in the words of Rodney King: can't we all get along?
I am not a verbose person, and I am sure I am not the first to say this on GDP.

We're all adults and we are passionate about our candidates. But I think the discussion of the issues seems to be clouded in name calling, and other not so gentle discussion, at times it seems immature and

In the end the Democrats will choose one Presidential candidate, which will be running against the Republican nominee. If we want to take back the White House, is it asking too much to keep the discussion civil on the way to the Democratic convention.

The people we want to beat up on is the other party, remember?

4. So Rodney King was a drug addict...
His quote had nothing to do with his addiction, and what does that have to do with the original topic?

7. Rodney King continues to deficate on the poster boy image that statement implies.
He gets arrested every once in awhile drunk or on drugs.

I recall a few times, he is NOT someone to qoute.

9. Because it's more fun to make snap decisions over controversial comments.
Regardless of how much detail/reasoning/whatever is put into the original comment, those snap one-liner come-backs are more fun.
