Too many of Hillary's supporters' FIRST line of defense is to attack the character of Obama and his supporters. They don't have any arguments of substance, they have no beef with Obama's message, they refuse to discuss the issues at hand, and they will not have a serious discussion with any kind of respect for anyone who disagrees with them. It makes me wonder if the only Hillary supporters on this board are just Operation Chaos people sent in by Rush Limbaugh to keep the tone of this race as low and as petty as possible.
Senator Obama has accomplished a lot for the people he represents in Illinois, and Senator Clinton has accomplished a lot for the people she represents in New York. These two are similar on the issues, but vastly different in their approach. They both deserve to be heard, they both have the right to run, and their respective supporters all have the right to speak. But I can't help but notice that while Obama's supporters are making arguments based on facts and seem to be trying to communicate at a level that includes all views and tries to understand everyone, Hillary's supporters are angry before the conversation can even get started, distorting and exaggerating events, and flaming anyone who dares to disagree with them into the ground.
Their arguments are nonsense, and they might as well be quoting Sean Hannity or Limbaugh for all the good they are doing their candidate. Hillary supporters - I urge you to tone down the rhetoric and join a civilized discussion where we can really compare facts about the candidates, their views, and their approach. We have to solve this primary, and for our own good and the good of America, we must be united in November.
Right now I'll have a hard time voting for Hillary if she wins the nomination - give me a few reasons why i should, without insulting me. Thanks.
