Why is Andrew Sullivan picking on Democratic Underground?

What a f*ck*n a$$hole. Andrew Sullivan put on his blog a link from one of our idiot posters that says something stupid once in a while.

The Wall Street Journal used us as a reference for their right winger editorial page one when someone at Democratic Underground claimed that "The people at Democratic Underground are some of the smartest people in this nation!!!!"

You guys, we have to watch out what we write about. Moderators, if someone puts up a stupid shit post, just lock it. We do not need this kind of scrutiny from anyone from the outside.

Now, what did Andrew Sullivan link from our site? Apparently, he linked this post ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=648187 ) to his blog here ( http://www.andrewsullivan.com/ )

What did this post say? Apparently, the person wrote "I Hope the Bloodshed in Iraq Continues"

This is not only dumb but immoral and shallow. I appreciate the fact that many people scolded the poster afterwards, but it is now too late. The last thing we need is for some freeper to send our site to the New York Times or to the Wall Street Journal again.

What is even more discouraging is the fact that this person is a veteran here. She has 7178 posts.

I only have 1700 posts and I know better than that.

NOw, what is the effect of this on our website? Well...people start to stereotype us as people who looking forward to blood and flesh.

This is disgusting and all posters should be accountable for their actions.

Let's be smarter next time OK.
