12. I want to draw attention to how SOME nasty trolling is MUCH MORE accepted than other ...
For example, when people say nasty things about those who have brought up the legitimate and serious issue of the significant discrepancy b/t ALL the final polls, and much of the exit polling, with the reported results in NH -- why that's fair game. I am not saying I am solidly convinced that the election WAS IN FACT determined by fraud, but surely there is reason to keep an open mind and to recognize (as Kucinich did) that there is real evidence at issue and not just, to quote one DU (!) poster "sore/loserman".

I notice that those who bash Obama are treated much more harshly than those who bash Hillary or than the purportedly more nasty Obamanauts.

I refrain from insulting other commentors personally, as well as from the practice of mindlessly insulting the candidates. But I don't refrain from vigorous criticism, nor from topics considered 'tin foil hat' territory. For many, that's bad enough.

Once again -- I would vote for either HRC or Obama if they get the nomination, as whatever I or some others might think of HRC, the Repugs are SO MUCH worse that there really is no other choice.
