I haven't supported Hillary, but I'll alert on anything like that I see here, and I think it has no place in the discourse. If one agrees with Senator Clinton for whatever reason, one should be able to express that disagreement without resorting to such terms. (For the record: I have never, not once, throughout the course of this primary campaign, refered to Senator Clinton here as anything other than 'Hillary', 'HRC', or 'Senator Clinton', and I have never, not once, refered to her supporters as anything other than 'Clinton supporters' or 'Hillary supporters'--you can check the archives, if you want).

On edit: I admit that I have referred to Clinton suppoters as 'Clintonites', which is not a negative and is still a far cry from 'Hillbots', 'Hillaroids', 'Hill-shills', or many of the other labels I'[ve seen, and is certainly a long way from being as ugly and hateful as some of the labels YOU, Maddy, have used for obama supporters (I seem to remember 'Obamababies' and Obamabots', among others.)
