It gets weirder by the minute -- there's a thread defending Faux Snooze |
|
and accusing Obama of trying to shut them up! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x417472:eyes: I'm glad I was told about this forum.... it's crazy out there.

1. So much for "Democratic" Underground, eh? It's now a place for every RW nutjob |
|
to post. And post they certainly do. With impunity.

2. It's sad. DU used to be my refuge from the whackjobbery of the lunatic right. |
|
And now the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

5. Yes they have, all the while declaring they're more "progressive" than we are. |
|
Yet the result they'll get is the same one that the RWers want.

7. Which is another thing that totally fries my ass. |
|
I've supported liberal and progressive issues and causes for many years, probably since before most of the loudest whiners were even born. And yet now I feel I have to "hide" in a safe forum to avoid being dogpiled by people who might find me insufficiently ideologically pure.

10. Apparently a liberal can't be pragmatic. Who knew? |
|
I do know when I'm not welcome, though, so I stay away, too. It's been made perfectly clear with all the name calling: cheerleader, water carrier, apologist, denier, DLCer, etc.

4. That poster is noted for busting on Obama. |
|
So I'm assuming it's serious.

11. I just alerted on it. |
|
Bashing Obama by defending Faux Noise is utterly crazy.

12. Now defending Fux news |

It's so sad what has become of the Democratic Underground. :(

13. Once joining forces with Norquist becomes just dandy, defending Fux News |
|
is the logical next step.

14. I am wondering whether that particular poster |
|
is an agent provocateur, an ideological purist, a PUMA, or just an asshole?

17. After seeing people defend the Taliban, nothing is surprising.. |
|
that was happening around Obama's Afghanistan speech. They were describing as reasonable the Taliban's insistence that we allow one of their mullah's to evaluate evidence against OBL. It was cringe-worthy.
