Still believe there is no such thing as Hillary "haters" on DU?

[Clintonista2]

So after this hostage situation came out, what is the first reaction of the haters? "It's probably a Hillary plant trying to get some free publicity."

Wait, that's "legitimate criticism," not "hatred" right? :crazy:

3. Thanks ...

:hi:

WHAT AN ASSHOLE!

[ronnykmarshall]

4. I'll second that

[Benhurst]

11. I think that post was meant to be sarcastic.

Probably should have used the :sarcasm: Smilie the way things have gotten around here as of late.

(In reference to your link in #2)

[Warpy]

18. Agreed! That smilie should be used more often

and I use it whenever I use sarcasm because I know from bitter experience that sarcasm translates very poorly to print and even when it's over the top, somebody out there will miss the point.

5. I can throw Hillary a lot farther than I trust her BUT

that comment really was way, way, way beyond the pale. Believe me. I am not a Clinton fan. But some of the crap people spew about her just amazes me.

[LSK]

6. who said there was no Hillary "haters" on DU???

Where do you come up with this stuff?

:wtf:

(That's just one example, of course)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. "why not just deal honestly?"

Why indeed?

[LSK]

14. so a thread asking for Hillary hating to stop is evidence that people deny it happens?

I dont follow the logic?

[Clintonista2]

17. The thread was about not using the term "Hillary hater" because "Hillary haters" don't exist

according to the OP of that post, "Hillary haters" are just people who criticise her.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Why would I? I hate Hillary.

No, that's not legitimate criticism.

The legitimate criticism is her support for the war, her treatment of homosexuals, her stance on the first amendment, and so on.

:shrug:

[EFerrari]

9. I don't think it's about HRC. Some posters just need somewhere to put their hate. nt

[AuntPatsy]

13. I think it is, sadly I think some simply parot what they hear from the media without realizing

that after hearing such repeatedly that Hillary is hated they themselves begin to voice the same rhetoric without any real knowledge.

I am not saying that HC doe not have her downfalls but the way some people go on, its obvious they actually no little about say her past voting record or her stances on any one given issue, its kind of sad.

[jaysunb]

19. I don't think it's about hate as much as it is

a display of immaturity....and it's not just Sen Clinton either,the same thing happens w/ Obama.

Having been here as long as you and I have, I think it's safe to say, it happens every election cycle, but this one is the worst by far. :evilfrown:

[EFerrari]

22. That's probably right. It's not hatred per se but reactivity.

Thank God I never do that. :evilgrin:

[jaysunb]

23. he he...

I'm giving you a pass on that one.

Happy Holidays :hi:

[EFerrari]

26. I consider myself gifted.

Back atcha. :hi:

[still_one]

12. I agree. What is also amazing is that by personally attacking instead of debating issues

does not reflect well, and does more to alieinate, than convience someone why your position is better

[Forkboy]

15. There's haters for every candidate here.

Hillary is a big girl, she can take it. What I find funny is people who see only the hate directed at the person they like and not the hate that gets lobbed at everyone, especially any of the top tier candidates.I see it thrown at everyone here...you see only the Hillary hatred. :shrug:

For the record, the comment you link to is pretty pathetic, and not unexpected, but I do think you'd see one or two people making comments like that no matter who the situation revolved around.

[Mojambo]

36. Exactly. n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

16. Surely whoever said that was joking.

[H2O Man]

20. It would be gross

of anyone to try to use this in a cheap political manner.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. LOL

[Perry Logan]

24. In fairness, people are apt to doubt anything that happens these days.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

25. Oh I don't believe that.

[Prophet 451]

27. Yeah, some of it's hatred

But, based on personal observation, an equal (or possibly larger) amount is Hillary supporters calling anyone who criticises her a hater.

[havocmom]

41. Yep.

That has been my observation also. Critics of HRC too often personally attacked instead of their reasoning debated. That too oft' used tactic is pure and simple attempted intimidation of dissent. It smacks of: 'if you're against bush/war, you're for terrorists' tactics of the anti-democracy idgets in the WH and DOD right now.

[timtom]

28. The post has been deleted

I'm assuming post #10 was the one in question.

What'd it say? Could someone pm me?

Thanks in advance.

[Alexander]

29. And the Hillary shills claimed it was a "Hillary hater", which they call the liberal DUers.

So go ahead, blame this one on liberal Democrats. You're only making people more pissed off at you and your flawed candidate.

Beats me why we can't just be happy no one seems hurt yet and hope for the best.

[cali]

30. This is probably not a good time to be calling her supporters

And I can't be happy until this is over and all the hostages ar4e safe. But I agree that this thread was ill conceived.

[ronnykmarshall]

33. .....

ain't worth it

[HughMoran]

39. You're just full of lovelyness

Who the fuck was talking to you anyway? lol

[snooper2]

31. Since when are trolls considered "du'ers"

nt

[Javaman]

32. Naaa, it just brought out all the closeted freeps. nt

[TahitiNut]

34. Well, everyone knows there's no rational reason to be opposed to Hillary..

:eyes:

[YoungDUer]

35. If someone thinks that a candidate will kill people

and doesn't want those people to die, they have a right to hate on the candidate. It's not like Hillary is getting her feelings hurt.

[Catherine Vincent]

38. I knew you were a troll.

LOL!

40. Killary?

:rofl:

You're a nut job!

[iamthebandfanman]

37. i dunno

whats sillier, them saying crazy things like that or you insinuating all hillary dissenters are full of hatred.


maybe you should look at yourself before commenting on other peoples actions.

[Clintonista2]

42. Hillary "dissenters"?

See, you're falling into the familiar trap. I'm talking about the haters. People who truly HATE Hillary. I've been told that they don't exist, and that I am simply calling "dissenters" haters. I don't consider legitimate critisicm to be hatred, I consider statements like: "The hostage taker is probably a paid Hillary operative, trying to get her campaign some sympathy in NH" to be hatred.
