What's with the sHillbots' calling Obama supporters Obamaniacs?

[ProSense]

Obama's endorsements and the fact that he's mounting a really impressive campaign must have really gotten inside your heads, not to mention Hillary's two major gaffes today: "Going after people's wages" and comparing Bill to Cheney

[NashVegas]

1. You're Right - I Liked "ObamaBots" Much Better

Seemed more descriptive, somehow.

[QC]

2. I like "Obamatologists."

It captures the creepily cultish nature of the whole thing.

[tandem5]

51. what about O-bots? nt

[rug]

55. Obamaton.

[maddiejoan]

3. I prefer calling them

Obamanoids

[annie1]

19. how about...

Obaminards. :D

[maddiejoan]

22. I like when they call themselves

The Obamanation.

'Cos I don't think they get how that sounds.

[annie1]

27. lol.

[CorpGovActivist]

4. Can you only imagine...

... the outcry if HilBorg caught on?

[LiberalHeart]

7. Oh, STOP it. Obama's a GREAT candidate -- for the GOP.

[LiberalHeart]

8. Obamadrama in the threads again, I see.

[CorpGovActivist]

11. What's the matter with generating excitement...

... for progressive ideas?

Better than Hillaryocrisy, any day of the week, and - yup, it's still Sunday - twice on Sunday.

- Dave

[LiberalHeart]

16. I'm not supporting Hillary.

I don't have a dog in this fight anymore. Mine ran away with his tail between his legs after promising to stay in thru the convention.

Seeing the GOP support for Obama is not exciting; it's scary.

[CorpGovActivist]

47. Seeing the independent progressives' support for Obama...

... makes you feel?

- Dave

[CorpGovActivist]

9. I'm capable of reading her record for myself, and interpreting it ...

... in terms of both my own self-interest, and in terms of societal-level altruism, thank you very much.

I'm not prone to assimilation, either.

- Dave

[truedelphi]

17. About a week ago, I started having horror story kind of dreams

And what was chasing me looked a lot like your portrayal.

Maybe I have read too much David Ickes!

[CorpGovActivist]

46. LOL...

... even reptiles have feelings. Crocodile tears?

- Dave

[CorpGovActivist]

50. Alice Krige should sue.

[smalll]

5. I prefer "Obamatrons."

GOMAMA seems to have really gotten inside your heads, what with the mutliple threads whining about it. Also, if Obama wins, who will be HIS Cheney? Axelrod most likely, unless Oprah can seize the strings for herself.

[jillan]

6. Personally I prefer Obamites.

[ProSense]

10. Personally, I'm surprised

this thread and the others are still open. Have you alerted on any of them?

Where the hell are the moderators?

[jillan]

12. Personally I surprised that

oh never mind!

[never_get_over_it]

40. Shit if I was a moderator in this insane asylum

I'd be drinking heavily - I've been on DU almost since the beginning and there have been times that it has been bad but man this takes the cake - maybe I'll go have a drink....

[donheld]

13. I don't give a damn what they call me n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

14. and nobody's ever used a disparaging term for Clinton supporters...

:eyes:

[NastyRiffraff]

15. Yeah, I can't understand why people who are called "sHillbots"

would give a stupid name to the other candidate's suporters. How dare they! :sarcasm:

BTW, I don't have a dog in this particular fight. But really, the OP's title is...er....interesting.

[annie1]

18. yeah, those damn socialists wanting everyone to be covered. Barack Reagan Obama...

will save us from those nasty socialists like hillary trying to take our wages. thank goodness for barack. Bring back McClurkin! maybe reagan would agree with him on that angle too.

[Jed Dilligan]

21. Socialism for the benefit of corporations

Isn't that called national socialism, annie?

[annie1]

29. that's how we get insurance in this country, through corperations.

[Jed Dilligan]

33. That's how you get it

I don't, because I can't afford it and I don't want the government telling me I can at the expense of things that actually make me feel healthy (organic food, Chinese medicine).

[annie1]

36. so when you get hit by a car, is your chinese medicine gonna set your leg? ..

b/c if it doesn't (and i'm pretty sure it won't) then our government will have to foot the bill. instead of YOU footing the bill.

[Jed Dilligan]

39. Do you actually understand how govt. provided healthcare works?

If you have ANY earnings at all for the rest of your life, they are taken away from you. You have fallen for a RW myth about "deadbeats." Besides, even if I had health insurance a major accident would bankrupt me. A 10K debt versus a 60K--all the same, I'm screwed one way or the other.

[annie1]

41. if i have to have my leg set i'm covered. if you opt in you are covered too...

if you do not have insurance you will not be covered. then if you sign up and are fined, what? $500, $1,000, that's not going to cover what you didn't put in.

[Jed Dilligan]

43. You don't get it.

Uninsured people who receive care take on the debt. With any insurance I can afford, an incident like you describe would still bankrupt me. And there's no way in hell Hillary's plan will change that if she is involving the ins. co's.

[CorpGovActivist]

48. Never, never, never...

... take on a Neverland dweller that doesn't understand HillaryCare Null.0.

Losing battle.

- Dave

[AGirl]

32. "universal health care is part of the excesses Kumbaya doesn't like"

[yardwork]

20. Would that be the "Hillypoo" that a new DUer referenced today?

I think that most people agree that calling one's opponents stupid names probably undermines their own credibility. There are a lot of new visitors to DU lately.

[tammywammy]

23. The name calling is stupid

That's why I've never done it. And there are a lot of new people too, you're right.

[yardwork]

45. When the dust settles and the primaries are over, I'm going to continue to respect

a lot of Obama supporters, like yourself, who didn't engage in nasty name-calling. Others, not so much.

[Bluebear]

24. I like "Obama Nation"

;)

[ErnestoG]

25. It's a holdover from Dean in 2004. They want to lose again, I guess.

[ArkySue]

26. Are you gonna cry?

Does that hurt your poor widdle feelings??? HAAAhahahahahaha!!

[CorpGovActivist]

53. .

[Bodhi BloodWave]

28. Personally i like it, tho that might be due to liking wrestling

After all Hulk Hogan has Obama's back so Hulkamaniacs and Obamaniacs unite :)

[AGirl]

30. I like calling them Kumbaya supporters. I love it!

[MonkeyFunk]

31. Interesting

you spend what appears to be 23 hours a day posting flamebait bullshit against Clinton, but "Obamaniacs" crosses the line in your book?

I hope it bothers you. I may start using the term just to annoy you.

[jwirr]

34. Back to the fact that the Dean supporters were called deaniacs?

[Redstone]

35. So, let's see: You bitch about the term "Obamaniacs," while you use the term "sHillbots?"

You're losing your grip, here. You complaine about name-calling by calling names yourself?

You'd be funny, if you weren't so pathetic.

Redstone

[ProSense]

42. Yes, have you alerted on those or this thread or

are you just joining in with the pile-on and pretend you give a damn crowd?

[Sanctified]

37. Well at least we are not being called Obamanations. n/t

[emilyg]

38. Stop it.

[Spiffarino]

44. I thought being a "Deaniac" was pretty cool

I don't care what others thought of the connotation. I admired Dean...and still do. If I got a little crazy about him, sue me.

[LittleClarkie]

49. Dude? Did you mean to be ironic?

What's with those (insult) supporters calling the other (insult) supporters names?

[ProSense]

52. Yeah, don't you find it ironic

that this thread (given the call out in the title) and similar ones aren't locked immediately?

What happened to the rules?

[LittleClarkie]

54. I think the mods are at a loss sometimes

To delete half the board, or not delete half the board.
