A Message from H.M.Q. Hillary
As you know my dear people, the last year for me has been an annus horribilus. We have been tormented by questions about our handling of finances and the royal house of Clinton has been subjected to tiresome questions about the tragic events in Benghaziin the furthest regions of our empire.
Nevertheless, I will not be daunted in my desire and commitment to serve you the people. For the next seventeen months I will be traveling among you as one of you to listen to your deepest longings and needs. I will be with you in your Wal-Mart and beside you in your Burger Kings. I will drive with you down the busy interstate highways of our land sharing your poverty and need with you.

Edit: This has been locked and unlocked by the hosts as being meta. I do not want to drive traffic to the right wing site and it is completely unnecessary for me to drive traffic to them when it is already posted on du word for word. It is simple common sense that I wouldn't want to drive traffic to patheos.

(30,481 posts)And someone forced to work in a shop that had Rush blaring for years, I fully understand the verbiage they use against us. This is exactly how Rush speaks about her. When he isn't making jokes about her doing his laundry. The manner in which they talk about democrats is truly disgusting. The headline alone was all that was necessary to know a right wing extremist wrote it.

(10,406 posts)I see no complaints about DU or it's members in this OP. A link to the full text on another thread is not complaining especially when the alternative to reading the full text here on DU is going to a rw website.

No issues with In The Wind at all.
Pretty shitty writing at Patheos, right? Bunch of right wing extremists. Didn't need to get past the headline to realize it was written by one.

(30,481 posts)I find it to be disgusting and ensured no duer would have to give those pieces of shit traffic.
Pretty disgusting and blatant right wing verbiage they use, right?
I personally didn't have to get past the headline to know it was written by a right winger.

(30,481 posts)Truly no idea what so ever how you got to your curiosity in this instance. I made sure not one poster would have to click that shit hole of a site. Glad we both agree on that.
Have a great day rick.

(30,481 posts)Considering this has been locked and unlocked, I am assuming there is or was a discussion going on. Here you are as a host asking me the exact same thing three times, when I fully answered you the first time. Do you think this is acceptable host behavior? Asking a poster the exact same question three times when I can only imagine you were part of a discussion to lock or unlock. That doesn't seem on the up and up. As a host, can you tell me where to take my grievance in this matter?
I don't want to drive traffic to an insane right wing website and had no need to do so. Far right wingers have been using these terms to describe democrats for decades. They will do the same to Sanders if he is elected. There should be no reason for me to be baited by a host or for this to be shut down on a progressive board.

(30,481 posts)Pretty disgusting verbiage by the right wing extremists at patheos, right?
I personally think it is great to be able to highlight decades of right wing talking points all at once. I also think it is a great benefit to this community. We have a lot of new people in the process, just as happens every presidential election cycle, and they are best served by knowing their enemy. These new people are the future of our party and it's exciting. Not everyone has followed politics for decades like I have. I think we should share our knowledge with respect to right wing extremists with them. Plus for everyone.

I wonder why so many people would rec threads that link to those sites.
Autumn
(45,056 posts)even web sites for democrats, started by democrats, I've seen some pretty nasty stuff said about Bernie Sanders.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)Those around here like you and I who have been political for decades can smell this language from a mile away, right?
Autumn
(45,056 posts)that "right wing extremist verbiage language" in that OP, speaking as one old hand to another, But somehow I don't remember seeing one. If you give me a link I'll be happy to apologize though.

NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)I figured you would recognize the verbiage. I never asked you for an apology and wouldn't do so.
My op is not about other members like you wish to discuss. I wasn't aware Patheos was not to be trashed by some. I will continue to trash them.
Autumn
(45,056 posts)"right wing extremist verbiage language" that was used in that OP, just this one that you linked to, so I guess we are done here.
