Poll question: Question for those who are NOT for Obama or Clinton: Whose supporters on DU are the bigger bullies?

There's a lot of bullying going on in this forum, and I can't tell whose worse: Clinton supporters or Obama supporters. I figure people who do not support either of them will be relatively objective.

Please don't cheat.

1. I honestly don't read those threads, so I have no idea. Sorry. nt

[Nailzberg]

2. You know people are gonna cheat on this, right?

It's pointless.

[Onlooker]

8. Yeah, I figured

I'm an Obama supporter, but I'm embarrassed by the bullying mentality of so many of them. It's like they think their candidate is pure as the driven snow, when really all he is is an excellent front man to a superb campaign strategy. Whoever is running Obama's campaign I think is the next Rove, and I mean that as a compliment because that's what we'll need to beat the Republicans.

3. Definetly the Obama supporters (Edwards supporter)

16. LOL!

4. My GOD, what does it matter?

Anybody who makes their decision about who to vote for based on how their supporters on an online message board act ought to have their license to vote revoked. HONESTLY. :mad:

5. That's an unfair question. I know folks that "support" one or the other

and they're just fine. It's the miscreants that bully. At which point I say fuck both groups of bullies. Support your candidate, don't be an asshole.

Part of the reason I refuse to support either one is based upon their "supporters" because quite frankly, both camps suck.

[KittyWampus]

17. there really are only a handful of major assholes in any camp.

6. I find some supporters on both sides fairly obnoxious

but they're still entertaining.

7. I voted for Obama's supporters...

although I'm not saying that all, or even most, are nasty. But there was a boatload of threads asking (some nicely, some demanding) that Edwards drop out after SC because he was "hurting Obama" or that he should "give his delegates to Obama." Sorry, Obama is perfectly capable of getting his own delegates.

I haven't heard that from Clinton supporters, at least not in that volume.

What they do to each other, though, is a different story. I think that's about even.

9. I'm an Edwards fan,

I find the Clinton supporters beyond hysterical. Actually, they're insufferable! Obama's are a bit hysterical, but far more tolerable!

On Edit: I think this thread had been hijacked by special interests! (Sigh--the HRC fans are out in force as far as I can see....)

[Barack_America]

18. I agree with you on the hijack...

As an Obama supporter, I am sticking with my "pledge" not to interfere with this poll, lol.

[Mike03]

10. They are all bullies, but Obama's supporters seem to have the edge right now. NT

[QC]

11. Definitely the Obamatologists.

They are even worse that the most deranged of the Deaniebots last time.

[Drum]

12. Excellent poll.

I thank you for putting up this lightning rod, leading to an asbestos suite and what will surely be a lively party. Come one, come all.

:hi:

[Mojambo]

13. Too close to call n/t

[qnr]

14. I've been voting Democratic since the early 70's, and I have to say, this

is the first time ever that supporters of a candidate have totally turned me against their candidate.

[bigbrother05]

15. Can we vote twice?

[elana i am]

19. i need a both option

hillary's have been at it longer and obama's are catching up.

[CaptJasHook]

20. There are a few die-hard Clintonians

But the Obama camp has it for most widespread irritation.

By the way, my fellow Edwardians have been getting a little pissy lately:+

[Abacus]

22. As someone who was initially leaning towards Richardson,

I originally found Clinton supporters to be the worst and Edwards supporters to be the best, with Obama supporters in between, but closer to Edwards. Now I'm backing Obama and notice a good deal of bullies in all camps. It's a mess in here.
