2. DU is far from being a hate site.
Edited on Wed Apr-21-04 07:09 AM by Cannikin
"The report includes sites that deny the Holocaust, theorize September 11 conspiracies and glorify al Qaeda. The more common hate sites feature racism, anti-Semitism and gay bashing. (Source)

Something you will NOT find at DU....but you might at a few R.W. sites that I wont name (remember the Margaret Cho incident?). And they can be attributed to Bush politics...I'd rather be associated with conspiracy theorist over bigoted racists any day.

And in the main line: "Online games that allow children to "shoot" illegal immigrants, Jews and blacks"......urging young people to join "holy wars" and become suicide bombers.

I really see no implication of DU in this article. Sure we've shared a few conspiracies, but us? A hate site??

Kind of makes DU seem mild in comparison, as far as extremism goes. IMHO
