Why is every Hillary supporter a plant, but every Obama supporter authentic?

[ruggerson]

There's an inane post referencing an ANONYMOUS post at politico in the COMMENTS section in an effort to use that as some kind of proof that Hillary supporters are instructed by the campaign to go on the web and write anti Obama comments.

If this is true, which I highly doubt, they are not very successful at it, since Democrats on blogs, as opposed to Democrats in real life, support Obama overwhelmingly. There is far, far more anti-Hillary venom spread on the net than anti-Obama venom.

Use your brains. Obama has three times the support Hillary has here. I doubt there is a concerted effort on the Obama camp's part to invade DU anymore than a concerted effort by Hillary's camp.

If you can't take spirited political discussion, by other Democrats with legitimately held views different than yours, why are you here to begin with?

3. all this GD:P is pretty much pancakes versus waffles...

no matter which one you prefer...you'll have either for breakfast...

and get them all lathered in butter and syrup and have at it....

in the end, it IS all good and we're all sugar'd out and full and happy and ready to eat some RW bacon (even the vegetarians among us)....

have at it....and don't take it too seriously...

we are, after all, the crazy ones...

6. The first sock-puppet explosion was the monday of McClurkin mania

Waves of out and out trolls arrived simultaneously with identical talking points aimed at telling gays to STFU and trying to organize religious DUers to lash out at GLBT memebers.

Many registered that very morning and posted the exact same observation in every thread on the board. They would get TSed and be back within minutes.

I am amazed to see all the Hillary sock-puppets and faux-supporter racist trolls these days, but we all know where and when this cycle started.

8. I would never say that

There are some good Clinton supporters here, yourself and maddiejoan are already on this thread.

But in all reality there has been a sudden surge I'd say of less than desirable supporters (of both candidates), may I say trolls.

:shrug: It's the internets, I don't get too worked up over what happens here anyways. :)

10. I know you wouldn't Tammy

you're one of the good guys. I don't take it very seriously either, but the childishness seems to be expanding lately, unfortunately.

[tammywammy]

12. I agree

I only hope that all this is over after PA. And I really keep my fingers crossed that the more adamant supporters of both Clinton and Obama come together to support whomever the nominee is to kicking McCain's butt in November.


It's become less policy talk and why I support so and so and more of my candidate is better than yours and fuck off. The name calling is the worst, Hillbot, Obamabot, blah blah blah. Grow up. Seriously, I don't really take anyone seriously when they start within the first sentence with some name like that. :eyes:

14. It's the lime kitty

No one can resist the lime kitty.

[Auntie Bush]

11. They like to hear themselves talk

because they have Hillary supporters on ignore. They are only here to spout to their on choir. They can't defend Obama...so they attack Hillary.
