Is it just Republicans that think it's cool to be rude, ugly, snarky, childish, bullying

[raccoon]

and never take responsibility for this ugly behavior?

I'm thinking of Christie, yelling at a teacher; Joe Wilson, calling the President a liar when he was making a speech (You'd think the little coward would have respect for the office if not the person.);
Ann Coulter, referring to the POTUS as a retard (also that's a slam to people who are mentally retarded), I could go on but I'm sure you get it. Oh, and that thug who threatened to throw a reporter off the balcony.

Aren't they setting a wonderful example for kids today?

[Skittles]

1. they suck

I used to date a guy whose dad worked with Bill O'Reilly's dad (in a NON-BLUE COLLAR JOB) in New York - said O'Reilly Sr. was a big bully - imagine that

[11 Bravo]

2. The turd doesn't fall far from the rectum.

[LeftofObama]

3. Almost every republican I've ever met is a bully.

That includes those in my own family.

[Mnemosyne]

4. No, there are kids under 12 out there. nt

[Whisp]

5. No, there are 'fine, upstanding democrats'

or so they think, that say things just as nutz as Christie and Coulter.

right here.
but it's okay because they are trying to save the world from the evil mysterious Obama forces and aren't Anything like those others.

[bravenak]

7. +1

[billh58]

10. +100

There be trolls in these parts Captain...

[Puglover]

12. And one of your Bogger

buds posted this and edited it when called on it for blatant homophobia.

"4. I would say fuck Greenwald


but he might enjoy it too much."

But not a word from you or any other of your pals.

Yeah, you're to be taken seriously what with your consistent standards.

[Whisp]

15. what's that got to do with the OP and whats that got to do with me?

I know why you are pinched tho.
Nerves are tingly, are they?



I then expect You will be taking responsibility for every asshole thing said by anyone Not a Bogger then? Right? Your sins will be mightier than mine.

jeezus.
kids these days.

[Puglover]

17. You know exactly what is going on.

And are doubling down on your pals homophobia. Stay classy Whisp.

Seriously does nothing of interest ever happen in Canada?


Oh and right back at you.

[Whisp]

19. Now, where were we?

[Puglover]

20. Love it!

I voted for President Obama.

Twice.

Did you?

[Whisp]

21. you seem to know I'm from Canada.

I'll let you figure that one out on your own.

[Puglover]

22. Good point.

I just cannot for the life of me figure out why a Canadian would spend so much time attacking American Democrats that actually do vote and actually can make a difference in the American political process.

And BTW I love Canada. It is a beautiful country.

[Whisp]

23. ah, another one of those Freedom Fry people.

I've met a few here that think furiners should stfu.

I think I have a right to opinions on what my neighbours are doing if they are involved in my well being.
I'm funny that way. In fact I bet every other furiner here feels the same.

Why don't you make a poll?

[Puglover]

24. LOL oh good lord.

Yes, definitely a Freedom Fry guy here.

I live in Ecuador.

You have every right to any opinion you want to have. And I'd go to the mat to defend that right.

I just happen to think that when you are spending most of your time here attacking and dividing Democrats you are overstepping.

Por emplo: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024427373#post5

"Furiner" That's a good one.

[Whisp]

25. I don't think you know what Freedom Fries and Furiner is all about.

maybe you should look that up to get a clearer picture.

[Puglover]

26. If you are referring to the moron

freaks that après 9/11 wanted to insult the French by renaming French Fries because they would not join Bush the Lessor coalition of idiots you would be wrong.

"Furiner" simply sounds like a knuckledraggers way of referring to someone that doesn't live in the US. If there is more please do enlighten me.

[bravenak]

28. I love Canadians!!!

I live in Alaska, and as you know, we cross the border to get real health care over there. And poutine. Cheesy, gravy, delicious.
Why the Canada hate? I think people may be jealous cause you can spell better than them.
Color or colour? It's obviously colour, but American exceptionalism can warp minds and change spellings.

[Number23]

30. Whisp has nailed it about the Canada hate. So many passionate Obama supporters are from other

countries. Which drives the group of folks that try so hard to pretend that the world hates him absolutely BONKERS. They would like nothing more than to make these folks shut up, unless they despise the president as much as they do. We have a few non-Americans that do dislike the president and they are absolutely cherished by the same group that wants the non-American Obama supporters to shut up. No, it all makes sense. Really.

I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor from that poster's "point" that it is somehow Whisp's responsibility to roam the halls of this web site monitoring and chastising what other people here post. I don't think the folks that are here full time (and I'm talking about the admins, not some of the more "prolific" posters in GD) would even be able to do that. And it would take a full time staff of 20 to "monitor" the president's incessant detractors here. Absolutely unreal comment.

[bravenak]

31. It's strange.

Like how somebody yesterday asked me what black people have been doing to combat white racism and inequality. Like whoa!! Why is it black peoples jobs to fix white racism?

[Number23]

32. It's gonna take me a minute to get over that person's comment

That was some of the craziest, most nonsensical shit I've seen around here in a long time.

[bravenak]

33. Right?

I laughed out loud before I could help myself. The lack of awareness is American exceptionalism at its finest.

[bravenak]

34. Or white privilege.

I can't decide.

[Puglover]

18. Yes I will.

If and when you point out a bigoted nasty slur to me by ANYONE on this board I will publically agree with you that it is bullshit. And I don't give a crap who they are.

[Number23]

29. Careful! Or the folks that more than make up in victimhood what they lack in historical knowledge

(and not just knowledge of American history, WORLD history too judging by their bewildered befuddlement at how horrible the world is and has been for lots and lots of people for a long, long time) will start accusing you of calling them a racist!!!12!1

[pintobean]

6. There must be a shit-ton of Republicans on DU

It is getting better, though.

[bravenak]

8. Nope.

Democrats think it's ok to post things from hate sites that offend others and see no problem with it.
Gotta fix us before we can start trying to fix them.

[11 Bravo]

9. Fuck no, there are more than a few DUers who are fine with it as well.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

11. You ask this after accumulating over 22,000 posts on DU?

[hughee99]

13. Kids should look to better role models, like Chicago's mayor.

[CJCRANE]

14. There is some false equivalence between DUers and elected officials and TV pundits

going on in this thread.

DUers are (mostly) anonymous posters on a fairly obscure message board.

[KG]

16. this thread is comedy gold.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

27. Republicans have always been nasty and negative.

Read up on Joe McCarthy destroying peoples' lives with his witch hunts and blacklist; his buddies Roy Cohn and Richard Nixon. And lots of others. They are just getting more outspoken and obvious with their name-calling and hatred. They don't have facts on their side.
