"I can't believe I read this at a so-called liberal/progressive site"
Isn't that the weakest response to a post or posts? I mean come on people, be creative!

Seriously, I actually LOL (laugh out loud) every time I see someone try to use that statement as some sort of dig on people here. You may as well call them "poopy pants" and say "I know I am but what are you?"

Nothing in particular prompted this thread except that I saw that crappy phrase being used a few times this morning and I had to lol.

9. There's always bound to be a few knuckleheads
But the majority of people support gay rights and women's rights. But then again, it depends on how much support is expected of people for what others feel passionate about.

I became a so-called liberal some years ago.

If you want to go to a liberal site, then feel free.

But us so-called liberals.... well, we're like that.

15. too many net nannies
"how could you type that - it is so not progressive"

"I can't believe you are wasting your time on that issue when people are dying (a) in Dafur (b) in Iraq (c) of hunger (d) other."

It's also telling when its "your protest is not as good as my protest", that one makes me laugh.

Oh and the attacks in GD then running to the lounge for the back slapping, that's always classy. :freak:

DU, not an echo chamber like the right try to depict and sometimes, not a very pleasant place. Just wait for the primaries. :scared:

18. Not particularly weak.
Starting a thread to call them out over it doesn't strike me as a strong response.

24. Yeah, it is a pretty lame response.
Better to post on why you feel that a position isn't progressive or liberal without calling out other posters for not seeing it the same way.


Oh yeah, and I can't believe you're such a poopy pants, johnnie.

25. Depends on the context.
Some times it's lame.

Some times it's justified.

32. I can't believe people actually say that
This is a partisan site for democrats, I don't see it being particularly progressive or liberal.
