Letters to the Editor

@ ljwalker53
I understand the insecurity of junior high wannabes desperate to be part of the neat group so they can feel better about themselves, but you can give up on the "rhymin' simon" language to berate (that means to chastise) Clinton and her supporters. We get it: Junior High Hijinx.
To your first point, I have no desire to be back in junior high (does anyone really?), and being part of the "neat" group holds no appeal for me either (nor do the "spiffy," "ginchy," or "gee whiz" groups).
To your second point, I came up with "Shrill Hil Shills" after reading an article on this very website about how rhyming terms resonate with listeners. And since Salon's own editor-in-chief has decided that it's okay to deride passionate Obama supporters as "Obamabots," I thought I'd return the favor.
Also, note to Joan and other SHS's: "Obamabot" isn't really an insult to us children of the 80's who grew up with the Transformers. If anything, it makes us feel like a heroic army of twenty-foot tall robots fighting the evil forces of the Decepticlintons.
