I would take it a step further and add that we have people on here who have a great deal of contempt for Obama and don't trust him one iota, but they still give credit when credit is due and are still open to discussing things. And are probably going to vote for him in the fall, even though they still hate his guts. Catfish2 and SevenStrings leap immediately to mind. They get crap ALL the time, but they will talk to you and listen if you return the favor. Aliveandkicking would be in this category if I didn't grow more convinced daily that he's a troll (albeit a nice one to talk to).
But let's be fair, there's Obama supporters that do the same thing. Some that will talk to anyone, some that are abrasive but still insightful, some that don't ever say anything nice. Less of the latter on the Obama camp than in the Clinton camp, though. Largely due to how the election turned out.

you'd think so right? i wish i could agree. as much as people bash mydd and the trolls here - there are people that continually bash HRC and people that they perceive as her supporters. maybe you're less open to it which is why you notice it less. but it really is astounding.
what bothers me more than this however - is that most of the good 'eggs' do not stand up to this filth. some do - like you, kysen, spaceman, SG, Johnny, brit - but most don't which is why is perpetuates this idea that there is a double standard in place.
I would like to see more people stand up for that, too. You guys have been very good about it, and I try to stand up for you and Clinton whenever I can think of something to say because of that. I keep worrying that eventually some moron will hit the breaking point and send you all out of here.
Generally speaking, though, I'm much more likely to see a hateful Obama comment than a hateful Clinton one. I'll have to just look closer, I guess.
Seriously, though, everybody. Kick the ass of any Clinton-bashers. The only Democrat we make fun of here is Joe Lieberman. Thank you.
