You know, I like Hillary but her supporters are way too brutal

[ericgtr]

All in all I am realizing that she's not a bad person and her and Obama are very close on the issues. However, her supporters are like vicious pitbulls and go for the jugular on every little issue that comes around. I feel like I am way more turned off by her supporters than I am by her at this point.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

1. You Think WE'RE Bad, Wait Till Ya Get A Load Of The Obama Supporters.

:rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

4. I believe that many Obama supporters are treated way more harshly than is

deserved....like me for instance.


I have a thick skin, but I personally get attacked for what I say about public political figures on a political board (like Hillary), and I'm not sure that debate is meant to be about attacking forum members, as much as discussing the issue of contention.

But from what I hear, I'm like one of the worse! :eyes:

[MonkeyFunk]

12. You're the Proud2bMurkin

of your camp.

[Umbram]

21. I'm jealous :( (nt)

[JI7]

27. there is no comparison to Frenchie and Proud2bMurkin

Frenchie talks about actual issues and debates and provides information for her positions.

[MonkeyFunk]

31. Yes, I'm aware that some people believe that

from my perspective, she's on a one-woman crusade to post every lie, smear and cheap innuendo about Clinton she can find. Funny how perspective works, huh?

[FrenchieCat]

51. what's odd, as I can find you saying this about me in a lot of places......

in that you appear to like getting personal with me, but you never bother to post any evidence in where I personally attack DUers in the same way as you choose to do.

I may be a smart ass....but According to DU rules, there are no rules against debating the merits of a political candidate, in particular during primaries....but there are rules about DUers attacking other DUers, which is something I try to stay away from, rather than embrace, as I so often see you do.

That you are the rule breaker who seems to be the judge of things is ironic indeed.....or so, from my perspective, of course. :eyes:

[MonkeyFunk]

54. I don't care if people attack DUers

you've made it your life's mission to destroy a Democrat with every lie, smear and cheap tactic you can find. I find that reprehensible.

[FrenchieCat]

49. Thanks JI7! I certainly appreciate your post.....

:hi:

[Abacus]

43. As an Obama supporter who has a few fellow Obama supporters on ignore,

they aren't even close.

[Adelante]

28. You're the best!!

[FrenchieCat]

48. Thanks WesDem.......

:loveya:

[nebula]

42. Hillary's supporters are like her

all happily wallowing in the filth together, trying hard to take everyone down to their level.

[jconner27]

70. Obama followers have a short term memory

The least great slime war was started by the Obama supporters, you're the ones that started the name calling, using recycle Republican talking points against a Democrat. For months I have held a good view of Obama but thanks to you supporters you remind me of George W. Bush and the zombies he surrounds himself with he acts like he's taking the high road but let he's flunkies like Randi Rhodes do the dirty work for him.

[Olney Blue]

60. FrenchieCat, I don't always agree with you- but I am in awe of your

passionate support of Barack Obama. If anyone deserves a ticket to his inauguration, you do. :)

[HughMoran]

16. Tell me about it

I have to laugh when I hear Obama supporters saying such laughable things.

[Kittycat]

2. The firing squad will be along shortly.

Take cover.

[ericgtr]

3. Ahh that's okay.. I am sure I am asking for it one way or the other lol

:)

[Skip Intro]

5. Let's see, Obama supporters here have called her a racist, bitch, monster, terrorist sympathiser...

what else, that's just off the top of my head.

The great and mighty O has called her untrustworthy, bush/cheney-lite, compared her to gouliani.

What were you saying again?

[angie_love]

7. nah thats what we call geraldine ferrero.

[KAZ]

19. OMG! Too funny. If I did emoticons....

.. well, what the heck. :rofl:

[angie_love]

36. Thanks!

:patriot:

[DJ13]

15. I've accused Clinton of being a Republican

And until theres evidence she isnt one in Dem disguise (like ending her dirty tactics) I will continue to call her one.

Is that calling her a name, or expressing a political opinion?

[JAbuchan08]

72. All accurate statements,

I'm not going to defend Obama supporters as less harsh than Hillary supporters any more than I will defend Democrats as less partisan than Republicans. In both cases however; one side is more justified.

I say this as someone who is an Obama supporter only by default. Still, he is better than either Republican alternative.

[Skip Intro]

74. All accurate statements? Hillary Clinton is a bitch. That's an accurate statement???!!!

[JAbuchan08]

76. I spoke too soon.

I guess I kind of skimmed over that word without realizing it was included in your list, so... I will exclude the word b*tch, because as horrible and petty and monstorous, and cheating a person as she can be "b*tch," is still out of bounds even in describing a horrible, petty, monstorous, destructive and assholish person.

So in the interests of remaining within the bounds of DU's sensitivities I will describe her instead as a complete and total DICK.

[Johnny__Motown]

6. Well, at the very least she is a bad democrat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZsYWiywdCA&feature=related


these statements are unforgivable IMO

[NDambi]

13. Very Bad. But one must remember Hillary's "fans" are more rabid and bitter because she's losing and

she was the inevitable nominee.. it's all come crashing down.

[JohnnyLib2]

8. Well, brutal is pretty strong, but I've been called worse today:

"Congratulations, Hillary supporters. You are bigger rightwing hatemongers against Obama than the Republican nominee." (no link; it's locked)

As I replied there , please don't tell my Democratic mama about your view of me; it really might kill her. And being labeled a "vicious pitbull" is quite a shock to me as well. :wow:

:banghead:

[The Night Owl]

9. Brutality is Barack Obama loyalists saying that they won't vote for Hillary Clinton...

What is brutal is Barack Obama loyalists saying that they won't vote for Hillary Clinton if she wins the nomination. I have yet to hear Clinton supporters say that they won't vote for Obama if he wins the nomination.

[redqueen]

17. Did you see this?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5003315

[Umbram]

22. You absolutely must be joking... both sides have trolled this many times. (nt)

[40ozDonkey]

23. Then you haven't been paying attention

25% of Clinton supporters said they would never vote for Obama in the GE in the Ohio exit polls.
10% of Obama supporters said they wouldn't vote for Hillary.

Wolf Blizter and John King, on CNN the night of the Texas/Ohio/RI/VT primaries.

I guess you "missed" it.

[Adelante]

30. I've seen it a hundred times

At least.

[NDambi]

38. You've been smoking crack..I've seen it a bunch of times. How dishonest

[JVS]

56. LOL! You have not been looking very hard.

[greyghost]

64. Strong point.

[JAbuchan08]

73. Some Barack supporters say they will refuse to vote for Hillary

this is because they percieve her as Republican-lite, whereas when Hillary supporters say they will not vote for Obama MANY report that they will vote for McCain.

I can't speak for all Obama supporters (I'm not really a big supporter myself), but when I consider refusing to vote for Hillary in the GE, it is because of policy, not because I feel that my nominee is OWED the nomination and I want to spite the competition.

[SoFlaJet]

10. ericgtr

when Edwards was about to drop out right before our (sort of) primary down here in Florida I had to choose who to support-the way I saw the Cli9nton people here on DU was a real turn off-especially the ones who were so obviously paid staffers posting thread after thread of nonsensical bullshit propaganda, like they figured we were stupid people who all just fell off the turnip truck and stumbled upon a computer. It was an insult to MY intelligence-oh yea and that too-they like to insult your intelligence in every post-I even had to put a few on ignore and I'm glad I did. seems some were trying really hard to get some of us tomb-stoned-Oh yea I chose Obama

[Maven]

11. ROFL!

Great satire. Just great. :applause:

[Swamp Rat]

14. Keep in mind some of them are not really Hillary Clinton supporters.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

18. Noted.

[redqueen]

20. The worst of them most certainly are not.

I'm pretty much positive about that.

[Swamp Rat]

34. Those "supporters," along with Mark Penn, have ruined her campaign.

Going 'negative' was the worst decision ever.

I do not believe she will win the nomination, and I am even more certain she will not win the general election.

Conversely, Obama's message of hope is a winner.

[tularetom]

24. Funny but I feel just the opposite

I don't dislike any of the Hillarity supporters I encounter here on DU or elsewhere, but the more I see of her the more repulsive her personality seems to me.

And that voice - nails on a chalkboard.

Fortunately I've become very adept over the past seven years in the use of the mute button on the remote. In the unlikely event she is elected I anticipate much additional practice.

[boston bean]

25. how long you been reading the blog. on a different day, you would

see them calling for Hillary's head non stop.

Were you here the day the Geraldine Ferraro story broke? I know it seems like an eternity, but it wasn't very pretty if you were a Hillary supporter.

[HughMoran]

26. Then why have Hillary supporters left DU in a 10:1 margin over Obama supporters

The proof is in the putting -> http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5047493

That poll there shows that you are just wrong.

[Umbram]

29. That's damn good science! Nobody will dispute that gem. (nt)

[Adelante]

33. I didn't vote in that poll

Because people keep saying they're leaving and they turn up again.

[HughMoran]

35. The person I know who is a Hillary supporter will never post here again

Obama supporters have been total fucking ass holes over the past couple of months.

[Adelante]

39. Heh

Clinton supporters have been total fucking ass holes over the past couple of months. :D

[HughMoran]

41. Obama supporters have been 10x as bad

The proof is in the putting!

[Adelante]

44. Clinton supporters have been 100x as bad

[HughMoran]

45. True

Those Clinton supporters are wackos!

[Adelante]

47. I give! I give!

:rofl:

[NashVegas]

57. "I Know You Are But What Am I?"

This has been one of the top tactics of pro-Obama posters. Instead of trying to come up with an original argument, just turn around and accuse the other of what you, yourself, are doing.

[Adelante]

58. Get a sense of humor nt

[NashVegas]

63. Get Sense

[NDambi]

40. weak

[greyghost]

66. Has it only been a couple of months?

[2rth2pwr]

32. Make sure you don't vote for them. nt

[Cha]

37. I have most of hilary's

supporters on ignore but I like hilary even less. If you really look at her record and how she's conducted her campaign there's no way you can come up with "she's not a bad person", imo.

[Umbram]

50. How can you find Hillary worse than her supporters?

Hillary does drink goats blood, but her supporters drink baby's blood and that's the damn truth. I've seen it with my own two eyes, last full moon.

[casus belli]

46. Wolf in sheep's clothing....

Progressive my ass. The only thing separating some of her more rabid supporters from the type of idiot that put George Bush in office is an (R) next to their name. If this is the future of progressive politics, if we are at a place where it is not only acceptable to drag people through the mud, as the GOP did with Clinton, but considered fair game to do the same to those within your OWN party, then you have to question whether our future is worth having.

There is NOTHING progressive about some of the stuff going on here.

[Umbram]

52. "There is NOTHING progressive about some of the stuff going on here."

A bold lie. Things are in fact getting progressively less progressive.

:freak:

[casus belli]

53. I stand utterly corrected.

Well played. :)

[jconner27]

55. Are you sure you don't mean Obama supporters?

Obama supporters use Drudge, Free Republic, Newsmax whatever right wing rag to support their guy.

[Oilwellian]

62. Well, I did use Fox News recently as a reference

But that's when Fox advisor Geraldine Ferraro recently had the microphone.

[NashVegas]

59. I Will Confess, Yes, I Have Been Brutal at Times

With Obama posters who are willing to drop the charades and intelligently discuss the campaign, I'm more than willing to reciprocate.

There have been two times that I'm aware of, when the shit got so thick that I started threads that could only have been offensive to Obama posters, got alerted on up the ying yang but allowed to remain. I did it because their attacks on Hillary Clinton had gone so above and beyond the scope of decency that the only thing to do was hold up a mirror and match them in offense.

Even now I've got a graphic I'm holding in reserve that lays out my exact feelings on Obama's campaign.

I've got an ignore list with what must be 200 names or more - supporters of both candidates. Most of them are either trolls or idiots, but there are a few who, I'm sad to say, are posters whose threads I used to read in other forums.

I have been *personally* attacked by an Obama poster and took the high road. Two days later I wrote a negative in her thread and she made a public show of putting me on her ignore list, then sent me an accusatory inbox message that couldn't be responded to, because of the ignore. This campaign is making people do nutty things.

[izzybeans]

61. I've made the conscious decision to be brutal right back tonight. I'm fed up with

the nonsense. I'm giving myself a one night pass. Fuck this. Tomorrow I'll be back smiling.

I've started too many positive threads only to have them sink, i'm being unnecessarily provocative tonight. Because that's what the simpletons respond to.

[backscatter712]

65. They've come out of the cracks all at once.

Probably because they coordinate their spamming of GD:P.

Half of them are shills from HillaryIs44 and such sites.

The other half are Freepers here to stir the shit.

[Arkansas Granny]

67. I disagree with your analysis. It has become nearly impossible to

post a positive thread about Senator Clinton on this board without having some Obama supporters hijack it and turn it into a hate-fest. To be sure, there has been name calling and nasty remarks from both sides, but I know of many Clinton supporters who are no longer posting in GD-P because there is so little discussion on real issues and so much hostility towards Clinton and her supporters.

[mtnsnake]

68. I'll see what I can do to talk the other Hillary supporters into being all warm & fuzzy (snicker)

[Catherine Vincent]

69. Is this a joke?

:rofl:

[cooolandrew]

71. What could be so bad about "all men are pigs" for 8 years. It's a positive vision of the future.

Maybe.

[Ravy]

75. I know exactly what you mean. Check out *this* thread!!!
