I just can't believe the irrational hate for Hillary on this board. Can't wait until she wins the primary and they have to STFU.

But some of it is so ridiculous that I'm embarrassed for them.

I am beginning to think RW spends lots of trolls here. Who doesn't want Hillary to run most, the GOP most of all.

7. I agree, but how to filter them out is the problem.

I think some have substantial post counts and it's apparently AOK to bash Dems, including President Obama, on DU. There will be an enforced hiatus when she is nominated, but after she wins the presidency it will start up all over again. Sigh.

9. The host here on the Hillary group are very diligent on keeping the trash out, when I look at a post

where trash is happening it is the same names over and over like a feeding frenzy. I don' know if there is a thought many can be convinced to follow them but for me it is the opposite. I have been a Democrat all my life and do not plan to change. I want the smartest and experienced person for our next president, there are issues which has to be met head on in the next few years and surely do not need the GOP in charge.

same ones baiting & stirring up crap. I think they do so to keep their Hillary Hate Club posts up on top. I am staying out of the mess.

Am going to happily look forward to Hillary's 2016 announcement & simply leave the bitter haters behind.
They have nothing..
Nothing at all.

11. I already feel a lot of stress relief from not being in the middle of all that hate.

Constructive discussions and differences of opinion are one thing, but the degree of Hillary hate is over the top and totally irrational.
