I'd like to congratulate DU-ers on taking the media race/gender bait and running with it!

[mzmolly]

WOO HOO! :bounce:

There was a time when I considered DU-ers to be among the most intelligent people on the planet. I thought we saw through the media BS? I thought we knew when we were being played?

I wonder if we need a GD Primary "race/gender" baiting area for good measure?

[Swamp Rat]

1. NewsMax, Hannity, Limbaugh.... all over GD-P... woohoo!

[mzmolly]

2. Isn't it amazing Swamp?

Another "apt" graphic. Thanks for the much needed chuckle. ;)

[Swamp Rat]

5. I think it's granite cookie time.

[mzmolly]

8. You are the master

SR. :rofl:

[Hissyspit]

15. Amazing, yes, but embarassing is the word that comes to my mind more quickly.

Also pathetic, stupid...

[mzmolly]

21. Indeed.

:(

[villager]

3. we're cooperative little "iconoclasts," aren't we?

n/t

[pscot]

24. We have met the enemy

and they is us.

[kid a]

4. I would LOVE to see that forum created - move all race/gender threads there

We should be discussing IRAQ, the ECONOMY, the ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY and each candidates proposals / ideas.

You know, those secondary / boring topics.

[mzmolly]

29. Hear hear!

"We should be discussing IRAQ, the ECONOMY, the ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY and each candidates proposals / ideas."

[Horse with no Name]

6. Yep.

And many bring it here and defend it tooth and nail.
Some of the sources make me want to gag...
It has gotten so bad around here lately that FR links to US as a source for how bad Democrats are.

[mzmolly]

10. They must be feeling pretty hopeful

watching us?

[Horse with no Name]

16. LOL I really don't know Molly

But the crap here is so bad it is indistinguishable from there.
Many times when I log on I have to do a double take.

[mzmolly]

23. I hear you!

I literally shake my head in disbelief and disgust.

[K Gardner]

7. Molly, I never thought I'd see this from people who claim to be democrats. Still, the

only reason this garbage is here is because it is being allowed. That is what should stop.

[mzmolly]

9. That's a good point.

Why are we helping the R's stir the division pot here? :(

[K Gardner]

12. Its beyond me. Maybe everyone should write and ask. I did, but no answer.

[stillcool]

33. I think we have to alert more...

I get the same feeling when I alert, that I do when contacting my Congress-critters, but what the hey. It can't hurt. I've got to stop responding to some of this shit, or I'll be the one who gets tombstoned.

[BuyingThyme]

11. I frankly want the race and gender debates to continue right through November.

If not now, when?

[mzmolly]

13. Never. Why should this election be about skin color and gender?

Kriste, it's absurd.

[BuyingThyme]

14. Umm.. Because those are among the most important issues ever?

[mzmolly]

20. We're not talking about "issues" though.

nt

[BuyingThyme]

25. Yeah, not a lot of issues-talk here now, but when it comes down to it

I want Americans to understand exactly what the Republican Party is. From the Southern Strategy, to standing against worker's rights, to McCrazy's use of the word Gooks, to the MLK holiday non-observance in Arizona... I want to go right at it, non stop, warts and all.

[mzmolly]

26. Unfortunately, it seems some in our own Party have taken to this strategy.

That is what is so troubling to me.

[Kaylee]

17. What happened to DU?!

We now have people on DU with openly racist and bigoted posts. No matter how bad DU got in terms of candidate wars it never sunk to the depths of what I am seeing now. It is starting to look like YAHOO!'s racist boards.

[Lerkfish]

18. so, you're insulting us and then expecting us to agree with you?

good one.

:sarcasm:

the fact is, once is a mistake, but after 5 or 6 times using race against Obama, its clearly a strategy, and a transparent one at that.
Pointing that out does not make one an idiot.

[mzmolly]

19. Who's US? I support Obama.

I'm saying DU is taking the bait, and it's a shame. I don't care if you personally agree or not, frankly.

[Adelante]

22. Nixon Daze

It's like a time machine in here.

[populistdriven]

27. I am consistently called "racist" by HillBots - Yet my wife and kids are black

They are as bad as the Freepers.

[Swamp Rat]

28. Unconscionable

[populistdriven]

32. ok, now that's just, wow,... nice work Swamp Rat!

Did you do this in photoshop?

[Horse with no Name]

31. That's funny

Because I am consistently called racist by obamites.
Seems like there is a double-edged sword that is being played with here...

[mzmolly]

34. I guess we're all racist now?

LOL OY!

[Major Hogwash]

30. Don't worry, it'll get better after Hillary drops out.

And then we can start talking about what's really important.
