yet another Kerry bashing thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1508756


this one is particularly odious.

Filled with disinformation and outright lies. It would be right at home in FreeRepublic. Why does DU allow this sort of thing? I don't understand.

1. I just saw that
God, Kerry does good and they still bash him. God they are so fucking smug, I feel like smacking them sometimes.

15. I know we're not supposed to call them out
But I think these threads start up BECAUSE Kerry did good. God forbid he should gain too much support and really be a threat to Bush Co.

It always seems calculated to me somehow. The timing is often suspicious. I wonder if someone is trying to keep Kerry marginalized as much as possible.

Or do I have a tinfoil hat on.

Sometimes they're just so stupid that they amuse me.

3. I've been noticing posters below the 1,000 mark...
...with a very negative, divisive tone in a lot of the threads. I can't help wondering if this is someone attempting to stir up problems here. Granted, some of the long-time posters fight like cats and dogs, and the lines are drawn, but I'm still suspicious about all these recent arrivals who take this particular tone (and not just about Kerry, either).

4. I actually alerted on it
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 03:24 PM by GRLMGC
and said that it was full of misleading info or sometimes outright lies. I doubt it'll work but it was worth a shot anyway.

Oh, and did you check out that guy who said he didn't vote for Kerry. Great job, buddy, a vote for whoever or nobody is a vote for Bush!

5. I alerted it also
beause of the outright lies about Kerry's voting record.

And the guy who didn't vote for Kerry is a long time adversary who I no longer bother replying to. It's better that his posts just lie there, unanswered. Kind of like a fresh, steaming pile of dogshit on the sidewalk that everyone steps around...

6. I caught one of them in a lie about DOMA
I was like excuse me but Kerry did not vote for Defense of Marriage Act, of course they were too full of themselves to admit they were wrong. Kerry could end war hunger, and they'd complain that he did it wrong or was cocky doing it, or if he did it bipartisanly, they would complain abotu that.

17. He could be Mahatma Kerry
and they'd say he was campaigning for 2008.

Great, echoing Rush Limbaugh. Lefty dittoheads. Swell.

22. He could cure cancer and AIDS
Eliminate third world poverty and hunger, end war forever, and help little old ladies across the street, and it still wouldn't be enough.

"TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO DIED OF AIDS AND CANCER AND WAR BEFORE YOU GOT OFF YOUR ASS TO END IT??!!!11 IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU, EVERYTHING YOU EVER DO IS FOR YOUR OWN POLITICAL GAIN!"

And the beat goes on.... x(

7. I just got a post deleted in that thread
for accusing someone of using right wing talking points - and being suspicious because of that. I guess?

I truly don't understand this website anymore - it's ok to start a vicious Kerry bashing thread, filled with disinformation and outright lies, but when you point out that the arguments used are arguments from the Republican side - you get your post deleted...

and meanwhile, the thread sails on...


if it wasn't for the Kerry forum, I would have quit this place.

8. I noticed that
I don't get it. I want to give the mods the benefit of the doubt but sometimes, I don't understand their calls. Then again, it is theirs to make.

9. I mean, really...
the OP actually used something Cheney said to attack Kerry!!!

That and the flip/flop thing...

What could possibly be the purpose of starting a thread like that?

What????

10. I agree
Plus he's completely insulting to everyone. So, he's lying, misleading, attacking, but he's fine? I don't get it. There's also not much we can do.

11. Anyone who frequents the "other" board:
Should we perhaps create some sacrificial usernames and post that... THING... from last night whenever these punks get started?

It wouldn't last long, but I do wonder how in hell they'd respond to it. :evilgrin:

No, I guess I won't do that.

Now I wish I hadn't clicked. I know I was warned and it's my own fault... but geez, I really couldn't help myself after reading the replies on this thread.

No, wait, Kerry made me do it. :eyes: It's his fault that I clicked.

12. That was ugly...
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 06:56 PM by livvy
I'm sorry I read it, too. Maybe Kerry made me do it, also! Good comebacks by many. I'm just not that fast on my feet.
Why do these people with views like that even come to DU? I don't understand that mentality.
Ah...it's so peaceful in here. There are definitely some fruitcakes out there.

edit because something I wrote did not make sense. Still shakin' from the viciousness out there I guess. lol

14. Have you alerted?
I alerted on this bastard. Every single Kerry supporter in this forum should. If anyone deserves a stone... it's this motherfucker.

Call him out on flamebait and RW talking points, and of promoting division. Because he is.

Good to see you fighting the good fight, angrydem, as if you wouldn't. :P Did you see my newest thread? I ripped a hater, and boy did it feel good. :)

19. hahaha
I think there's a fatwa against all of us here in this forum.

Let's see, we're sycophants, persecutors, suppressors of free speech, ass kissers, pathetic, freeperlike, zealous, and, of course, DLC Repub-lite DNC operative Kerry slave-whores.

Did I cover everything?

Oh, yeah: and I'm Orrin Hatch. :eyes:

24. I learned to quit arguing with them.
I have done that on several threads now. It has worked in most cases to the effect the either shut up the bashing or leave the thread. But those people are like talking to block walls. That paticular thread just had a major Kerry hater in it that was arguing with anything and anyone. That is why it went on as long as it did. But it beats arguing with them and I piss the basher off just as much as they pissed me off for telling their bullshit lies and nasty ass remarks they make about Kerry. Only do it without arguing and actually have fun doing it now. If they are not lying and making nasty remarks I leave it alone. Because they have a right to support another candidate but they need to lay the hell off Kerry. Stop the damn lies and nasty ass remarks.

25. I just did what was probaby a no-no
I noted that two posters starting up a Dem Party bash both were missing their profiles, that they had low posting numbers, and that their timing stunk. Then I put them on ignore and left it at that. Ploink!
