Poll question: Which Candidate Has Gotten The Most Abuse So Far On DU?
And I mean just on DU, not "out there" in TV land or the mainstream media.

1. There can be little doubt.

2. Clinton received "abuse" when she was just talking about running.

4. This is a silly question... it's like "who is the least popular 20th century German leader?"
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 08:09 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Hillary is abused for just waking up in the morning.

23. That's the one!
His reputation never recovered from his endorsement of Heinrich Lübke

22. Oh, I'm not joking...
Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson, Dodd, Biden supporters, they've all bashed Kucinich here, from day one and consistently. Us DK supporters are used to it though. :)

24. Perspective matters, of course.
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 08:51 PM by TwilightZone
I don't really have a candidate this time, and that seems to provide an interesting perspective. It seems like every candidate's supporters think their candidate is the biggest target, though personally, it's hard to top the constant barrage Hillary has received.

I have to admit the last person I probably would have considered "most bashed" would have been Kucinich. Until very recently, I always had the impression that he was by far the preferred candidate around here, but I'll also admit that I wasn't looking too hard for the negatives posted about him. Maybe because I don't think he has many negatives to bash.

8. About five or so posters have abused the heck out of Edwards in the last couple of weeks.
Interesting since Edwards is still the #1 choice at DU.

16. Yes, it's apparently a grave insult to a handful of very persistent posters
that Edwards dares to stay in the race now that a whopping two states have already voted.

9. Hillary by far has gotten the most abuse at DU
but us Hillbots can return as good as we get.

10. Candidate, hell, we're killing one another.
This place has morphed into a circular firing squad.

We've lost so many decent, level-headed, long-term DUers in the past few weeks that I feel like we have lost a good bit of DU's soul.

And I find it sad, indeed.

17. It's been Hillary.
but I voted Obama because the most vile have been toward him.

Hillary is not a victim.

Who disagrees?
