Is this DU or FreeRepublic?
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 11:58 PM by thewiseguy
By looking at the thread titles for a min I thought I was at FreeRepublic.

Why do some usual suspects who are absolutely full of shit get much attention or their threads get kicked up almost all the time?

This is DU for pete's sake. I expect to see this shit on FreeRepublic.

Outrageous thread titles backed by questionable sources.

Do some people even care about the economy or the fact that people are losing jobs? Or that the American troops are dying in Iraq?

Do our problems go away by discussing shit or acting like cyber warriors on the internet? For the purpose of tearing down other democrats?

4. I believe a lot of these posters are
Freepers acting like Obama supporters but are actually rethugs trying to stir up tension on DU. I could be wrong and it's actually there personality but I doubt it.

10. I would say there are just as many pretending to be Hillary supporters.
This isn't a inter-party partisan issue... remember that.

There is a lot of hateful things being said on here by both sides. It can't all be done but "real" democrats.

39. I'll say one thing- there are certain posters who are unable to think critically
but simply react in an exceptionally shallow and juvenile manner.

Just what one would expect to find on a far right board.

3. Clinton supporters have thought the same much of the time here.
No source has ever been off limits to bring her down around here. Didn't notice many people complaining then, though.

13. It's one thing to critique a candidate
it's another to use questionable sources as the base of one's critique, IMHO.

31. In answer to your question about the term Rethug
it is one of the many names we on DU have for Republicans or Neo-Cons. They get called Rethug, Repug, etc. Basically they all are same. Just our way of showing disgust with the Republicans in general.

11. Lots of Freeper action. I say we start a squad that labels posts and threads anti-Democratic Party.
As in divisive, splitter, opposed to the good of the Democratic Party.

30. And the fighting continues within this thread
We have degenerated into the Democratic Republic.

Did you know we have both a woman AND an African-American running for President? What a great time in our country. But a whole bunch of old, White, rich, Protestant men don't want that to happen. They want the status quo to continue. And they are doing their best to derail one of the true voices of the Progressive movement (DU sports fans) by infusing this Reich wing bullshit here. We've taken our eye of of the real enemy.


We should be ashamed of what DU has become. Free speech my ass, it's a free for all and we are the losers for it.:grr:

40. Since Edwards left the race there's no one left to drag the other two into policy discussions.
Now it's all about who will destroy the country quicker, the scary black man who hates white people or the shrew who supports bush*. This is why I keep saying that I doubt a Dem will win the white house - we let the only major contender who actually wanted to do something to help slip away. Now we're just left with a popularity contest in which the two contestants are free to destroy each other's credibility. Then the one who somehow survives that has to limp along toward November, bloodied, to face an unscarred repub.
