If we are going to be total children and continue to lobby for nicest side...I have to say that regardless of who was meaner in the end, I was on the very first posts when Miers was nominated, and the Pro-Miers side was immediately condescending, dismissive, and began the namecalling. One need only do a search for the first threads. Any of us who simply voiced doubts, particularly when Reid seemed happy, were called the Donner Party, DU trolls, traitors, closet liberals, and a host of more personal insults. We were also all dismissed as false conservatives, extremists (strangely inconsistent, I know), and despite our obvious numbers we were marginalized as libertarian-never-for-Bush naysayers which was erroneous and disingenuous.

So anyway, here we are. We all called each other names. Waahhhh.

Hang on, madconservative. I remember that first live thread well. There were people on that thread who said they were going to vote for Hillary because of the pick! That thread was crazy, partially because the battle lines had not been truly drawn yet.

That being said, I don't want to excuse any namecalling on that thread, but the guy who said he'd vote for HRC really set things off and got people saying all kinds of crazy things.

Like I've said before, I miss the days when dems and jihadists were the only enemy.

I was posting from the very first on the Miers threads, and while there were many fair posters in the anti-Miers camp, I cannot think of one pro-Mier poster who threw insults. Miers was called everything in the book including, dumb, a lesbian and Caligula's horse. Please provide me the links to 5 posts of those who were pro-Miers and called names. Once again, I want to thank the anti-Miers posters who were fair.
