It is not conducive to civil discussion to have a "Latest Threats" tab

If we want people to discuss things civilly, then I don't see any good purpose served by highlighting the most obnoxious posts on DU with its own navigation tab. It only serves to foster and promote a Jerry Springer Show atmosphere to direct people to find the "Latest Threats".

I, for one, refuse to use it.

Petraeus to run in 2016 on "plural marriage equality"

Well, the GOP has been looking for a new platform.

So, where did the Romney storm relief stuff go, anyway?

I know it is probably a stupid question, but what, really did they ever do with that stuff they picked up at Wal-Mart?

Question - how many votes did Obama get in Boehner's district?

If someone could point me in the direction of where to drill that down, I'd love to know.

So, have our crazy friends concluded Petraeus was "set up" yet?


<nutjob>

Of course the only reason why he was kept in the administration was to give the Obama thugs time to set him up and knock him down in order to eliminate him as a future political opponent.

I question the timing here. Just as we are re-grouping from the stolen election, they kneecap the best prospect for 2016.

If they haven't come up with this on their own yet, then perhaps someone might give them some help. Throw the drowning folks another anchor.

Can't decide if I'm lazy or still just unpatriotic


The GOP confuses the heck out of me. Last time I voted for Obama, I thought it was because I hate America. But now I am led to believe that this time around I did it because I'm lazy and looking for a handout.

Can it be that I've become so complacent about hating the United States, that I simply became too lazy about it?

Megyn Kelly - "When we rehearsed this..." Catch it?

When Karl Rove went into meltdown over Ohio (during which Ohio itself became irrelevant), I was dipping into the schadenfreude by watching Fox.

Basically, they had him throwing his hissy while Anchormodel Megyn Kelly was sent from the news desk, camera in tow, to the "decision desk" boiler room to convey Rove's questions.

As she was going down the hall, she got to a point where she said "When we rehearsed this, my sound cut out right about here" indicating the range of her wireless headset.

"When we rehearsed this"?

They "rehearsed" Rove's freak out and her dramatic stroll to the decision desk?

Anyone else notice that? Why, pray tell, would they have "rehearsed" that performance?

Early Voting Exit Polls Of Undecided Voters...

...indicate that many of them couldn't figure out where to insert a quarter to get the voting machine to play any songs they wanted to hear.

They are said to have been both disappointed and confused.
