21. OK, why don't you take it up with the ADMINS instead of all this righteous rage? |

It's really hollow "posturing" IMNSHO when we don't help MAKE THE SYSTEM WORK.
But that's just MY pushy little broad's opinion.
Feel FREE to carry-on with your outrage-fest but no "white hat" for you today. :shrug:

27. actually, it's good for them to see us chastising our own |
|
I'm not sure if that is done much over there, but I'm happy to see so many arrive at the same conclusion regarding some people's stereotyping and ethnic slurs on Mr. Jindal.

Talk about hollow posturing. What exactly is your point? Would you like a white hood to wear today?...... But seriously I'm actually I'm surprised I usually agree with a lot of your posts

However, as an ex-mod, I would still request that people hit the alert button on those posts they find inappropriate. In this way, the scope of the problem may be known and appopriate action taken. Often the volume of alerts will raise the red flag and bring the issue to top priority.
Sometimes the mods do not get out much, and so they have to rely on alerters to let them know what is going on.

18. This is DU. Brown-skinned Republicans are fair game. |

After all, Republicans said racist things about Obama, so we should try to match them slur for slur and dogwhistle for dogwhistle.

Republicans said ugly, racist things about Obama, so it's okay for us to be racist and ugly too? Does not compute.

minded enough to see the error of their ways unlike many other places.

25. I agree about minority. open minded? not all of them. |

I don't want to pile on. I just can't stand to see us become them so quickly. You know, it hurts the DEMOCRATIC BRAND and of course the main point is it is a hurtful type of behavior.
Maybe we have Indian American posters who don't like Bobby Jindal being treated to the name calling based on his origins.

If you don't like a post or think it violates the rules, I do believe there is an "alert" button that one can use.

Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 06:47 PM by TexasObserver
This thread is merely you calling out the Mods and Admins for taking an approach different from the one you would take.
The matter is being dealt with in a manner that prefers the discussion over the smack down.

How do those 2 exactly relate to his name? You wanna call him Jin and tonic or some silly shit like that I don't see a problem. That is making fun of his name (although it is an extremely lame example). Now that other stuff is freeper humor.
