Stop it Now!

for starters:

stop bashing Hillary Clinton, blaming the Iraq invasion on her, calling her a freeper, saying she's using freeper talking points....

Hillary is an outstanding progressive democrat, she's a fighter, a brilliant policy wonk, she fights it out and accomplishes much to improve ordinary americans' lives

some of you Obama supporters are relentless in your hatred of Hillary

you attack her every chance you get, parts of this DU are a cesspool of hatred

hey---i've skimmed through right wing blogs and seen the kinds of evil S%#@ they spew at Hillary, they've done this for YEARS.....

many of you Obama supporter folks on DU, you sound just like those right wing trash types, you are saying the same things as they've said for years...

you make up LIES about her....like bashing her universal health insurance here.....truth is it's way better than leaving out 15 million Americans........and NO ONE will have to pay if they can't afford it.....they will get gov't subsidies......hers is a way better plan than starting out negotiating from an already weakened position.....

you folks have such a double standard....you lie and say she endorsed McCain.....

she did NOT endorse McCain.....she praised his years of service and his military history.....do you have a problem with that? He has a decent immigration stance, and he is a war hero, do you have a problem with that?

Obama has spoken of wanting to reach across the aisle to Republicans, to have a post-partisan administration.....but imagine reaching across the aisle to the likes of folks who implemented the Bush tax cuts, who have rolled back environmental protections to pre 1970s levels? imagine the thought of making nicey nice with the likes of those who have busted unions, upheld strike breakers, and who fight to eliminate a mimimum wage and other worker protections!

where was your OUTRAGE when your candidate praised the Reagan era as the era of stimulating ideas and good feelings?????

what a HORRRIBLE ERA to praise as a good time in American History.....of ALL the NAMES to mention....why not cite Roosevelt and the era of the New Deal????????

WHERE WAS YOUR OUTRAGE???? or maybe you have never read ANY history and never heard of the New Deal?????

STOP bashing Hillary about Nafta....Hillary did not author or implement Nafta.....not only that, but Obama himself is on record for PRAISING NAFTA's consequences for America....Obama is not really a protectionist like Gephardt was....and Obama knows, just like so many others do, that you can't re-negotiate or withdraw from Nafta.....Bill Clinton fought to have labor and environmental side agreements added to Nafta....Bill did NOT author Nafta....Reagan did, and so did poppy Bush, Mulroney, and Salinas

and while we're at it....Obama has also favored the new trade accord with Peru (but conveniently did not actually vote for or against it)

So STOP IT, STOP BASHING HILLARY, you are not democrats!!!!!!!!!!

second point:

It's really sad how this democratic nominating process has evolved.....

the problem is, we have two excellent candidates now....

it's sad that if one or the other is selected, half of the dems are going to feel tremendously disappointed and perhaps bitter, possibly to the point of not voting.....let's hope no one is so immature as to sit out the election and allow 4 more years of republican destruction....but it's a possibilty....
