The new Hillbot tactic
Since they can only start 3 threads a day, and since they love recycling the same old things, it seems there is a concerted effort to kick their tired old threads to keep them near the top. That's why my new best friend is the hide thread button (I'll read every thread, so I don't ignore anyone -- but the old stuff is ridiculous). Rather like their candidate, they love the sound of their own voice, I guess.

1. They're your fellow DUers and fellow Democrats
Nice attempt to demonize though...

:sarcasm:

8. Well...this stuff is unfortunate.
Barack Obama could very well be the nominee. And while the Obama campaign has done some breathtakingly stupid, insensitive things (cough, cough, Donnie McClurkin, cough cough), I will vote for Obama in the general election.

But the Obama supporters, with this kind of crap, are making it very difficult.

11. No, Not Really
There are people on all sides who come here *only* for the campaign season. *Only* for the primaries, and as soon as the nominee is settled, they'll be gone until late 2011 / early 2012. They're the ones writing the vast majority of the offensive threads and posts.

4. I knew this was going to be a problem..Please though stop calling them names
They aren't stupid or bad or evil.
They just have their own views on who they want as President.
You can disagree as I do with them.
I find that there are maybe 20-30 here on both sides who are engaged in a "top this" unproductive Jihad against each other.
They are wasting time arguing over this when to really help their choice they should be out knocking on doors and registering voters.
Crazy names are a tactic of the right you know like Feminazis, Clintoon ..etc
We are better than that....

5. Rove has to so proud of them
They learned well and it took so little for them to go over to the dark side.

6. You can also just change the order of the threads
Have them listed from when they were started, rather when the last time a hillary hound bumped it.

10. I presume I am one you are speaking about
I didn't kick the thread to kick the thread. I did so to answer a post, which I presumed to be the purpose of a discussion board. Sorry, I didn't realize that discussion wasn't the purpose of this board. As to why the delay I was living my life, I know shame on me on that too. Believe it or not, not everything is a conspiracy against St. Obama.

12. The view from the other side is quite different...
Any question of Obama and the Obama supporters
pile on the thread and fling ugly remarks. Even
pooping on 'feel good' threads started by Hillary
supporters for Hillary supporters. Being that the
Obama supporters far outnumber the Hillary supporters
here, there is more of it coming from the Obama side
than the Hillary side if you take into consideration
the replies and subthreads.
It is all subject to perception from an individuals
point of view. Yours is overtly biased from the onset
when you refer to Hillary supporters as Hillbots.
