Giving up is exactly what the propagandists have been counting on for the past 3 decades. The long timers here at DU know what I'm talking about. We've seen the game play out here since DU's first prez primary and election.

This isn't about any poll, it's about a Moonie News poll. blm Feb 2016 #97

Makes no difference at all to me. I've already discounted any poll in which Hillary is not in lead. merrily Feb 2016 #107

Whether a source is Moonie News or not should make a difference to every citizen, and, especially blm Feb 2016 #116

What would you suggest I do about a Moonie source, after I discount it? merrily Feb 2016 #122

Same thing you'd do if you discovered Ted Cruz was courting your vote wearing a Sanders mask. blm Feb 2016 #125

Ted Cruz is a human being. I can't kick link on the internet in the shins. merrily Feb 2016 #129

Your post is dishonest. I said nothing that suggests I find a Moonie source credible. merrily Feb 2016 #131

Then why are you dogging me about it and why recommend this Moonie News thread and blm Feb 2016 #133

Wow. Your second dishonest post in a row. Who's been dogging who again? merrily Feb 2016 #135

Gee, must be your tone. I was giving a heads up about the source. You didn't like it. blm Feb 2016 #136

My tone? You hear tone on the internet? Wow. merrily Feb 2016 #137

If WFB is not legitimate to you then why take aim at those saying it's a RW Moonie 'news' source? blm Feb 2016 #73
