Lord, have mercy! While I was talking to my parish priest:

I got my 1st ever hide for stating my opinion. No personal attack whatsoever.

On Fri Apr 22, 2016, 10:09 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Nor you mine:

Hillary is misandrist.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1808706

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is pathetic and inappropriate.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Fri Apr 22, 2016, 10:16 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Disagreeing with policy is one thing. This is purely an insult and is inappropriate.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It all seems to be prefaced as an opinion. Both posters are just expressing their p.o.v.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I agree this post is idiotic. I agree the poster is an ass. I do not think this rises to the level of an alert.
Let the poster defend their statement if it can be defended.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you're going to play in the cesspool, take it like an adult. I will not hide unless it meets one of the criteria for a hide. This is far from that. No personal insults, or OTT.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Doubling down on a nasty attack on Hillary Clinton. Rude, insensitive and completely inappropriate.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Apr 22, 2016, 10:43 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I reversed my opinion because I realized that by voting to hide it I would be helping to create a recursive downward spiral. Not unlike the level of discourse here in the primaries. But seriously, we all need to chill the hell out, stop tossing the unfounded insults, stop using the judicial process as ammunition, and tell everyone they have pretty eyes.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you're so easily offended, stay the hell out of the Bernie Group! Go clutch your pearls elsewhere!
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Please don’t waste the time of jurists.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yup. A not-so-clever way to re-post the nasty attack. Hide it again.

I thought that the Bernie group was for Bernie supporters. What am I not understanding?

...so much as she's simply an opportunist. So she says whatever sells at the moment (like her pal who's carrying the red flag this year).

Do they believe any of it? Does it even really matter? Say anything. Do anything. Whatever is needed to get them where they want to go.

She pretends to be concerned about women, but she has no trouble sending millions of them into a society that's a hellhole after she bombs out its central government, in Libya. She concern for women is just talk to win some female voters.

Secondly, feminism is not misandrist. Not to say Hillary is a feminist, she is most of all an opportunist. She's a disgrace to women.

On the other hand, being married to Bill might give her a low opinion of men in general.
