1. I don't get the animosity.

Sure, I support Obama, but I can't understand the venom directed at another democrat. It's vile.

[skygazer]

2. Wow - talk about beating a dead horse

(Is that a new low for the Lounge?)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I hope somebody alerted on it...

There is no place on DU for such garbage...

I mean, really...

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and I mean that!

[TZ]

4. I alerted on it.

Made me want to barf..and I don't even like her!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Me, too. That was nasty.

[KSinTX]

14. Just saw it and alerted also

Sick f*cks

[bigwillq]

6. I alerted on it.

That poster should be banned.

Just a sick and disturbing thread.

[DS1]

7. banning is a bit harsh

a suspension maybe. some people read sick jokes and laugh, others see them as dark. I see it as a really bad joke. Or better, a failure of a bad attempt as a bad joke. But it shouldn't result in a banning.

8. Good thing I am not an admin.

;)


Ok, ok, I see your point.

But the poster did threaten a democrat that is running for president. Yeah, one could dislike her but to wish death upon her...that's really, really harsh.

[DS1]

9. And I understand your point, too

If someone had compared the horse to Obama, I'd have probably alerted on it too. I run a 'gaming' forum where similar attacks take place, so I know that sometimes people are being dicks just for the sake of being dicks, or they are being dicks without realizing how much of a dick they are being. In this case, a warning would be appropriate.

like: Stop being a dick.

12. It doesn't matter

which candidate one supports. I am not a 100 percent Obama fan or a 100 percent Clinton fan, I voted for Kucinich, and feel both Obama and Clinton are centrists. Neither are progressive enough for my tastes.

Don't know why I am getting heated over this. It's just that I am at work, and work sucks and I am in a pissy mood.

:) :hi:

[DS1]

13. I hear you on that, too.

And as I replied to CommiePinko, this is why neither of us are admins. It's a tough job.

[bigwillq]

15. Yes it is.

:)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. No, it's not. -nt

[DS1]

11. and that's why it's not up to either of us

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. Another asshole's already jumped on the bandwagon, and I alerted on both:

[Chan790]

17. This one's locked...but not the other one?! n/m

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. Looks like it...and the one I just posted is the newer of the two.

With the amount of people in this thread who have said that they alerted, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the other one is locked too.

:patriot:

[TZ]

19. Yeah

Did you see the jerk OP calling everyone who criticized them..dimwits and a-holes? Now THERE's a winning strategy....

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. It's "The Internets"...

...brings out the best and the worst in everyone with access. At least DU is fortunate enough to have a process in place to deal with it, eh?

:toast:

[madinmaryland]

21. jeebus! where's ******1776?

and why do you hate horses!

:hi:

[Dr. Strange]

24. He has the whole Lounge on Ignore.

[Cabcere]

22. Wow, that's...not cool.

:(

[Danger Mouse]

23. alerted on the pig.
