Please refer to her as "Hillary" and not as "Clinton"

[Bucky]

Women shouldn't be referred to by their last names the way men are. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to vote, wear pants, and hold down jobs outside the home.

[Fredda Weinberg]

1. I prefer HRC. Short, sweet ... says it all n/t

[Superman Returns]

2. But

she likes to be called Hillary. It's not sexist to refer to her the name she wants to be called.

[Connie_Corleone]

3. I say Hillary so people will know I'm talking about her and not Bill.

Her own supporters call her "Hillary".

Well, I guess it was time for another round of "Hillary" vs. "Clinton".

[rinsd]

4. Hillary or HRC or Hillary Clinton or Senator Clinton is fine with me.

Simply saying Clinton can cause confusion with Bill sometimes.

[rufus dog]

36. I was chastised for HRC

So I try not to use it. Glad to see a Clinton supporter uses it.

I meant no disrespect (the HRC part)

As for Clinton - I agree, shouldn't be used.

[bunnies]

5. What is the problem?!

She's called Hillary because thats what she wants to be called. Have you seen her campaign signs?! I dont get why everyone has a problem with it if SHE doesnt. Please. There's been so much of this that its just getting silly.

[NYCGirl]

6. You might want to let the Senator's campaign know about this:

13. This is the perfect companion post to mine.

And just about everyone else's so far.

[MADem]

7. NO.

I will keep calling her Senator Clinton to distinguish her from the President. If she makes it to the WH, she'll be President H. R. Clinton or President Hillary Clinton.

I don't buy that "Former President" descriptor, either. Once a President, always a President--at least honorifically! I will make an exception for that usurper who has been in the WH since the 00 election. He's just 'That Idiot.'

[MadBadger]

8. This thread is ridiculous

[marmar]

9. Well perhaps you should tell her campaign, because that what she refers to herself as....

... in all the literature, which is smart on her part. A lot of people, me included, still think "Bill" when we hear Clinton by itself. She's establishing her own brand identity, and that's not going to happen if she goes by Clinton '08. N'est-ce pas?

[Cha]

35. marmar! That's what

Bucky's sayin'.. B-)

[Occam Bandage]

10. You may wish to inform her campaign. They refer to her as "Hillary" almost exclusively.

Her official site is plastered with the word "Hillary:"
http://www.hillaryclinton.com


And if you want to say, oh, she's playing the sex card: look at Mr. Thompson's site:
http://www.fred08.com/

If that's how she wants to sell herself, fine.

[Whisp]

11. the campaign sign people printers must be sexist.

or Hillary was not bold enough to demand them change it to Senator Clinton.
bleh

[AtomicKitten]

12. You know what, Bucky, I don't know what the hell to call her at DU.

People posts threads like yours complaining about this very issue, but it's important to note that she calls herself "Hillary" and I think most folks use that to differentiate her from the Big Dawg. I've taken to referring to her as Ms. Clinton so as not to step on any toes, but that's becoming more and more difficult and people complain regardless. Perhaps someone should post a poll, let DU'ers vote, and hopefully that will put this matter to rest. My opinion only, yours may vary.

[Occam Bandage]

15. I would think you couldn't go wrong with either

"Sen. Clinton" or "HRC." But I don't know what's considered kosher here.

[AtomicKitten]

16. kosher is in the eye of the beholder around here ;)

welcome to DU!

[MadBadger]

17. How bout "that White lady"

[Bucky]

18. !!!

Sadly, this has become a trend here. Hopefully that will blow over.

[MadBadger]

21. Guess that joke was over your head

My ode to Chris Rock

[tammywammy]

14. Then I suggest you stay away from her website

:eyes:

[Bucky]

19. I do

[Beaverhausen]

20. Why does her campaign make big signs that say "Hillary"?

She wants it that way apparantly. What is it to you?

[Clintonista2]

22. No.

[rucky]

23. Okie dokie, Mr. Bucky.

But she really should fire the people who make all of her bumper stickers and campaign signs.

[DrFunkenstein]

24. How About Hillary Rodham Clinton? That's How Conservatives Call Her

They're just itching at the chance to say that name over and over in the general election.

[Vektor]

25. Bucky, you should have used the sarcasm sign.

And spent a good paragraph or two walking people through the satire here.

Some aren't getting it. :shrug:

[Nailzberg]

26. I say Sen. Clinton to differentiate between her and Hilary Duff.

Considering the celebrity worship here in LA, they both get about the same coverage.

[MadBadger]

27. I feel bad for Hillary Swank, cuz she really is the most talented out of the three IMO.

[Nailzberg]

31. Well, if she'd do something stupid and get on TMZ, she'd be there, too.

Talent gets no consideration.

[AlCzervik]

28. You can call me Ms. Jackson if you're nasty.

:D

[terrya]

29. You know, I don't see people refer to "John" or "Barack" or "Dennis"...

Or "Chris" or "Joe" or "Bill" around here.

[gmudem]

30. Waste of bandwidth.

Who cares?

[calteacherguy]

32. Since it's on her bumpersticker, I will refer to her as Hillary.

Out of respect for her wishes.

[rolleitreks]

33. Mrs Bill Clinton for me. Suck it up. n/t

[sandnsea]

34. Just don't refer to her at all

That's the solution I prefer.

I am really sick of these threads when her campaign promotes her being called Hillary and when she NEEDS to be called by her first name to soften her image.
