k let's make this clear: The difference between "criticising" and "hating" a candidate

[Clintonista2]

Example of a thread that offers legitimate criticism: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2082710&mesg_id=2082710

Example of a thread that can be considered "hating": "Hillary Clinton and the wicked witch: Separated at birth?" (An actual topic that was eventually deleted)


If you consider "criticising" and "hating/bashing" to be the same thing, then you need to grab a dictionary. Everytime people make topics that say "Stop bashing candidates" they are told they must hate criticism/free speech. Bashing/hating and criticising are NOT the same thing.

Edit: Had "bashing" in OP title instead of "criticising"

1. What about the people that have legitimate criticism, but feel the need to join in the bashing

Threads? I see a lot of that going on. Thats one reason when I see a criticism thread from certain people, I just ignore it because they don't deserve the attention or response.
