Garrett Scott, an Obama supporter says:
"But what I do not understand is the childish tactics of name calling and reducing complicated issues into simple accusations. Mostly I'm tired of seeing Clinton supporters using words like Obamabots, Obamaliens and other silly names. Maybe it is a sign that even Clinton's supporters are becoming so frustrated with her prospects (diminishing) that they are losing control of their emotions I don't know, but it is ugly, and it needs to stop. The same is true of Obama supporters who behave this way (although I don't see it as often)."
I agree that the name calling has gotten ridiculous, although the names you cited are just silly, not abhorent as those that some Obama supporters are lobbying at Hillary. I am surprised you have not seen these because Hillary-bashers have been filling the comment threads of the liberal blogs with viciousness for months. It's fine to support one candidate over another and to raise questions about a candidates policies and abilities but to churn up such hate and bile toward a woman who has served the public well for many years is disgusting.
