I hope you’re not mistaking Republicans for Obama supporters. There’s a lot of hate towards Hillary, but not all from where you might think.

She was originally pushing for them to just get their delegates reseated based on the vote that already took place, conveniently won by her since she was the only one on the ballot.

Speaking of fanboys, check out the official Obama fan site

Wouldn’t that, then, be a case of the robots being like humans?

Great article and quite true. I’ve got nothing against Clinton supporters, but some of them do come off as a little unhinged - especially sites like hillaryis44.comYikes.

I think it’s more like: the zealot supporters of any candidate exhibit very similar behaviors.

Man I have to say that the Orwellian response from Obama advocates are unbelievable.They are right out of the conservative play book, taking all the things they do and projecting them on everyone else.The anti-Hillary pro-Obama hate on reddit has been unbelievable. It’s done a lot to lower my view of Reddit itself.Any web site that takes up the cause of whining for Obama just loses respect. If I want to find out the latest pro-Obama spin on anything I can reliably go to Talking Points Memo for example. And Josh will be up there front and center explaining how bad isn’t really bad, and life is wonderful.It’s sad really because I looked to that gut to change news, and all he does now apparently is spin for Obama.

You think Obama supporters are different?
March 16th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Funny, I’m the same way. I’m actually not a big fan of Obama. I think he’s the best candidate of the three that’re left, but I feel like a lot of his policies were borrowed and cobbled-together from other candidates. And as nice as it would be to again have a President who’s a stirring orator, that’s not my sole deciding factor. (plus, as refreshing as his idealism sounds I’m just too cynical to fully buy into it.)So 2 months ago, had Hillary gotten the nomination, I wouldn’t have shed any tears. My preferred candidates were already long gone. But now? Hillary’s tactics have been so reprehensible that if she DOES get the nom, I’m going to have a really hard time voting for her. At best I’ll hold my nose and vote for her for the sake of keeping McCain (and whatever religious nut he picks as Veep) out of the oval office.But I’m not going to be at all happy about it.

Everybody generalizes from single examples. At least, I do …

How dare you stereotype women!
March 16th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
why do you hate freedom?
March 16th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I’m beginning to wonder if she doesn’t like black people.
March 16th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
No shit. just go on facebook and look at the topics in the pro Hillary group:http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2230418813
