Poll question: 155 threads so far with "wright" in the title.
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 12:50 PM by Buzz Clik
Well, it was 155, now it's 156.

We all know that DUers are easily distracted, whether it's some blonde gone missing, the latest Republican having sex with chickens, or scary Africa-Americans verbalizing the rage we all feel.

But why are there 156 threads on exactly the same topic?

5. By the Way, I voted for the "boring pointless lives" option
But in reality I have been neglecting the meaningful things I have to do in real life today to be adding to the Wright thread total.

Oh I love DU. The greatest legal drug there is....:)

7. For the sake of full disclosure:
I have "hidden" every thread in GD-P with "Wright" in the title. I'm about to do the same for this one. (You didn't know you could hide your own worthless threads, did you?)

10. Amazing, isn't it?
I'm on the verge of putting myself on ignore, but I'm afraid I'd create a blackhole and put a sudden end to the universe.

It's a start.

8. The REAL answer - DU must discuss whatever...
Andrea Mitchell is discussing. She speaks for all the major pundits*, but is thought to be a reporter.


*includes corporate shills, media whores and Clinton campaign operatives.

13. UPDATE: 210 new threads in the past 24 hours dedicated to Wright.
DU has slid into the cesspool of distraction.

"It's the media!!!!"

No, people -- it's you.

17. There are roughly four themes:
1. Wright's reappearance has destroyed Obama's career. :applause:
2. Wright's reappearance has destroyed Obama's career. :cry:
3. Wright's speech/Q&A were kickass! :headbang:
4. All this Wright stuff has been given legs only by the MSM/Hillary campaign.

are rooting for Obama.

25. I have to admit, the Hillary supporters are organized to the point that
their comments all sound so similar...almost word-for-word parroting of each other as if they were posting out of some handbook or something. Even many of the media talking heads parrot the same verbiage in almost the exact same sequence. Watching Morning Joe and it was like, "Hey, someone posted that exact same statement earlier on DU". Guess Joe must take his talking points from the HRC supporters on this site.

28. It's been an ongoing trend.
You'll see three or four threads in 30 minutes with the same language making the same silly claims.

33. I hope many folks here on DU are realizing that
because it speaks VOLUMES on the real base of support for HRC here on this and other progressive sites. At least it does to me....and apparently to you as well.

24. Yup.
And then people on here bitch about the MSM not covering the "real" issues. Looks like they know what people want to see after all, eh. How long before you think we get 300 threads on economic policy at the same time? ;-)

27. On the bright side, the last Wright flare-up generated 2000 threads.
We're still quite a way from that.

34. I have been hiding every thread that mentions Wright in the OP.
but I've only got 85 on my hidden list. Clearly, my Ignore list is protecting me from the other 225 threads.

:woohoo:

35. Because Wright and Obama may have lost the GE for the Dems
in this "historical" election and it may piss off a few dems.

any other questions?

38. It's April 29, and the GE is in November. We don't have a nominee, yet...
you have decided that one of the potential nominee's former pastor has lost the GE election for us.

And then you top it off with an insult to me.

Yes, you are hysterical.

"He's a hero"
"America needs to hear his message"
"He speaks the truth"

41. How many FL/MI threads have there been?

Thankfully the "abducted by aliens" threads have not gotten a foothold
or we all might be listening to Art Bell right now.
