There simply is no reason to "hate" anyone in this election.
Here are a few people that I personally (even posthumously) treat with contempt, based on their actions:

Adolf Hitler
Idi Amin
George W. Bush
Donald Rumsfeld
Dick Cheney
Barbara Bush (the mother... especially after her abominable comments during Hurricane Katrina)
The Catholic Church (for convicting Galileo Galilee of heresy and for suppressing women)

I suppose I could think of more people, but I prefer not to dwell on those that I hate.

Hate says little about the object of hatred, but says much about the people doing the hating, and there is no reason to hate anyone involved in the Democratic election process.

1. Well I can't stand either one of them.
But hate is probably too strong a word. I've used it before in reference to them, but I guess my real hate is reserved for Republicans. I DO hate those people with a fiery passion.

2. I'll give you the first rec, but choose your hatred carefully.
Hate tends to blind reason and success in reaching desired goals to counter the object of the hatred. More often than not, hating hurts the hater more than the hated. The Democratic Party is, in a sense, like a family. We may disagree, vehemently, and get really pissed off at each other and say things we should not say, but in the end we are family and should be able to come together on that basis.

5. "They" say that love and hate aren't too far apart.
