DU is filled with sheep (and infiltrators, and others)

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

A very small percentage waiting for a direction to be led.

An even smaller percentage waiting to see if the lies were true.




We want to believe in our leaders. Some of us want to wait longer than others.

And not a one of the followers know it.





There are so many here that want to bow to authority.

1. Aren't you supposed to be out wearing your cape and beating up cops?

[iconoclastic cat]

4. Fucken A I hate these posts.

If you have a position, take responsibility for it and defend it; don't resort to McCarthyism.

6. There is a time for all things.

As you know, the line between a hero and a beserker is thin.

Berserker, how high were the astronomical odds that you were be here and the poster above you would say that? I've never had somebody accidentally refer to my screenname before! And berserker is not a common word! You're under a unique lucky funny star tonight, my man! :pals:

[Raine]

11. What is the point of

this? Are you trying to make a statement or an accusation? :shrug:

[Wonk]

14. The point is the same as that of 90% of TYJ's many many threads

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. Suck in and get another good breath, wonk, you are just another breeder.

[Wonk]

19. You know not of what you speak, but what else is new?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

35. Nothing's new, Wonk, some people decide to think for themselves...

it's an old idea.

[hsher]

15. Having been trollwhupped today, I sadly agree

It's not all of us, and it's not the true ones among us. But there's agitators on the board, and they know who they are. So far, none are on this thread. So cut Tom a break. He, I and a few other DU-ers were given a rough go by some bad folk.

[Raine]

21. OK. sorry...

I didn't happen to see those threads, I know there are lots of trolls here.

[hsher]

24. Thanks (hug enclosed)

:hug:
What a day it's been. :(

[Raine]

27. Back at you...

:pals:

[Mr_Spock]

33. "and it's not the true ones among us"

Was someone mentioning McCarthyism above?

[Nikki Stone1]

12. I'm waiting for the Kool Aid from my Internet Master

It will go well with falafel.

:evilgrin:

[nam78_two]

17. Huh?/nt

[Bluzmann57]

22. Well it may comfort you to know...

that I don't give a damn about anything or anybody at this point of my day. So if that's following, then so be it. As the head ape said in the crappy remake of "Planet of the Apes", "Bow and kneel before me!". And as I said right now, "Do it now!". Or not.

Uh-oh.

[951-Riverside]

31. ....you forgot Rush Limbaugh, Michell Malken and the StormFronters n/t

;)

[DancingBear]

32. Only upon leaving the forest do they then see the trees

You got it my friend.

The parallels between the "sides" are astounding, and the protestations sound the same.

Some just put letters in front to distinguish the "good" side, which allows them to keep believing no matter how many times real-life whomps them on the head and says "fooled you, we like things just the way they are. But we'll paint the red room blue and bring in fresh flowers to make it all look different. And nice.

See you in November!."

Congratulations, and aren't the trees beautiful?

From a safe distance.

34. what I don't understand is how posts like these which tear good folks down

get any attention at all, much less understanding why thoughtful posts attacking Bush and the republicans are brushed aside. I guess some folks just like rubbing their noses in it.

38. I think I realized what I hate so much about these posts.

It's like the next level of people becoming passive activists.

- First people graze on the Internet and bitch about everything they don't like because they're not willing to do anything about it.
- Next people whine on the Internet about how the leaders aren't doing anything for them and they should just be allowed to complain and have it happen or else they'll find new leaders to do everything for them (like from third parties).
- And then, people start complaining that other people who are whining and grazing on the Internet don't agree with them.

Come on, people. If you don't know where to go, try the links I put in my signature. You'll feel empowered enough that you won't mind running into someone who doesn't think what you think every now and then.

P.S. I think it's hilarious that some people think I'm a troll at the same time I'm encouraging people here to be more effective at getting what they want. Yeah, a troll that wants to build local Democratic Party organizations and encourage more real-life activism; nice try. Yeah, maybe I should be kicked off of Democratic Underground for being more loyal to the Democratic Party than the netroots!

Many reasons for a lock
