5. None of them were funny.
I'm sure you'd be the first to laugh if it were done to Obama?

14. Um, this wasn't done 'to' a candidate
They're backlash against the sometimes asinine anti-Hillary posts that seem to be flooding the forums lately.

35. That's exactly what they were!
Edited on Thu Nov-08-07 02:27 PM by EstimatedProphet
I looked at GD, and saw in the first page so many juvenile anti-Hillary screed posts - Hillary doesn't tip, Hillary was a Repub in college - that I couldn't stand it any more and put up Hillary eats babies, which was the intended subtext of all the messages put together. My point with the whole thing was to lampoon the bashing, and I think everyone else's point was the same.

For the record, I don't care either way about her candidacy. If she get's the nomination she gets my vote. If someone else gets the nomination they get my vote.

17. I would
It is funny, and a little silly. Sometimes I think DU does need to lighten up a little and smile.

Sometimes all the outrage can be a bit much.

23. The OUTRAGE!
I agree. Plus, when it takes on the Olive Garden, breast feeding, smoking, etc. then you have to be pretty dim to not know it's a joke.

18. They were funny because they were obviously mocking the "she-devil"
image some have of her--you can't possibly think posters were serious about trying to insult her with such ridiculous assertions!

There's no way I'll ever vote for her now. I'll vote Ron Paul before I vote dirty undie Hillary.

30. I agree!!
I've said it so many times myself... I hope people listen.

The very best way to protest threads is to ignore them, do not post on them and keep them kicked, let them sink like a stone.

Anybody care to enlighten me what the ruckus is about THIS time??

47. A rash of silly Hillary-related posts....not trolls, necessarily, but a continuous parade....
of silly threads. Some here found it quite enjoyable - I found it grating. To each his or her own, I guess.

48. Well, it's certainly interesting that I seem to have eliminated all that
with my ignore list. It's the same crowd who gets together to clutter up DU with SPAM/junk posts to use up bandwidth and distract folks. I think KKKarl has found something to keep him busy, and has a big enough cadre of trolls to do it.

They ARE working together. It IS intentional. And they are NOT Democrats.
