On the posting of *Rightwing* sources, for BOTH sides:
Obama and Clinton supporters, how far have we fallen? FauxNews, Billo, Townhall, Lucianne, Washington Times, anonymous smear blogs, and worse. Is this really the direction we want to go? You're fouling your own nest.

I will admit that I may have lol'd at a story from one of the above sources at one time or another, mea culpa.

But, the persistent posting of rightwing swill in GDP is unconscionable. From both sides!

And with that, have a nice day y'all :hi:

2. we are just being lazy, at best, when we use some fascist RW talking point...
to make some lame point "for ourselves"....

a good rule of thumb is:

If Rush is saying it...why would you ever adopt such a thought?

ditto (couldn't resist) for: hannity, o'really?, gibson, buchanan(s), medved, humphries, levin, boortz, etc....

"lie with pigs, don't ask where the shitty smell comes from.."

4. You forgot Daniel Pipes
It's been a couple of weeks, though, so maybe that poster's been done away with. :)

6. Why didn't Obama supporters think of this..."the persistent posting of rightwing swill in GDP
is unconscionable" when they started slinging RW slime/talking points 24/7 at Hillary. We kept asking them to stop and pointing out that they were harming their own Democratic candidate... but the slurs kept coming until they finally realized they were doing more harm than good. Many still haven't learned and keep the slurs going.

They will only learn when McCain wins the presidency. Funny how they gave Rethugs plenty of RW ammunition to use against Hillary...but that was OK...but now these same people are complaining that Hillary is giving the Rethugs ideas to use against Obama... as if they couldn't think of them all by themselves. Humf!

This whole place is unconscionable including most of the asinine threads posted here.

8. Pardon me if I am incorrect
but I believe at one time, so many months ago, posting links to those sites would result in a swift "deleted" "name removed". It took me a long time to figure out which sites were being posted because they were removed so quickly. I know DU has grown a lot bigger since those days. I also know mods to a great and thankless job, but I have begun to think that the standards have slipped just a little.
