i saw a reference to the "obama haters" list sponsored by the worst designed web site in the world, http://blacks4barack.org/. man, that is the fugliest-ass site i've seen since 2000. *shudder*

anyway, it reminded me of the way people so casually use "hater". i remember seeing it used to describe women criticizing jessica valenti's book, full frontal feminism.

the conversation then spun out of control and 'hater' was lodged at everyone -- whether they were engaged in snide personal attacks or in valid criticism or some combination (of which the latter is a more typical mode).

"hater". it's just such a childish way of dismissing criticism. "oh. you just hate."

any thoughts?
