Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAttention Hillary haters/bashers/naysayers etc... I have a present for you.
Since most of the negative comments regarding HRC are old regurgitated lines from Freeperville (sorry DU, you didn't make up the "Clintonista" phrase, that came straight from the Freepers) I thought I would save you the trouble of finding some new and interesting negative comments, all from Freeperville, of course. I have compiled a list of things you can use against Hillary supporters/third wayers/half wayers/not real Democrats etal. All you have to do save these, then cute and paste when you need a snarky phrase about HRC. These are actual quotes. Pretty goddamned horrible aren't they? On a personal note, I would be ashamed of myself if I ever talked about any Democrat in some of the negative ways I have seen here. But, that's just me. Carry on.
"Hillary Clinton is as fit for the presidency as Lena Dunham is for running a preschool."
Shes BRAIN DAMAGED Jim
"The Butcheress of Benghazi is going to beat whom?"
"Hillary Clinton nose picker "
"clinton es racista!"
"When will Hillary explain why she isnt getting filthy rich sitting on her fat ass trading cattle futures?"
"The woman is a repulsive and not very intelligent bimbo."
"Without bubba, shed still be faking hours at that Arkansas law form."
"Is it even possible for Evita to be any MORE full of s%$#?"
"Nothing that comes out of her mouth is credible or true!"
"At worst shes a communist, at best shes a fraud and a liar!"
"She is a special kind of stupid."
"Shes an absolute nut."
"What has this woman ever accomplished to make her presidential material much less a candidate"
"I see a dried up old commie."
" A nasty shrill ugly woman"
"It is a pitch black night when Hillary is your only moonbeam."
"An old brain damaged lesbo with cankles, what other qualifications are there?"
"You cant spell LIAR without HilLiary!"
"I prefer to refer to her as Mrs. B.J. Clinton."
"crazy clintonista con."
"Hey Hillary! Whats the inside of the freight elevator look like?"
"Careful! That stage is only rated for 10 tons!"
"Dont let your campaign bus run over the truck scales outside or theyll slap a road surcharge on you for potential damage!"

(14,255 posts)Warren or Sanders or ANY Democrat - we should change out minds about disliking her policies?
Illogical fail, IMO and all that.
Actually, irrelevant.
That "they are against her so we must be for her" doesn't work.
I have seen objections to her policies here, not the puerile jibes that Freeperville vomits.
False equivalence. Waste of time.
When you start to believe the same things as the Freepers, there's something wrong.
The Republicans despise her. Clearly they do not consider her the same as themselves.
It's pretty strange that the swarm folks on DU who make a lot of noise in small bursts, think that this constitutes ordinary opinion for Democrats in the workaday world.
Sorry, but a lot of people still like her. If you don't, that's your business, but you can't wish her away, no matter how much you want to.
djean111
(14,255 posts)And no one is trying to wish her away - people are demanding a different choice for candidate. There will be primaries, remember?
It looks to me like there is a somewhat hysterical attempt to quash all possible dissent about Hillary before any primaries. That is doing more harm than good.
And the Democrats in the workaday world will make their choices at primary time, after having heard the stances of all the candidates, not just give the nomination to Hillary.
That's Democracy.
Equating dislike of Hillary's policies here to the crap spewed by Freepers is ridiculous.

I'm not following that logic, or lack thereof...
dilby
(2,273 posts)I don't know if I will vote for her in the Primaries yet, will wait to see who all throws their hats into the Arena but I think it's rather premature to hate on her before anyone knows who will run against her.
LWolf
(46,179 posts)when she offers up so many legitimate reasons to criticize her?
It's kind of pathetic that you, or other HRC supporters, are already trying to use a smokescreen of Republican stupidity to obscure the real reasons she's not getting support from actual Democrats who are actually to the "left" of mainstream.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)And yes I doubt people here would use these terms because it would not be appreciated here.
Unfortunately the name calling has begun here and I hope things calm down.
Some actual Democrats DO support her; those are not the "left of mainstream" I mentioned, and I mentioned it because of the OPs DU name.
I don't think Democrats left of HRC would use those terms because it wouldn't be appreciated by those here; I think we wouldn't use them because, as I already indicated, there is a WEALTH of legitimate criticisms.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)It does look like the progressive wing of the party is more likely to support another candidate in the party but not all progressives.
Yes there are legit criticisms of her and I think most of her critics here will be fair but not all will.

(5,624 posts)DU'ers are critical of her stances on the issues and her actions as Sec'y of State. Freepers are just bashing and throwing out ad-hominem garbage about her appearance, etc. DU'ers are calling HRC "The butcheress of Benghazi" or a "communist" then you may have a valid point. Until then enjoy the time you're spending at Freep.
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)In fact, several DUers are or have been Freepers and some have held the same anti equality positions on both sites.
Funny that DU did not run from homophobia the moment they saw it in Freepers. Instead DU invited Freepers to post here, knowing full well they had posted horrible things about gay people on FR and everywhere else.
To this day, DU nurtures and harbors several virulently anti gay posters, some of whom are 'former' Freepers.
So I am not exactly sure what the OP's point is here.

Because freepers like that,
