On the Hillary obsession here at DU [View All]

[niceypoo]

The media in this country has been obsessed with her for a long, long time as has the republican party. The circular firing squad here at the DU and their freeper allies are becoming consumed by her. They know who they are. Of course there are many who's critique of her is rational and not obsessive and whom I largely agree with. Ironically, the hatred of Hillary here has turned into hatred of Bill Clinton also, by many. It is as if a lot of DUers are metamorphosing into republicans. Hatred is irrational. I personally find the whole mess disgusting, top to bottom. Critique is one thing, but many have gone way beyond that. It is degrading the overall tone of this community.

This obsession is of the type once unique to the republican party. It reminds me of the republicans in yahoo chat back in the late 90s with their endless, mindless ranting and their ever growing laundry lists of attacks. It must be a creepy feeling knowing that some of your allies here are lurking freepers; seriously. Some times, 1/4 of the new threads are about Hillary this, and Hillary that. It is becoming absurd. Of course anybody who stands on the sideline and points out the irrationality of the whole mess is attacked as some kind of Hillary sycophant, as I expect I will be for posting this.
