Reply #180: which is why I deleted my original response.

[cui bono]

Since you chose to say something though, I'll get to the point I wanted to make earlier.

While I agree with things said in your OP, and I'll admit I just skimmed the whole thing because of recognizing your user name and knowing it from an inflammatory and untrue OP you posted.

While you speak of hating hate, you do realize that it cuts both ways, right? If you really hate hate then you can't just hate it when it is directed at your candidate of choice or your disenfranchised group of choice. If you really hate hate then you shouldn't post threads such as the one you posted when you lied about Obama admitting that he's swiftboating Clinton, which he never did nor admitted to.

So I originally had posted something pointing this out in a less eloquent manner and chose to delete it so as not to disrupt a thread that on it's surface was being taken as a genuine outcry against hate.

However, if you really believe in the seriousness of this topic, as your reply to me states, then I ask you to please look inside yourself before you post more slanderous OPs against the opposing candidate. Because one could easily argue that your OP about the alleged admission of swiftboating was very hatefilled, as were several of your responses throughout the thread.

So while I agree with your sentiments in general regarding hate, even if I, in my human ways, succumb to it every so often, I find your post extremely disingenuous and merely a defense of your chosen candidate. I doubt you would have posted the same about the hate that is thrown at Obama, in fact I'm sure you haven't yet.

Disclaimer: I am not an Obama supporter, although I do loathe Clinton and personally have no problem saying the b word when referring to her. I don't consider using that word when describing her as an act of hatred necessarily, I think she has earned it with her campaign tactics. I know you'll disagree with this last sentiment, and it is argued on an hourly basis on this board, and I bring it up now just to mention that in some cases people earn certain things, and I think she's earned that one. Now I'm also not one who thinks using the b word is sexist so there you have it.
