If you didn't constantly publish anti-Obama smear, maybe we'd be nicer

This is in response to the so-called "pro-Hillary"  bloggers that staged their strike/walkout yesterday.  I keep hearing from a small and vocal minority on this site that this site rejects anything pro-Hillary, and is only a place for "Obamabots" or "Obamamaniacs".  The problem with the arguments from these bloggers is that they almost never publish anything pro-Hillary.  They almost always publish diaries that are anti-Obama.  Not only are they anti-Obama, but they are usually based on smears that have already been thoroughly debunked by the hard working diarists on this site.  

Don't just take my word for it, see some examples after jump.

Here are some examples of the "pro-Hillary" diaries that some people are shocked are getting a negative reaction.

This is just a small sampling of the diaries published by some of the "Pro-Hillary" crowd.  With diaries like this, what do you expect our reaction to be?  The answer is exactly the reaction that we've been giving you.  You didn't post these diaries to encourage a reasonable discussion, you posted them to inflame people and have them attack you.  So for people to be shocked and appalled at the treatment some diaries are getting on this site is true hypocrisy.

You want people to start being nicer to you? Then start writing nicer diaries.  Write about why you support Hillary Clinton, and why you think she would make the best president.  I'm willing to bet that you'll get a better response that when you publish anti-Obama diaries.  And I'm not talking about the occasional pro-Hillary diaries in between Obama smears.  By that point, we know who you are and have tired of your antics.  

In fairness, I am sure there a few diarists who come here and write legitimate pro-Hillary diaries that aren't laced with attacks and smears.  I'm sure you probably get some negative reactions that are unwarranted, and I'm sorry for that.  But for the diarists that make the loudest stink about all of this, your getting the reaction you get because you ask for it.
