Obama supporters, am I correct to surmise that Hillary supporters are now "trolls" to you?

[Skip Intro]

Poll question: Obama supporters, am I correct to surmise that Hillary supporters are now "trolls" to you?

I gotta know.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. No, not at all.

[NightWatcher]

2. nope, just weak shit like this

git yer flambait outta here

[bluedawg12]

37. Yeah and you are the one to tell everyone what's flame bait?

Bull sh*t.

[anonymous171]

3. Most aren't. But today there has been an influx of pro-hillary trolls

Posting links to RW sites and claiming among other things that Obama is a terrorist and cannot win because he is Black.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. Hell no. But a certain select few sure as shit are.

It's fairly obvious by the brand of bullshit they post.

[ingac70]

5. A majority aren't...

but the ones posting links to news max and planning mass spamming and boycotts are.

[2rth2pwr]

6. You forgot the disagree with Obama and you're a racist option.

[FlyingSquirrel]

7. Not all of them...

you're not on ignore yet.

:)

[Skip Intro]

17. Dude, thanks

I won't put you on ignore either.

:D

[Joe the Revelator]

8. There are about 30 Hillary supporters who became bat shit insane attention whores

Evidenced by the childish boycott, and the need to make every post about themselves or "Hillary Supporters" as a group. This ceased being about politics to THEM a long time ago. Now its just egos and attention.

[Bonobo]

Nope, just the ones that try to tear him down unfairly using Rovian tactics.

[anigbrowl]

9. I have no problem with hillary supporters. I have a problem with...

with people who only post snark, or only post one-liners, or throw out random assertions like 'rezko will bring Obama down HARD' and 'he can't win the GE' without offering any actual arguments. You can call it trolling or you can call it headlining, whatever. When someone consistently sets of my stupid-o-meter then I hit the ignore button. Maybe 35 people so far, including a few Nitwits for Obama.

In short, it's not who a person supports that makes me hit 'ignore', it's the level of stupidity they consistently exhibit.

[Johnny__Motown]

10. Only if you knowing spread lies as the truth

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. Not at all....

the premise 'some X are Y' doesn't lead to the conclusion 'all X are Y'. Some 'supporters' of both candidates, from what I've seen, fit the 'troll' label.

[myrna minx]

12. I appreciate most Hillary supporters, but there are a few flame throwers that i don't care for.

[tammywammy]

13. No not at all

There are trolls on here that pretend to support Hillary. Just like there are trolls on here that pretend to support Obama. To think otherwise is just silly.

[Catherina]

14. Other. Some people pretending to be Hillary supporters ARE trolls

and they're rarely called out by the most vocal real Hillary supporters who are too busy acting trollish.

[babylonsister]

15. No, not all of them at all. But there are some who are over-the-top

to me. I yearn for some new, positive facts about Clinton, but maybe there aren't any. I'm sick of bashing from both sides but do feel the need to defend Obama when someone is going overboard-imo.

[Andy823]

16. Nope

But I do think there are republicans coming here and claiming to be Hillary supporters, just like those who Rush got to vote for her in Texas and Ohio. They think it's their duty as good little Rushbots to come here and make trouble, just like they do when the cross over and vote for Hillary in the primaries. They want nothing more than to keep this crap going between democrats so they will not have a candidate that hasn't been all beat up in the primaries. It's the only way they can hope for a McCain win in the fall.

Now I am sure there are some here who say they are for Obama that fit in that same boat, and I don't care for them either. All we can do is ignore the obvious trolls, and hope for the best. It's just really sad when this kind of thing goes on, and people like Rush who promote it are nothing but sick pukes who need to be taken off the air!

[IndependentDem]

18. i think there are trolls/freepers on both sides n/t

[scheming daemons]

19. Only the half-dozen or so that think a Maya Angelou poem written in *1978* was about Hillary....

....

[K Gardner]

33. ROFLMAO ! Nuh uh.. only drawback of the ignore feature.. ya miss the truly HILARIOUS ones.

[jgraz]

34. Those are probably the same ones who still think she invented the internet.

[Bullet1987]

20. Only a disruptive handful of Clinton supporters are trolls

Most aren't I don't think...

[NoBushSpokenHere]

21. I chose "other"

Because there were trolls disguised as Hillary supporters the same as there were trolls disguised as Obama supporters. I don't mind the Hillary supporters, I truly enjoy a good debate. The trolls though, they kept us all from having a good debate. They also kept tending the fire between camps so the losing side became more vindictive. I do think there were some Hillary supporters here who were having difficulty handling the loss.

[harun]

22. What kind of Hillary supporters?

The make up lies, rant about race, rant about sexism supporters? or the I think Hillary is better on the issues supporters? Because I don't seem to see the "Hillary is better on the issues" supporters posting anymore.

[jgraz]

23. Wow, a troll poll to poll for trolls.

:applause:

[Blue-Jay]

32. How droll.

[Umbram]

24. It is not a good sign when "Other" is the #1 choice in your poll

Clearly SOME supposedly pro-Clinton posters are trolls.
Clearly SOME supposedly pro-Obama posters are trolls.

[wiggle-room]

25. wrong thread

sorry

[XemaSab]

26. It's about 50/50

:hide:

[Bonobo]

27. Can I change my mind? I now answer just the ones that plan spam attacks from other websites!

[thevoiceofreason]

28. The Maya-n invasion / exodus has begun

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

29. NO Hillary supporters are trolls. ALL pretend Hillary supporters are trolls.

[Crunchy Frog]

30. No. n/t

[Yes We Did]

31. Um... 3, 4, & 5

[baldguy]

35. Here's the way it works.

Hillary supporters shout "Rezko!", and Obama supporters give a long reasoned explanation as to why the charges in the RW media are false & why Obama was being truthful all the time.

Hillary supporters shout "Wright!", and Obama supporters give a long reasoned explanation as to why the charges in the RW media are false & why Obama was being truthful all the time.

Hillary supporters shout "Passports!", and Obama supporters give a long reasoned explanation as to why the charges in the RW media are false & why Obama was being truthful all the time.

Hillary supporters shout "Muslim!", and Obama supporters give a long reasoned explanation as to why the charges in the RW media are false & why Obama was being truthful all the time.

Then the Hillary supporters shout "REZKO!" again.


When they start using Rovian tactics, they're trolls.

[bluedawg12]

36. No here's the way it works: There will be a GE

and then all the trolls will suddenly become supporters?

:ROFL:

[bowens43]

38. many of them are

you can recognize them by their extremely low post counts and blatantly ridiculous posts.

[intaglio]

39. You might be a troll if you post things like this - trolling for flames

In fact I have probably alerted on more trolls that were purportedly pro-Obama, but that only reflects on the far larger number of Obama supporters.

My alerts are generally for flamebait posts and prejudice (racial and sexual). No I have not alerted for this post because it is only a very minor flamebait.

[dkf]

40. I have to admit I am suspicious of any Hillary supporter who calls Obama a bigot or a racist.

If I never saw any of those posters again, I think it would make for a much more reasonable board.

[Perry Logan]

41. The Hillary folks just started acting more like the Obama folks have been acting all along.
