I'm confused...
Vicious, outrageously bigoted group attacks on Appalachians, complete with photos of them sitting naked on outdoor toilets, fine.

Satirical posts concerning Obama supporters, immediate deletion.

Okay, I get it now.

10. Apparently the head honchos aren't getting the message...
...that most of the offending loudmouths are sitting in their Mommies' basements waiting for the next allowance check for their pizza and beer, while it's the rest of us grownups who have been paying the bills.

Well, that's the new, hipper audience they wanted and look how well that's working out. If their desired demographic won't pony up now, it won't be any easier once the election is over and the politically ADD-afflicted switch channels to the next episode of American Idol meets Ultimate Fighter.

I'm only sorry that so many longtime and loyal DUers have been bullied away from this board.

4. Thanks rodeodance, but I get it now, I really do
I've pretty much given up myself. This is not the Democratic Party of RFK, that's for sure. He would be hanging his head in shame and so should those posters. But this is a new age, one in which a palpable meanness courses just below the pretty pictures of rainbows and chants of hope. The irony is astounding.

3. And to think that West Virginia was Union
a state born of resistance to slavery, that is now branded as racist because it went for Hillary. Astounding.

6. very ironic
The educated and sophisticated people are looking down their noses at the people in West Virginia, yet a few times I saw one of them write that the people of West Virginia are still fighting the Civil War. How could these educated and arrogant people be ignorant of the fact that West Virginia fought with the Union, and yet call West Virginians morons and ignorant and "stuck on stupid?"

7. No confusion....
Here's what happened:

The RWM has installed Obama as our candidate. And the sheeple are following.....

Foreign policy will now be the big issue in the fall, rather than the economy.

Some big war on islam will break out in... oh... let's say.... September??? Around 9/11. Yeah, that's it.

Be prepared to be played. Yet again.
