Nice post Travis. I was especally sickened when I went online to check the reaction there--I figured it would be bad, but the blatant stuff on there is absoutley disgusting, now even encouraged by "Admin" Alex Rodriguez.

It's just stunning how low these people have went, really.

Why go over there?  Really, what does it matter?

Its just like Westboro church. I was surprised they didn't have an animated gif saying "Tim Russert fag-enabler in hell". It's sick and if they can't give respect to someone as objective and researched as Russert then they are too stupid for this world.

Why don't you all forget Hillaryis44?  For all you know, those posters could be a number of people with a lot of different agendas.  It could be a bunch of republican plants attempting to sew divisiveness in the Democratic party.  It could be someone from a blog like this attempting to work out their hatred for Hillary or her supporters.  They could be over there posting comments so that they can bring them back here to say, look what these Hillary supporters are like.  I mean, some of you visit there much more than any of those who support Hillary do.  I only go there when I see diaries like yours to see what you are talking about.  Otherwise I wouldn't bother.  Really, please please please stop obsessing about something that has nameless, faceless, people posting crap on.  These are not real supporters of Hillary Clinton. They have a lot of hidden agendas.

No doubt they are disgusting human beings.

Let's try not an increase their hit count though.

Oops, I didn't see this diary and posted some of the comments on the open thread. Sorry for the repetition.

Well, in any case, I'm glad it was noticed. The idea that these folks are rational in any way has been shown to be an absurdity. And I'm sure that Senator Clinton would be appalled if she knew that these ideas were being expressed by people who profess to support her.

Is your only point here to stir outrage? Different people have different opinions of the man. Getting up on your high horse about some people's opinions shows that you have little interest in showing respect for the man on the day of his death.

Why even go over there?  Ignore it.  Don't post links to give them more hits.

You can find all flavors of crazy on the internet.  No point in calling attention to any of it.

But I really wish everyone would just SHUT THE FUCK UP about Hillaryis44! Don't. Go. There. Forget them. They're deranged. Most of them are undercover freepers. I am (was) a Clinton supporter, and I never go there. Stay AWAY from the big pink hatesite!

I should point out that I'm not really yelling at you. I'm just in a terrible mood, and I've been put in that mood by 1) my miserable, craptastic day, and 2) a well-respected Obama supporter who decided to do something incredibly horrible, all because he was pissed at alegre. I'm just sick and tired of listening to people talk about alegre, TexasDarlin, His44, etc. Just leave them alone. They're not our problem.

Sorry for the rant. Please don't take offense. As I said, it's not directed at you. I just haven't had a chance to talk to the person it was really directed at, so I used your diary as a place to vent.

I've occasionally read what has been posted over there, and don't understand the fuss over what 10-20 unhappy people on a blog think. The vast majority of this country rejects that kind of hateful thinking, but you'll always have some who have some serious issues.

My belief is Obama will win the election, regardless of what Hillis44 bloggers want.

Those are all just people bitter and depressed about their own sorry lives.

They aren't interested in liberal, progressive, democratic, moderate, or even conservative politics.

They are concerned with bellyaching and scapegoating others for the sorry existence that they  have found themselves in due to lack of intelligence and/or initiative.

Let them bitch.  They are amusing in their pathetic despair and not-so-"quiet desperation."

Hillaryis44 is unquestionably a radical cult.

The End.

Didn't know the site existed until this posting. Some nuttiness but that's not the only place you're going to find it on the net. That's the problem with the first amendment which is one of the great things about America. I'm against any restrictions on speech, any, some of these people may be twits but it's the price you pay. At the end of the day it's not very important.  

are probably some of the most socially-adverse people that exist.  They just sit behind the computer and spout rhetoric under the cloud of anonymity.

That level of assholism is best ignored.  It only encourages them if you pay attention.  

Holy crap.  Look at this from the comments.  

"Admin, I will not be polite... Karma baby that is all I will say, first Kennedy and his brain tumor, then the flooding in Iowa and now Russert... Obamatrons beware the wrath of God, you could be next"

Alegre and others, is this who you side with?  Wow.  Disgusting.

ìs the kind of sick logic that leads to this shit.

No, we would not be.

Saddam Hussein forced his population to celebrate while New York Burned.  I have heard this from the same sort of sick fucks as the slime on HI44:

`Yeah, but Americans would celebrate if Iraq burned.`

Bullshit.  If there has been an Iraq Burning Party, nobody sent me the invite.

Iran had a horible earthquake, we sent aid.  No-one danced.

These miserable nihilistic jerks on HI44 are the problem.  What you are seeing is a representation of the small group of assholes who live out the worst parody of American life.

They are not real people.  They are pond scum.  And they sure as shit are not American in anything beyond the unfortanate accident of their births.

My theory is that HillaryIs44 is a plant along with a number of the diarists (and posters) that used to reside on MyDD.  Think about it.

The GOP always wanted HRC to run against.  They've been revving up for it for years.  She has high negatives, they have tens of millions of dollars worth of opposition research on her they can bring up again, she voted for the war, she appears to be a political opportunist and the smear machine already had plenty of warning to work on her.  

I believe one of their strategies was to plant so-called "liberal Clinton supporters" online at popular websites, get them to integrate into the existing communities and act as a sort of "sleeper cell."  

From there, they could do plenty to hurt the HRC campaign.  They could start making over the top radical statements that some of their loyal readers would follow along with and create a meme for the media that HRC supporters were radical liberals.  They could "change their mind" at some point in the campaign and switch to McCain, which would create the meme that HRC was losing key supporters and her campaign was in trouble.  Or they could create division within the chronically fractured Democratic Party.  

Now it didn't work exactly as they wanted because HRC lost.  But they have managed to encourage the viewpoint that HRC was robbed of the nomination since she only lost the delegate and popular vote by a little.  

HillaryIs44 is just like a TV show you don't like. Just don't change the channel to that station. Likewise, just don't visit that site. Ignoring a**holds is simultaneously the best defense and offense against them.

As a Clinton supporter and delegate, I am fully backing Barack Obama as our nominee and will urge people on both sides to ignore trolls who attack Hillary or Barack.

to call them "dead enders".  I prefer "NOvermberists"  when you need to refer to them use their own words to identify them.  Don't lump them in with Clinton supporters with reservations.

there are two rec'd diaries still about Hillary and her supporters? This will not help Obama, makes him seem boring, the only story is still Hillary?

If you want Barack to win, as i do, you will stop looking up what Hillary's supporters are doing and saying. He won, she lost, this can't possibly do anything but make you seem like sore winners, who still can't give up bashing the opponent. In this case it's a same party opponent and ought never to have been smeared in the first place, had that not happened, Obama's win would be nicer, and not sullied by his supporters ongoing fascination with all things Hillary.

Grow up, Barack won, time to realize it and blog positive.  End the hate the contest if over, let that hate die?
