Call me silly but 2004 was never that evil over in GD/GDP

[LynneSin]

I mean we all had our favorites but there was at least some civility between the various supporters for folks like Dean, Clark, Kucinich, Kerry, Lieberman (yeah there were a few) et al.

What the hell happened in 4 years?

1. People are hungry and desperate for change

Seven years of Bush has taken its toll on everyone.

Not that it's an excuse.

But since Bush has been in office, civility has gone down the drain at a rapid pace and everyone's feeling the heat.

2. I doubt you can point to any one thing.

It's probably a combination of factors. Trolls, a more desperate need to win this year, more voices clamoring in different directions, ect.

And of course there are a few borderline trolls that have managed to not quite cross the lines too far and have not yet been booted.

4. Hillary Clinton wasn't running in 2004.

she seems to get people from left to right frothing at the mouth.

6. People swore she was running even after the convention

Some people are just nutz!

5. It's all Lee Mercer's fault.
