Reply #455: If so they aren't that smart [View All]

When people act like that it tends to strengthen rather than weaken support, at least for a lot of us. That's one reason I think Hillary isn't doing better than she is. Some of her supporters are hurting rather than helping her and have been for years now, they are too aggressive about it. Other candidates supporters do too I'm sure but for years now we've been being told that if we don't support her we're just haters, or sexist, or repub tools, or whatever else. She was already the nominee to them in last years mid terms, you couldn't challenge that and that's a part of why I stopped posting here. Too much hate and too many baseless assumptions about people was developing, the fact that they were demanding that you vote against what you saw as your own best interests didn't seem to disturb them any. Do it or be called traitor.

So according to their logic the only reason to oppose Obama is because he's black, only reason to oppose Romney is because he's a Mormon, only reason to oppose Lieberman because he's a Jew, and so on? No? Then why do they think they can assume with her and get away looking any better for it?

I saw a wonderful post yesterday where a user named "mod mom" posted page after page of details and reasons why they had real concerns, but the predictable "hater" responses were unavoidable. It doesn't matter how you explain, source, or detail your concerns, they are sure they know you better than you know yourself.

Sounds too familiar to me, we've just spent the last several years dealing with an administration and media that wants to tell us what we really stand for and why we think what we do without ever bothering to ask if it's true. It's just a good accusation, a nice little zinger, so that'll do. I really think her supporters, or the more rabid of them, are themselves the a good part of the reason why so many expect more of the same with her. She seems to attract the type so probably will if she wins the office too. If they had "helped" her a little less she might be doing better.
