DU FRONT PAGE TODAY: IGNORANT, STUPID, FOOLISH

[HollyC]

GET THAT MONSTROUS FRONT PAGE FIXED! IT LOOKS LIKE THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? TRY A BIG BLACK BOX FOR TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not understand "framing" ala Lakoff whatsoever??? IT LOOKS LIKE RUPERT MURDOCH DESIGNED DU'S FRONTPAGE TODAY!!!!!!!

[Stephanie]

1. Yeah right.

I bet you are worried it will "make US look bad." Is that it? Hmmm?

[HollyC]

14. I couldn't make the dems look worse than they are!

they do it to themselves! they don't need my help!

[PunkPop]

17. Correct. We don't need your help

so just concentrate on selling jewelry, ok?

[HollyC]

18. Big Tent Falls Down

tent poles knocked over by runaway elephants

[Der Blaue Engel]

19. Then why are you here?

Honestly, I'm amazed that so many Democrat-haters find this board so fascinating. We must be doing something right.

(I think you might have gotten some spittle on your monitor and typed in the wrong URL.)

[HollyC]

23. ?

You have no way to know who or what I am- now I'm suddenly a "Democrat-hater" for pointing to Lakoff.

If you want & like a leering Bush graphic lighting your way today on Black Thursday, I guess you must be a real Democrat- down there, on your knees.

STAND UP, STUPID

[Der Blaue Engel]

26. "I couldn't make the dems look worse than they are!"

"they do it to themselves! they don't need my help!"

Doesn't sound like you're loving us. I'm not referring to Lakoff, but the way you're foaming at the mouth.

Resorting to personal attacks only confirms my feelings.

[PunkPop]

2. Calm down.

I like it. Even if I didn't, it's not that big a deal. Chill.

[trogdor]

3. "Enquirer" style quite appropriate, IMO.

We're going to Hell in a handbasket, and a large number of us are looking forward to the trip. Sad.

[liberalnurse]

4. Ah.......

have we hit a nerve while pull on that cavity?

[skylarmae]

5. I'm with you - I must be

missing something, cause I just don't get this one.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. So come in through the forums like I do...

7. Hi Holly!

Welcome to DU!!! :hi:

I liked the graphic and I saved it for future reference. Sorry you don't feel the same way. The way I look at it, DU is our home that we pay for with our donations. We have no need for the frame to communicate with each other.

I'm not too concerned about Lakoffian communications today, to be honest with you. And actually, I think that's more like Eleanor Clift's job, since she has a nice big forum in Newsweek with which to communicate our framing to the MSM world.

8. what is your problem

this is a wonderful illustration of the crimes of the state

[Merlot]

9. I think it's a nice contrast to what we'll be seeing on MSM

[AntiCoup2K4]

10. Smells like Freep Spirit?

..Oh nevermind, I was just thinking of Nirvana :eyes:

[musette_sf]

12. Isn't that a deodorant?

"Freep Spirit -- strong enough for a Mann"

[liberalnurse]

11. It reminds me of the HBO series

Carnivale's introduction.....Who here has watched Carnivale?

[cali]

13. What are you? fucking blind?

The backdrop features photos of a grinning Charles Graner, Rumsfield shaking hands with Sadaam, the phony mobile chemical weapons vans, a repub convention goer with the stupid bandaid, and more. This is hardly a flattering depiction of President body bag.

[HollyC]

16. none so blind as those who will not see

No, actually. I READ Lakoff & instead of merely quoting him, took it to heart. You can choose to become theatre of the absurd if you want to, but you're just marginalizing yourselves- this looks like the cover of the Onion. BAD IDEA.

This is just endorsing the master slave relationship & the whipped Democratic dog mentality, making into a joke because that is literally how pervasive the failure of the Democrats has been, during this Black Thursday & neocon coup II.

[RaulGroom]

20. So you don't like it

You seem to be freaking out a bit here. Perhaps a longer exposition of what, exactly, you don't like about the graphic would be more informative than what we have seen so far.

[DrWeird]

22. You should repost that in all capitals.

That helps your argument a lot.

[Der Blaue Engel]

24. Your posts are inappropriate for this forum

Please take it ATA if you have complaints about the administration of the site.

[HollyC]

25. What is, Romper Room?

Inappropriate? I donate here too & criticizing a front page graphic is "inappropriate"? Next thing you know, I'll be criticizing the goverment.

[Connie_Corleone]

27. The poster is telling you to post your topic in ATA forum

ATA=Ask the Administrator forum.

[PunkPop]

28. He said

"inappropriate for this forum". Pay attention.

[Der Blaue Engel]

29. What is Romper Room supposed to mean?

Your personal attacks are weird, but also inappropriate.

Enjoy your stay.

:hi:

[muse]

15. I hate it, also. Here I am trying to avoid all chimp images today

and there he is - smiling - on the front page of DU. Whatever the point of it is, I would rather not see him smiling at me when I come to DU today. The background stuff is fine.

[moggie12]

21. I thought we'd been hacked by FR when I first saw it
