Huff Post sucks!" Later they chanted "Fox News fair and balanced, Fox News fair and balanced.
At the bottom of the article is video of a Clinton supporter who was kicked out. If you watch the coverage, you may recognize her voice yelling about Iowa and New Hampshire. She says that Obama is "an inadequate black man."
Lovely, ain't it? Just lovely what Hillary Clinton is doing to her party.

There's a wonderful post out there about why we should all ignore campaign surrogates. I think it applies evenly well with Democratic primary supporters.

Every candidate has their share of lunatic fringe and/or ignorant supporters.

They don't represent the majority of Clinton supporters. Some of whom are rational, classy and devoted to the party.

There is an extraordinary amount of "I'll never vote for B. Hussein Obama" postings on the web. I wonder how much of it is really from Hillary people, and how much is Operation Chaos. After all, the B. Hussein construction comes straight from Ann Coulter, who accuses Hillary, and most Dems of treason. Hillary supporters can't be taking cues from her, can they? Or maybe after watching their candidate suck up to O'Reily and Rush, maybe they've become Ann fans too.
More likely its the right, trying to keep Dems from Unity. Fight Back. Hug a Hillbot today!

Just to agree with Jonze and Spade, those purported supporters of Senator Clinton who drew the attention of the cameras are those whose behavior is most outrageous and do not represent Clinton or her campaign and are not characteristic of Clinton supporters in general.
