Is it OK for DUers to refer to Hillary as a Republican?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

I'm not sure what all the rules are, but it seems inappropriate to me to refer to her as a Republican.

1. Oh hell, let them do it. They have been for 6 months.

Most of us could care less what they call her. The primary is almost over and we won't have to listen to the crap anymore.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

5. LOL, agreed. It will be good when it is over.

I was just wondering... with all the posts about people getting suspended and such. I was just wondering why that is OK. I guess I don't understand how things work around here.

3. This is the Hillary Group. Delete your post then leave!

[livetohike]

9. You have your own place to demonize Hillary. Sanders'

supporters are either rude, or can't read. Which is it?

[Cha]

12. stop quacking.

[johnp3907]

16. We DEMOCRATS hear who is quacking.

Got all your ducks in a row, haven't you? The line forms on the right, doesn't it?

[artyteacher]

4. no!

Especially since she's the only democrat in the race.

[Thinkingabout]

11. Yes she is the only Democrat in the primary.

[pandr32]

22. Exactly!

Hillary Clinton is no Republican--she is the only true Democrat running for POTUS.

6. They seem to have carte blanche

to call her anything they want.

[BlueCaliDem]

25. Yeah, I've noticed that alarming trend, too. But, as they say, it's silly-season.

They can call her everything and anything they want. It's not helping Bernie, though.

[mcar]

32. It sure isn't

I do not understand the campaign strategy at all.

7. When the GE starts, many of the trolls will be blocked. I am surprised

what has been permitted based on the TOS that the site is here to support Democratic candidates.

[MelSC]

15. Exactly!

It drives me nuts

[BlueCaliDem]

26. I'd like to think so, livetohike. I'm just not confident that will be the case,

based on what I've seen so far.

[Thinkingabout]

8. Interesting they do this especially since they do not present facts.

Hillary has been a Democrat in her voting life, much longer than a year. This is like a RW talking point of Republicans calling other Republicans RINOs. What's more those accusing Hillary of being a Republican do not have the correct information of what being a Democrat or they would not distort the fact she is a Democrat. I have been a Democrat since voting age (and before also), I know what a Democrat is.

They don't have life's work pointing to their candidate showing the experience and qualifications of Hillary Clinton so they use false talking points. We are lucky to have the most qualified candidate we are backing.

10. Wow. They are getting worked up about a nominee that hasn't even been nominated.

I used to see that a lot back when I was here more often. Lots of drama about "Obama is going to _____." But then he didn't, and they would have been spinning like tops for days.

As mentioned above, it's a little crazy here right now, but it should settle down soon.
And if it wasn't the primaries, you are right, it wouldn't be allowed.

[MelSC]

13. I don't think it should be allowed...

[redstateblues]

14. It's bullshit. She was the 10th most llberal Senator in Congress

apparently not liberal enough for BSS but in step with the electorate in America

17. The Bernie-philes who call Secretary Clinton a Republican Remind Me Of

The Bernie-philes who call former Secretary of State Clinton a Republican remind me of the right-wing whack jobs who kept referring to the late Senator Kennedy and the Chappaquidick Bridge decades after it happened and the late Senator Byrd's brief membership in the KKK nearly fifty years after he quit it. I think Secretary Clinton can be excused for having outgrown the Republican Party over 40 years ago.

A message to the self-appointed Commisars of Political Purity: a lot of us Democrats are wised-up former Republicans. We deeply resent being insulted by the infantile leftists (As well as by the trolls and by the undercover right-wing Koch-roach posters) sprinkled in the ranks of the pro-Sanders faction. And I suggest you get real on another point: if Bernie Sander gets a miracle and wins the Democratic presidential nomination, you guys are going to need our votes to send Bernie to the White House.

[GusBob]

18. At present one can refer to her in just about any fashion around here

Its trendy to come up with new things.....also a challenge 'cuz the actual republicans have been smearing her for decades.

DUers are so clever when they try to out repuke the repukes....like whathisface rolling the rock up the hill.

You are allowed also to bash her husband, PBO and anyone who backs or endorses the candidate HRC

What is not allowed: calling Sen. Bernie Sanders nor his supporters anything bad or posting anything critical of them.

I hope that helps.

Note to jury: this post the opinion of a stunt driver.....do not try this at home

[Cha]

20. lol

[leftofcool]

27. LMAO

[In_The_Wind]

19. No

[Gothmog]

21. This is sad

[yallerdawg]

23. It's OK - if we get to call Sanders a DINO.

Wait a second...

[liberal N proud]

28. We all know who the life long Democrat is

And that she didn't just join the party so she could run for President.

And who doesn't bash other Democrats.

[Agschmid]

29. IMO, No.

[LannyDeVaney]

30. As I mentioned yesterday, they have reached the 'pissing ones pants' stage ...

At first I was outraged, and now I step back and realize how pathetic they look and I just laugh.

I cannot WAIT until Super Tuesday!

[George II]

31. Last night someone alerted on a nasty post that called Clinton a republican - 7-0 "LEAVE IT".

[kjones]

33. Stranger things have happened, I mean, they called Bernie a Democrat. nt

[Stuckinthebush]

34. Oh, snap!

Perfect!
