In the last four hours I have found these posts

[Bitwit1234]

All in reference to bashing Hillary Clinton . And funny there have been posts about the negative postings of Hillary supporters. No where is there any post in these four hours in negative post from Hillary supporters against Obama. How come then the post about Hillary bashing Obama. I guess to try to make up for the crap "they" post.

Heres a sampling

First we have about three with the exact message Hillary and her abandoned pet. Pure crap.

Then something from about two or three years ago about Hillary's initiatives...such a stretch.

Then about three or four posts that people won't vote for Hillary..well with a 30 point lead (almost) over the nearest other candidate. Pure sour grapes.

Real silly silly.....Will sound strange to call Hillary Commander in Chief...sexist???????

Then we have two more bashing I didn't even bother to record. When will these juvys who post this crap understand that intelligent voters, well they make their minds up on intelligent issues. Not bashing bashing bashing. What they should do is post something intelligent and good their candidate has or will do. Not much of that is there.

1. Okay, let me ask you this......

Do you consider that someone who finds fault in Senator Clinton, is "bashing" her? How should people who don't believe she would make a good president, or who believe that her accepting money from Republicans renders her a friend to Republicans, and who do not want her as their president, speak about her so that you will not think that she is being bashed, but, rather, that these people simply do NOT think she would make a good candidate for president? Any suggestions?

2. Who cares? Why the whining? No one care force anyone to like any particular candidate.

[Robbien]

3. This thread's sole purpose is to squash opinions you don't agree with

So what if others do not like your candidate and say so.

There are hundreds if not thousands of threads extolling the virtues of your candidate. Go play in them.

5. Hillary is THE MOST conservative of the bunch

You have to expect people here to be against her more than anyone else, not to mention that she's leading in the polls, which also adds fuel to the fire.

[MethuenProgressive]

10. if so, then support someone else. But rantpostings about her cat?

Tell me again how that'll impact on the Tibet and Taiwan issue's pressure on trade with China?

[truedelphi]

27. Not all of the many postings on those topics were rants

Against Hillary.

Even my non-political cat Chellbie came to her defense in the Sock's disscussion. And though Hillary's not my cup of tea, I joined him in his defending her. http://tinyurl.com/2b52wt

Hugh Hillary Hater.

I hate it when my allies embarrass me as much as I embarrass them.

[papau]

15. Actually as many have noted, on Domestic issues she is not the most conservative n/t

[MethuenProgressive]

18. Shhh! They hate facts!!

Get's in the way of the agenda, y'kmow?

[robinlynne]

26. except she took money from big pharma and hmos, which means she will be.

[papau]

28. I believe you meant she took "more money" from big pharma/HMO employees - which is expected since

large corporations bet on all sides with the most money going to those that appear in the lead.

[robinlynne]

33. Edwards and Kucinich do not take any money from them. I don't know about the others.

In order to restore health care, a new president will need to fight these corporations to the bone.

[papau]

40. Edwards doesn't accept money directly from federal lobbyists - he says nothing about employees of

HMO'S or Big Pharma or about the broader lobbying community, accepting money from firms that have lobbying operations and family members of lobbyists.

I do not know DK's internal rules, but I suspect they are the same.

Tighter rules are difficult to enforce without one heck of a large database of folks you will not take moneu from - without that data base you are relying what is reported by the donor as their occupation.

6. I hope folks get paid for all the trouble you seem to have gone through.

It'd be sad to think anyone would do it for free. :silly: :dunce:

[MethuenProgressive]

14. Right - "if you don't hate Hillary you must be getting paid to post"...

It's sad to think anyone would think that.

[TahitiNut]

16. Yeah. Gosh. That's exactly what I said. Riiiight.

:sarcasm:

Read much? :eyes:

30. it's a freak show.

[TahitiNut]

37. Amen.

Like what once graced the sideshows at state fairs. Oh well... they had to go somewhere. :shrug:

[EV_Ares]

38. Actually this kind of stuff turns me more against her, eom.

[MethuenProgressive]

7. It's nothing new, especially the post/ repost/ rerepost/ of some batshit blogcusation.

What they should do is post something intelligent and good their candidate has or will do.

Don't hold your breath!

[mudesi]

8. As if Hillary supporters do?

The vast majority of reasons Hillary supporters give as reasons to vote for her are superficial and inconsequential. Her "toughness", for example.

[MethuenProgressive]

11. Her "toughness" is "superficial and inconsequential"

...compared to neophyte Barack and milquetoast Johnny?
That's interesting you think so.

[Whisp]

9. Hillary does not represent what americans are looking for.

she is way too close to the very wallets than made america what it is today.
you can call it bashing, I call it something else- being aware.

[walldude]

13. In the last 4 minutes

which is all I can stand these days, I have seen posts telling me I'm a juvy, that I don't understand those "intelligent" voters, that I should boycott the advertisers on Bill Mahr's show(now that was a funny one considering he's on HBO) that I should shut up about about anyone who is not a Democrat. That was in my first 4 minutes on DU. I can't wait to see how much I am told to fuck off in 4 hours. What a great way to get long time frustrated liberals to listen to you. Insult them. Good plan...

[earth mom]

19. If Hillary can't stand the heat, she needs to get out of the kitchen. nt

[Evergreen Emerald]

21. I agree with you Bitwit

It gets tiresome and annoying. We have circled the wagons and are shooting at each other with such anger it is astonishing. It is almost as if we forgot who has been in charge the last seven years.

[scarletwoman]

22. My only question is, why didn't you post this in GD-Politics?

I really, really, REALLY wish all the candidate food fights were confined to GD-P. That's what that forum was established for, after all.

[Evergreen Emerald]

23. Actually we should have a new forum: "candidate food fights"

That way I would not have to weed through the bashing to get to quality stuff.

[scarletwoman]

24. No, we don't need a new forum. GD-P was specifically established for primary election politicking.

[populistdriven]

25. I'd like to see her plan to get out of Iraq in anything other than Friedman units

It is a simple request.

I do think most of the Hillary bashing here at DU would be directed at any front runner. Call it the vetting process.

[burythehatchet]

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

34. There's plenty of bashing to go around.

And unsurprisingly a lot of it gets directed at the front-runner. Hillary supporters do bash Obama. Obama supporters bash Hillary. Kucinich supporters bash everybody. It's the primaries. Eventually they will be over and we can get back to the real purpose of DU: Bashing each other.

[EV_Ares]

35. Talk about crap posts:

I have posted things on Hillary and it is not bashing her. The problem it seems is that some, not all Hillary supporters think you are not supposed to post anything that the Hillary supporters believe to not be a positive post for her.
It doesn't happen that way. I know I certainly don't mind if someone posts something about Obama, Edwards or Dennis that I may not feel makes them look great but I would appreciate it being posted as long as it is not a lie. To make a decision you should know the bad as well as the good so if you are a supporter to defend it. If you see something posted you do not believe or you don't like about Hillary instead of bitching about it, inform the poster why you do not think it is true or correct. Maybe by informing and enlightening those of us who do not support her, you might actually make some converts but just bitching about it all the time or as some do attacking the poster, you will not gain anything at all out of it and only make others angry.

For me to make a intelligent decision about which Dem I am going to vote for, I prefer to know about him and I am not afraid of negative truthful information about him. That way I know I have made the right choice.

36. And bush is the president, so as citizens we should not bash him either

face it, people in leadership roles or wanting to be there need a lot of scrutiny if they want us to give the keys to our nukes and one of the most powerful jobs in the world.

39. Hillary Clinton's Iran Vote Problem; only democratic candidate voting

to give Bush authority on Iran.
