Every 5 Minutes -- Like Clockwork, A New Toxic Post From The Hillarites |
|
Can you post anything positive about YOUR candidate? Or, is the desperation of negative campaigning all that you have?

6. I was going to say "DU", but I thought "this forum" sounded more meaningful |
|
In that we all feel part of a larger whole, an important information sharing forum on the internet.

4. The persecution of the Tibetans is genocidal. |

The Olympics should be boycotted for that alone.

8. I did do a positive post and it sank like a stone. |
|
No flame bait to respond to, and people aren't that interested in reasons somebody supports the other candidate unless they can shoot it down. Besides, I'm not a blind follower, I see the faults in her and the virtues in Obama, so supporters of either side are unthrilled.
But if I post that now I'm switching to Obama I bet I'd get 20 recs within minutes.

11. Thanks for the response. |

I am sorry to frame the OP the way I did. 99% of Ops that I start are positive, and alas, they too sink like a rock...

10. Please remember to "Let it Sink"!!! |

As another poster said---let these orchestrated attacks sink.
If we don't respond, we starve the beast.
Don't take the bait.

12. My observation is that everytime someone tries |
|
they get slapped silly in gd:p.
There are people just waiting to be the first one to click on a piece so they can deliver the first pile of hate.
Interesting thing happened recently. A Clinton supporter put up a really good piece about a Clinton campaign stop with great pictures. Absolutely nothing negative in there. The response was so overwhelming and hateful, that he self-deleted it and left for a while.
Same poster, now back, did a very similar piece on Obama yesterday. When I last looked, it remained pretty pristine.
Oh, and did you see the one about the little girls that went out to see Clinton and talked about how inspired they were? The responses were loathsome.
I know there are some pretty hateful Clinton fans here, but it is nothing compared to the pile-on that takes place when a positivie Clinton piece gets posted.
Why would someone subject themselves to that?

15. I did see the Op with the pics of the little girls. |
|
That was a sorry event... as are many of the OPs and posts. I absolutely understand your point of view.

20. Mostly freeper trolls, "doing a Limbaugh" |
|
Clinton's support in the real world may be a half mile wide, but it is only an inch deep. There just aren't that many people who feel passionately that she should be the one. Many have voted for her because of the familiarity of name recognition.
You simply don't see many examples here where supposed Clinton supporters have actually been out doing anything. All they do is type on keyboards evidently. In contrast, you see hundreds of examples where long-time posters here at DU are telling personal stories of their own hands-on activities in support of the Obama campaign.
At this point we're reasonably safe to start with an assumption that any relatively new poster here advocating Clinton is a troll just trying to stir up the shit, and should be ignored. Indeed, to the extent that there are a few legitimate Clinton supporters actively posting here, they have had their say. Anything of substance that needed to be said has been said. I'd suggest that everyone aggressively use the ignore function on anybody starting new cat fighting threads that have no substantial content of useful, new information.

21. I am tending to use the hide thread function mostly. |
|
If the topic is one that has been rehashed, it simply is hidden. I only have 3 posters on full ignore, but I do keep track of about 200 posters by using the disable PM function.
However, some days I think I am just masochistic in paying far too much attention to "all of it"

25. Do you not see the threads bashing Hillary, or don't they count? |
|
The Obamabots have been calling her every name in the book for months, and you see poor victimized Obama as the one to pity.
You know, if this didn't involve the future of the nation and if I didn't see right through the marketing tornado that is Obama, I might be inclined to have a sip or two of that stuff, just for the trip, you know. But it seems to lead to long term blindness, and I really want no part of that.
You are the attackers you've been waiting for. And as Hillary Clinton is slimed non-stop on this board, pay no attention, she deserves it after all. She's soooooo evil.
Keep on keeping on. God Damn America!
