DU, have you lost yo' damn mind?

[Drunken Irishman]

This place is nuttier than a Palin family reunion. Seriously. Some of you need to step back and get a fucking grip. Some of you are acting like raving loons! All ya'll need is some foaming of the mouth and you'd have the part down perfectly.

4. if you are not outraged, you are not paying attention

if you're paying attention and are not outraged, you are a lost cause

[kick-ass-bob]

6. have you heard some of these people though?

I am outraged, but some people are jumping on every little thing like they are a rabid dog in heat.

[bigwillq]

8. That's what you get on message boards.

People take message boards way too seriously. DU is fine, imo.

[Skittles]

9. it's what happens when people get thoroughly fucked over

they tend to read the worst in every situation, perhaps for good reason

[Drunken Irishman]

11. Then DUers' insides must be ravaged...

Because a great deal here have been tweaking for years and years now.

[Skittles]

13. yes, for about, oh, 10 years

[TreasonousBastard]

19. There are thousands of Haitians living in tents scared to death of cholera who...

have been thoroughly fucked over.

Afghani women have been so thoroughly fucked over that many of them are setting themselves on fire.

There are people on death row who never killed anyone, and thousands more in prison for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And there are whiny little spoiled brats with broadband connections who think they've been fucked over.

(The simple truth is that how fucked over you think you are often depends on your expectations)

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Then continue flirting with insanity. Just don't get pissed off when people laugh at you.

[Catherina]

18. Were you laughng on election night? Oh yeah, I thought so. Laughing like a lost jackal. n/t

[treestar]

23. Seems to be a bit of gloating about election night here.

15. Like spam in the mailbox, we need a new filter.

K & R

If message contains

The President is a p***y +
"Huffington Post said he" +
It's the end of the world +
We need to primary him OR
I'm leaving the Dem party =

junk.

There was a thread last night with about a hundred people saying things that would have gotten them tombstoned a short while ago. I honestly think they probably should be tombstoned now but I have too much work to do to execute that. If it's even legal now. So my ignore list is going to get mighty long.

I hope this is a short term blip because otherwise this place is going to be less useful for actually organizing.

I had a thread earlier this week that proposed posting all the great articles we see here on local message boards as a group effort for the next few years, to spread the progressive message and un-f*ck the next election. There are enough people here to do it. We spend enough time here sitting on our asses. No resource is in short supply for this free and effective task.

I got about half a dozen responses.

Some person posts that OBAMA CAVED and there are a hundred responses all trashing him in the most dishonorable way.

I concur with your post 100%.

Aloha.

16. I think...

they like being jerked around by Poltico/HuffPo/Drudge and Fox News to tell you the truth.

[zeemike]

17. that has been the pattern of things for some time now.

First some act like raving loons....then the loon police come in and call them out and suggest that the situation is falling apart.
One feeds off the other....I believe they call it co dependant.
but it has it's perpose....to keep things the same and keep us separate as much as possable....loons and non loons can never come together.

[TreasonousBastard]

20. The best part of DU is...

"hide thread"

"Ignore" comes up a close second.

[treestar]

22. Palin Family Reunion!

[flamingdem]

25. I think we should all agree to take a couple tabs of LSD and then discuss in detail nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

26. Locking.

Thanks for your understanding.
