Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

the "Monster" thing and the reaction to it is something different. The Clinton campaign is trying to get the pity vote.

How pathetic.

the Chimp. Retard in Chief. The Devil with jugears. So on and so forth. You can see disrespectful nicknames for our current president all over the net (especially here), as far as I know, he doesn't whine about it that much.

Nobody feels sorry for George W. Bush around here. Nor should they. I'm not here to defend him, but he's taken some really humougus hits over the years, and in his campaigns, going back to Congress in 1978, he's never made an issue of it.

His father has, he's been a name-caller from way back (remember the "Iceman" crack during the 1988 debates with Dukakis?) But this isn't really about him either. It's about Hillary Clinton, her thin skin, and a truly novel campaign tactic.

"Vote for me out of pity."

What's strange here is it's working. In New Hampshire, thousands of people (mostly women) went to the polls because they felt SORRY for her.  You don't put someone in a position of authority because you feel sorry for them.

the forced resignation of Ms. Power was one of the most disgraceful acts in the entire Obama campaign. If Hillary can't take it, then she has no business being president.

You dont see Bush crying "they called me NAMES!!!—WAAAAAAAAAAAH!" now do you?

Poll

Should we be allowed to call Hillary or Obama no good, fatherfucking assholes if we want to?
