Hillbots

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I was thinking about all the names Rethuglicans give to Democrats,i.e. DemoRats, Defeatocrats, Deathocrats...

And the special name they give to posters at DU -DUmmies..

Next time you call somebody a Hillbot think about that...

[yourout]

1. I prefer Hillshills.

4. .

[no name no slogan]

2. Nice post, Hitler-y

(I keed, I keed)

[TSIAS]

3. What about the others

Obamanation, Idolers, etc.

Would be nice if we could have civility, but it's funny to hear this coming from the Clinton camp.

8. I Would Never Stereotype A Whole Group Of People

That's about the most (il)liberal thing a person can do...

[ElizabethDC]

5. I just don't understand the need to call names at all

It just seems really immature to me. :shrug:

6. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it?

[mtnsnake]

7. I don't mind being called a Hillbot

Kind of like it, actually :shrug:

[sniffa]

9. Hillroids is funnier

[Skip Intro]

12. Odrama queens is a pretty good one too.

[Lucinda]

17. I've missed that one somehow. :)

[Adelante]

19. Heh

That's pretty good :D

[sniffa]

21. ooh, very good

:rofl:

[Kahuna]

38. 'Odrama?' That's a good one!

by an Obama supporter.

[niceypoo]

41. OMG that is so fitting

Given that Obamas supporters are so overly hypersensitive and always running around yelling, "The sky is falling! the sky is falling!!"

[last1standing]

13. Ok, I hate the name calling, but "Hillroids" and "ObamaNation" are clever.

Still shouldn't be used.....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. So Is DUmmy

But it's not very nice...

Oh, I don't see ObamaNation as an epithet...

It's a sports term like Raider Nation for Raider fans...

[last1standing]

10. And don't forget the hateful names the supporters of other candidates are called.

Its an equal problem that does very little to help DU or the respective candidates. I just wish those who do it would realize what their hate does in turning people away from those they supposedly support.

15. Remember "Deaniacs"? It will never change.

People are people. This is not that important in the grand scheme of things.

[bunnies]

16. I was proud to be a Deaniac.

Still am. Just saying. nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Me too. Just saying.

Sorry you mistook my post, which is pretty much what everyone is doing to everyone else these days, eh???

In case you're not "sure"...these are my children. :eyes:

[bunnies]

25. lol. :) How cute!!!

I didnt think you meant it in a negative way though. I should have been more clear given the current atmosphere of this place. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. I'm sorry too bunnies...

It why I should just stay away. :hug:

I'm not who I used to be anymore and end up taking most things the wrong way. Apologies.

[bunnies]

31. No, No, No.

You shouldnt stay away. Even mini-conversations like ours, where perceived differences are overcome, are the the things that keep me posting here... despite the bullshit. :toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. I've been here too long. There really isn't anything here for me

anymore. I shared this site with my husband. Can't be here without him. 4 years was a long enough run.

[bunnies]

39. Ive been reading this board since 2003....

And had to get away from it for about 6 months before I finally joined. Its really disheartening to be here sometimes. I definitely know how you feel. But please know that there are people like me who sincerely hope you'll stick around. Another :hug:.

[ScreamingMeemie]

43. I appreciate that.

But there is no place for me here anymore and I'm not really happy when I'm here. I've done the breaks, but this is different. Too different. It is losing your life.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. It's In The Eyes Of The Beholder

A bot is a machine as in an adbot...Calling somebody a bot is like calling somebody a drone...

I don't see Deaniac or ObamaNation as pejorative...


I am a big Heat fan...My handle at ESPN used to be HeatNation... But I canned it because it was cliched...

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. The best part is, I don't give a damn anymore. People always do this

always will...it's all the same. End story.

[Adelante]

23. I tend toward "Edwardians" "Clintonians" "Bidenites" etc. for some reason

But I don't consider it in the same category as whoever-bots, etc. I found "ObamaNation" quite painful for a while. After seeing it a hundred times or so I was able to ignore it. If it rocks somebody's boat to say such a childish thing, oh well, what can I say.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Why Is Obama Nation Pejorative?

Oakland Raider fans call themselves Raider Nation:

[Kucinich4America]

29. Ever read the book of Leviticus?

There's a word that sounds a lot like "ObamaNation" used in about every other sentence there. And it ain't complimentary.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. Now I Get It-TY

No...That's messed up...

[bunnies]

33. Obamanation... Abomination . See? nt

[Adelante]

35. Say it out loud to yourself

I think you'd get it then.

[rAVES]

26. Its only about 3 people working under multiple accounts.. $hillbots it is.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. They Are Very Clever Then...Because Their Internet Personnas Are Quite Different

And some have been here since the board was formed...

[rAVES]

30. Never struck me as clever, Brainwashed? yes.

[Perry Logan]

34. Next week they'll be releasing the Nexus 6 generation of Hillaroids.

[Kahuna]

37. Sticks and stones. Get over it. nt

[Kurovski]

40. "Hillaryworlders" has a nicer sound.

It takes a Global village.

[Kurovski]

42. And this OP is a stealth way to deliver the repeated tactical message that

those who oppose a Clinton nomination are "as bad as repubs", or are "Freepers".

Sen. Clinton is more to the right than most who would call an obsessive volunteer operative a "Hillbot".
