Raise your hand if you think that's an unfair headline. Funmny - I don't see any raised hands.

1. Hey Sagle--since I know you from other forums I say:

This thread is worth something and not about shit!

I also want to know where DH100 is...this is an important time, and it would be great to hear from him as well.

Bitchkitty's here, thank God.

Sagle, our political world is about to change if we keep volunteering. And then every thread will be worth something better than shit!

I guess I should visit TAPA again. I remember the old times on other boards.

What is this about one certain TT and Tapa poster instigating the draft Clark candidacy and then getting thrown out? Dammit, I liked that guy! And he got thrown out! Stirling. They threw his ass out?

3. Funny you should ask about DH100 - he's on TAPA.

He's now D H. TAPA has moved to http://peoplesforum.com/cgi-bin/forum?13@@.3eb539d5

Stirling moved to the Atlantic forums. But he rarely posts. Yes, I think he's a very good and smart guy. But I'm surprised he went Clark - Clark would seem to violate everything he ever stood for.

Now I've got a question: Who are you?

6. DH went for Clark?

Jesus Christ, I don't know what to think about that.

9. No, stirling did.

2. I don't like Dean but yes, it sounds unfair. Is it one of those "cute"

headlines? Like they're slopping real hogs on a farm for a media event? Or wholly without reason?

4. Sorry I didn't make myself clear - it was MY headline.

It was meant to reflect on the media, not on Dean.

A common complaint among Dean supporters, including me, is that the media have been bashing him. He's been advised to suck up to them. Feeding them is one way to do it.

7. It's not just a complaint

8. I totally agree. The media is out to wreck him.

The next step is Court TV's Nancy Grace hissing, "Die, Democrat, die!".

5. jeez, you guys lighten up

I'm a Dean supporter and I find nothing wrong with the headline.

"Slopping a hog" is a term for feeding hogs.

The hogs in question are the media.

Dean and Harkin are shown bringing the "hogs" food.

Therefore, you get the cute headline.
