Reply #2: For anyone who is rushing to compare DU to FreeRepublic:

[progressivebydesign]

I KNOW we have people crusing DU tonight, looking for equally disgusting posts to PROVE that we are as bad as Freeperland.. and are the hate-filled counterpart to them.

Wrong.

The difference at DU??? We DO have some really classless posts here, some stuff WAAAY over the top. BUT. If someone goes off the deep end, we, as a community, don't let if go unchallenged. There is NEVER a groupthink here, never an accepted thought process. Disruptors are not tolerated, but newbies are given ample time to establish themselves, and explain misstarts. Do we DUers bitch and joke about the Republicans? Yep! But.. more than anything, our words are backed up with facts. Freeperland requires you to be a thoughtless asshole, if you stray from the groupthink you are attacked immediately.

I'm glad they've been exposed.
