16. Sorry
I'm not so confused now after reading some of the threads and Olbermanns blog...

Sorry I posted this.. I didn't mean to spam the boards or rehash anything. Just looking for clarification.

3. It's war.
Olbermann was a little critical of Bev in his last update. Some people started ratting on Olbermann, others on Bev. They've been fighting ever since...

Can't people see we need to stop? This is a Rove tactic, and people are letting Bush and Co win by fighting.

4. The Crib Notes
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 02:11 AM by AmyCrat
Some people think Bev made a mistake in storming into Lapore's retirement reception to give her a copy of legal papers (with video camera's rolling).

Olbermann commented to this effect tonight on Countdown ("tin-foil hat" was used).

Olbermann updated his blog to include statements that he's been trying to book Bev on the show for a while, but hasn't been able to (and not because of him). Insinuating she's being elusive.

Some people here don't like Bev.

Some people here think she's made some mistakes (but still stand behind her cause).

Something people think she's an idol to bow down in front of.

Some like Olbermann.

Some think HE'S the fraud.

Flame, flames. You're a freeper. No I'm not. Get over it already. Oh yeah, more flames.

Any questions?

:P

9. It's a "cluster" alright, but use the "f" word instead of the "t" word.
This umbrella is big enough for Bev and followers and Keith and followers. I personally love them both and all of this crap needs to stop. Rove must be absolutely orgasmic by now.

18. You left out that Olberman had her ready and then bumped her
then blames her for not wanting to gamble her time on waiting around for the show again.

Add that to the claim that the lawsuit is one day late and then it looks like Olberman's bump cost that lateness...

42. "Tin foil hat" comment....
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 11:22 AM by rainbow4321
Up until 9/10/2001 what happened on 9/11 probably would have been flamed as being a "tin foil hat" kind of thought/"thread".

:tinfoilhat:


Now everyone take a few deep breaths, quit the bickering, stay mad at the repukes instead of at OTHER DUers or Olberman or Bev or anyone else trying to turn Nov 2nd into a day where we actually elected a prez instead of re-appointing one....

11. Pick one of the 87 threads and start reading.
I'm going to bed. I love Keith, I love Bev, I love DU and I love the Bill of Rights. I love chocolate chip cookies, and MST3K. And Devo.

Can't we all just try to get along and stop burning people in effigy?

:)

Peace and sweet dreams.

Let's all get Spud Rings and go for it. Let's pogo. Get out those red plastic planters and put 'em on your heads.

Man, they rule.

17. Maddy McCall is launching a personal vendetta against Bev Harris.
The rest of us are happy to wait for the grand opening of Bev's docu-drama. I hope tonight gets a footnote.

29. Is it (or rather was it ) your birthday?
If yes, Happy (Belated) Birthday! :hi:

Didn't you hear Olberman mentioned Bev in his blog and Bev dropped in on a retirement party and folks have just gone crazy debating whether KO is a traitor or is it Bev is "hurting the cause". :crazy:

I think "the cause" has been overshadowed, but I believe it will pass. Emotions are high, tempers flaring, flame wars abound.


If it was your birthday, did you blow out your candles? If not, would you try to blow out the flames here, maybe you can make a wish that Ohio goes to Kerry and then we can move on!

:silly:

31. Yes and thank you
The 1st was my 25th birthday.
I've pretty much got it all figured out and am reserving judgement because you can't get information from a message board only and then form an opinion because you don't know all the facts :)

I did blow out the candles but I see more blowing is in order, crazy flame wars!

Thanks again.

35. A quarter of a century old! Congrats!
Please try blowing out the flame wars and make a wish for Ohio to go to Kerry! It couldn't hurt and would be much more beneficial to the "cause" than all of the craziness that has gone on tonite!

:party: Again, Happy Belated Birthday! :party:

36. Well, Happy Birthday to us, anyway
The 1st was my birthday, too - though I've got 26 years on ya. I'm not getting into the Bev-bashing either, but at least birthdays is a pretty non-controversial subject. hehe
