It's official, DU has jumped the shark.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

Good lord. With all the real issues we have to worry about, you're all talking about a fucking HANDSHAKE?

I'll amend my previous post to include both shitslinging AND bullshit controversies.

1. I must admit

I missed the whole "controversy" because I refuse to watch the POTUS giving his SOTUS to the HOROTUS, the SCOTUS and the Senate.

But the handshake threads here have me in stitches.

[KitchenWitch]

22. ....

Now THAT made me laugh!

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

2. You notice all the O supporters complaining about the handshake threads?

Don't like your guy in a bad light eh?

[Kittycat]

4. What are you talking about? Again, non-issue.

let it go.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

5. Yeah, I don't think I'm voting for him anymore.

:eyes:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

7. It's been instructive.

[Der Blaue Engel]

3. Nah, this is just a rerun of the shark-jumping episode

The original air date was several weeks ago.

[Moochy]

14. It's a Clips Show that includes footage of the Shark Jumping Episode

You know the lowest of the regurgitated re-run... The forced "Let's Reminisce" episode that all 70's and 80's shows had to have near the end of their run? The show with maybe 3 minutes of new footage interspersed in between the clips of the shark jumping.

[RummyTheDummy]

6. It jumped the shark years ago

I learned that somewhere around Nov. 2004. Now it's merely for entertainment purposes only. A freak show.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

18. A freak show? Exsqueeze me! I resemble that remark!

:rofl: MKJ

[Pathwalker]

8. I finally figured it out. Everyone's drunk, from doing "9/11,

terrerish" shots every time Bush used those words in the SOTU speech. I'm tired, sick, and feel like the only sober person at a kegger. You too?

[meow mix]

9. yeah, ROF

make it stop!

11. DU

wise and otherwise

if you don't get it, don't

[lapfog_1]

12. "Eeeeyeeeeh!"

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

13. Not DU, just assorted DUers.

[scheming daemons]

15. The term "jumping the shark" has jumped the shark.....

nt

[incapsulated]

17. I agree... DU has "flashed without panties" then

FYI, it did ages ago.

I'm just here for the laffs.

If I took this seriously, I would hope someone put me away.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

19. Well, that's cool. Is it the deaths in Iraq or NOLA which gives you laffs?

Oh nevermind, it's our anger and frustration at the loss of civil liberties and jobs that's got to give you the giggles, LOL, right.

[incapsulated]

20. If this forum was about any of those things

Or if the stupid ass posts on it made a damns worth of difference about them, maybe I would care.

It isn't, they don't and therefore neither do I.

Unless you think real policies are hammered out here on GDP on the war and civil liberties, and are then enacted in Congress?

May I have some of what you are smoking?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

21. I think that you don't call your congressional rep, write LTTE's, ensure that your local governance

respects its citizens constitutional rights or participate in any community volunteer program.

I do believe you come here and laff at those of us who do.


MKJ

I also doubt you're a military veteran, as many of us are.

[incapsulated]

24. lol, get over yourself AND LOOK AT THIS STUPID FORUM

It is nothing but a shitfest of mudslinging, slander and name calling.

Jesus Christ, if my political cred was based on participation in this farce, I don't know what I would think of myself.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

27. You don't do shit, then, basically. You come here and laff and that's about it.

DeTocqueville? Walden? No? Nothing?

MKJ

Sorry, fed one, oops.

[WillyT]

16. Yes...Yes It Has !!!

:rofl:

[Mojambo]

23. I'm usually pretty forgiving of the nuttiness of this place.

But the handshake thing is utterly bizarre.

We here at DU like to go around puffing our chests about how we're too sophisticated and mature to fall into the MSM generated shit traps, but it's just not true.

We LOVE the shit they shovel and it's ALL YOU CAN FUCKING EAT during the primaries.

[underpants]

25. NOTE this was chickenshit

I like you as much as I know you but this is chickenshit you changed the whole post.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

34. Are you addressing me?

If so, WTF are you talking about?

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. Now that it's Obama being picked on, this matters? Why the double standard? Why is it OK to have

900,000,789,654 threads a day that bash Hillary, but when threads are started to point out rudeness by Barack, it's a problem?

[KittyWampus]

28. because in your heart you know Obama wasn't being rude and this is stupid, manufactured

bullshit.

And you better take a good look at this form, cause it's mainly a trash Obama zone.

And it's coordinated. I finally found proof as one of the lead Hillary supporting assholes posted for other Hillary supporters to check their emails.

You want to attack Obama on something, let it be something that actually happened.

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. I don't attack Obama, I defend Hillary...which seems to be a sin around here these days.

The handshake snub is not manufactured. Obama supporters just want it to go away. I have a feeling we'll get to see a video of it on YouTube soon. Then we'll see how manufactured it is.

[johnnydrama]

30. i gave up on this place

as a medium for adults when i saw someone post that said how people behaved here would be how they decided on who to vote for.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. Yikes. That is infantile. Today is the first day I've spent much time at all in here

and I have to give kudos to those who can stomach all the crap flying around. Hell, this place looks worse than FR and many of their talking points have ended up on this board, in this forum. It's sickening. The Clinton Hatred here is beyond the pale and I'm an Edwards supporter. I can only imagine how Hillary supporters must feel about all this.:(

[busymom]

31. I agree with this....

There is so much pointing and wagging of the finger at Hillary for anything the MSM dishes out...but when the tables are turned, look who suddenly doesn't like the MSM.

[tandem5]

32. nah the DU is the shark!

whhaaaaa?
