To illustrate how utterly ridiculous it's getting in here...

[JuniperLea]

Please see my post, linked below. Then please see the two responses to that post. Yes, you are seeing correctly! One single post has garnered me the vitriol and hubris from both camps! I've been called a Hillbot and an Obamanaiac in response to one single post!

All y'all are nutty as bat shit... and all y'all need to step away from the Kool Aid before someone gets hurt.

[LakeSamish706]

1. What I seriously want to know is, who died and left you leader of the pack anyway? n/t

[JuniperLea]

7. Ah yes... the personal attack instead of seeing clearly...

Another sign of Kool Aid poisoning...

[LakeSamish706]

8. And of course your not happy with ending it in the previous form.... Lets just carry it...

into a new form and beat it up some more.....

[JuniperLea]

31. Yes, the ol' Rovian attack the messenger routine...

You really are hitting all the marks!

[OzarkDem]

9. Unlike you

the OP is a long time member of this forum and like others, we're shocked at the depths to which political discourse has sunk. Its gone beyond silly to pathetic and isn't helping anyone's candidate, unless its McCain.

[LakeSamish706]

12. Well then maybe you should be in touch with Hillary and tell her to step aside. n/t

[JuniperLea]

21. Thank you again for perfectly illustrating the signs of Kool Aid poisoning... eom

[JuniperLea]

14. Hear hear!!!

Thank you, and well said!

[LakeSamish706]

15. Oh, and by the way... "Unlike you the OP is a long time member of this forum"...

that sounds like something I might expect to be reading on a Republican forum, not on DU.

[JuniperLea]

22. Thanks for the other talking point... you are batting 1000! eom

[BigDaddy44]

2. This would be funny if it wasn't so sad

We are now at each others throats. Tolerance? Hah. Out the window. You are with me or against me, and there is no middle ground. What happened to my party?

[JuniperLea]

13. I know... I know...

I'm laughing through my tears... Wish I could change my screen name to Pagliacci!

[high density]

3. You are ignoring the author of this thread

Therefore I am not surprised it is filled with vitriol.

[JuniperLea]

16. As I stated elsewhere in that thread...

I never got a chance to hold the OP's feet to the flame because of all the idiocy that ensued! It's his/her thread... I'm sure he/she will get my drift.

Take your neener neener elsewhere... you didn't do this to Johnny, so I'm not going to listen... neener neener... I can't hear you... I can't hear you... blah blah blah... I can't hear you...


Thank you for illustrating my point so vividly.

[high density]

25. So I'm an idiot for ignoring a person who posts flamefest threads?

I think people are idiots for enabling them.

[JuniperLea]

28. Don't put words in my posts...

Read again, and think.

[2rth2pwr]

4. When you lecture people in a self-righteous manner and call them names

what are you expecting exactly?

[JuniperLea]

23. Thanks again for the illustration of what I'm talking about

People have become tools spouting talking points and they don't even realize they've been had.

[2rth2pwr]

29. It's taking awhile, but your wisdom is starting to penetrate my

thick veneer of ignorance.

Thank you.

[Window]

5. Obamaniacs, Hillbots. Hmmmmm.

[JuniperLea]

24. Just using the vernacular being bandied about...

So people can see themselves...

[Speck Tater]

6. Reminds me of the Republican false dicotomy.

Either you're in favor of the war or you're a terrorist.

So anyone who is relatively objective is, by definition, viewed as a type X-fanatic for not being a type Y-fanatic. So objectivity is now forbidden.

When we see Republicans apply this kind of twisted logic we laugh at it. But to see Democrats doing the same thing, well that's just sad. But I guess a fanatic is a fanatic, regardless of which wing of the bird he sits on.

[JuniperLea]

20. That is EXACTLY what is happening here!

And the tools perpetuating that RW tactic are so poisoned by the Kool Aid they have no clue they are doing it.

We've been had... and so easily.

[Bolo Boffin]

10. Actually the person who called you a Hillbot is being slammed for Obama ties.

Not you.

However, if what you had said had actually happened, I wouldn't be surprised.

[JuniperLea]

30. Huh? eom

[Bolo Boffin]

34. Look at it again.

Someone calls you a Hillbot, and then somebody makes a Obama insult to that person.

Not you.

[BOSSHOG]

11. Damn ya pissed both sides off. Good for you!!!

I've tired of being pissed, I'm into the laugh at them mode now.

[JuniperLea]

17. Thank you, BOSSHOG!

Me too! There is enough idiocracy around here to keep us both chuckling.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

18. You're a Hillbot Obamamaniac! Racist sexist rightwing troll!

There - that about covers it.

;-)

[JuniperLea]

26. Thanks for wrapping that all up for me!

I was feeling quiet divided... but now I feel like Sybil after all the personalities came together!

:rofl:

Brilliant... thanks for that!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

33. Hey no problem - I was just making sure that all parties are represented....

n/t

[TheDoorbellRang]

19. Perhaps because you're offending both camps

by referring to them as "Obamaniacs" and "Hillbots." :shrug:

If you post something that purposely stirs up shit, don't act so surprised at the resulting miasma. I know it's a lot more letters to type, but I've found that referring to the two camps as Obama supporters and Clinton supporters usually attracts a lot less vitriol, and a lot more dialogue.

[JuniperLea]

27. Clearly you've missed the entire point... sorry... eom

[JuniperLea]

32. Shameless bump for the afternoon crowd...

I'm seeing so much of this today it is getting to be quite scary!
