Some Threads Here Are Beyond Tasteless, And Appear To THREATEN Hillary Clinton

[Dinger]

Can't you (you know who you are) just stick with meanness instead?

[Mooney]

1. She can take it.

She's a fighter, remember?

[MonkeyFunk]

2. They're really scared

and acting out.

[AX10]

4. Some of the netroots crowd is begining to look like the left wing..

version of Mike Savage. :scared:

[Dinger]

44. No Shit (nt)

[Horse with no Name]

105. It's getting close to time to log off permanently

because many people here give me the same overall feeling of ickiness that Savage and his ilk give me.

[joeybee12]

106. Amen!

Are we on Free republic with just a few words changed???

[calico1]

107. It is really getting difficult to tell the difference.

Lots of Freeper expressions like "Shillary"etc., Republican talking points galore. Sickening. I thought we were supposed to be more enlightned than the Republicans. I am not so sure anymore. Some of the behavior here reminds me of how GWB supporters acted when he was running.

[Lucinda]

83. Yup.

[ExtraGriz]

90. totally agreed n/t

[scheming daemons]

3. According to her highness, this is the "fun part"....

...

[Eurobabe]

5. Oh Dinger, call a WAAAAAAMBULANCE

Read some of the posts against Obama, same pile different style.

Hillary is a strong woman, she can defend herself I am sure.

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Who's Threatening Mrs. Clinton?

As to beyond tasteless... there's definitely unfortunate stuff - but nothing as bad as, say, race baiting.

[Dinger]

13. Definitely Not Race Baiting, But Gender Bias/Sexism Appears To Have Much More "Acceptability"

As to negative Obama posts, yes, they are there, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Hillary gets the lion's share of hate here. How'd you like the "Cluster Bomb Clinton" thread title?

[HooptieWagon]

18. Cluster Bomb Clinton was in reference to her voting to drop them on civilians.eom

[Malikshah]

64. Once one reads the thread as a whole. Taken at first read it comes

across as the Imperative.

It was a shameful title that is beneath this board.

BTW-- I am in agreement that Clinton's vote against the ban is shameful.

It is the principle, however, of this sort of crass partisanship that is driving folks away.

[MannyGoldstein]

22. Do You Have A Link to The Thread?

My feeling is that Obama is more the victim of fact-free blather. The anti-Clinton posts tend to be fact-based.

[HooptieWagon]

29. Facts=math=caucuses=don't count

[Dinger]

39. Doesn't Have Much To Do With This Thread Topic

[HooptieWagon]

63. I agree - facts don't have much to do with this topic. n/t

[Occam Bandage]

That wasn't a threat, it was a nickname referring to her pro-cluster-bomb vote.

[Dinger]

47. Well, Not Everybody Sees It That Way

People should choose their words more carefully. Couldn't the point have been made differently?

[Occam Bandage]

49. "Not Everybody" being "Pretty much everyone but you."

[emilyg]

68. Are you pretending to be stupid?

[Occam Bandage]

71. Do colorless green dreams sleep furiously?

[Emit]

85. lol!

~poetic~

[Carolina]

92. but words are cheap, don't ya know

[mrreowwr_kittty]

95. Yet you support a woman who voted to continue using cluster bombs against civilians.

The irony, it burns.

[Occam Bandage]

7. Suck it up.

[still_one]

8. I don't know specifically what you are referring to , but clinton's comments about

mccain more qualified than Obama, have turned me from someone who would have voted for WHOEVER the Democratic nominee was, to ANYONE but clinton or mccain

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. What kinds of threats?

Taking her botox away?

:rofl:

[Dinger]

15. Just Read This Forum. (nt)

[proud2BlibKansan]

84. I have read the thread up to here

and all I see are allegations of threats and no links.

You all are way too paranoid.

[City Lights]

10. What? Where? Link? eom

[Dinger]

16. Just Read The Thread Titles Here. That Should Do It (nt)

[anigbrowl]

26. You don't have any examples - you're just blowing smoke

I haven't seen any thread titles threatening Hillary Clitnon. 'Cluster bomb Clinton' refers to her well-known vote against banning the use of cluster bomb munitions in civilian areas. since I doubt that anyone outside of the USAF has access to a cluster bomb, suggesting that this is a threat is just ridiculous.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. The agents of change, hope & unity

[HooptieWagon]

12. Provide one example of a threat

I won't hold my breath. In the meantime, I'm sure Shrill can handle having her kitchen sink thrown back at her - it's "just words".

[Dinger]

19. Right Here:

"Cluster Bomb Clinton"
Bit of a threat I'd say.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

25. LOL: She's the one ordering bombs to be dropped

After all, she even encouraged Bill to bomb Kosovo. I bet that upset the civilians
waiting for those bombs to drop.

[olkaz]

27. nice try; way to purposefully take it out of context

They're referencing her non-action in the banning of cluster munitions.

Next example please.

[Occam Bandage]

28. Again, you demonstrate that you do not read threads past the subject line.

"Cluster Bomb" was a nickname for her, given her vote in favor of continuing the cluster bombing of civilian areas.

[Dinger]

43. There's Nothing Like A First Impression

Thread titles do just that. They have the first impact, and many people here don't read the full thread. I do that sometimes, but I did read the whole post. What I'm saying is that thread titles are powerful tools.

[Occam Bandage]

48. So you're deliberately taking this out of context, because you're worried someone else might

take it out of context?

:crazy:

94. exactly and Hillary made a bad one

a bad first impact, first impression that is... starting in Iowa.

[anigbrowl]

31. That's so lame it needs its own crutch.

[bicentennial_baby]

36. And reading is fundamental...

as is reading comprehension :)

[HooptieWagon]

41. So I guess we have to add reading comprehension

to math, facts, caucuses, small states, red states, as things that don't count.

[Carolina]

96. oooh TOUCHE!

[City Lights]

40. Just my opinion, but I think you're reaching with that.

I see no threat there. At all. Just pointing out that Clinton supports cluster bombs.

on edit - if anything gets under your skin about that thread it should be the pictures. Shame on you, Hillary McClinton!

[Dinger]

51. I Realize That, But Doesn't Perception Count For Anything?

People do see things on an individual basis. Yes, it was a reach, I'll admit that. But I did that to make a point.

[Occam Bandage]

53. If you want to "make a point," it helps to have some evidence that goes beyond "a reach."

Unless your point was some meta-business about how people throw out ridiculous accusations and can't support them.

[bicentennial_baby]

54. And your point was an epic

[City Lights]

62. Sure, but perception must extend beyond the thread title.

Thread titles are attention grabbers.

After reading that OP rather than just the title, if you still think it somehow threatens Clinton, then I conclude that your perception differs from mine.

I'll add that even before I clicked on that thread, I knew what the content of the OP would be. I never viewed even the title as threatening to Clinton in any way.

[Dinger]

70. I Agree,

Sort of.


Peace y'all. I'm dog tired and going' to bed. Been a long day.


Dinger

[northernsoul]

103. The tem Cluster Bomb is being used as a descriptive noun, not an imperative verb.

Please reconsider the basis of your accusations.

[Jamastiene]

14. Well said.

:thumbsup:

Kicked and recommended too, btw. Thank you for pointing that out. :pals:

[Dinger]

21. Thank You : )

Friend:pals:

[olkaz]

17. Prove it.

Seriously, I want links and quotes outlining exactly where the threats to her life are coming from.

And once you provide them, I will join you in unilaterally condemning this type of ridiculousness.

I'll be waiting patiently.

[HooptieWagon]

23. Don't hold your breath , though. n/t

[Dinger]

32. You Like This Little Gem?:

at least 50 recs by now. Hey, they LOVE the title!

42. It was clearly used as a verb, here. Do you feel better when you name call? n/t

[Occam Bandage]

45. Clearly? What makes you say that?

[pnwmom]

74. Because otherwise the sentence lacks a verb. n/t

[Occam Bandage]

79. Headlines aren't sentences.

[pnwmom]

91. It doesn't make sense as a headline, but it does as a sentence.

As a really nasty sentence, that is.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

46. Clinton voted against use of cluster bombs in civilian areas

She's ok with dropping these bombs into neighborhoods.
By the way, the "bomblets" are especially evil because some do not explode immediately, all into
neighborhoods, and they happen to resemble MREs (ready to eat meal rations for troops, sometimes given as humanitarian aid).

Clinton, Obama, and Cluster Bombs Posted February 4, 2008

...Over 150 nations have signed the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. It pains me that our great nation has not. But in the autumn of 2006, there was a chance to take a step in the right direction: Senate Amendment No. 4882, an amendment to a Pentagon appropriations bill that would have banned the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas.

Senator Obama of Illinois voted IN FAVOR of the ban.

Senator Clinton of New York voted AGAINST the ban.

Analysts say Clinton did not want to risk appearing "soft on terror," as it would have harmed her electibility.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

20. I guess that wasn't really her in that "red phone" scare commercial then

that person was oh so fearless, and wearing a business suit and sitting at a desk,
right there at 3 frigging AM.

the real Hillary is a rich multi millionaire who has maids to answer her phones.

[Dinger]

34. Not Quite A Cluster Bomb Thing Though

Try again.

[BenDavid]

24. Well, you can't take away peoples right to be assholes....

[Dinger]

37. True

I need that right on a regular basis.:evilgrin:

[Occam Bandage]

38. Indeed you do--especially for this shameful OP.

[Dinger]

67. I Don't See This Thread/Post As Shameful At All (nt)

[Occam Bandage]

69. You've already demonstrated that your perception is cockeyed.

[seabeyond]

30. i havent seen anything threatening, but i am told this is GOOD politics. dirty is good

for real. i was told yesterday by a number of hillary supporters.

[anonymous171]

56. That was before they realized that Clinton is far from invincible.

[backscatter712]

35. self-delete

[Beausoir]

52. You mean the one that wished Obama would stab her to death? Or the one wishing Obama would cut off

her arms?

Or the ones, complete with pictures, of how they would like Obama to beat her to a bloody pulp?

It's hard to keep up with the Obama versions of how they would like to physically hurt Senator Clinton.

[bicentennial_baby]

55. Links, please

:)

[Beausoir]

61. Actual quote here now.

"good. someone buy this man some brass knuckels. and a switchblade
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 06:19 PM by meow mix
and other assorted campaignin gear. they want to bloody us up huh?

i want to see "The Road Warrior Obama "

[Occam Bandage]

65. It's still broken, even after the edit.

[Beausoir]

75. No, it's right there. Care to excuse away that behavior?

[Occam Bandage]

76. I like how you say "no" and then edit it a third time. Classy. Anyway,

no, there's nothing to "excuse." That was a dumb post, and I don't support that poster.

[Beausoir]

82. You want to apologise now? You saw the proof. What do you think about the proof?

Do you agree with those posters?

Sack up. It's a yes or no question.

[Occam Bandage]

86. Apologize? Do you see "Occam Bandage" in that thread?

I'm not going to apologize for the behavior of other people.

That brass-knuckles poster is flamey, and no, I do not support them. The cutting-the-hand-off one is a direct reference to the scene in Star Wars that the OP was referring to, and you simply expose your cultural illiteracy by complaining about that.

She always posts inflammatory crap...and I don't support such posts. Anyone reasonable? :)

[Beausoir]

87. Anyone reasonable who wants to knife Clinton?? You're joking, right?

Jesus Christ. The contortions you will go through to support this kind of misogyny.

If you have any shame left...NOW would be the time to deploy it.

You hate Clinton...fine.

But to support and condone this kind of sickness is..well...it speaks volumes about you.

[Beausoir]

Post 93 "someone buy this man some brass knuckels. and a switchblade"

You got an excuse for that one?

2. Lets just cut her hand off and kick her over the edge

[cottonseed]

77. It's a reference to a scene in Star Wars.

In bad taste. Sure. Threatening physical violence. I'd say not.

[Occam Bandage]

78. I assume you've never seen The Empire Strikes Back.

[WillyT]

58. You Are Correct... I Think That's Really Tasteless...

:evilgrin:

[Dinger]

60. This One's Cool:

[zulchzulu]

59. If you were a soldier and a general praised your enemy, what would you think about that general?

Hillary Clinton clearly has endorsed McCain. Last I checked, he is running AGAINST the Democrats in 2008. She endorsed him. She simply is of the same ilk of Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman...a traitor and a turncoat.

If a general praised openly the enemy in a time of war, the charge of being a traitor would be enforced. The result is not pretty.

Hillary Clinton deserves whatever destiny brings upon her at this point. That means she will drop out in shame. I will make it a point of helping the candidate that runs against her in New York if she tries to run for Senator again.

She is divisive and she is NOT a true Democrat.

[Carolina]

97. excellent points!

[mmonk]

72. You people are crazily spamming hateful messages and insults.

Take a break. We're pretty tired of it.

[ExtraGriz]

93. agree, some of these guys are pretty freaking sick in the head

and holding way too much hate.........feel a little sad for these guys and the people you have driven away.

[Ichingcarpenter]

98. Dinger the bell rings for you

Hillary and Bill are those ones
we have been telling you about
for so many years. And now that truth comes out


If you feel someone "threaten" Hillary by doing a Google bomb
go ahead and call Homeland Security.

I'm sure the Man in black would approve.

[avrdream]

99. Wow, you leave this place for a day....................

I wonder if people know how much trouble they can get in with the FBI for threatening a Presidential candidate?

[Dinger]

100. I Was Wondering The Same Thing (nt)

[Beausoir]

101. I am wondering the exact same thing. Stabbing Clinton? Cutting her arm off?

This has crossed over the line.

[MoonRiver]

102. Exactly.

There are some scary people on GDP lately.

[LostinVA]

104. The SECOND TIME today the following troll has posted this garbage:

128. She's not an Enabler for Lies and Masturbating Bill?
Hell, her husband could not even keep a Law License, Masturbating Bill's Lies became so numerous...

Hell, they, the "team", could not even keep track of all the lies they told and stuff they stole...

Good God, any decent woman would have left Masturbating Bill after about the 203rd girl Masturbating Bill had screwed, and that's not even including the one's in the trailer parks in Tonopah

"Depends on the definition of IS"

Anybody who wants 4 more years let alone 4 more seconds of those scumball Clinton's is CRAZY
copocabana


***************************************

This is crazy. NO ONE but me called him on it, in a thread full of Obama supporetrs -- some of them -- many of them -- people I know ho never used to support this crap.

[MoonRiver]

108. Just unbelievable.

The amazing thing is that some think this is actually helpful to Obama! Some have other agendas, though.

[LostinVA]

109. He's been TS'd

However, he managed to spread that filth around in nine threads and very few people called him on it.

[Beausoir]

110. They have been completely de-sensitized to violent fantasies regarding Clinton.

So much violent, hate filled filth is hurled at her that it is becoming second nature to them.

[Dinger]

111. As Rotten As That Is, I Can't Seem To Exact Revenge, However,

everybody has their limits. I guess I'll know when I reach mine. GDP will too is my guess.
