In reply to the discussion: Sometimes I think we elected Barack Obama president only in order to abuse him [View all]Democracyinkind
(4,015 posts)43. I agree that all those places are worse, no doubt.
Also, I used to post on boards about conspiracies and argued holocaust deniers, and that was way worse, no doubt about it.
I should therefore further qualify my statement by saying that the shock comes from finding it on such a forum as DU. I don't frequent FR and the rest so the baseline on which I am arguing here is not "the worst on the internet". If people took my post as saying that the BOG is the most fascist place on the whole internet then I'm sorry. That wasn't my point. But among boards that I consider "friendly", I have never seem anything like it. The slightest, unpersonal criticism can generate the most personal attacks.

As if I ever spewed hate against Obama, the president I proudly voted for.

Yes. I've never witnessed such group behaviors outside of the internet.
