I used to use a few names my self and I came to the realization that it was mean, unwarranted and childish.  So I made a conscious effort to stop. 
 
I think it telling that the repeat offenders here are the ones with the weakest (giving them the benefit of the doubt) arguments so they resort to childish behavior.  
 
Maybe with some luck one day we can just call her inmate followed by a number
 
One can always hope.  
 
I think it is pretty doubtful.  Look at the Iran Contra crime.  A few people got convicted, I think many were pardoned.  A few had probation.  No one in charge of the deal went to jail and that involved selling arms to Iran.
 
So I think it is doubtful that a few emails will get anyone sent to the slammer.  Even if she were convicted, Obama will pardon her.
 
He did not serve any time either.  Bush commuted his sentence as I recall.
 
I must have a thicker skin then most. Maybe because I've been a Libertarian for 40 years. After 35 of those years being filled with ridicule and outright hatred, calling someone a Nazi seems mild.
 
I try to stay away now from repeating those sins that were committed against me. However, Political Correctness makes me want to name call and be uncivil. I know that I am not alone in that regard. Comparing Obama to Hitler is wrong. Because Obama isn't smart enough to compete with Uncle Adolf.
 
It's a very long way from investigation to conviction on this. IMO it will depend upon resurrecting the server and reading every single e-mail to determine if any vital secrets were disclosed and to whom, did those secrets (if any) jeopardize US interests or lives and if so to what extent?
 
She could well be half way through her first term before this is resolved, assuming she gets elected.
 
The only way I see her spending a day incarcerated is if the Republicans win the White House and both houses of Congress along with a very strong body of evidence to support the current POTUS from pardoning her. The Oligarchy protects its own.
 
This has nothing to do with PC.  This is not similar in any way to giving all the kids a trophy just for showing up.  
 
This has to do with common courtesy and acting like an adult.  Hitler caused the death of over 50 million people.  He was directly responsible for the destruction of most of Europe.  
 
You do not have thicker skin.  You are just insensitive.  You are the same as the people who ridiculed you.  
 
Insensitive? Really?
 
I wasn't the one doing the name calling. I was not put upon this earth to please others. I have a free will. I am free not because the government says so. I was born that way.
 
Stalin killed a many as you say Hitler did, so maybe we should call or compare Hillary to Stalin? Would that be less offensive?
 
I'm unsure if comparing someone to Hitler is a bad thing. All but the smallest minority would agree that the actions of Hitler and the Nazi's were heinous acts. The comparison keeps the memory of Hitler's actions fresh in peoples minds  and determined not to allow them to happen again. That's not a bad thing. Better ways? Perhaps.

You do realize that you have offended people in a way they would consider just as reprehensible.

You don't realize it just as they don't. It is all about perspective and history.

Paradigms are a difficult thing to shift.

How about we go with "The Hildabeat"? or maybe the "Hillionaire" since everyone gets offended so easily? Clearly "Liar in Chief" is already taken by her old boss.
 
Well I'm offended by Federal Income Tax being confiscated from my wages. Can we eliminate that since I'm offended.
 
Offended? Put your big girl panties on and deal with it. K?

Again.  Why not use a persons name and formulate a logical argument?  Seems that is too difficult for some?
 
Right.  People are using Nazi references as a public service.  Good grief.
 
Of course they aren't! That however may be a by product of the usage.
 
i became a huge fan of Howard Stern. His racial and gender stereotypes were so over the top. Then I realized that some people really think that way. I was like "Oh Dear God, don't ever let me be that person". Soon I found myself looking at people differently. In a better way I think.
 
Sometimes words are just words.
 
I do not agree.  I think many here and far more out in the real world do not have much of a clue about what went on in WWII.  
 
I guess I have reached the age where I no longer see the sense in name calling.  If someone is offended by something whats the harm in changing?  Does that apply to all cases?  No.  It's discretionary.  I think it is reasonable for Native Americans to be offended by the term red skin, for blacks to be offended by the N word, etc.  It's not going to inconvenience someone not to use those terms.   
 
WTF is a "Native American"?
 
I was born here, that makes me a Native American.
 
Perhaps we could go with Indigenous Tribal Citizens as a more accurate descriptor, Or we could go with Indigenous Tribal Sovereigns and call them "ITS" for short? How would that be? OR we could just call then Indians and let it be.
