19. You've utterly missed the point-
Here let me quote the OP you may not have actually read;

"Oh, I'm sure it's out there, just as I'm sure that other Obamites stomped on it, but I haven't seen any."

Now the "She'll kill anyone who gets in her way" might likely be irrational, but saying "She'll do anything" in a political context means she'll do anything politically to win. So far, she's given fair cause to make that assesment.

I know, you're absolutely certain that the poster meant she'd kill everyone and destroy the world and nothing reasonable that I say will figure into it. But let's assume you're right, pretend you're a mind reader, and say that the poster did mean she'd kill to win.

Congrats, you've found one example of an irrational statement on a board where there are tens of thousands of statements a day. That goes nowhere toward proving that even 10% of Obama supporters are as rabid as people claim... let alone this 90% figure Clinton supporters irrationally believe.

Do you really think there are that many? If so, you can do better than a statement whose ulterior meaning you can't know.

Tell you what though, I'll go ask the person if that's what they meant. I'm reasonable like that.

Now, let me ask you... "Do I 'hate' Hillary because I support Barack"?
