I counted the attacks on Hillary and Obama on the last two pages, results

[Levgreee]

Attacks on Hillary - 15

Attacks on Obama - 31 (about 8-10 credit to about 2 posters)


for the sake of accuracy, I did not differentiate between reasonable and unreasonable attacks. It was simple criteria, just any thread that directly criticized the other candidate in the main title or post. I would say it was about 33-33-33 on vicious attacks, somewhat unreasonable attacks, and reasonable attacks, for both candidates.


So the venom towards Obama has been especially high today, and I don't think the Hillary supporters can keep slinging, justifying it by "they are attacking Clinton just as much".

However, the Clinton critics should also turn it down a notch.

So lets all be civil, mmkay

1. HRC's campaign feels it slipping away....

...we should expect the attacks to increase.


Shows their desperation...

[goldcanyonaz]

3. Any more interesting Dick Morris articles?

[scheming daemons]

14. Nah... he's probably in negotiations to be rehired by Hill and Bill....

...so he doesn't have time to write any more articles.

When the going gets rough for the Clintons, they hire pigs like Dick Morris. This is what they've learned in their "35 years" of experience.

No scruples... hire the guy that can help you "triangulate" your way out of trouble.


Think Bill still has Dick on the old speed dial?

17. Obama is a Mediocrity, honey. That's not an attack. It just IS.

[Tom Strong]

6. No, we're excited. Something happened today; there's been a HUGE shift to Hill. We pumped! n/t

[scheming daemons]

16. Then why so shrill and petty in attacking Obama? You should be positive now...

...Your actions speak very loudly for you.

If you weren't worried about Obama, you wouldn't be posting constantly about him.

[Maddy McCall]

2. It's fewer than 10 people doing all fo this shit.

If admins would ban the 10 or 12 who keep on doing it, even after locks, then GDP would be a much nicer place.

As it is, for Edwards undecideds like me, there's nothing to be learned here to help us in making the decision. There's too much oneupmanship and NOISE in here.

[Adelante]

5. ban the 10 or 12

Your lips to God's ears.

[neutron]

24. If you like to ban people who don't think like you

go to Daily Kos. One big clone muttering to itself.
And patting itself on the back.

[NMDemDist2]

19. I hear ya Maddy, I can't even read any of those threads and I have to vote in 3 days

I'm really really trying to keep an open mind but the mud being slung is useless in helping me to do so.

4. Here's a list of Hillary supporter crap current right now in this forum

Obama pushing gods and guns in Idaho
Obama student of radical black activist
Obama will invade Pakistan
Obama=Black Romney
Obama/Coke
Obama supporters cultists
Obama has no policies

[Muttocracy]

7. several tombstones given out tonight so let's hope it improves n/t

[Maddy McCall]

11. Really?

That's good to know. I know of only one. I hope that they continue to hand them out to the habitual disruptors.

[Muttocracy]

13. thought I saw two but one could have been an older one

I was wondering if my ignore list had a bunch of dead folks and it did!

[sniffa]

18. Can you list the tombstones please?

Aside from glee, I can take them off my ignore list.

[Muttocracy]

22. will PM one recent one

[Colobo]

8. There it is: Hillary is not being attacked as brutally as Obama is.

[Levgreee]

9. I do think in the past it was equal though, or Hillary more possibly

but today, that is not the case

[BlackVelvet04]

10. guess you weren't around last night......n/t

[Bonobo]

12. That's about how I saw it as well.

And if you looked at the content, you would see that most of the Anti-Hillary ones attacked her for her IWR vote.

The anti-Obama ones include charges of cocaine-use, being a cult figure, being a Republican in disguise, etc.

[sjdnb]

15. Please post details

without links to specific threads/content, even this will qualify as just another attack without substance.

[ArkySue]

20. Perhaps the Hillary supporters

Got tired of the BS and are striking back. My guess.

[cboy4]

21. Do you think the attacks you counted on Obama

would be fewer if the roughly half dozen of his "supporters" who make this forum practically insufferable wouldn't spam the joint with so fricken many provocative posts?

[creeksneakers2]

23. I counted the threads on the greatest page

in response to another threat that complained about too many attacks against Obama. Here are my results:

Anti-Hillary 28
Pro-Hillary 30
Anti-Obama 26
Pro-Obama 82

Probably our results differ because pro-Obama threads get more recommendations. I still don't see an anti-Obama bias. One thing I agree partially with you about - there are far few Hillary supporters than Obama supporters so at least some Hillary posters must be very busy.
