If your hatred of Obama is so overwhelming that you can't even concede *one* success to him, then you are a classic dudebro...

I'm certain some DUers will recognize themselves in that tweet...

[djean111]

1. I do believe he would have tweeted that no matter who was president.

I do believe he is taking a shot at the United States, not at Obama.

[Aerows]

6. Complaining about other DUers

never gets old for some, even on such a great day as this that so many have long been waiting for.

[geek tragedy]

19. He's disparaging civil rights.

Which makes him/confirms that he is an awful human being.

[djean111]

26. Fine. But that has nothing to do with Obama.

[geek tragedy]

30. It was a reaction to the WH changing its logo to

be rainbow colored.

[treestar]

2. The US created jihadists

like they have no responsibility whatsoever for their actions.

[pnwmom]

18. You mean the non-elected Bush administration?

[antiquie]

3. I love Xeni Jardin.

@wikileaks Julian, I still fiercely support your rights and the importance of Wikileaks, despite you being a total dick to me since forever.

The General Lee loses its Confederate Flag, and the truth about Bo and Luke comes out.

[riderinthestorm]

15. Uhm no. Cooter will fight for the Confederate flag forever!11!!

So yeah, no pride flag there.

31. He's just another "jackwagon".

[demmiblue]

4. Shitty tweet, shitty OP.

"I'm certain some DUers will recognize themselves in that tweet..."

So many DUers celebrated this day, and you shit on it by posting an OP like this.

But you couldn't wait to score some irrational DU points, could you?

I am going to alert on this as meta... I hope the hosts recognize it for what it is: Threads complaining about Democratic Underground or its members...

[Aerows]

7. Yep

That's the way I read it, too.

[Aerows]

5. Mindlessly bashing DUers

just to mindlessly bash.

It's a great day, in my opinion. This is a day that I have long awaited coming.

[demmiblue]

8. Yep, and sad to see the reccers agree (especially one in particular). n/t

[Aerows]

9. That disappointed the hell

out of me, too. Maybe it was an accident. I hope it was.

[demmiblue]

10. No, I don't think it was. n/t

[riderinthestorm]

11. The whistleblower hatred on DU is fierce

and crosses weird lines imo

I actually love these kinds of threads that flush out disgusting authoritarian dead heads.

[Spazito]

12. Oh yeah, I've seen variations of this already posted on DU...

and yes, he is a fuckin' asshole.

[demmiblue]

13. Oh, bullshit.

I have been surfing DU all day (getting over a cold), and I have seen nothing of the like.

DU was exploding with joy all day long regarding this issue..

[Spazito]

16. Check out the celebratory threads and you will find posts...

that are versions of the tweet.

[demmiblue]

17. I guess you failed to read my response to you.

I have not seen one, and if I did, I would have alerted on it.

[PowerToThePeople]

14. Nice OP... not

Justice has occurred today, yet many more injustices remain unanswered. Never rest. Didn't Obama say something to that effect in his eulogy? I think so.

[Fumesucker]

20. And if you are so obsessed with Julian Assange that you can't ignore him for one day of celebration

Works both ways, dude.

[randome]

21. Regardless of one's view of Assange, there are some good tweets there.

@ConnorSouthard @trill_pikachu @dongohuber @wikileaks I thought he was cool for a while, but realized I had him confused with Tilda Swinton.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]TECT in the name of the Representative approves of this post.[/center][/font][hr]

[Aerows]

22. No dog

in that whistle.

Awful post.

[demmiblue]

23. I don't get it...

Does it mean that Assange looks like a woman, or does it mean that Swinton looks like a man?

Because, either way, it is icky and worthy of derision!

My dog, do these people even take a second to self-reflect?

[Aerows]

25. Apparently not.

I thought it was ugly, too.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

27. With the bigotry you're displaying, I guess you're a little miffed about the USSC decision.

Too fucking bad. Go tell you bigoted jokes somewhere other than here.

[SidDithers]

24. DU rec...nt

Sid

[Arkana]

28. You're enjoying your day, everything's going your way,

then along comes Debbie Downer...

[ismnotwasm]

29. Why yes he is.

33. "Dudebro" ?

Great, SRS is leaking.

[hunter]

34. There is a place for fuckin' assholes on this path of progress.

Winston Churchill was a fuckin' asshole of the sort Julian can only aspire to. Churchill took "fuckin' asshole" to a whole new dimension.

My favorite fuckin' asshole this day is Benjamin Franklin. Sanctimonious fuckwad he was.

Some days it's Teddy Roosevelt.

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were fuckin' assholes too.

Julian needs to up his game.

[Purveyor]

35. Locking.

Forum host conclude this is disruptive meta.
