Knock it off with this "Hillbots" crap
It's not funny. It's not amusing. It's not original. It's stupid.

1. Why? It's not like it makes a difference in the open hostility that rules this forum.

2. Why not call out all the name-calling like "cultists,"
"Obamababies," "Obamabots," etc.? Is namecalling only okay for one group of supporters? FWIW, I don't like the namecalling on either side, although I understand the temptation and try to resist it. I can't swear I've never done it, but I try not to and don't remember doing it recently.

5. That's bad too

It's just I seem to see to see "Hillbots" more often than the rest too.

At least use her full name and call them "Hillarybots". "Hillbots" just sound juvenile.

4. It's not funny or amusing that I can't much difference between
republicans attacking Obama or Clinton supporters attacking Obama either.

6. Hillbots Is Fine
unless you also have a problem with Obamites.

In which case, you probably shouldn't be here.

7. OK. How about - say - HillBillies? Ya know, Hillary and Bill?
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 08:24 PM by faygokid
Get it?

What do you expect from an Obamaniac? Our cult leaders told us to post like this. It's not my fault.

Don't send the HillBillies after me. Please.

10. agreed and while we're at it, Hillary supporters calling Obama "White hating"
and "anti-American" should be pounced on by all posters.

12. Neither is Obamabot, but that certainly hasn't stopped Clinton supporters.
I've seen that FAR more than Hillbot.

13. Hillary herself uses..Hillraiser, I'm guessing that is from Hellraiser
the movie. I think that is much worse than any other name.

14. I get a kick out of people that can't even make this sort of thing netural.
How hard is it to dial the whining down by fifty-fold by saying:

Let's end all of this Hillbot, Hillhound, Obamaton, Obama*whatver...
