128. You are missing the point - The point is that these threads are not attacking the candidate, but his
supporters.

I have no problems with threads who attack Obama on positions or on scandals, true or not. These can be rebutted and Obama is running.

However, calling Obama supporters cultists or other things like that is different. It is engaging in name calling and in other times, would have been rejected by the moderators (not blaming them. I see too many things I would lock if I was a moderator, so I understand they have more or less renounce to moderate this forum altogether).

You probably will not understand the difference, but there is a huge difference between attacking Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, and attacking their supporters because they support them.
