5. I can't believe it, can I?
There must be an error in the paperwork, a snafu of some variety.

7. i don't remember which candidate he liked and who he hated.
not that it really matters to me, i'm sure many other posters here will be self tomb stoning once primary season is over---just like last time.

9. Yes. Once I thought of calling myself Draft_Harry_Truman.
And that was before the internets.

Well, I hope wherever DMC is these days, he is enjoying himself
every bit as much as I enjoyed him.

10. He supported Edwards and loathed Clinton, I believe.
He was a radical poster. Sorry to see him go.

6. What was the fatal thread? He and I got into some pretty heated
discussions, but I respected his terrier-like tenacity.

Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 03:47 PM by Tellurian
Too bad the O People had him banned...

The shame is on them for piling onto one poster!

11. He was relentless.
I spent the entire month of May going head to head with him over electability.

15. I've been there and done that with him...
it's when he realized Hillary's poise and potential overshadowed everyone else in the field. The Obama People didn't like that he relentlessly defended Hillary while pointing out Obama's weaknesses.

Perhaps, he knew before they did, he was on the right track. Her CNN polling numbers as of 4pm today are this:

CNN poll

Clinton 51
Obama 21

17. I can tell you exactly when he shifted to attacking Obama. The punjab memo.
Those threads got particularly ugly and DMC took it personally.

After that he was on jihad against Obama supporters whether irking them with articles slamming their guy or going after any attack on other candidates made by Obama supporters.

23. Come to think of it...yes, I believe you're right..
illustrating the 'dark side' at someone else's expense.. That kind of "think" is precisely why Obama's numbers are where they are..He and his... think bashing other supporters and their candidates with never ending ridicule is the way to win votes...heh... All it does is make Hillary's numbers go up..which works for us.

Funny thing is, not one of BO's supporters condemned the smear against the Indian people by their own campaign.

29. "bashing other supporters and their candidates with never ending ridicule.."
LOL! I don't think i've ever witnessed a more obvious pot-meet-kettle post on DU.

But that's ok.

Cheers! :toast:

22. I know. And the funny thing is he/she/it always claimed to be an Edwards supporter.
LOL! Dayum. I loved the passion and he/she/it was a relentless debater...but the thinly-veiled loyalties were so obvious.

24. You're wrong on that...He WAS sincere about Edwards..
he also saw how Hillary was surging in the polls. What good would it do to continue supporting some one who cannot win mainly because of poor financial planning? Hillary was his second choice. The more her campaign platform was revealed, I think, dmc was preparing to make the jump. Besides, Hillary thoroughly condemned the Obama campaign for their racist and ethnic slurs during their Indian smear campaign.

30. That is an untruth
No one faction of DU'ers can get someone banned.

Maybe he got the axe because he couldn't behave himself after being warned?

32. Oh contraire my friend
Happened with some regularity during the 04 primaries. A posse showed up from Thugs-are-us and, frankly, the place still hasn't completely recovered. Never will.

13. If he was banned, I'm surprised
He was Johnny One Note on Obama but his threads were so easily debunked it didn't matter to me. Dude was a totally inept pitbull.

I have my suspicions

I too have my suspicions.

He/she/it and I had numerous run-ins. A DU original...

18. I believe he was really hurt that those who disliked him would go to such lengths
to have him banned. The ignore feature is at everyone's disposal. Except, pileons and mass outrage geared to a mob mentality seem to be more fun for some.

21. Hey he had the balls to admit when he was mistaken...
I went several rounds with him over Hillary's electability...but when the evidence started to roll in that he was mistaken...he manned up and admitted it...

28. not my experience
He became a large Hillary supporter and may have apologized to the HRC supporters. He called me a Brown shirt for arguing Obama's stance on merit pay. And that was after one post! He or she wasn't man/woman enough to apologize.

I didn't want him banned, would have liked to meet him/her face to face though.
