The Hillarites are showing their fangs
I had this weird feeling yesterday that many of her supporters are paid shills from multinational corporate America. They keep making these snarky, very agressive, sarcastic remarks at anyone who questions their annointed Candidate. Have you noticed that?

I mean, the board has plenty of sarcasm every day, and we do like our battles, but some of what I've seen has been absolutely vicious. I'm not saying that opponents of Hillary can't get carried away, just that the game of Triangulation can only be won by making us surrender our values. Message to Hillaryland: That's not a path to victory. I trust the Board, and the Board is saying very clearly, "Hell, no!"

We can't back down and let them dominate the discussion. This truly is a dry run for campaign season, and MSM and these Hillarites are looking to get it locked up and done before it even starts.

One of the remarks I saw here on a Hillary-related thread said, "Reject all corporatists! I want to go back to living in a thatched hut and churn my own butter." Ha ha. Gee, that must mean that if we call Hillary out as an MSM-Military Industrial Puppet, we want to give up our razor blades, kill our own boar, and live in the bush. Haven't I heard Rush Limbaugh make remarks like that, about anyone who wants a change in how corporations are governed or how they have chosen to govern us?

There is a concerted effort by MSM to convince us that real reform of Amerika, Incorporated is going to set us back instead of move us forward. We CAN have our butter and our homes without serving a self-indulgent Corporately-run empire under an Orwellian state of endless war.

Her "Conversation with America" seems to be an attempt to get DUers to sit down and shut up. I'm not going to, and I hope none of y'all will either.

2. Here's a neat trick
Make a nasty comment about those who are not onboard the Hillary Express and then, when called on it, they claim they were "kidding" and the person calling them on their behavior is just too stupid to "get it". Yeah, uh-huh.

4. Have you noticed that every Dem candidate has supporters who act like this?
And, certaintly, Hillary is not immune to snarky hateful comments about her at DU. Take the OP, for instance.

5. Well I don't see every post on this board
Due to time constraints, but I do check in pretty much every day and Hillary bashing is a lot more common than Hillarites bashing others.

And you can see form my avatar where my loyalties lie.

8. What are you talking about?
Edited on Wed Jan-24-07 10:26 AM by SaveElmer
You have got to be kidding....

Are you seriously saying that the 95% of the people here who despise Hillary CLinton are truly threatened by the 5% of us that support her?

Any disgusting insult of Hillary Clinton is perfectly fine on this board as far as most are concerned, but a whimper of protest from her supporters drives you into a tizzy...to the point where you are calling us operatives...

Man, you need to get a thicker skin!!!

9. I hope the moderators make clear that threads like this one
are not welcome. This is a personal attack. I will vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination, but I prefer most of the other announced candidates over her for the nomination.

Nice triangulation techniques, so far
I seem to have struck a nerve. I pointed out that her votes serve the interests of large corporations and the mainstream media. I also admitted that there is plenty of active, fiery debate from supporters of all candidates. But my theory, that she is using paid shills to denigrate the left flank, probably isn't entirely untrue.

The action on this board tells me that what we see is a dry run for her campaign tactics and I don't believe they are going to work.

10. I don't believe ANY Democratic candidate should be annilated,.......
bashed or discredited on this board. ALL who do the bashing are giving a leg up to the rethugs and jeopardizing 'OUR' win for a Democratic President in 2008. 'WE' don't need a Nader repeat in 2008; GET SMART!!!!!
