1. Oh yeah, I like his words

to Dick Cheney

[NYCGirl]

2. You mean the guy who got tombstoned here (twice) for acting like an

asshole? He thought we Democrats were "too PC."

[Maat]

3. Did he really?

Oh, well! He expressed those sentiments to Cheney - got to admire him for that!

[NYCGirl]

4. Yep.

He was a real jerk. Got really pissy when anyone disagreed with him.

[Maddy McCall]

22. I don't think it was really him.

Here's my reason. The real guy was in Biloxi, in the disaster zone, where there was no electricity, thus no computer.

Do y'all really think that he had time to post, in between caring for patients and dealing with the disaster? Being a Katrina victim myself, I know I didn't have time to post at DU for a long time after the disaster.

7. Here's a couple of his posts...

more on the archives if you search for his screen name.

8. What I find most amazing about him

is the fact that he made it to 82 posts before he was tombstoned.

Probably his minor celebrity at having the opportunity to tell cheney what any DUer would if they had a similar opportunity.

[NYCGirl]

9. LOL! I agree, Walt.

Sometimes we DUers look up to the damndest people.

[Maddy McCall]

20. Why were you guys so convinced that the person registered under...

his name at DU was indeed him? I think it was a troll.

[Maat]

15. Wow, I had NO idea.

Thanks for pointing me to those threads.

Stunning, simply stunning.

This J.D. (law degree) thought most people knew what "equal protection of the law" meant; clearly, I was wrong.

The moderator was CORRECT: "separate but equal" is NOT a progressive value.

Well, live and learn. Just because someone expresses a sentiment to a public official that many of us might agree with - doesn't mean they are a progressive.

Again, thanks.

[Maddy McCall]

21. And just because someone registers at DU under a name...

does not make that DUer the person he registers as.

[NYCGirl]

23. Here's the proof:

Rob Kall: Since you had this Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame moment, has it changed your attitudes or your politics or beliefs any way? Strengthened, weakened, intensified?--

Well, something kind of odd happened. I've received literally thousands of emails, 95 to 98 percent of which were supportive. A few were not. Some were threatening.

I got on a website, democraticunderground.com just to talk to some of these people that were sending me these emails and ****** the extremists on the left are just as hypocritical as extremists on the right. I tried to discuss issues with compromise and what I see as real world solutions. I consider myself a realist. People try to label me a liberal because of what I said, but I think of myself as a realist and, so I got on that website and was trying to just discuss some issues and debate a little.... And after about two days, they banned me from the site. They couldn't handle any dissension from their dogma. I was basically pointing out their hypocrisy and then suddenly my threads were locked (discussion threads on an electronic bulletin board) and they removed me.... To me that just proves that they want to point the finger at the right wing for being extreme and they're just as extreme in their views. For instance, we were discussing the gay marriage issue. I tried to think of a realistic compromise for that issue, because I tried to see both points of view on that issue, which, from the right wing perspective, the word marriage, has historically, for thousands of years, has always been between a man and and a woman. That's just history. You can't negate history to satisfy a politically correct agenda. And I agree with that. I call the left wing extremists the PC utopia fascists because they have this politically correct utopia vision in their minds and that's nice, utopia's a nice idea, but reality is nowhere close to utopia.

5. delete, just answered above

[NYCGirl]

6. Yes.

His screen name was "Dr. O"

[Maat]

12. Oh, now I'm laughing MAO.

I'm checking out those posts now.

Thanks.

[moddemny]

13. He was tombstoned?

......

[Ian David]

14. Ooh. I didn't realize he'd been booted off DU (twice?)

Well, I did say Surgeon General, not Ambassador to the United Nations.

[Maddy McCall]

19. I don't think it was him. It was a troll who was capping on the...

adoration going on here at DU.

I can join DU as Martha Stewart, but that doesn't make me Martha Stewart.

10. while you're at it ckeck out his band's new song

11. Hey, I've cursed at the president and VP, too (though not in person)

Can't I be the Secretary of State?

[Maat]

16. As far as I'm concerned, Jobycom ..

you can have any office you want ... including, of course, a Supreme Court slot.

17. I like Daily Kos's idea: Whenever there's a live news crew, shout...

"Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney!"

<snip>

And if we don't hear it this time, there's THOUSANDS of us that can repeat this rallying cry whenever we see a news camera!!! Let's make it the catchphrase of 2005!!! Remember, "Where's the beef?!"?(and you don't need the VP to be there, BTW.)

1. News Camera with Journalist - Check.

2. Live broadcast - Check.

3. "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney!"

4. Repeat



Altogether now:

Go Fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney!"

"Go fuck yourself, Mr. Bush!"

Go fuck yourself!!

Go fuck yourself!!

GO FUCK YOURSELF!!

24. Thanks! Obviously, you win my vote when you run for president, then!

:-) Since Bush isn't planning to appoint me.
