Reply #27: You mean Cindy's KOS diary for May 28th? [View All]

She wrote all that and I believe from her interview on DN! that the title, "Good Riddance Attention Whore", was her idea as well.

But the insults aren't really the main thrust of what she wrote. At least not as I read it and heard it from Cindy on DN! yesterday. It was the "STFU" sentiment behind those insults. For some, criticism of the Dems for any reason is verboten. We've seen that here, especially since the war funding passage last week. And DU is the main meeting place for Dems on the internet, so Cindy singling it out as representative of the problem is understandable.

This paragraph of hers says it best, I think:

However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the "left" started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used. I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of "right or left", but "right and wrong."
