What's wrong with being proud of what the dems are doing in the senate? :shrug: I don't get how you can equate that with worshipping.

15. It's his way of being fair and balanced.
From the horses mouth:

"when posting in those threads I have to overdramatize my response in order to appropriately counter balance the godly worship. The only way to combat the over the top 'viva chavez' he the bestest! premises it to counter with a 'Fuck that piece of shit scumbag'. It's all about balance. When it comes down to it, I don't like him one bit but I still do recognize the good he's done. But he ain't a god. When I see him being put forth here as a god I feel the need to have to counter balance to the equal and opposite form of drama. Equilibrium."

19. Well, there is a lot of Chavez worshipping that goes on here...
like the man can do no wrong....if this is the route you're going to go I can pull out enough support Chavez threads or other heroes of the left to show that at times it looks like worshipping with little to no criticism by many here. It would be a waste of time.

IMO, when the Dems deserve it, we give them their props. When they don't, we let them know we feel.

24. The OP said he was proud of the dems...
Period. He wasn't going on and on about how great they are and that no one should criticize them. He wasn't accusing anyone of being a freeper for not supporting them. The OP was expressing his pride and all you've got is some old quote that criticized some of the over-the-top support Chavez gets here sometimes.

You still have yet to explain why his post was one of worshipping the dems.

35. Yes, I know he's not "worshipping" the dems.
That's precisely my point. He's not worshipping anybody anymore than anybody worships Chavez, or Sheehan, or anybody else he has a problem with people being proud of.

39. You think so?
I disagree.

But you're still not getting it. I was being sarcastic when I called it worship. OMC, on the other hand, uses it as some sort of ad hominem attack on everybody he doesn't like, kind of like you just did with regard to Chavez supporters.

You called it rhetoric, dug up an old quote and said the OP worshipped the dems...oh, I know you said just a little bit ago it was now sarcasm. That's just what you've said in this thread. I don't have the time or inclination to search for your past comments in regards to the OP. Either way, I suggest you not take what others say on a message board so personally.

52. Oh, you don't know that people can't read your expression...
or hear the tone in your posts.

I guess it's never too late to learn, but always remember the dumb questions are the ones never asked. So here is a quick lesson:

If you want to leave a smiley face or something else to express you feeling you can click on the link above that says 'smilies lookup table'. It's right above where you type in the subject of your posts.

Hope that helps you in the future. :hi:

71. Sincere Question For You: Why Are You So Threatened By Me?
I'm just an internet poster, just like anyone else. This is just a message board dude.

But you appear to be so threatened by my words somehow, as if I carry so much more weight than I do. You obsess relentlessly about my posts and follow me around like a mosquito every day in anticipation of every post I make so that you can jump in with some childish flamebaiting stupidity, in attempts to constantly embarrass me or marginalize my views etc. I really don't care, though it is a tad annoying, but then most people here see your posts for the emptiness they contain.

But why the obsession with little ole OMC? Why the need to follow me around every day while obsessively lying in wait for your next opportunity to offer an intellectually empty childish retort? Am I really that important to you? Are you really that threatened by me and my viewpoints that you feel the need to engage in such ridiculous and irrational behavior? Do you really think I'm that important that you have to invest such time in trying to marginalize me? And before you answer with one of your ridiculously childish retorts about how I'm not important to you at all blah blah blah or how I'm meaningless to everybody blah blah, stop first and ask yourself then why all the effort to follow me around and pull this shit every day? It seems to me you are not only obsessed with me, but are threatened by me as well. Not sure why that is.

I'm just someone posting on a harmless message board on the internet. Get over me dude.

104. I'm not threatened by you, OMC.
If I were threatened by you, I'd be going around saying things like "FUCK OMC!" and I'd have a "FUCK OMC!" avatar. And I'd call you Operatiblahblahblah! And I'd accuse you of thread stocking. And I'd accuse you of being obsessed with me. And I'd dodge all your questions.

"why all the effort to follow me around and pull this shit every day?"

Effort? What effort? I simple wrote two simple sentences in my original reply? The same sort of thing you tell everybody else. I'm not threatened by you, OMC. I'm simply holding you up to your own standards. If you can dish it out, I think you should at least be able to take it.

42. This bears exactly ZERO resemblance to the blind-or-uncaring Sheehan supporters....
... As mentioned downthread, Democrat-supporters are happy to improve or replace Democrats with better Democrats. Not so Sheehan supporters, apparently *no matter WHAT she may say*.

I dunno about the asserted resemblance to Chavez - wasn't involved in that brouhaha.

It seems unnecessarily confrontational to me, unless someone has an agenda they don't want to mention but can't hide either.

73. Why Are You So Threatened By It?
It wasn't a connotation directly related to DU. It was actually a passionate feeling in general towards anyone out there period. It was a moment in which I felt tremendous pride in my dems and posted the thoughts in my mind, which was simply "I don't give a fuck what anyone else says; I'm DAMN PROUD of them".

But why the fuck are you so threatened or offended by that? Does it hurt you THAT much to see support for Democrats, on DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND? What's confrontational about it? All it's saying is anyone else can feel however they want, but I don't care. Right here, right now, I'm damn proud of them.

You can't handle that? For real? You consider that flamebait on DU of all places? Are you fucking serious?

Look at yourself in the mirror before you accuse someone of being unnecessarily confrontational. Cause if I see any unnecessary confrontation coming here it's coming from you, not me. :hi:

75. I'm not threatened at all
Such defensiveness is obviously masking something....whether it's an agenda or low self-esteem or an inferiority complex. I just know it when I see it. The continued use of profanity is also a method of venting pent-up hostility toward people who are supposedy allies. Also, it's interesting that your sig line is in direct opposition to your on-line persona. Just my two cents.

Peace, comrade. ;-)

77. You Obviously Are.
You obviously took such offense to such a harmless declaration. So since you were so defensive, what are you masking?

And I'd return whatever armchair psychology degree you've received, as it obviously isn't worth the rhetorical paper its written on. My use of profanity is merely because that's how I fucking talk. Don't like it? Too fucking bad.

And my sig line is perfectly fine, thank you.

So just like bornawhatever dude up there, why are you so obsessed with attacking me? You guys make me out to be so much more important than I am. It cracks me the fuck up! Seriously, you pop up and you bait and attack, as if I'm some big dragon that must be slayed or something. TOO GODDAMN SILLY! :rofl:

The OP was fine. Only problem with it is that it was from me, and you just couldn't take having to see a post from BIG BAD OMCCCCCCCCCC without attacking him. Want psychology? You're obsessed. Get over me. :hi:

119. I Gotta Say:
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 10:34 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
If someone ain't proud of the Dems today, then they shouldn't even be on this fucking board.

Don't like my confrontation? Don't like my bluntness? Don't like my tone? Don't like my profanity? Don't like my approach? I say tough shit. You'll get over it.

But if this is in fact Democratic Underground, which I do believe it is, then with EVERY SINGLE BIT of objectivity and intellectual insight I can possibly muster I cannot find ANY valid, sane, rational or reasonable excuse to NOT be proud of what our Dems are doing today.

That's right; I said it. I am of firm and WHOLEHEARTED belief that if a member of this board cannot be supportive or proud of our Democrats' actions today then they probably just simply SHOULD NOT even be here.

I'm aware I don't get to make the rules and I'm also aware I have no say in the matter. But that's my opinion. Confrontational? You bet. But I'm also sick to death of seeing the aggressively melodramatic slams against the Democrats by some frauds who so blatantly want to destroy the party and enhance their own third party agenda. This isn't a site to hate both Democrats and Republicans. It is a site to encourage progressive policies through a Democratic agenda and congressional and presidential Democratic victories. And it's hell about time that the Democrat haters; not criticizers, but fucking haters, to shut their damn mouths and go play their fraud and deception games somewhere else.

I watch my Dems today and I'm fucking proud. I see what my Dems are doing today and I felt inspired to stand up and say "Yes! I'm proud of my Dems!". They are standing up today. They are serving us proud. If even today, if even with this, someone can't stand up and say "Yes, they are making me proud today", then I fear they're either monumentally ignorant or just quite simply so filled with hate towards our party that they shouldn't even fucking be here. It's time to speak my mind and let go how I feel. That's how I feel. I know it isn't binding nor actionable, but I'm posting it anyway.

If someone here can't be proud of the Dems today, then they should just go the fuck somewhere else.

Hear fucking hear to that one pal.

4)"...shut their damn mouths and go play their fraud and deception games somewhere else." Can you belive there is more?

5) And this one is the saddest one of all: "if even with this, someone can't stand up and say "Yes, they are making me proud today", then I fear they're either monumentally ignorant or just quite simply so filled with hate towards our party that they shouldn't even fucking be here"

6)"...then they should just go the fuck somewhere else." Whew...almost like Cheney's "go fuck yourself".

7) and to end this tirade with class" "Hear fucking hear to that one pal"


Soooo many profanities & angry phrases...yikes, Dr. Therapy at 8 O'clock for someone!!!

123. Sometimes Intensity Is Warranted.
What I said needed to be said. I'd wager there are plenty on this board who would agree with it 100% too.

And how'd your 8 o'clock session go? Doc gave you the help you were in need of I hope?

OK, then.

12. And unlike the rationality-challenged binary-thinkers would have one believe...
... We Democrat-supporters are PERFECTLY capable of supporting Democrats as a general methodology WHILE AT THE SAME TIME working for the *improvement* and/or *replacement* of Democrats who are either unable or disinclined to support an agenda that helps our country.

Not all of them are saints, but on the whole, they're doing a great job. They're fighting a very large minority (not even really a minority in the Senate with Sen. Johnson off sick), a maniac with subpena power, and nooze media that are asleep at the wheel. (That's the charitable interpretation.)

Are they the "WalMart shopping" Dems?

Maybe the "anti-choice" Dems?

I know, maybe the "no mileage caps" Dems, so "someone" can drive said SUV to WalMart?

...are those the Dems you are proud of???

BTW, if you don't "Honestly Don't Give A Fuck What Anyone Else Says On The Matter" (notice the caps) what anyone else thinks...why do you post so much attenion getting nonsense?

105. What all caps? It sounds like you don't think any of the Dems are worth spit
So I was giving you a chance to show that you weren't completely anti-Dem.

How about Dennis? Do you like Dennis?

How about my Senator, Feingold?

So do you like any Dems at all, or do they all fit your description, Walmart Dems et al?

Not sure where the "all caps" comment came from. It's not something I do generally, so I'm not sure why that was directed at me.

You state : "I'm not sure why that was directed at me"...it was not. It was directed at the OP. Because ,first of all, it is "in caps". It is not "all caps"...please learn to read for context.

This person used caps to begin most every word in the OP, thus the term "in caps". (it takes actual effort to hit the shift key)

As far as trying to rub my "progressive cred" in the dirt...please don't try, it's schoolyard.

Progressive leaning Green, or Progressive leaning Dem?

Simple question really. Are there any Dems that don't fit your previous description. Good Dems in your estimation.

Why is it a hard question to answer.

116. With All Due Respect, You Are Guilty Of The Same Flaw As Those You Seem To Reference.
I think there's a problem with those that remain on the 'rah rah' all the time and the 'boo hiss' all the time, and agree with you that there should be much flexible space inbetween. But you stated that you are 'remaining' in the space between, which to me is guilty of the same objective flaws. If someone is stuck on rah rah, stuck on boo hiss, or stuck in the space inbetween, they're all still stuck.

The key is being flexible based on changing circumstances. One should have no problem doing the boo hiss when necessary, finding comfort in the middle when appropriate, or standing up and cheering rah rah when called for. It is quite simply just being objective to circumstances as they change. Flexibility.

So when the dems caved on the funding bill, I boo hissed. But with what they have shown me today, I feel nothing but a full rah rah. Nothing wrong with sliding from side to side on the scale as appropriate.
