1. DU gets blasted on ALL rightwing bulletin boards
Hannity is a mindless drone, and I won't spend a second reading the caca posted in his forums. However, every right-leaning (or worse) discussion board thinks that DU is filled with overzealous, radical leftist lunatics. That reputation is not totally undeserved. Fortunately, most of the postings here are pretty reasonable.

I've been browsing and posting at DU for only a week, and I've been impressed at the efforts of the mods and management to clean out the loonies.

4. Actually, I haven't seen many leftist lunatics here.
I've mostly seen rightwing freeper lunatics. Most leftists are people who think rationally, unlike most rightwingers who have been mindcontrolled.

5. The Problem Here is Not the Leftists
it's the disruptors. The Majority of Democrats and those on the left present rational, logical arguments while those on the right argue from emotion or parrot right-wing talking points.

7. I believe..
...they sign up here, start their own nutty threads, and then write about them. Easier to make **it up than to look for real news.

8. imagine the life of the mind that came up with this:
HILLARY IS A COMMUNIST

Bottom line....

Vince Foster...Travelgate...I don't remember...Newt Gingrich smears...Hate Bush.....

Hillary is a communist and the first thing to go if she becomes president will the the United States Consitution.

For the love of God and Country, do NOT let this woman become our president!

11. Kind of a side note on Hannity
Has that idiot ever listened to the lyrics of his supposed theme song Independence Day? It's not a patriotic song. It's about a girl with an abusive father who ends up burning her family's house down.

12. Do you know what the other one is called?
It comes on right after that one usually... I think it's in a foreign language? Kind of sounds like some Russian opera or something...

14. It's Latin from
Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. I can't find my copy of it right now, but I believe that snippet is from O Fortuna:
http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/works/orff-cb/carmlyr.html


http://www.balletbc.com/perf-CarminaBurana.htm:
Carmina Burana is an erotic ballet-cantata that draws its motivation for the action as much from the Latin libretto as it does from the score by Carl Orff. The poems are taken from the writings of medieval poets, defrocked monks and minstrels, better known for their rioting, gambling and drinking than for their scholarship.

By combining lyrics of love, the high spirits of drinking songs, the spice of the confessional, with the ribald humour of odes to gambling and gluttony, the poetry is defiantly profane and often makes reference to pagan rituals and the rites of spring despite the widespread Christianity of the time.

Highly sensual in essence and large in scale with a 100-voice choir on stage, three soloists and an orchestra of 62, Carmina Burana reserves most of the romanticized sexuality for pas de deux, combined with movement statements of sweeping grandeur using a large ensemble.

16. wear their reprobation as a badge of honor because they're losers
as to inane posts and posters at DU, with over 33,000 members, and from these many 5th columnists from the right, one should expect a few incendiary comments.
