As an Obama supporter : Can you guys please stop using the word : "Hillbot"

[UndertheOcean]

It is rude and unnecessary, and lowers the level of conversation.

Can't we simply respect each other.

That goes with "Obamaniac" or such too Hillary supporters.

2. Why don't we start making people donate 5 bucks to DU everytime they use a name like that?

Shame them.

Most of them aren't donators anyway, so this is a way to pick their pockets.

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

3. Agreed

Agreed, Agreed, Agreed.

[EmilyAnne]

4. Rather, I won't ever start using it! Its not helpful at all.

[Drachasor]

5. Agreed. We should treat everyone as a person. Derogatory names are not needed.

Personally I despise it when people called Republicans "repukes" or the like as well. It is also not helpful in any way.

9. I gotta go to sleep.

See ya.

[WinkyDink]

7. You have pointed out something: There will be precious little reconciliation between the camps.

[Danger Mouse]

10. I don't use them.

Unfortunately, Obamaniac, Obamanation, Obamite, Obamababy, cultist, etc. etc. are still all too common.

[anonymous171]

11. I don't know, I kind of liked "Obamaton"

[AJH032]

12. I'm a Hillary supporter and I agree

Obamaniac and Hillbot (and anything of the sort) are completely unnecessary.

[Jennifer C]

13. Absolutely agree

:thumbsup:

[shaniqua6392]

14. I have noticed progressive radio hosts

calling people who like Clinton things like...Clintonistas...Clintonites, etc. Then they will refer to Obama supporters as...Obama supporters. I am not a supporter of a particular candidate, but I still find it offensive to call names like that. It is so petty and I have been ashamed of some of the hosts like Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Stephanie Miller, etc. I can not even listen to them any more. As for stopping the name calling on DU...Good luck with that.

[indimuse]

26. I hearing that more and more..

as...I am one of the people who will not listen to ANY of them again. Very disturbing how they have changed..I was a dedicated All day listener too..I'm on the road a lot...


Here's a new one to me :::: Obamessiah saw it yesterday..

[Perry Logan]

15. Name-calling is the least of the Obamadroid offenses.

[shadowknows69]

16. I was going to agree but someone has to be there to counter Perry

Hill-bot

[Perry Logan]

20. Obabavator. Obamaphile. Obamatarian.

[shadowknows69]

22. I like Obamatarian

Sounds scholarly

[Perry Logan]

25. Obamatarian: a student of Obamatology.

[From The Left]

17. Kumbaya, Kumbaya

[MadBadger]

18. I havent in a couple months. I hate it all.

[Jersey Devil]

19. I prefer "Clintonista"

I rather enjoy being an "Obamaniac"

[Perry Logan]

23. I like "Oompahloompah."

[niceypoo]

35. Clintonista was Rush Limbaughs term for liberals in the 90s

the implication being that all Democrats are communists.

My, oh my.

[quantass]

21. Question: Does 'Hillbot' mean they are Robot/Drone cult-like followers of Hillary?

Sorry, i am a bit slow..thanks for the explanation.

[Perry Logan]

24. Not to be mistaken for "Hillborg."

[LostinVA]

27. I 100% agree

I hate ALL the "cute" nicknames, even for opposition party candidates (ie McCain). It's unnecessarily divisive and more than a bit middle school.

Great post. K&R!!!

[izzybeans]

28. I would like to see every post deleted that uses those words, suspensions too.

[musicblind]

29. I agree, suspensions and deleted posts would do the trick

those words and not acceptable from either side.

[yardwork]

30. I agree. Let's all stop calling one another names. Good idea.

[JohnnyLib2]

31. I agree, both ways. It's such a tainted and simplified way to

communicate.

[calico1]

32. Thank you.

I don't think that there is anything about Freepers we need to admire to be behaving like them.

:hi:

[tandot]

33. As a Hillary supporter, I wish DUers wouldn't use the words

Obamabot, Obamatron, Cult or cultists, and other deriding words when talking about Obama supporters.

And, I wish more Obama supporters would speak up if someone calls Hillery "Hitlery" and other terms comparing her to Nazis.

[sniffa]

34. Sure

except for the ones who deserve it.

[mopinko]

36. yeah like the ones that really are.

the low postcount, no profile shit stirrers, spouting the slime du jour, that have infected this community. not call them what they are? not bloody likely.
look, words are all we have here. we are not going to give them up.

[Adelante]

37. I don't call anybody here names

Except once in a while "asshole" having nothing to do with candidate choice.
