O'Malley's facebook page - anyone looked at the comments?

Everything he posts - he is getting feedback from 'right wing posters' asking about 'white lives matter' and telling him he's a 'wuss' and won't be a great leader.


You know what 'stickers' and 'buttons' those folks have? Trump and Walker. Their 'about' pages are kind of interesting.

Just sharing because there is a considerable contrast between our critical thinking skills and theirs (rather lack of).

Carry on and Happy Tuesday!

At all. And the few of us that are actual supporters that are responding to his posts? We are keeping positive!

Sooner or later some other outrage du jour on the right will pop up - but for now -

I think it's kind of funny that he's relevant enough for Republicans to get mad for him being who he is. Interesting. . .

IT is interesting that there are so many people that are willing to lie and misrepresent O'MAlley — and then say 'Well it doesn't matter, he's barely registering in the polls' or something like that.

I find that interesting.

I think O'MAlley will break out in the polls, and it will be a very interesting time.

Most important - he's attracted the ire of the right.

I think they see something rather frightening in him that the Right's "Leadership" won't admit to. They are so invested in another candidate from our side - and have invested - and they are afraid to tell their grass roots they might have miscalculated again.

But - the lost control of the grass roots a few years ago. They created that chaos. And now that chaos is identify threats to their 'way of life' -without the Koch Brothers telling them who/what those threats are.

O'Malley has attracted their ire for a reason.

And like you - I welcome the hate! Bring it!
