Is there no place to hide (from the Kerry kerfuffle)?
I turned off MSNBC because this was the only topic and, I figured, this would be the same on CNN. Now I am coming to DU and.... just looking at the page every other topic is Kerry. And this is just the first page.

And I can just see the glee on the face of Limpbag and the others as they see Democrats tearing at each other..

Yes, I know. We are Democrats. We do not have a speech police telling us what we may and may not say or, horror, think.

But can we at least tone this down for six days? Why provide fodder for Ken Mellman?

Oh well..

P.S I probably misspelled kerfuffle but I think that I am using it correctly :evilgrin:

1. Murtha.

Help him be heard; he keeps the focus where it should be and speaks with authority.

2. Well, there are other discussions going on, in other threads.
They keep getting buried under Kerry this, Kerry that, threads.
I'm also bored of it. I try to use my sharp eyes and pick out threads that don't mention Kerry. You may even have to go to page 2 or 3.

3. I switched channels to a rerun of "Top Chef."
That's how bad it is today.

Someone posted a great phrase in one of those Kerry threads:
"fake outrage."

The really sad part is that everyone seems to be blaming each other for not
being able to make the media and the Republicans act like decent human beings.

I'm with you, though. I'm not watching the media crap on this non-issue.

5. Once the Ken Melmann commercial airs
this afternoon, I daresay that that carpmouth will be having much more to deal with than anything posted here.

7. When people bash kerry on DU, I'm not going to sit back
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 01:11 PM by jumpoffdaplanet
If they would STFU, the rest of us could only it lie.

But not when RW news print the lies of some DUers who fell for this shit.

Not when idiots candidates like Tester, Ford and Cardin fall for this crap.
