A one picture summary of the farce that GD: P has become:

[Political Heretic]

See new sig:

[villager]

1. "See what a scourge is laid upon your hate..."

...as one other poster said in relation to GDP.

Good screen caps.

[WillyT]

4. See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,

That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.
And I for winking at your discords too
Have lost a brace of kinsmen,
All are punish'd, all are punish'd.

Yep...

:shrug:

[villager]

5. "All are punish'd," indeed, WillyT!

2. It's not GD-P that's the farce....

It's the media and the pollsters.

6. I'm sorry that somehow my thread has turned into the racist freak show :(

Not my fault! :(

[JVS]

7. It's astounding. You make a picture that could be funny for both sides and this happens.

[Quixote1818]

12. Exactly! It was a great OP. nt

[TwilightGardener]

8. We know, dear. Sorry this had to happen.

:hug:

[myrna minx]

9. It *isn't your fault*.

:hug:

[DerekJ]

10. Actually thanks ..

We need to weed out those racists out of the DU, and the whole Democratic Party.

[Binka]

11. Not Your Fault But This Is Gonna Get Locked

Buff just blew a racial gasket. Shame she was such a nice racist. :sarcasm:

[Quixote1818]

13. They should just delete everything Buff posted and let the OP go on. nt

[Tatiana]

30. Looks like that's what happened.

:toast: to the mods

[Quixote1818]

41. Wow! It's like I went from Kansas to Oz. nt

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Your post was the victim of a nasty train wreck

It's a shame too, it was a funny post before the debris landed all over it.

There was no way you could have seen this mess coming though.

[FloridaJudy]

17. No apologies necessary.

Not your fault that others chose your thread in which to vent their spleen. :hug:

[SaveOurDemocracy]

19. Wasn't you ... and that screen cap IS a riot...even same time.

:spray:

[akbacchus_BC]

You do not need to apologise. Someone had the audacity to post

racist crap. There are a lot of intelligent people on here who support Senator Clinton and am sure they will not agree with that poster. It is the poster's fault. I admire Senator Clinton's supporters who will call this out. Eventually, Dems have to unite to beat McCain unless America wants another 4 years of Bush.

27. Good God.

I swore off this place for a year and a half after the '06 Lieberman/DLC ruptures and came back only to find things awful in this primary season.

What set off that deleted thread was just...breathtakingly sad.

Damn. The things you find out. :(

[Tatiana]

29. It wasn't your fault. Your siggy is very funny!

:hug:

[sce56]

37. I did not see before the deletion but I suppose this is the avatar of the Fundy Slayer now!

[JoFerret]

43. You made an excellent point

loonies on all sides

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Okay, post number # 3 is definitely racist.

Uncalled for. :(

[Swamp Rat]

16. See post #3 and #109

:D

[SunsetDreams]

18. wow..just read the thread...

and if my eyes are telling me anything with the responses, I am really glad that person is on ignore.

You're right this place is a farce currently, due to some freeperlike posts.

[ruggerson]

20. Hey this was a funny OP

too bad the bigoted loon ran through the middle of it.

[americanstranger]

33. Did the loon get TS'd?

That's an action that's long overdue. That one averages at least one of those stinking posts a night.

[LowerManhattanite]

39. Nope, not yet...

Been on DU for quite a while. You have a longer leash with time put in.

But I think that poster shortened it considerably with that “Top of the world, ma!” flameout that got flushed.

God but I can't wait till primary season is over.

That said, one of the pieces of good news that got flushed with that sub-thread is that a main person—a main, ridiculously trollish person on my iggy list “bit the curb...finally.

Name rhymes with “Lay-wake”. :)

[americanstranger]

42. Wow. Takes a lot to get TS'd, I guess.

I mean, 'Lay-wake' (heh-heh) was annoying, but those few posts from that other poster were straight outta Stormfront.

I guess we can be comforted by the idea that those who like to push, usually end up pushing too far.

[TwilightGardener]

21. Honey, they shrunk the thread!

:rofl:

[TahitiNut]

22. Somebody must've hit "flush"

:evilgrin: Unfortunately, the big turd is still around. :puke:

[TwilightGardener]

24. That's a shame. Prob'ly not for long, though.

[dchill]

26. Aahhh... that's better.

Like a breath of fresh air.
:)

[akbacchus_BC]

25. Glad that happened, phew. n/t

[myrna minx]

23. Yay! Now, congratulations of a funny thread that BOTH camps should fine amusing.

:hi:

[SaveOurDemocracy]

28. Now that the distraction is gone ... K&R

:kick:

[madrchsod]

31. yup that`s gd:p.....

[madrchsod]

32. this went up to 109 posts?

[Political Heretic]

34. LOL yeah, massive, massive thread clean-up on Isle...erm...ALL of em!

:rofl:

[madrchsod]

35. dam i hate that when it happens

before i can read it!....god i love this site!

[FloridaJudy]

36. I'm no longer a drinking woman

But I'll buy the mod who cleaned that mess up the tipple of his or her choice, along with a gallon of disinfectant.

They left your original post up, so there still is some justice in this world.

[krispos42]

38. *snort* LOL

Oh, Lordy Lordy Lordy...

[orleans]

40. that's hysterical! (i was sent here from a link in the lounge btw) n/t

[theredpen]

44. Just a suggestion:

You may want to redact the posters' names in that image... DU rules and all.

Great image, though. :thumbsup:
