"Fuck NAFTA asshole Bill Clinton"

[denem]

No, NOT my comment, merely the last of thousands of pithy pejoratives thrown into 'Clinton' threads, almost any Bill Clinton thread. It's Pavlovian.

If Bill ate a BLT sandwich, we would criticism his speaking tours for bringing home the bacon.

The OP comment is from a thread (not here) Clinton lobbying the Senate Democratic Caucus, spelling out to them the politics in 2010 and beyond if Health Reform dies in the Senate.

1. DU shouldn't be bashing Clinton, Obama or Kucinich the way many do.

[depakid]

3. Fact is that Clinton furthered Republican policies in a way that Republicans couldn't do themselves

And made the country a LOT worse off in the process.

14. Yes, Clinton was mistaken to support NAFTA

Clinton, however, passed NAFTA with the help of Democrats such as Kennedy, Kerry, and VP Biden. Other Democrats don't seem to get criticism for their support of NAFTA.

2. Each of us is remembered by those things we do in our life

Bill did some things that will forever mark him as far from the kind of President he could have been if he had remained liberal once in office.

4. Now this post is pure Flame bait.

8. Except, there's nothing cynical about it.

Once in a while, I am revolted by visceral hate. Clinton is going to the senate to talk the Real Politik. So? So lets flick the switch to bile and venom. Enough.

5. Your subject line is misleading and offensive

and not neccessary. Shame on you.:spank:

[denem]

6. No. It was the comment that was offensive - tawdry, and foul

in the way that hatered finds natural expression. And no, not misleading: It's in quotes, a OP about knee jerk bile that floods Free Republic. No better than FReepers? You tell me.

7. You've never seen anyone say "Fuck Obama" around here? I have.

Or is that OK because they reserve the right to criticize the President?

:eyes:

[denem]

9. HA! You know, I wish we could search "Fuck (name)"

and get the number of hits for DU, then create a comparison table.

My guess: Democrats rule the top ten.

My point - Clinton is stumping for health care so Fuck NAFTA asshole Bill. It's that Freeper archetype jump that perhaps only visceral hatred makes natural, at least for the barely sane.

[denem]

10. Summary: This OP is about knee jerk bile. Think Free Republic

Tawdry, foul, hate drenched outbursts that have NOTHING to do with the subject matter at hand. It's Pavlovian and so pervasive it's hardly even noticed. Once in a while, revulsion get the better of me.

End.

11. They come to distract us, to confuse us, to Divide us....they are the scum of the Earth..worse than

Smegma

FUCK THE GOP and their maniac friends

[ClarkUSA]

12. Welcome to Obama Supporters' World 24/7 at DU. Not that you have ever cared about Obama "bile". nt

[CreekDog]

13. To anybody who talks like that about Clinton, Obama, me or you

if i'm undecided on that issue and you make that argument (with the swearing and over the top name-calling), i start siding against you.

and spite is a mighty powerful weapon! :D
