1. I guess they figure there is no point in pretending to be neutral anymore.

7. Can you explain the negative connotation? I like Clinton and
have no problem being associated with him, but do see that he's basically out of the picture (or should be) by now. Is this a replacement for Dems?:shrug:

11. Clintonistas
Comparing Clinton defenders who point out the truth to the reich wing nuts to some sort of militia force. That is the negative conotation. My point is that this is a derogatory term used by the reich wing nuts and does not belong in a "news" story. It is best left to freepers and the places they haunt.

14. OK, it's derogatory, that's enough for me, but I still don't quite
understand why, other than a lame comparison to Sandinistas. I wonder where this gem originated?
Nevermind, I'll look it up!

Just like Rush Limpnuts frequently does.

13. I understand where the name came from because they're too
dense to be original, but do you really think they correlate Dems w/the Sandanistas and by extension Clinton? It's a stretch however you look at it.

15. I was trying to find the first reference to it
"Clintonista" is not in Google Trends, but it is all over Powerline and Newsmax blog entries. :puke:

find, though I didn't weed through every page. Just lots of r/w crap.

20. Wiki-Wight-Wing-opedia
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 10:06 PM by Moochy
Columnist Emmett Tyrrell wrote the following about the report:

August 2004 a quote from David Barrett: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Barrett

"When Barrett completed his report the Clintons' lawyers, led by that legendary Clinton pettifogger, David Kendall, tried to kill off the report either by gutting it with redactions or by getting it buried altogether. Kendall entered some 140 motions pursuant to this goal. The report has been ready for publication since August 2004, but Kendall's nuisance tactics have worked, and now what do we hear from the Clintonistas? They complain that Barrett has cost too much and taken too long. As they are themselves are the reason for much of the cost and delay, advocates of good government should be up in arms. This stratagem has been used too frequently by the Clintonistas to smear an officer of the court."

on edit ( :blush: oops the "Clintonistas" was in a quote, so i had to back out my edits, im not a wiki-pedia vandal, after all.)

24. I think it came from George HW Bush's 1992 campaign
Mary Matalin makes use of the term in the book she wrote along with James Carville about the 1992 presidential election. I'll bet that it was a term derived back during that presidential election campaign

26. They just want to suggest negative associations
in the mind of some, merely the name reflects on the Clintons and their supporters in a negative way. The only logic behind is that placing those folks in a negative light furthers the goal of the Bushistas, if only a little.

It's like the word "regime"; objectively it is synonymous with "government", but the MSM only uses it to signify 'known enemies' of the US. So (some) people become conditioned to think that any government that is called a "regime", is an enemy of the US.

35. IT MATTERS.
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 07:46 AM by WinkyDink
When have you EVER HEARD ANY "nickname" by corporate media for BUSH supporters? "Bushistas"? "Bushaniacs"?

We are not CHILDREN to be called ANYTHING other than DEMOCRATS, get it?

10. Ooops, there it is.
Oh, please, "Clintonistas?"

Isn't it out there for everyone to see?

Do we even have to argue anymore?

ABC, along with the other "major" media have always been in the Bush camp. They have just PROVED it.

This is the primal definition of fascism.

Micky Mouse is wearing a swastika!! How waco is that to the American psyche? :woohoo:

19. They really can't stop thinking about sucking Bill's dick.
This has nothing to do with him and everything to do with their sick obsession with the Clinton family, to the point that they're willing to commit treason and then lie and blame Bill for it. What sick and pathetic fucks.

22. I noticed that they also had a photo slideshow of tennis "fashionistas"
Show how the world of tennis has become more sophisticated when it comes to fashion. It must be a suffix that they like to use. I guess they don't see the connection with the Sandinista that I had infered.

a headline saying "Bushbots Ballistic Over Bush Bust"

Hey... I like that headline. They could get cute then and say something about B*sh being Hague-ridden...sigh. (waking from daydream now)

29. Red Alert Time! Do This
This is HATE SPEECH pure and simple, derived from Rush Limbaugh.

This is a blanket statement saying that anybody who is on the side of Bill Clinton is a Marxist.

ABC is calling us Marxists.

We need to start echoing the term "Hate Speech" on all the blogs and message boards over and over and over and debunking this everywhere.

Purely a product of the "Busholinis," I am sure!

31. Someone needs to PhotoShop the Entrance to the
Magic Kingdom and stick letters on there that say, "Welcome MARXISTS and Clintonistas!"

Yeah, they'll take your money and then call YOU a COMMIE. Real CUTE.

They are smearing 75% of the Population easy, remember during his "impeachment" (WITCH HUNT) President Clinton had MORE AMERICANS Backing HIM than Bush could DREAM OF right now.

Let's see, they have Christians backing this 911 film? What about Mickey Mouse as the "Sorcerer's Apprentice"? Shades of the OCCULT if you ask me..

They have Proctor and Gamble at their side now and I may be older than some, but I remember a BIG brewhaha over their Logo being SATANIST!

Has Disney gone over to the dark side? Have they GONE NUTS? Do they have so much money they don't CARE ANYMORE?

Personally I think it's time to BOYCOTT ALL THINGS DISNEY and not stop until they are ON THEIR KNEES. Time to PULL ABC'S License, the AIRWAVES belong to the PEOPLE.

From Magic Kingdom to Nazi Kingdom, what's next? FEMINAZIS on ABC?

34. "Der ewige CLINTONISTAS"
snip...

One way of doing this could be to show authentic Nazi film propaganda. Both Hitler and Goebbels regarded the film as the most important medium to affect the way the Germans were thinking and acting. The famous documentary on the Nuremberg Rallies of 1934 by Leni Riefenstahl, "Triumph of the Will," most certainly played a vital part of the formation of the "Führer-Myth", while another so-called "documentary", "Der ewige Jude" (The Eternal Jew) from 1940, was made in order to "reveal the truth" about the Jews. It consisted of everything which was regarded necessary to legitimize their extermination.

Like the people in Europe tried to warn us five years ago..."Same Shit, Different Asshole!"

36. Maybe not the right thing to do, given the time frame and all;
However, I AM a socialist! Let the freeper who just ejaculated all over the keyboard now admit online that he is a neo-nazi, pedophile and wife beater!
