Good grief. Talk about carping about minutiae. I didn't imagine that anyone could be that desperate for things to find wrong with supporters of Sanders.

(39,284 posts)Does O'Malley's low cap key factor here shed light on his standing in the polls?

merrily
(45,251 posts)But sure, no call out of Bernie's supporters for anything, no matter how asinine, could possibly be considered rude at DU. At DU, it's merely de rigueur to call out Bernie Supporters. I mean, good gosh, who could possibly consider a call out of Bernie supporters rude?
Recursion
(56,582 posts)And, no, what's generally been considered rude on the Internet for the past 30 years or so is posting in all caps. Not pointing out when others do it.

All crap, all the time. Misinformation, distraction, false witness, assimilation of right wing ideology thankfully minus the southern strategy, though when push comes to shove they will go there too. See the Clinton dogwhistle in 2008 and other DINO's jumping in with both feet to destroy ACORN.

(56,582 posts)And as an O'Malley supporter I wish that weren't so, but that is actually what has happened.
Are you saying Clinton jumped in with both feet to destroy ACORN?
TheKentuckian
(24,949 posts)It was just an example of how they will will go to southern strategy garbage when the heat is on and the TeaPubliKlans are in a feeding frenzy or for lame political purposes like the Clinton dogwhistle.

(44,762 posts)is meh, I recommended the two by the Sanders supporters and the other one is about polls and seems to be by a person who is just sick of the arguing. So yeah five OP titles with CAPS is a bit much. But interestingly enough I only see one in ALL CAPS in support of Sanders which must be a real bother.
merrily
(45,251 posts)and is "quite remarkable!"
Coming soon: an OP about rude punctuation by supporters of Bernie Sanders. The possibilities are endless!

(44,762 posts)It will our fault for giving them that ammunition to use Maybe we need to appoint a few people to keep and eye on that so to speak

You raise an interesting point BN. I will say that the O'Malley supporters here have turned me on to him. His supporters I've seen here at DU I like a lot. Very intelligent, very liberal and very thoughtful. I can't think of a better way to represent a candidate. Because of reading their posts here I have looked at his proposals and really will consider voting for him in the primary in my State if he's still in the race.
