In case anyone's wondering about the increasingly unhinged attacks on Hillary we're seeing.

[DanTex]

The explanation is pretty simple...

[NurseJackie]

1. I figured as much. There really is a cause-and-effect at work here.

This makes me happy. Very, very happy.

[upaloopa]

2. I have a lot of the those posters on ignore but sometimes I forget to log in so there they are.

After logging in the IQ level of the OP's seem to increase exponentially.

[Human101948]

10. Wow! Talk about arrogant!

What's next? Bragging about your SAT scores?

[upaloopa]

11. Hey thuth hurts sometimes. The anti Hillary OP's read like junior high insults.

That's about the level they are.

[Human101948]

13. Stop being so arrogant and your thuth will feel better...

Spelling and attention to detail not your core strengths?

[upaloopa]

19. don't read my posts if you don't like them ignore is your friend too

[Blue_Adept]

28. You know you have nothing when you go for typo attacks

Especially since many folks are posting via phone and tablet and things get a little more problematic compared to keyboard warriors.

[Bubzer]

36. Being more than a little disingenuous aren't you? You're defending hypocrisy.

upaloopa attacked those who don't favor hillary by calling into question their level of intelligence, but couldn't spell "truth" correctly. The "r" in truth is nowhere near the "h" that replaced it, on the keyboard. Those who throw stones shouldn't live in glass houses, as the saying goes.

[Blue_Adept]

44. I'm not defending any positions or opinions.

Just pointing out that attacking for people for a typo makes you look like an asshole.

[Bubzer]

46. But attacking IQ level deserves a pass eh? Interesting double standard you've got there.

[Blue_Adept]

51. Where have I even mentioned IQ levels? You're continuing to just pull things out of your ass.

[Ed Suspicious]

52. Read post #2 and get back to us as to whether the poor

spelling is still out of bounds.

[Blue_Adept]

53. That has absolutely nothing to do with this

Every single thing in this particular subthread is about a fucking typo. Not IQ, not all this other stuff being dragged in.

Has reading comprehension dropped so horribly these days among DUers?

[Bubzer]

58. Based on your replies, I agree, reading comprehension does seem to have decreased.

Selectively attacking Human101948's post, but ignoring the attacks made by upaloopa puts you in the position of defending upaloopa since your attacks are unevenly distributed.

You may want to re read the thread.

[Bubzer]

54. You didn't mention it at all... which is exactly my point.

[MohRokTah]

15. Moh's law

"As Hillary's numbers increase, the Attacks by Sanders supporters will increasingly resemble something said by Donald Trump".

[Human101948]

20. So you're a Bernie supporter?

Very clever, using that logo to slip in under the radar!

[MohRokTah]

21. WTF???

[Sheepshank]

31. so very busy bailing out the water from that sinking ship

...so many don't have the time to put in the effort to provide a decent, well thought out, rebuttal.

[AgingAmerican]

56. Actually the opposite is happening

Attacks by Hillary supporters increasingly resemble something said by Donald Trump. They sound EXACTLY like Trump....

[Bubzer]

37. You know, that works the other way around too.

Using your words while substituting just the name makes this an accurate statement:

The anti Bernie OP's read like junior high insults.
That's about the level they are.

There's no shortage of immaturity in either camp. Clintonistas are just as wrong (if not more) in this.

[ProgressiveVC]

38. Chelsea Clinton said almost the same thing

when lecturing us about her moms lack of 'clairvoyance' about iraq.

when it comes to war, hillary isn't the adult in the room.

[NCTraveler]

3. +1

I posted a while ago that the tide of the primary can be determined by the sides posting patterns. Hillary supporters were posting some pretty rough shit for a while as Sanders support grew. It's now going the other way as Sanders plateaued a couple weeks ago. I don't think the pendulum is done swinging yet.

[leftofcool]

4. The more they attack, the higher her poll number go

Works for me.

[1StrongBlackMan]

35. LOL ...

And it's a feedback loop ... The more they attack, the higher her poll number go; and, the higher the poll numbers go, the more they attack HRC.

What's going to happen in a months (February 2nd) when Martin O'Malley's finishes ahead of Bernie in Iowa? (M O'M's ground game is fierce.)

[JaneyVee]

5. INSERT SOMETHING ABOUT TRENDLINES HERE.

If only they spent even half the time propping up their own candidate instead of tearing others down.

[NurseJackie]

12. It's a tactic of last resort. (Desperate times, I guess.)

[Logical]

6. FFS, dramatic much? Nt

[upaloopa]

18. I guerss you don't like the latest poll numbers either.

[Logical]

25. No, just the paranoia of hillry fans crack me up. Nt

[Scuba]

7. There's another factor at play too ....

Lots of people don't like her policy positions, or her constant changing of policy positions.

[sufrommich]

8. Some of them have gone way beyond the pale.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251731233#post9

[NaturalHigh]

9. No, I'm not wondering. I figured as much.

[randome]

14. OWS all over again.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[Thinkingabout]

16. The debate was a great exposure, the trend started changing, her poll numbers went up.

She has had a great month resulting in increase of poll numbers. Her testimony exposed a very presidential view and resulted in increased poll numbers. Now some are attempting to rise above the wave and we know the game, the same one launched by Republicans for years. Guess what, nasty but she still performs well.

[stonecutter357]

17. K&R!

[Beausoir]

22. Proof is in the pudding.

[Fred Sanders]

23. Grumpy cats are not just Republicans.

But, seriously, the also fans have to create some kind of "buzz" to keep the hopes alive....and Martin will be in second place before he is in first and his footsteps are growing closer.

What will the LW attacks on Martin look like?

[JRLeft]

24. Or maybe it's her corporate connections, but why let facts get in the way of a good lie.

[Sheepshank]

34. so how does that play into the poll numbers...no making sense

I've always believed and will continue to do so that 10,000 people voting have more power than 1 multi millionaire...once in the voting booth.

Those who want to throw in the towel and fall on their swords claiming they have no power in the vote are just plain wrong.

These poll numbers are obtained via individuals....so please explain how you this your false premise can play with these numbers.

[Renew Deal]

26. I agree

And it's been obvious. There is a palpable sense of desperation.

[Armstead]

32. Oooooooooo. Desperation. Another wonderful meaaningless meme

So smug and dismissive.

[Renew Deal]

33. Not completely meaningless

1.
the state of being desperate or of having the recklessness of despair.

2.
the act or fact of despairing; despair.

[Armstead]

60. Yeagh whatever. Keep being sumg and dismissive. It's really going to help the D's election

[PowerToThePeople]

27. Some people call it a dead cat bounce.

[SunSeeker]

50. Who calls Hillary's surge a "dead cat bounce"? nt

[redstateblues]

29. The Hillary Haters are out in force today

I waded through one of their fever swamps this AM and the personal attacks are intense.It's almost like being on one of those far right sites.

[Armstead]

30. Is that the new meme? "Unhinged"? Personally I'd call this post "unhinged."

Yes political opposition is unhinged if it's not your candidate.

Thanks for another refreshing drink served from the Meme Machine.

[frylock]

39. I'd love to see some of these "increasingly unhinged attacks on Hillary"

Got links?

[stupidicus]

42. indeed, many HC supporters need some study time

http://www.mesacc.edu/~barsp59601/text/103/notes/1.html

[Ed Suspicious]

55. MohROFLtah's posts seem incredibly. . . hinged.

More conservative wing projection this unhinged accusation is.

[Gore1FL]

40. It seems like the opposite is true

The unhinged attacks from the Tea Party has resulted in the polling shift.

[stupidicus]

41. "unhinged" is the kinda rhetoric the frustrated

use to castigate and figuratively castrate their opposition, and particularly when they are subliminally aware of their own impotence.

Sadly examples of this "unhinged" state are nowhere in evidence, suggesting that it is just another case of projection on the part of a Clinton supporter.

And even if some isolated examples do exist, they were likely motivated by feelings/thoughts long in existence as opposed to cultivated and prompted by poll movements you can't or haven't established they are even aware of or do pay any attention to. Furthermore, your use of "increasingly" suggests that "unhinged" is not a new problem associated with poll numbers, so to suggest that those numbers are now the sole or even dominant cause of an unestablished escalation is hooey.

I'd suggest that maybe that escalation your percieving but have failed to establish is just a product of your less than creative and entirely predictable imagination. This post is all about rubbing BS supporters nose in it, and the "unhinged" description is no doubt Clinton-speak for "material we have no rebuttal to".

Sure genius, BS supporters simply can't control themselves because being in second place is something they've yet to grow accustomed to, as are movements up and down polls period.

[Bluenorthwest]

43. I await the DanTex OP which makes a point without characterizing others.

It's been a long wait so far.

[Gothmog]

45. The recent polling has been nice

[SunSeeker]

47. Exactly. nt

[Motown_Johnny]

48. Terrifying, isn't it?

[brooklynite]

49. This one's a bit clearer...

Starting May 1, when Sanders joined the race.



Pretty clear that his growth stalled out in mid-September: before Biden, before the debate and before the Benghazi hearing. Those were icing on the cake.

[mcar]

57. Simple indeed

Thanks DanTex.

[frylock]

59. Still waiting for examples of increasingly unhinged attacks on Hillary..

I'll check back in a couple of hours.

[Cha]

61. Thank you, DanTex!
