| to those cheering the Fox reporter beatings |
|
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... If you are among those cheering this put me on ignore now because you won't like what I have to say. HOW DARE ANYONE cheer the beating of a reporter.I don't give ONE SHIT who they are reporting for..don't EVER cheer the beating of a reporter. I'm ASHAMED to call myself a member of this board tonight. If it was KO over there that got beat and the FReepers were making fun of it we would be screaming bloody murder over it.How are we any better? I swear i am about ready to delete this site.It's becoming WORSE than FR. How about we take a step back and get back to what this site is supposed to be about..advancing progressive ideas ...instead of this crap
