Allow me to sum up what GD has become, in one picture:

[EstimatedProphet]

5. Only when they're punching each other

[Danger Mouse]

6. Dammit, Beavis, you suck.

Dammit, Butthead, YOU suck, and you're never gonna score!
Huh huh, shut up, buttwipe.

[Seashell Eyes]

27. "Hillary Clinton/John Edwards/Barack Obama is a buttmunch!"

"No, you're a buttmunch, Asswipe! huh-huh huh-huh."

[otherlander]

[PVnRT]

13. And the cause:

[mainegreen]

14. Oh yeah?

[Le Taz Hot]

15. I would have thought it was

closer to GD-Politics. I find this stratification thing from the lounge lizards amusing.

[EstimatedProphet]

16. I don't spend a lot of time in GDP, so I can't talk about it

I have seen a lot of over-the-top browbeating, ridiculous strawmen, and extremism for the hell of it in GD though - pretty much every day, it seems.

[underpants]

17. God how I HATE Emily Yeung!!!

:grr:

[EstimatedProphet]

19. I had to google her to find out what you mean

Is that a picture of her?

[underpants]

22. No-but we just don't have very many anti-Emily Yeung rants around here

:bounce:

[DS1]

20. I thought it was Michelle Malkin

:shrug:

who knew?

[NewJeffCT]

29. What's wrong with Emily Yeung?

and, is she as bad as Daniel Cook?

[underpants]

33. No

[Dragonbreathp9d]

23. this is a great thread, k&r

[Parche]

24. Oh Bull

:hi: :hi:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

25. There are days when........just for a single second.....

......I read GD and think "So this is what conservatives mean when they say "wacky, far out lefties".

It makes me sick to think that, and I blame GD TOTALLY for it.

[jobycom]

31. Goes longer than a second for me, some days.

Worse, I can picture the sane majority of Democrats reading some of those threads, and thinking "Hey, I ain't sticking my fingers in there to get them bitten off!"

[SteppingRazor]

26. And, of course, you can't forget:

On edit: Hmm .... OK, never mind then :P

[datasuspect]

28. dream responses to some GD posters

Which is a compliment to your thread, but a sad commentary on my day. :(
