7. Heh... I wish I had started it earlier...

:hi:

[Cha]

37. Ohhhhhh! I already ate otherwise I'd

be happy to spring for some!

This poll is an easy one!

[NMDemDist2]

2. sorry, can't vote without an 'all of the above' choice

:hi:

[redqueen]

4. Well.. the word "most" sort of makes that choice unnecessary, I thought...

but okay! Added, just for you. :hi:

[BlooInBloo]

6. The 8-dimensional coin COULD land on it's side. :)

[BlooInBloo]

3. Either Moonbeam McCrazypants', or Clinton's. Too close for me to call.

[redqueen]

5. I'm glad you included your little nickname for Kucinch.

Seriously!

:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

8. I thought the irony was worth it.

[TahitiNut]

9. It's really no contest.

It's the Hill-shills by a mile.

:shrug:

[redqueen]

11. Hehe... yeah well that's how it seems to me, as well...

but I wanted to give people a chance to vote first.

Unlike those who think Hill's already won the nomination. :rofl:

[Clintonista2]

10. Hillary gets bashed more than any other candidate, I'm not afraid to admit that

[TahitiNut]

12. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

:nopity:

[BlooInBloo]

13. From which it would probably follow naturally that her supporters would *complain* more than others.

[Bitwit1234]

14. Seems to me the Clinton supporters

I am for Edwards and I hope he wins but it makes me angry that all the Obama supporters are constantly and everlastingly bashing Hillary Clinton. If you go down the list you see the same Obama supporters posting over and over and over about Hillary this and Hillary that. If the Hillary and Edwards supporter's would lower themselves that much they would post also and it would end up more flaming. I for one find it amusing that the Obama supporters are so uptight they have to bash bash bash Hillary. Edwards has them all beat.

[Orsino]

15. They do have the most to be insecure about.

A certain amount of nose-holding might be necessary with any candidate, but Hillary? Jeez.

[emilyg]

16. Yep - seem to be obsessed.

[MethuenProgressive]

17. This poll show who gets bashed more, that's all.

[TahitiNut]

22. No ... that's not true.

The criticisms of Hillary are 80-90% focused on her votes and her positions on the issues ... and the Hillary supporters call it "bashing."

The criticisms of Kucinich are at least 70% focused on his appearance and height compared to his wife's ... and the Hillary supporters call it "opinion."

Above, you can easily read "Moonbeam McCrazypants" in reference to Kucinich. Obama and Clinton and Edwards are not demeaned in anything even close to the juvenile name-calling aimed at Kucinch.

Over and over and over and over again on DU.

It's tiresome to read how people equate the stances in opposition to the candidates ... when there is no equivalence.

33. "not demeaned in anything even close to the juvenile name-calling"

"Obama and Clinton and Edwards are not demeaned in anything even close to the juvenile name-calling aimed at Kucinch."
That's not true.
I've seen more juvenile name-calling aimed at Sen. Clinton than any other candidate.
When posts regarding her votes and postions are couched in sexist hate speech, RW hyperbole, and Rovian phrasing - that's bashing. And DUers comment most about what happens most.

[JackRiddler]

18. There you go, bashing poor Hillary again. n/t

[MadBadger]

19. Hillary gets bashed the most..

but I dont see her defenders come out as much. The Kucinich people flip a shit every time it is mentioned that he looks like an elf, and his wife is like a giant compared to him.

[TahitiNut]

20. Do you think it's equivalent to say that Kucinich "looks like an elf" ...

... and point out that Hillary voted for the IWR, favors a permanent military presence in Iraq, and plays footsie with the health insurance industry in her health care proposal??

To call both "bashing" is really a strange way to describe what passes for 'discourse' on DU.

[MadBadger]

23. Both is bashing, just different kinds.

The Kucinich and many Gore people get deeply offended when people make fun of their personal appearances.

[TahitiNut]

34. Not at all. Tonya Harding BASHED Nancy Kerrigan. Nancy Kerrigan COMPETED with Tonya.

Words have meaning. :shrug:

[Jed Dilligan]

21. "Hillary-bashing" is a word in use here

I don't think that's true for any other candidate.

[Kurovski]

24. I've noticed that when it comes to Senator Clinton,

some perceive every criticism as "bashing." The most insistent and immediate--even brutal--defensiveness is to be found around discussions of Madame Senator.

[TahitiNut]

26. Yep.

The peas come out of their pods in support of their poor, bruised Princess.

:evilgrin:

[Swamp Rat]

29. LOLOL!!

[Kurovski]

32. Hillary basher!!!

:D :hi: :hug:

[Swamp Rat]

35. Way'at Kurovski!

:hi: :hug: Jus' havin' fun. :D

[Kurovski]

38. Without fun

what's the point of it all?

All screeching self-righteousness and no play makes Jack a very screwy boy.

Wherever did you find a turd font?! :D

[ecstatic]

25. Kerry's folks, for sure! I mean, they come out the woodwork

IMMEDIATELY to stick up for him. It's cute. :-)

[Truth2Tell]

27. Question: If I complain about

people marginalizing Kucinich, does that count as complaining about bashing?

[Swamp Rat]

28. WAAAAAAAHH!

:D

[Parche]

30. Just Give Me Another Beverage

:rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

31. Athletic Supporters

36. It is Politically Incorrect to take note of the Empresses's lack of...substance.

Or, ethics.

[Greyhound]

39. No contest, the kool-aid drinkers are a whiney bunch of automatons aren't they? n/t
