And lastly, on HillaryBottery
First of all, if someone supports the junior Senator, hey, be my guest. I happen to think that's a potentially catastrophic position, for reasons laid out in extensis elsewhere, such as here and here. This view is pretty widely held among Democratic strategists, by the way, certainly at the netroots and grassroots.
The larger point is this, though: I expect to be able to have a frank, realistic, and critical discussion of all the contenders. That's impossible when a HillaryBot, like our dearly departed Wallner, spams up every related thread with a variant of 'Oooh Hillary I want Hillary oooh and Bill too oooh yeah'. Wallner's arguments were, to sum them up, that
a) Bill and Hillary could sell themselves together, and who in their right mind would say no to that?
b) Hillary is considered, at this early stage, and by some metrics, the front-runner
c) Hillary is a woman, and it's about time for one of those.
Thing is, that's it. The end of the argument. And yeah, that gets kinda tedious. Granted, he feels comparably about Obama, but that would change if he were ever aware of the latter making a statement that addresses race issues, at which point HillaryBot Wallner would run screaming for the hills huffing about the 'race war' he'd be causing.
In short, HillaryBot Wallner has two themes: Hillary, and the assertion that talking about race in any context he's ever come across is harmful to civil discourse and 'turns people off'. And again, that's it, the end of the story, except that it's modulated again and again and again. "Repetitious"? Yeah, that's one way of putting it. As to the ludicrous idea that the Wallner-O-Rama's concepts somehow aren't getting through, Wallner, get over yourself. As I've said elsewhere, you're not that smart, and everyone else isn't that stupid.
And lastly, Wallner, please, for my sake and everyone else's, go get a therapist to talk out your issues, and don't spend all day hanging out on the blogs writing encyclopedias about yourself. I have an election to win and can't spend all day dealing with your cretinous bitchy whining.
