Can we just put a stop to this 'cult' garbage?

[Danger Mouse]

I'm sick of people polluting the boards with it. I don't appreciate being told I'm a cult member. Seriously.
Isn't there some sort of DU rule about this? Doesn't it count as a personal attack?
Furthermore, it's a broad brush smear against MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, Democrats and many DUer's, and a hideously insulting one at that.
Why is it allowed to be done again and again and again?

1. Kick...

[Bucky]

2. does that answer your question?

[Danger Mouse]

5. What, the dead silence and the crickets chirping?

:P

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

3. Yet you invoke Hubbard in your name? Irony!

[Danger Mouse]

6. I'm not a scientologist and do not condone scientology.

in fact, quite the opposite.

4. Yes We Can.

[Danger Mouse]

14. YES WE CAN.

The more they attack us, the stronger we will stand.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. I agree, we should put a stop to it.

And let's nip all that "coven" talk in the bud before it starts.

[Danger Mouse]

15. There are Obama supporters starting to throw 'coven' into the mix?

:puke:
Please, let's not stoop to THEIR level.

[Thrill]

8. Its all the Clinton Supporters have left

[Danger Mouse]

10. I've seen some low shit from both sides, but outside of open racism/sexism...

the 'cult' garbage is about the worst.

11. It tastes pretty damn good.

:hi:

[ieoeja]

12. Personally, I hope this becomes the GOP's major theme for attacking Obama.

Don't vote for Obama. He's so popular it's scary.


They are criticizing Obama because he is too popular? Come on! This is a hoot. And the Freepers are just stupid enough to embrace this meme.

[Danger Mouse]

13. I chalk it up to jealousy. Or a complete lack of class.

[K Gardner]

16. Let's see. I'll answer your questions in order:

Yes.
Yes..
Agreed.
I have no idea, but have written to ask about just that. No word back.

[Danger Mouse]

17. I'm considering writing myself.

[nonconformist]

18. So you make yet another "cult" thread?

If you really want it to stop, you should stop making new threads about it. Most of the talk about cults on here for the past couple of days have been from Obama supporters.

Just ignore it. Maybe it's not as prevalent as you think, but when there's dozens of "stop calling us a cult!" threads, it keeps it in discussion.

[Danger Mouse]

21. Hmm...you might be right about that.

I haven't been on DU all day, so I'm going by what was happening last night where the board was clogged with it.

[importDavid]

19. Let's just lock each and every thread that starts this stuff...

Hopefully that will get the message out that it won't be tolerated.

Same goes for all the Hillary bashing.

Let's stick together for a change and stop being Repugnicans!

[joshcryer]

20. It's trying to go away, but people keep posting it and ... kicking their threads about it.

The irony is delicious.

[HughMoran]

22. I think we're all tired of people posting "cult" themes and telling us what to do!

Ya know what I mean?




;)

[Iceburg]

23. You need to reign in the divisive rhetoric ... we are smarter, more affluent,

better educated, we have more money, we more progressive remarks here on DU by the Obama supporters. It's very adolescent, offensive, clickish ... and to some cult-like. Further, Obama's speeches need to move away from cheer-leading theocractic stupors and toward more substance.

From the Village Voice.

"Once in a while, Obama makes a passing reference to our diminishing individual liberties, but hardly ever in his stump speeches. At an early-morning rally the day of the New Hampshire vote, he told some 300 students at the Dartmouth College gym: "My job this morning is to be so persuasive . . . that a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack."

[Danger Mouse]

25. 'you'? i don't do any of that shit.

[bigwillq]

24. Agree.

All this cult shit and other name calling is disgusting, on both sides.

[Danger Mouse]

28. Yeah. If the primary drags on, it'll only get worse.

I hope that it doesn't, but I feel that it will.

[Fox Mulder]

26. I agree.

This cult shit is absurd.

[Danger Mouse]

27. Yeah.

It certainly is.
The only one allowed to run a cult is me.

[Danger Mouse]

29. kick, i suppose.
