"Your Mother's a WHORE!"

[SoCalDem]

"You" respond with obvious displeasure and tell the offender to STFU.

They yell it again..only louder.

You up the ante and a little scuffle breaks out.

The "yeller" is now accusing YOU of stifling "their" 1st amendment rights.

Media types interview the now-blubbering AcademyAward nominee, and show his rumpled clothing. Blubberer is soft-spoken and looks bewildered at being subjected to such harsh treatment.

Simplistic, but it's the core principle of republican activism.

[meegbear]

1. My mother's a SAINT!

[MurrayDelph]

40. Hey,

that Halo isn't fooling anyone.

[babylonsister]

2. And there you have it. Rec'd. nt

[Ghost013]

3. Really?

Just need to have a little more self control then....

[SoCalDem]

4. Say hi to Ghost012 when you get home

:rofl:

[noiretextatique]

6. you still have

that wicked sense of humor :rofl:

[Ghost013]

10. Hu??

Is this how you all treat new people??

[arbusto_baboso]

14. It's spelled "huh?" Not to be a spelling nazi or anything, but....

That's just one MORE thing that's wrong with your posts.

[Jim Sagle]

33. Goddamn...even the TROLLS have been outsourced.

:thumbsup:

[SoCalDem]

37. Live! from Trollsylvania

[Tulio]

72. LOL ! (nt)

45. "the beginning is always the time for making sure the balances are corect"

if I can remember my Bene Gesserit sayings.

If you want to be able to later say "Here I am, and here I remain." then it is best to start out on the left foot.

That is, it is best not to take the side of the Republican disruptoids from the start, although after you have paid a few years of DUes, you might be able to get away with it.

Might :hide:


It helps too, if you are educated, well-read, eloquent and funny. Quote a good book, if you can.


Modesty too. You need lots of that.

[KamaAina]

46. Hu's on first?

I don't know. What's the name of the guy on second? :shrug:

[Obama2012]

47. I got treated pretty good

:)

[LewisCass]

52. Good!

I'm waiting to get jumped:P KIDDING!

[abumbyanyothername]

54. No.

Just the trolls.

:rofl:

[LewisCass]

56. OK

How can I spot them, in this case I was able to follow along!;)

[abumbyanyothername]

57. Read the rules

they're pretty clear.

[tbyg52]

61. Well, when they seem to be saying

that the answer to the screaming bullies is to "have more self control," yes. *My* answer would be "call out the cops."

[arbusto_baboso]

5. Yeah, I'm sure YOU would have lots of self-control in the same situation.

Or do you just confuse self-control with cowardice?

[Ghost013]

19. Kidding right?

I understand both and believe there is time to stand up for your values and a time to stand strong to your morals.

[arbusto_baboso]

22. Oh, here we go. DEFINE both "morals" and "values".

This is the test to determine if you are a troll from the right, or if you simply got off on the wrong foot.

[Ghost013]

26. Lets see...

I will not define my personal values however I will say they are my own set standards for what I view to be right and wrong...

Morals would be based on standards grown over time built up by society...

I didn't realize to post without people jumping on me I would need to take tests.

[Control-Z]

32. You should probably

study up and try again.

[Ghost013]

36. I tried to keep it to simple terms for you

I didn't realize the only answer accepted would be a full textbook outline.

So you tell me then what part should I study up on?

I seem to be stuck in a cycle not worth my time, is this how you all treat people face to face or you prefer to stay paranoid behind a keyboard and drive all new people away?

Good luck with that!

[TahitiNut]

76. Tell you what ... go take the "Political Compass" test and get back to us with the result. OK??

http://www.politicalcompass.org/


I'll show you mine (below) so you show us yours.

[orleans]

77. oh great--now everyone will want to take that test!

;)

[Mnemosyne]

86. Couldn't resist. :)

Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.79

[Control-Z]

80. Now, look what you've gone and done.

Ghost013 has left the building.

[TahitiNut]

81. Sensitivity to light, I guess.

I've noticed that cockroaches also scuttle away when the light is turned on.

:shrug:

[SoCalDem]

83. Be on the lookout for Ghost014

:)

[Hutzpa]

44. .

[Ikonoklast]

29. It's the use of numbers in their 'handle'.

They haven't figured it out yet, but it's almost always a dead giveaway.

Cryptic enough for you?

[redwitch]

7. "The rest shall fall silent"

?

[Contrary1]

11. Says the chickenshit who won't even post a fake profile. n/t

[Ghost013]

24. OK

Apparently everyone who joins fills in all their information at that time hu?

I think some of you are to a point that you will shun anyone new because your to busy pre judging them based on their post count...Grow up and get a grip will ya!

[Contrary1]

31. Hu?

[Control-Z]

27. You can't see the tombstone

that way. It is so disappointing.

[TommyO]

48. Actually, when tombstoned, their profiles become unhidden.

[Control-Z]

53. It's always worked in the past.

Here's one from this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=244158

[arbusto_baboso]

55. I was pretty sure that one was a troll, too.

He was slightly cleverer than most, though.

Which is to say he had roughly the same mental power as an amoeba...

[Control-Z]

58. You can almost smell them

can't you?

[Ghost013]

62. Your so smart

I bet you can tell just by their sign on ID!!

[arbusto_baboso]

63. Okay, now I'm sure YOU are, too.

Goodbye. Hope your stay was unpleasant!

[Ghost013]

66. I actually like it here and think I'll stay

I want to learn to be just like you!

[Control-Z]

68. Honey, staying is not

up to you. You'll see, I would guess quite soon.

Edit: And it's "YOU'RE". "You're so smart", not "Your so smart"

[Ghost013]

69. Are you serious?

Because you believe it true I must be a troll and therefor reported and will be banned somehow even though I have done nothing but post an opinion that others in this same thread have posted. Which is basically be a bigger man and ignore someone attempting to get you to act crazy.....

If you are correct and they simply take your word for it and ban me then this is not a site I would care to be a part of.....

[arbusto_baboso]

70. Seriously, dude, how do you find your mouth with a fork each morning?

You're (note the PROPER English grammar and spelling..) not sly. You're not fooling anyone. And because your (Again, note use of proper ENGLISH) kind is so thick around here right now, it's just taking the mods a little longer to get around to tombstoning your ass. But it will happen. Count on it.

[Control-Z]

73. TommyO, I'm sorry

I didn't read your post correctly. I thought you said they become hidden when tombstoned. So, they become UNhidden? Thanks. I didn't know that.

[Hutzpa]

43. The reincarnation has occured

whodathunkit???? :rofl:

[Birthmark]

8. No, my answer would be:

"So? What do you want? An estimate?"

[RPG Codex]

9. Ignoring works.

Isn't there like some kind of guide to activism?

[Qutzupalotl]

78. No it doesn't.

Why do disruptors want us to just lie down and take it? Because they're scared of us.

[lunatica]

12. Rec'd because I'm sure the troll unrec'd

and because you nailed the description.

[dorkulon]

13. Hey, she had to pay the bills somehow. nt

[Ilsa]

15. Medical bills, that is, right? nt

[dorkulon]

17. Just another example of the free market system at work! nt

[SoCalDem]

18. You Broccoli-ites are all alike.. Out stalking around

unless someone "de-stalks" you :rofl:

(that was fun yesterday)..almost as good as Olive Garden:)

[dorkulon]

21. Classic DU clusterfuck. I think the "dancing a jig" thread has potential to be today's. nt

[SoCalDem]

23. LINK!!!! I have missed out on it

although I am not much of a dancing person.. I don't even like music all that much..:)

[dorkulon]

25. Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6244926&mesg_id=6244926

Seems to be calming down a bit. Basic premise: The phrase "Obama's not dancing a jig" about the economy is a racist dog whistle, because "jig" is short for "jigaboo." Seriously.

[SoCalDem]

87. Yikes.. I'm staying out of that mess.

:(

[guitar man]

20. Bullshit!!

My Mother was a hamster!!

And my father smelled of elderberries!!

:rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

28. Telephone for you Sean Connery - Russia wants its sub back.

:P

[SoCalDem]

30. It does sound like Sean, doesn't it? Now you have me flashing back

to the Jeopardy skit with him :rofl:

[PVnRT]

35. I'll take "The Rapists" for $500, Alex

[bridgit]

34. My Mom's from Indiana, but I hear you, these are the very same people and they need...

to be pulled into the sunlight routinely and shaken down cause they're still running the same old game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4thvTkvbZjU&NR=1

[Hutzpa]

38. It shows that they can be

as sinister as they want knowing fully the media will always
portray them as SAINTS which is sad and hurtful to those they
have insulted.

[SoCalDem]

39. they have the Eddie Haskell gene

It has to be genetic..and through inbreeding, it's gotten more concentrated:)

[Hutzpa]

42. and institutionalized in a sense that

the media gets to play along. How else can one explain the continued
support of Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, it's no longer
in the closet they have actually removed their hoods and are spewing
hate with vigor.

[hfojvt]

41. "You know my mom's dead."

for fans of "Josie and the Pussycats"

[Blue_Tires]

49. lol at that!

[rvablue]

50. And your OP explains that if someone said this to me, I would simply ignore them.

If they're going to scream middle school insults, ignore them.

Don't even look them in the eye or engage them in their vulgarity.

We're there to ask for what all Americans need. They are there in order to satisfy their blind hate, bigotry and maybe to justify cashing that check the PR guy from the insurance company promised them.

[ColbertWatcher]

51. Dad? k+r, n/t

[Gormy Cuss]

59. I'd tell the yeller to prove it or shut up.

If the yeller just repeated the charge I'd laugh and say that only children try to get their point across by yelling the same thing repeatedly. Adults have discussions and debates.
Furthermore, if my mother were a whore there would be a public health interest in making sure she had good access to affordable health care.

[LewisCass]

60. I like this!

And would want to see the guys face when it was said to him!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

64. So it's okay to assault someone for talking about your mom?

[SoCalDem]

65. scuffle..not assault..

like when you try to escort someone out the door and they pull away...

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

67. You are right it is battery not assault.

[Hutzpa]

84. So it's ok to call your mom a whore??

:shrug:

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

85. I certainly don't think so. I would anticipate an altercation if I did so.

It's good to see people supporting Officer Crowley.

[TahitiNut]

71. Look up the "fighting words" doctrine as a limitation of free speech and 'cause' for retaliation.

There are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or "fighting words" those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality.

– Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 1942

It's not sufficient merely that such words are offensive (Street v. New York, 1969) or obscene (Cohen v. California, 1971) but that they are inherently so inciteful as to constitute a personally abusive assault.

[Control-Z]

75. Thank you for that.

Again, I learn something new on DU.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

79. Do you have an example?

[NoPasaran]

74. Has Randi Rhodes been drinking again?

For the life of me, I can't figure out this thread.
:shrug:

[NashVegas]

82. "I Am NOT a RIGHT WING WACKO"

That one was my personal favorite.

[Edweird]

88. That line makes me think of this:

[maxpower]

89. My mother is a fox news repub.

So is my dad. They won't even allow a civilized debate. It sickens me.

[Heidi]

90. "If you knew my mom as you claim to know her,

please present the receipt."

See, my mom's far more shrewd than any teabagger/freeper/disruptor could ever DREAM of being. If she ever serviced one of these, she gave a receipt and retained at least one copy so that she could write that asshat off both literally and figuratively as an act of charity.

My mom's not a sex worker, but she supports female entrpreneurs and is a sharp business person. Hope I learned a thang or two from her. :-)
