I'm an Obama supporter but I continue to be a little shocked by the Rethug language used on Hillary.

[Cruzan]

It all seems straight out of Limbaugh and the Drudge Report, which absolutely never before this election were quoted as sources on DU. The Drudge Report in particular I don't recall ever getting a mention in any context before this election. And now suddenly their language is all over the place. What the fuck is up with that? Isn't there enough to use to go after Hillary without resorting to Rethug crap like "Billary" and "Slick-Hillary"? DU doesn't need cut and pastes from Freeper posts.

1. Fair is fair, according to HRC supporters.

The GOP will say those things in the fall, so it's best we air it out now.

[Mooney]

10. Nice.

Thank you for saying that. I'm going to repeat that constantly.

[Cant trust em]

13. Sounds about right.

[Raine]

32. True. nt

[Tinksrival]

36. She set the tone....

When she aligned herself with McCain. It was unmistakable and when she lost my support.

[cliffordu]

2. Well...

Is it ok if I call her a trite afterthought??

[leftofcool]

3. Some Obama supporters love to quote the freepers

makes them feel better about their candidate

[maximusveritas]

5. Yep. And Hillary supporters have never quoted the freepers

or referred to Obama as Barry or Barack Hussein Obama of Barack H. Obama. That simply doesn't happen around here.

[Mooney]

11. Don't forget "B. Hussein Obama"!

Yup. No Hillary supporter would ever use freeperish language about Obama.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5524880&mesg_id=5524880

Yup. Never would happen.

[Seeker30]

Well that is his name

Why are you so embarrassed by it? What are you trying to hide?

[FrenchieCat]

4. Hillary appears to have support from Limbaugh, Drudge, Fox News, Hannity,

Scaiffe, WSJ, National Review, etc., etc., etc.

So maybe that's why.

Oh and....

[Exilednight]

20. and even though the NY Times endorsed Clinton, they now seem to have buyers remorse. n/t

[napoleon_in_rags]

29. Hillary and Obama have "support" from wingers...

The kind of "support" that makes sure the two kill each off and so offend each other's voters that our chances our shot in November. It just so happens that giving Hillary the boost and continuing her campaign helps them most right now, because she's weakest...But its a double edged sword.

[MadBadger]

6. Dont they like Limbaugh now?

Oh right, they Like Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs.

[RaleighNCDUer]

7. Well, if you were paying attention you'd know that Limbaugh

and Hannity et al LOVE Hillary now. So technically speaking, to be quoting them we'd have to be saying that she is SO well qualified, so much stronger a candidate than Obama, and the obvious hope for the Democratic party.

No fucking thanks.

[QC]

8. Sometimes coming to DU is like being sucked into a black hole

and spit out into Free Republic, ca. 1998. The weird obsession with The Clenis, the intolerance of dissent, the bizarre lingo: it's all here, as though the past decade never happened.

I don't like it coming from either side. Is it really too much to ask for people to deal with substance and call candidates by their names?

[Cant trust em]

14. It's been quite loony in here.

I can't wait until this is over.

[QC]

18. I'm with you. n/t

[ccharles000]

9. I agree.

there is no sense in attacking Obama or Hillary on anything more than policy.

[nolabels]

25. The sad fact is many take their cues or even marching orders from M$M

They often spend so much time trying to up-end other peoples focus that hardly even know what it is to think for themselves.

Cracking back on others is mostly getting their efforts nowhere yet they can't even begin to understand that, they are just to busy dancing to the drums that occupy them :shrug:

[Jamastiene]

12. Thank you.

It bothers me too. While we may disagree, there is no need for people to recycle tired old right wing garbage (some of it from as far back as the mid 90s) to discuss reasons we may agree or disagree on which candidate we would prefer to see in the WH.

[ProSense]

15. What about referring to Obama as "POS," does that offend you?

What about Hillary claiming Obama is linked to terrrorists?

[BlueIdaho]

16. That door swings both ways. nt.

[JBoy]

17. I don't like the "Slick-Hilly" references, but have no problem with Billary.

Hillary is running on the coat-tails of Bill's experience, happily morphing herself with his record. "Took a Clinton to clean up for a Bush, will take another Clinton to clean up for another Bush." She readily takes credit for anything good that happened during his tenure, but takes zero responsibility for anything negative. Bill is effectively her running mate during this campaign. "Hilliam" would be a more appropriate name, but "Billary" rolls off the tongue better.

[Skittles]

19. meaning, you are a DECENT Obama supporter

and THANK YOU for that

[EFerrari]

28. Skittles, if you're not seeing that it's not whose camp you're in

but who you've always been on DU, well, that's sad.

[Skittles]

30. I........ER......what????

I am simply sickened by so-called Democrats sounding like a bunch of juvenile FREEPERS :puke:

[EFerrari]

35. Sure but it's not one sided in the least.

Maybe we could ask elad for a vomitorium.

lol

[Zhade]

21. Good point. You can just call her "liar" and it's completely accurate.

NT!

[Cha]

22. Maybe you should open

your eyes all the way. hilary has called us out with her disingenuous dissembling, using rw lies on Obama and us and we're suppose to bow down to the ..fill in the ____?


The sources used to prop up hilary are rw with limpbaugh urging his ditto heads to vote for her in Texas and was there anywhere else?

hilary has earned her disrespect..

Jon Stewart's video on hilary's "declining respect for the voters".

[KaptBunnyPants]

23. You have got to be joking? Civility is dead, and Hillary Clinton killed it.

I won't waste a breath defending her now.

[annie1]

24. it is nice to hear an Obama supporter say that. : ). every so often...

an Obama supporter comes across as decent. Even though i know there are probably way more Obama supporters like you, than those who are so hateful towards her, they tend to drown the decent ones out. so thanks for speaking out. :).

[EFerrari]

26. This post could have been helpful were it not so skewed. n/t

[cbayer]

27. I also find it shocking.

I agree that it goes both ways but the bullies in the Obama camp far outnumber the ones in the Clinton camp. These people don't represent to me what the Democratic party is all about - inclusion, decency, tolerance, fairness.

[info being]

31. What is "a little shocked"? What does that look like?

[Hippo_Tron]

33. I'm just concerned by the delusional people that actually think John McCain would be better

And that her "massive retaliation" statement even comes close to McCain's "bomb bomb bomb Iran". Iran isn't going to attack Israel and so Hillary isn't going to be attacking Iran.

Meanwhile we never know when the little green men inside McCain's head might tell him that Al Qaeda is in Iran and he needs to bomb them and Joe Lieberman might not be there to remind him that there is no Al Qaeda in Iran.

[Raffi Ella]

34. Thank you!

It's absolutly disgusting what is happening to one of Our own here @ D.U.
