*******NEW REVEREND WRIGHT STATEMENTS UNEARTHED*******
Sadly, no. This is part of an experiment. Part 1 of the experiment was posting this thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5544758&mesg_id=5544758

...which is an issues-based thread containing factual information about both candidates. It immediately fell off the front page of GD-P with zero responses and only 21 views.

I guarantee you *this* thread gets more views (and I suspect more responses) simply by virtue of its title.

So tell me again why we're all up in arms about ABC not covering substantive issues?

Look in the mirror. We are part of the problem.

1. Wow.

It took exactly one minute for this thread to receive more views than the issues-based thread has received in the hour-and-then-some since I posted it. And you wonder why the networks focus on tabloid crap.

4. Knowing that the "networks focus on tabloid crap", I wanted to see what we had ahead of us.

3. You didn't put the shiny stars in the other title.

5. Proves nothing. I looked to see how much of an asshole you were. That's all.

If you would of went all out and posted something inflammatory you would guarantee more views and replies to this thread. Instead you have caught us all with our pants down and most of us will be too embarrassed to respond.
