Hi, Bernie supporters! I am back

[kath]

from being Flagged for Review.
You can check my transparency page for what my last 2 hides were for.

It is truly sad what DU has devolved to.

[VulgarPoet]

1. Ugh.

When a racist can be venerated on this site just because they have a long history here, that's a sign it's time to put up the mask. Can't wait for this primary season to be over so I can return to full-time on FSTDT and JPR. This place has butchered my faith in the collective intelligence of the American people.

Welcome back, though.

[kath]

3. Isn't it interesting that the comment from FrontPage Mag made it to FSTDT because

it was considered to be very vile, yet so many here see it as no big deal?

People on DailyKos thought it was a big deal, felt it to be inexcusable, and excoriated the author for it (and she hasn't posted there since) but the fan club here says "meh".

[VulgarPoet]

4. I'm not surprised it made it to FSTDT

hell, the absolute scum of the internet makes it there. Sort of a bathtub drain catch of sorts. what does surprise me is that so many here consider it to be "not a big deal".

[kath]

7. One would think that the DU Admins wouldn't want someone who made the

Vile Sentiments Hall of Fame (the absolute scum of the internet, as you put it), which is what FSTDT is, to be posting here, wouldn't one??

[VulgarPoet]

8. tbh, I don't think they'll start caring till after primary season is over.

It's a copout to me, but what do I know. I'm just a minority of a minority of a minority (bisexual half-black enlisted liberal), I'm just one of the "use in x, y, or z intervention then throw away" pawns.

[JonLeibowitz]

5. I still have not forgiven that poster for those words.

BlueNorthwest made some very astute comments on that apology thread, and they were never addressed. It's quite sad, really.

[arcane1]

6. And that poster will relish the attention, whether positive or negative. Just like Trump n/t

[Arazi]

14. oh she's all over today, just a complete victim. Its actually very hard to watch, pathetic

[polly7]

9. It's very interesting.

After watching them for years in their safe haven accuse everyone who didn't tow their line as being racists, misogynists - even rape supporters. But the racist claims had really escalated. Very strange they didn't show up to excoriate someone who brought it here and made the vile statement.

[VulgarPoet]

12. Because that person is one of their staunch members, one of their *leaders.*

The fact that no excoriation has occurred tells me they're all complicit.

ETA: Hell, I went and logged out just to give a once over without my ignore list in place, and the vast majority of 'em don't even know what that person was talking about in their apology. Hell, someone brought up WillyT-- which imo, was just as bad, but total attempt to deflect. As far as I'm concerned, once a racist, always a racist.

[polly7]

13. I was banned from that group for responding to a direct call-out

(which is against TOS here, but that person is special) - regardless, I shoved her lies back at her and more, so it was worth it. They will never admit their own defense of very real and vile racism - it's always how someone else is so much worse. And, I agree with you.

[wendylaroux]

2. congrats? for being spared.

you better watch it girlie!! <----------sarcasm

[SoapBox]

10. Welcome back...

Are you sure you're up to this?

[farleftlib]

11. Glad you're here. n/t

[riderinthestorm]

15. Welcome back! I am thoroughly sick of her shit!

Her bigotry finally exposed and YOU get the hide and FFR??!!



I am glad she's getting some push back in GDP and elsewhere.

[Autumn]

16. Yay!! Glad to are back

that hide was ᗺullshit. Be careful because some folks will be after you.

[kath]

17. Silenced again.

In my other thread.
As mentioned by bmus and riderinthe storm in the "apology" thread, Will Pitt's POSUCS comment was brought up over and over and over and over again, as were WillyT's posts.

Yet shining a light on Bravenak's awful bigoted comments is called a "personal attack" and any discussion of her vile anti-Semitism needs to be shut down??

[Bjornsdotter]

18. You are the target du jour

19. Thanks for posting that.

I really appreciate being notified of all alerts, as I think many of you do. (And if you don't want to do it publicly (which I think is preferable), then please do so privately in a PM.

Interesting how HRC fans complain bitterly when posts are hidden in their protected Group, yet it is VERY clear that they are stalking this group.

I think that even Skinner has stated previously that making a negative comment on a DUer's statements is NOT a personal attack; calling them things like "motherfucker" or saying "fuck you" DOES constitute a personal attack.

[melman]

20. Depends who you are

Some seem to be able to get away with a lot of 'fuck you' and 'fuck off' posts.
