People call this Group a echo chamber. This is what a echo chamber really is and it should scare

[William769]

the hell out of you that places like this exist.

This is the "new rule" at JackpineRadicals:

"We have a new rule: henceforth, any speculation about Bernie possibly not winning the Democratic nomination must be phrased as follows: "If Hillary and her DNC steals the election, and if Hillary is not indicted for the obvious criminally jeopardizing of national security by using a personal mail server as SOS to evade FOIA, then..."

Failure to use this phrasing or something very close when speculating that Bernie might not win the nomination will result in a deleted post. The second time it happens, the poster will be banned."

OMFG!

[DemonGoddess]

1. Christonapogostick!

[IamMab]

2. "Radicals" isn't the R-word I'd used to describe such people...

Just sayin'!

[Iliyah]

3. UGH

[sharp_stick]

4. Definitely not out of the denial phase yet

They're a little on the slow side. I just wish they'd manage to hang out there more often and leave the adults alone.

[George II]

5. Viva la Revolucion

What's next? Perhaps:

[Laurian]

6. Wow.

That would certainly give me pause before continuing to participate in that forum.

[stonecutter357]

7. The stench of Libertarians are all over JackpineRadicals:.

[Buzz Clik]

8. LOL! They are following the path established in Animal Farm

“It had become usual to give Napoleon the Credit for every Successful achievement and every stroke of good fortune. You would often hear one hen remark to another, “Under the guidance of our leader, Comrade Napoleon, I have laid five eggs in six days” or two cows, enjoying a drink at the pool, would exclaim, “thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon, how excellent this water tastes!”

[BootinUp]

9. I could never be a party to that kind of nonsense. nt

[Firebrand Gary]

10. And that is what we call fringe.

Freaky.

[Maru Kitteh]

51. That's not "fringe" - that's the edge of the damn solar system.

[Firebrand Gary]

52. ROFLMAO

[Cha]

11. Oh Really.. "Hillary criminalizing national security by using a personal mail server as SOS.. blah

blah blah.."

But eddie snowden was okay.. Oh I know they're hypocrites.. just sayin'

Thank you for this, William.. scary as hell.. grateful there was never a chance for me to get wrapped up in that whole BS thing.

"Failure to use this phrasing or something very close when speculating that Bernie might not win the nomination will result in a deleted post. The second time it happens, the poster will be banned."

No way would Hillary supporters be treated like we can't think for ourselves by the Admins @ http://hillaryclintonsupporters.com/

[William769]

13. I'm reminded of Reverend Jim Jones.

[workinclasszero]

48. Same here

The Sanders fanatics have been drinking the Dear Leader's kool-aid for a long time now.

[Koinos]

62. The only antidote is truth, but it doesn't taste so good.

[KittyWampus]

23. The nexus between Snowden/Greewald rabid supporters and Sanders supporters

is quite pronounced on DU.

Same bullies.

[stopbush]

12. I guess the echo intensifies as the walls of the canyon close in.

[Basic LA]

29. Nicely put.

[rbrnmw]

14. OMG

[Starry Messenger]

15. Wow.

[Koinos]

16. Authoritarian (totalitarian) socialism hard at work.

"Our way or the highway." There is nothing democratic about these personality types. They do not discuss; they do not negotiate; they do not adapt to the needs and desires of others. They are the bearers of truth. All others are mistaken, uninformed, or liars.

In a democracy, tyranny can emerge from the far left or far right. People who think they know better than everyone else are anxious to acquire power, and they have no patience for slow deliberative democratic process. Their goals may have merit, but these goals are vitiated by methods which are far from democratic.

[misterhighwasted]

56. That is socialism exactly. Athoritarian. One leader at the top with all the power,

..while the people exist in a worker camp structured lifestyle.
A meager life with little hope of anything as an individual.

The USA will never be the commune of Bernies dreams.

[George II]

58. Don't forget, the kibbutz that he went to live on after college was patterned...

....after life in the Soviet Union.

[misterhighwasted]

70. He was young and impressionable.

This is a simple case of one yearning for the days of youth. Reliving a simpler more carefree time.

I remember moving on and occasionally reflect on the naivete of my youth. I wanted it to last forever. Then we grew up.

[George II]

72. But he was several years older than Hillary Clinton was when she stopped being..

....a "Goldwater Girl". Do you think that stops anyone from pointing that out every chance they get?

[misterhighwasted]

74. He couldn't have gotten past the front door of the Campaign unless he tore down her character &

reputation first. He picked up with that mission as soon as Gowdy was fininsed with the email MEDIA beatdown.
Bernie grabbed the baton and made it his campaign mantra.

He's an opportunist and nothing more than that.
But we all know how he got where he is.
Some saw it long ago.

[Koinos]

61. But Bernie said the bread lines were a good thing.

Soon he will promise free trips to the Vatican for everyone!

The atheist socialist dream vacation!

The jokes write themselves.

[misterhighwasted]

73. How many Americans would really want that life?

He should have sent out a preliminary questionaire, before assuming he could convince enough people to jump on the dream with him.

It wouldn't be my chosen path in life. But under Bernie's Soviet style authoritarian socialism, I wouldn't have to worry about choosing my own path, anyway.

Just sayin'

[DesertRat]

17. Wow! nt

[SunSeeker]

18. Wow. How can "progressives" be so authoritarian?

[stonecutter357]

19. it's not progressive it's Libertarian all the way.

[SunSeeker]

24. Even more puzzling, since Libertarians are supposed to be all about "liberty."

Reminds me of the old Bill Maher line, "Libertarians are just Republicans who want to smoke pot."

[SharonClark]

37. LOL

[yardwork]

89. Trotskyites, more like.

[GusBob]

20. Directly out of the soviet handbook

directive # GULAG

[pandr32]

21. Wow!

Thanks for the post! OMG!!!

[72DejaVu]

22. Stalinists.

[workinclasszero]

49. Bingo

[GusBob]

25. Who wrote that word salad of bullshit some 8th grader?

EDIT: never mind I found out. Yes some juvenile

[yallerdawg]

26. They had the same rules here!

These same JPR members spent all their time chasing down and alerting/swarming on pro-Hillary posts - and then their endless comments to provoke us.

They clearly stated they were not Democrats, and would never vote for Hillary.

Which ended our positive engagement with them, and created our resulting disenchantment with "Democratic Underground."

You could say, "Mission Accomplished."

[GusBob]

28. Have you ever seen a group with so many pinned threads as the BS group?

last time I checked there were like a dozen

the authoritarian is strong in there. the little red pins are so soviet

[Dr Hobbitstein]

27. Link and a screenshot.

http://jackpineradicals.org/showthread.php?9700-New-rule-for-posts-on-jpr

[GusBob]

30. It is posted by one of their members

who claims it was written by another

someone who was banned from DU

good job admin. thank you

[yallerdawg]

33. Mary is one who told me personally in a thread argument...

she is a democratic socialist and would never vote for Hillary.

Have we lost friends here?

Mary and I originated the big push to get Omaha Steve recognized for his singular commitment to Labor Group info and threads.

Now Omaha Steve's Labor Group.

Yeah - there are some burned bridges at DU.

And a whole lot of new friends!

[KittyWampus]

35. "I did lose an account earlier today by accusing someone of being a Brock troll."

So now we know for sure some of the

Sanders supporters on DU are socks… LOL!

[R B Garr]

85. Wow, yet more proof they are abusing the jury

system. Hope the Admins see the extent of the ill will they wish to generate.

Yet reading through that JPR thread, it sadly sounds a lot like a thread that could be here, and it's allowed. No way you could match those insults in kind without getting a hide or the new goal of perpetual Flagged for Review.

At least it's almost over! Bye bye Bernie.

[yardwork]

90. I saw that and some other interesting comments.

[KittyWampus]

93. Yes, apparently it was a concerted strategy to start talking about Bill Clinton's past

in an exaggerated and rightwing nut fashion.

[ismnotwasm]

31. C'est ridicule

I just read over there. There are a number of some bodies who are not taking the high road, as I'm just positive was mentioned--in one form or the other. Halo's are tarnished. Tsk.

[Bobbie Jo]

32. That's just bizarre, folks.

Wow.

You mean they actually put that in writing? Seriously, no words here.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. thats not an echo chamber, that's delusional and paranoid

an echo chamber is GDP

[Andy823]

36. Sounds a lot like

The Gestapo has taken over. These are the same people that come here everyday and bash Hillary and her supporters. They also complain all the time about how "unfair" they are being treated, how picked on they are, and how soon there will be a purge of anyone who is a Bernie supporter, yet they come up with these insane rules for their board!

[obamanut2012]

40. I thought the same thing

Some are DUers, many probably serve on juries here.

[Squinch]

60. Wait! NO! I figured out what it reminds me of! The NUNS in grammer school! We had to

recite lots of weird shit for them, and we weren't allowed to have opinions either.

THEY'RE ALL THE DOMINICAN NUNS FROM MY GRAMMAR SCHOOL OVER THERE AT JACKPINE RADICALS! BERNIE SANDERS IS SISTER MARY ILLKICKYOURASS WITHOUT THE HABIT!!!!

I KNEW HE LOOKED FAMILIAR!!!!!!!

[rbrnmw]

75. thank God for the Jesuits

[SharonClark]

38. Chairman Mao would be proud. Are forced reeducation camps far behind?

[George II]

68. And limits on the number of children a couple can have?

[obamanut2012]

39. Good God

[UtahLib]

41. Oh, but we Admin and mods

are doing this for your own good. Now be good little bots and do as you're told or pay the consequences of no longer being an acceptable member of our glorious little echo chamber.

[Cha]

64. Right on , sistah!

[UtahLib]

65. Hey, you

Made me so nauseous that I wasn't able to slog through the entire murky swamp.

[mcar]

42. Freedom!!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. Freedumb!

Fixed it for you.

[mcar]

57. Thanks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

43. Sounds like a place to avoid

Kim Jung Un style loyalty.

[BlueMTexpat]

45. Sounds more like

Jackpine Fascists ...

[Kaleva]

46. That site will disappear

No debate or controversy will lead to boredom and members will drift off to other, more interesting forums.

[workinclasszero]

47. Mind numbed robots anyone?

Damn...it sounds like North Korea over there in Bernie Worship Land!

Ill be sure to lurk over there when sanders finally has to admit he lost

[realmirage]

50. what a bunch of low IQ losers

[Tarheel_Dem]

53. But their Dear Leader said "the American people are SICK of hearing about those damn emails", right?

Have they reneged on that as well?

[radical noodle]

54. I'm speechless

Is this what comes with Democratic Socialism? If so, I want no part of it.

[NanceGreggs]

55. Kicked!!!!!

[Squinch]

59. The cultishness is totally bat shit crazy, but the GRAMMAR! That's CRIMINAL!

These people are a joke.

[yardwork]

91. I noticed that, too. Fascism and poor grammar seem to be correlated.

[Her Sister]

63. So glad I did not vote for BS!

More glad every day!

[MBS]

66. " " " " n/t

[murielm99]

67. Kick

[pnwmom]

69. And this is supposedly a group of progressives? Wow. n/t

[George II]

71. ATTENTION ALERTERS!

Please read this OP before alerting:

"MESSAGE ABOUT SOP ALERTS FOR THIS GROUP"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=56145

Thank you.

[William769]

81. I love pissing in their wheaties.

[WhiteTara]

76. No wonder I never darkened the door. nt

[Walk away]

77. No wonder they are so cranky! Their heads hurt from thinking in convoluted circles if....

circles are not indicted for being round and Bernie was a round circle who somehow became the leader of the free world without having to be elected but magically stole the election and then sued the Democratic Party.

Failure to repeat this to themselves day in and day out will result dealing with reality!

[fleabiscuit]

78. LMFAO!

They be idiots.

[greatauntoftriplets]

79. That's not even good grammar.

[brer cat]

80. Wow! and Wow again!

Thanks for the enlightenment, Bill. K&R

[Amimnoch]

82. *shrug* their site, their rules.

Never been there. Don't plan on going there.

If that's what it takes for them to feel better about things.. *shrug*.

[NuclearDem]

83. But *we're* the authoritarians.

Cultists.

[MADem]

84. It's good that they have a place to go and express their frustrations.

I have a feeling they'll be feeling quite a few of those frustrations fairly soon!

[NastyRiffraff]

86. I thought we were supposed to be the ones with jackboots

They call themselves progressives? (Personally I prefer liberal, anyway). Liberalism is against authoritarianism in any of its forms, fascism, totalitarianism, Soviet-style or Maoist communism, etc. If they want to institute a rule like that, they of course can do that on that site. It's batshit crazy, but whatever.

They are welcome to their own little world; I hope they stay there and stop polluting DU.

[Cha]

87. Notice all they do is Project a lot.. "jackboots", authoritarians" "echo chamber"

"bullies" "stacked juries" "fascism" "totalitarianism" etc ad nauseam.. the whine list goes on and on..



Riff~

[Orrex]

88. Wait a minute... It's "pine?"

I'm pretty sure that someone on DU sat it was "ass."

More research...

[Loki]

95. I could have sworn I read "off" somewhere.

Lemmings.

[Laser102]

92. Have not been there. Happy about it now.

[JustAnotherGen]

94. I'm having some funnies with the 'paid poster' thing lately

Thanks for the link. Now I'm going to double down on "I get paid $500 per post at DU" with - "WTF! How come I'm NOT getting paid to peep!?!?"


Pure gold there - pure gold!

[Cha]

96. KICK!

[Princess Turandot]

97. Have they started distributing these yet?

Something true believers should never be without!
