Hillbots
I was thinking about all the names Rethuglicans give to Democrats,i.e. DemoRats, Defeatocrats, Deathocrats...

And the special name they give to posters at DU -DUmmies..

Next time you call somebody a Hillbot think about that...

3. What about the others
Obamanation, Idolers, etc.

Would be nice if we could have civility, but it's funny to hear this coming from the Clinton camp.

8. I Would Never Stereotype A Whole Group Of People
That's about the most (il)liberal thing a person can do...

41. OMG that is so fitting
Given that Obamas supporters are so overly hypersensitive and always running around yelling, "The sky is falling! the sky is falling!!"

13. Ok, I hate the name calling, but "Hillroids" and "ObamaNation" are clever.
Still shouldn't be used.....

But it's not very nice...

Oh, I don't see ObamaNation as an epithet...

It's a sports term like Raider Nation for Raider fans...

10. And don't forget the hateful names the supporters of other candidates are called.
Its an equal problem that does very little to help DU or the respective candidates. I just wish those who do it would realize what their hate does in turning people away from those they supposedly support.

15. Remember "Deaniacs"? It will never change.
People are people. This is not that important in the grand scheme of things.

You shouldnt stay away. Even mini-conversations like ours, where perceived differences are overcome, are the the things that keep me posting here... despite the bullshit. :toast:

36. I've been here too long. There really isn't anything here for me
anymore. I shared this site with my husband. Can't be here without him. 4 years was a long enough run.

39. Ive been reading this board since 2003....
And had to get away from it for about 6 months before I finally joined. Its really disheartening to be here sometimes. I definitely know how you feel. But please know that there are people like me who sincerely hope you'll stick around. Another :hug:.

43. I appreciate that.
But there is no place for me here anymore and I'm not really happy when I'm here. I've done the breaks, but this is different. Too different. It is losing your life.

18. It's In The Eyes Of The Beholder
Edited on Sun Dec-30-07 04:18 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
A bot is a machine as in an adbot...Calling somebody a bot is like calling somebody a drone...

I don't see Deaniac or ObamaNation as pejorative...


I am a big Heat fan...My handle at ESPN used to be HeatNation... But I canned it because it was cliched...

always will...it's all the same. End story.

23. I tend toward "Edwardians" "Clintonians" "Bidenites" etc. for some reason
But I don't consider it in the same category as whoever-bots, etc. I found "ObamaNation" quite painful for a while. After seeing it a hundred times or so I was able to ignore it. If it rocks somebody's boat to say such a childish thing, oh well, what can I say.

Oakland Raider fans call themselves Raider Nation:

29. Ever read the book of Leviticus?
There's a word that sounds a lot like "ObamaNation" used in about every other sentence there. And it ain't complimentary.

42. And this OP is a stealth way to deliver the repeated tactical message that
those who oppose a Clinton nomination are "as bad as repubs", or are "Freepers".

Sen. Clinton is more to the right than most who would call an obsessive volunteer operative a "Hillbot".
