Ok, I've HAD IT with these Palin/baby threads

[shadowrider]

What would any of you say if the right wingers went after Michelle and HER kids in the kind of way you are going after Sarah Palin?? It's all unsubstantiated BS.

I came here on a recommendation from a friend to discuss issues in an intelligent, thoughtful way. But the more I read, the more it sickens me. This is nothing more than a damn feeding frenzy.

Tombstone, flame, whatever. Right now I'm ashamed to admit to people I'm a member of this forum.

1. So much so that you start another...

[annabanana]

2. then don't start any

:eyes:

[Prefer]

3. You mean what if the party of "Chelsea is a dog"

said something offensive about a candidates child?

[Paulie]

4. There are plenty of other areas on DU to share and enjoy

This particular one, General Discussion:Politics/Presidential has always been a bit different than the rest of the board.

I love LBN here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=102

[vaberella]

10. I agree with Paulie. Come back in a weeks time here when this has died down.

It's annoying but won't last long.

[vaberella]

5. I recommend staying. This is a rough patch. I hate it as well, but it won't last long. n/t

[JVS]

6. Give him what he asked for!

[azmouse]

7. The 'Hide Thread' feature is your friend.

I'm hiding every thread that is mere speculation about that baby.

Enough is enough. There is nothing left to say about it until some facts come to light.

8. Well Goodbye

Most of the discussion here is of an intelligent and thoughtful nature, but sometimes things happen, and even here people gossip.

If you're looking for perfection, good luck.

[City Lights]

9. If they bother you so much, you should hide them rather than start

another one just to lecture others. :eyes:

11. Okee Dokee

Message received, you aren't happy with the discussions. Well you can always put certain posters on ignore, hide certain threads... or just plain old, don't click on them. If the talk makes you feel so uncomfortable, I'm sure none of us would ever want to force you to engage in it.


Just a word to the wise, though... it might be seen as a bit rude to address the issue so harshly, especially since you're a newcomer and all. and BTW, welcome to DU:)

[pampango]

12. Thank you. n/t

[redqueen]

13. HIDE THREAD

use it

14. With the senate and house and pres on vacation, and the DNC over, This is news.

This board moves so fast, we'll be onto something else sooner than later.

Plus, we all know she wasn't vetted and they're up there right now trying to sort it out.

Plus, she is under investigation for abuse of power.

This is politics. She is the current event.

We also know that often we are aware of stories before they become local or nationally covered. We know that the real news organizations have to investigate these allegations before we assume their validity.

But when a fundie christian is trying to become president and set my agenda for my body and my daughter's, and seat my new supreme court, all of this matters.

Everyone here wants Obama seating the next court members. Our constitutional rights have been violated all these years. If this scandal can keep McCain out of the white house, it works for me.

If Bill Clinton can't mess around with interns, then we can and we will hold this woman to her own standards of conduct.

[REP]

15. Yeah, I'm CONCERNED about it too

In fact, I'll start a thread about how CONCERNED I am about ugly nasty rumors that Palin adopted her unmarried teenage daughter's child and hushed the whole thing up.

[stray cat]

16. I felt the same way about Edwards supposed affair - except it did turn out to be accurate

[mwb970]

17. I've HAD it with people who have HAD it.

How many more "shut up about it" threads will we have to endure? Why can't we talk about what we want to talk about anyway? Who are you? Someone special?

[seabeyond]

18. if michelle obama said she woke at 4 am to find leakage then had a meeting

and flew across the country i would have very little respect for the woman. if a friend did that i would have no respect....

[bobd0]

19. That's OK. I'm ashamed to admit to people you're a member of this forum too.

Just sayin'

[DrZeeLit]

20. Yeah, everyone needs to stop and breathe. The best example IS Obama's reaction. CALM.

Look... this is NOTHING.

We run on OUR GUY and HIS CHOICE.
We run on class.
We run on that big ol' chant of ENOUGH!

And we keep our eye on the ball and the prize.

This whole thing is EXACTLY the distraction that McCain's camp wanted.

Worry or not... the whole NOVELTY will melt away and then the ugly truth will be so obvious: NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME.

Okay, now go watch 60 Minutes and smile a lot.
Really.

Do it!
Now!

I'm telling you..... stop the nonsense. And back Obama!
