What have you been told you are thinking? (that isn't true)
When it comes to the current administration, people around here are always explaining what everyone who doesn't agree with them thinks.

What have you been told you thought about something that you don't actually think?

4. I hate our service people, I'm in a rage, I'm not a lawyer
nothing will ever make me happy, and my favorite, I'm cherry picking the law.

I'm a lot busier than I thought! lol :)

5. Today, I was told, again, that because I disagree with someone's 100% negativity about "government",
Edited on Fri Apr-17-09 03:47 PM by patrice
I think that person I disagree with is a bad person and that my criticisms of what has happened to this country in the last 8 years are criticisms of him/her and, when I tried to explain some of it better, that was regarded as an attack upon him/her. I was able to make the observation that this person assumes s/he knows that I am thinking, but s/he doesn't, and s/he doesn't ask, and s/he is in fact making a mistake about me, and that I have a right to try to correct his/her mistake in thinking that I am attacking him/her, when in fact I was just trying to share some information with him/her, and I was expecting him/her to share something from his/her point of view in return. And this isn't about politics. It's about what is happening to people.

After that, I had to give up.

:eyes:

6. I voiced disappointment with President Obama on a number of issues, so I'm
"spewing hate".

7. That I'm being paid for writing pro-Obama threads on DU

I guess I must be good at defending the man... because twice I've been accused of doing it for pay.


Hey Obama Administration, you reading this? I'm apparently worthy of some compensation here!

;-)

10. I'm an cheerleading paid operative/apologist for Barack Obama
since 2003, when I first started posting here,
and when I provide links and evidence to back my statements and arguments up,
then I am put on ignore.

Repeatedly.

14. That being naive, being paid off, and/or loving my own oppression...
...are the only possible reasons I don't accept someone's particular conspiratorial take on a issue or problem.
