I don't think it's right to describe Fellow Democrats that way.

[Warpy]

1. One thing conservatives excel at is hating anyone to the left of them.

Our conservatives just know more words than theirs do.

[madfloridian]

2. A lot more words.

[hifiguy]

3. We KNOW who they are

and we laugh and fart in their general direction.

[haikugal]

51. Why yes we do!

LOL....

Um, what are we talking about?

[Igel]

4. The person's not describing all fellow Democrats that way.

In fact, arguably it's describing very few fellow (D) that way.

It's describing the fringe left that tends to think of Obama as a corporatist crypto-fascist. There are such. "Liberal" is the wrong word to describe them. They don't seem to be able to be happy.

It's not just a left/right sort of thing. I heard some gay rights activists lash out at the recent SCOTUS decision because it was wrong. It had the right conclusion, but the argument was insufficient: Unless gays are a protected class, they're missing out on a large portion of the civil rights express. That has to be the next struggle, be listed as a protected class.

[madfloridian]

8. IMO even calling a few that is not okay.

[OKNancy]

16. Do you speak up for all Democrats who are called bad names?

Hillary? Obama? or their supporters?

[sheshe2]

22. That is an excellent question Nancy.

[madfloridian]

28. I don't use those terms. I don't like it when others do.

Do I say anything? Sometimes I do.

Sometimes I can't because I am not the board monitor.

Maybe we should all say something to each other when things get out of control.

[BrotherIvan]

29. It was a Hillary supporter who posted that article

Why don't you take it up with her?

[OKNancy]

49. that isn't the topic

and I was speaking to madfloridian. I actually agree with the original post. Some people need to cool the rhetoric.

[BrotherIvan]

54. That is the topic of the OP

But of course you are trying to change it.

[seveneyes]

5. The path to a collision course

[NanceGreggs]

6. Well, I don't think it's right ...

...to describe fellow Democrats as Obamabots, Hillbots, mindless cheerleaders, Tiger Beat fans, authoritarians, corporatists, or lackeys for the one percent.

I also don't think it's right to describe the Democratic president as a piece-of-shit used car salesman, a sellout, a spineless water-carrier for the wealthy, nor to infer (without any evidence whatsoever) that he is on-the-take and is selling the nation down the river for personal financial gain.

In addition, I don't think it's right to tell AA Democrats that they should keep their concerns about racism to themselves, or to declare that they - or anyone else here - only support Hillary because they "recognize her name", being too damned stupid to vote based on anything other than that.

I also don't think it's right to state, on what purports to be a website devoted to electing Democrats, that one won't vote unless their candidate-of-choice is the nominee - and actually encourage others to follow suit.

I guess that shoe really pinches when it's on the other foot, eh?

And now is the time for all good alerters to step in and alert on this post - because that's what a lot of people here do when they see anything they think they can get a "hide" for when someone says something they disagree with - or something that hits too close to home.

Oh, and I hope someone PMs me the jury results - because being told I am being "disruptive" by sticking up for Democrats on DemocraticUnderground is always good for a laugh.

So fire away, oh ye of the no one is a Democrat unless I say so school of thought. You wouldn't want your buddies to think you're slacking off when it comes to hitting that "alert" button, would you?

[wyldwolf]

11. ^^ But all that is TOTALLY true, which is why it's OK to say! :)

[madfloridian]

12. I don't remember that I did any of those things, Nance.

And I agree they shouldn't be said.

[wyldwolf]

27. "And I agree they shouldn't be said." Where's your threads calling them out?

[msanthrope]

37. I await your thread decrying calling President Obama a POSUCS. nt

[G_j]

57. Why are you attacking this person?

The OP did not attack anyone. They posted definitions from a dictionary. Now, it looks like a bit of a pile on.

[msanthrope]

61. Given that this is the second OP the poster has created on this subject

in as many days I hardly think a one line post from me is a "pile on."

[G_j]

63. obviously, one peep is not a pile on.

you know what I mean. This is a stretch, criticizing people for what they don't post.

[madfloridian]

17. I'm standing up for Democrats, too.

[sheshe2]

19. +1000

[brer cat]

23. Right on, Nance! nt

[hrmjustin]

24. Well said and thank you.

[randys1]

26. Agree completely....NO, no actual liberal sits out the election because their candidate didnt win

[ismnotwasm]

36. Plus infinity

[sufrommich]

41. I rec this post. nt

[betsuni]

46. Absolutely!

[Thinkingabout]

50. Good posts.

[Bobbie Jo]

52. Amen, sister.

[blue neen]

59. Beautifully said.

[snooper2]

64. how about pumas?

[betsuni]

69. By the way, your post was alerted on, of course.

Only one vote to hide. Bitter dim bulb: "Alerted at the poster's request. I actually agree with the first line, despite the bitter, accusing tone. The rest? It's a downward spiral of bitterness and about DUers who don't agree with her, and the irony in the last line is priceless." Key word is "bitter" I guess, and the last line about irony when you are hitting the alert button ... oh never mind. Why try to make sense of bitter and nothingness.

[LWolf]

7. I agree. nt

[wyldwolf]

9. A post, that points to another one of your posts that calls out someone.

"Notice me."

[madfloridian]

10. lol

What would you do if you didn't have me around all these years?

[wyldwolf]

13. you know, there was post on a Conservative board that called out one of our classic battles

It was pretty hysterical.

[madfloridian]

14. I am one of their favorites. I think I even won DUmmie a few times.

[wyldwolf]

20. I think everyone active here for the past 10 years has been in contention for that dubious honor.

[demmiblue]

15. Grow up. n/t

[wyldwolf]

21. Aww. Then I wouldn't be able to play with little kids like you.

[BainsBane]

18. Another thread on this?

Seriously? All the issues in America: poverty, gun violence, racism, hate crimes, the GOP working to subvert marriage equality, and this is what bothers you for 24 hours straight and two threads?

[madfloridian]

25. I promise to post no more on it...if you promise also.

Fair enough?

[BainsBane]

32. No, I won't.

my capacity for absurdity is limited.

[BrotherIvan]

30. So why didn't you post about those things?

Are you seriously going to claim to be a victim this time?

[BainsBane]

31. I am not claiming to be a victim

I am simply astonished by the extent of the outrage.

As a matter of fact I post about those things with some frequency. I invite you to read my journal.

[BrotherIvan]

33. But instead took a moment to punch left

At least now people are no longer confused where you stand. Wall o text just got much less effective at obscuring the agenda.

[BainsBane]

40. I suggest you read the article again

and read about the author, who is in fact a leftist activist.

[BrotherIvan]

42. No thanks

[BainsBane]

43. Then, I suggest you not accuse me of "punching left"

When you don't know the author or what she is addressing. It is not punching left. it is at most a lateral punch.
If "left" is defined entirely by opposition to the Democratic party, rather than any principles of equality or collective action, that would make the GOP left. I have a lot of problem with how some define and claim leftism. I have no idea what it means to them, other than a reflection of themselves. For me, I can tell you quite clearly it is oriented toward Marxism, toward universal human equality: from each according to his ability to each according to his need. Not what my friends at the yoga studio or the coffee shop believe, or not whether one supports one member of the political elite or another. It's an ideology based on universal human equality, not elevating one man or a select group above the rest of the human race.

[BrotherIvan]

44. That dog won't hunt no mo

[polly7]

35. Astonished?

I think you expected and hoped for it.

[Oilwellian]

39. I am simply astonished by the extent of the outrage.

I doubt that very seriously.

[Capt. Obvious]

53. I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice your lack of self reflection on this statement.

[Bobbie Jo]

34. Good Lord.

[Oilwellian]

38. K&R n/t

[Autumn]

45. A Democrat wouldn't describe fellow Democrats that way.

We know who would though. That OP ed was the biggest POS I have ever seen. Rebecca is so sadly misinformed about those of us on the Left but but she has a great grasp of Presidential politics.

Presidential electoral politics is as riddled with corporate money and lobbyists as a long-dead dog with maggots, and deeply mired in the manure of the status quo – and everyone knows it.

This is why so many of us are happy and excited about Bernie.

[lindysalsagal]

47. Oh! I know this one!

Chris Christie

[MohRokTah]

48. Sort of like calling a sitting Democratic president a POS and a "used car salesman"? eom

[madfloridian]

55. Wait! Someone called the president a name....

Which was not me. I did not give that person a "lecture"...it is not my place to tell someone that personally.

But this is some name-calling involving a whole segment of our party. I did not single out a person here and I won't.

What should I have done? If I publicly called someone out my post would be locked. If I did it privately to someone I hardly know...it would be out of place.

So despite the very good points made by my posts of the definitions of what a well-known blogger called about half our party....the thread is sidejacked because someone else said something on the internet that has nothing to do with what I posted.

Do I think someone should be disrespectful to the president? No, I do not.

It was shameful for an activist blogger to call other activists dismal and rancid.

[MohRokTah]

56. I call hypocrisy on you.

It was an entire segment of DU agreeing with that bullshit and you never called them out.

I call hypocrisy.

[betsuni]

58. Yes. This is a good one: "It is not my place to tell someone that personally."

Heh.

[G_j]

60. so now we castigate people for NOT posting something!

. just how ridiculously convoluted can a discussion get?

[madfloridian]

62. It's my job to monitor an entire segment of DU?

If I did that I would not be here long.

That's just an absurd criticism to deflect.

[Skittles]

65. yup

[MohRokTah]

66. After posting this, yes. eom

[Orrex]

67. Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb.

[NCTraveler]

68. offensive or nasty
