Is it me or is there an alert swarm tonight

In several threads, I'm in the middle of a discussion about racist posts and they're locked. Yet the actual racist posts are not.

12. Yeah, I'm damn tempted to post my post that got hidden today. I'm quite proud of it

Though to be honest, if I'd known it was going to be hidden anyway, I would have just fully gone for it.

It's going to be even worse here on Super Tuesday.

on DU. Its like they are coming out of the woods revealing their true sentiments. This reinforces my suspicions that a significant number of the most extreme Sander's supporters are actually gop plants. I was not on DU in 2008 but I was told it happened back then.
