Wow, all these old threads bashing Obama are being kicked to the top of the board

[Debi]

:crazy:

I WONDER why that's happening?


:hi: Welcome back boycotters


:banghead:

[Mooney]

1. It's a coincidence!

[Debi]

12. Hmmmmmm

:rofl:

[L0oniX]

44. Uhm no ...it's April fools day

:evilgrin:

[DJ13]

2. K&R just to get even with them!

:patriot:

[Debi]

13. Woo Hoo

:woohoo:

[blogslut]

3. I wonder if it occured to them

that a grand return on April Fools day might not be such a good idea?

[AllentownJake]

4. They take after their leader

Strategy has never been her strong sort either lol.

[cbayer]

5. Some days I think I am gettting different pages than everyone else here.

So, I went through the first 20 GD-P OP's on the greatest page and this is what I saw:

1 Pro-Clinton piece
1 Anti-Obabma piece
3 pieces not related to any specific candidate (one from Skinner)
5 pro-Obama pieces
10 anit-Clinton pieces

Take a look at it for yourself. 50% of gd:p posts that make it to the greatest page are anti-clinton (based on my very small sample size and one snapshot in time)

[Awsi Dooger]

6. You're stuck in reality

That's exactly what I see.

My DU counting days were in late '03 and early '04, when Dean supporters were so paranoid of criticism they asserted he was being relentlessly bashed. So I took a few minutes each day and counted threads, in many forums and retreating at least 5 or 6 pages. Inevitably it was a pro-Dean avalanche but his supporters were hysterically blind to that.

Let me emphasize I liked Dean. I supported Edwards. But it was my first example of skewed perception on DU.

On edit: And BTW, this charge is hardly true, at least in my case. Yesterday I had something to add to a thread regarding Hillary supporters with their heads stuck in the sand. But the thread had settled to page 3, and since my intent was further examples of why I'm not particularly thrilled with Obama, I decided it was unnecessary piling on, and I did not submit the post.

[blogslut]

7. You do realize that Obama supporters

Out number Clinton supporters on DU. Right?

[joshcryer]

9. Yes. Obviously. It just shows that when a few Hillary supporters come around, the Obama...

...supporters go mad because their little haven is 'disrupted.'

[blogslut]

11. It's natural that you would see it that way.

Perhaps Obama supporters see something different. Perhaps we see that so many posts from Clinton supporters are inflammatory, hate-filled and quite often cite right wing sources to justify their positions.

Perhaps we "go mad" because you push our buttons.

Perhaps if Clinton supporters would play fair, the hostility would diminish.

[SeaLyons]

22. ...

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[blogslut]

27. Yes, fair play is hilarious

Care to address the point or would you rather just post smilies?

[JayFredMuggs]

18. More likely we sit around lauging at how silly those Hillary posts are!

[Zhade]

38. She IS pretty Sillary.

: )

[L0oniX]

42. and Hillarious

:evilgrin:

[cbayer]

10. I certainly do realize that.

I was responding to the OP which stated that there were a lot of threads bashing Obama being kicked to top. Seems to me to be a distorted view of what is really happening.

[Zhade]

37. Well, I sure hope so! I like the idea that those who oppose bald-faced liars...

...outnumber those who foolishly endorse proven lies.

[Cha]

8. I see nothing but Positive

Obama threads..but, then I've living in an alternate Universe of my own making with a lot of help from my friend the ignore feature. :)

[Debi]

16. You are very wise!

:think:

[Cha]

30. ..

Self preservation! :hi:

[GoneOffShore]

17. It certainly helps, doesn't it.

And my list just gets bigger everyday. Mostly members of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage and the various schisms.

Soon the only people I'll have left will be Will Pitt, Nance Greggs and Skinner and you.

I wonder what would happen if your ignore list got that big? Would the board go all wonky?

[Cha]

28. There's certainly no lack of threads :-)

Obama is the man! B-)

My logic is that the, as you put it, "Mostly members of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage and the various schisms"...have become over time(too long) inane, vicious distractions that aren't worth their cyber salt.

[GoneOffShore]

31. Not worth their cyber salt

I like it!! I like it a lot!!

[backscatter712]

23. The *plonk* is your friend.

I fail to see why I should waste my time or raise my blood pressure getting in electronic screaming matches.

[Cha]

29. Sometimes it was too irresistable

for me to fashion a snarky comeback and waste my time when I could be putting it to better use on an Obama thread.

[GoneOffShore]

32. I keep a few of them off the "Ignore"

for entertainment value.

Though a lot of them are like pet rocks - only dumber.

[Firespirit]

46. I must have the right people on ignore too

It's not even a very long list... kind of pathetic that so few people are responsible for so much crap.

[Buzz Clik]

14. I don't see them. I guess they're all on my hidden list.

:woohoo:

[Debi]

20. You're smart - I should follow your example

:hi:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

26. I don't see them either - and they're not hidden.

n/t

[JayFredMuggs]

15. Oh I know I know I Know why

It's the day for April Fools!!!

[GoneOffShore]

19. Ding, ding, ding

We have a winner!!!

[Debi]

21. Yep!

:bounce:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. It's their counter attack on the "Let it sink" manuever.

It's the "Night of the Living Dead" strategy, wherein they try to resurrect dead flamebait.

I don't think it's going to work any better here then it's working on their candidate of choice.

[The Night Owl]

33. LET IT SINK is the counter attack to LET IT SINK. {EOM}

[Ravy]

25. Probably a new LET IT RISE movement. nt.

[GoneOffShore]

34. I thought that was Bill's game

back in the 90's.

[Ravy]

35. Ah, I get it. The clenis jokes we have mocked for years have come back. nt

[GoneOffShore]

48. Steady on there-

Give me a straight line and I take advantage.

Besides, I didn't think you were talking about bread, were you?

Cause I can loaf along with the best of them.

And if you "need" me to I will.

[Ravy]

62. Sorry, I got a bit crusty.

Bun a hard day.... Rye don't we try to get along.

:toast:

[GoneOffShore]

70. I wasn't trying to be crumby

But I'm not going to butter you up.


:toast:

[The Straight Story]

36. Cause people are getting desperate now

and want to deflect from other things.

pretty sad really.

And haven't I seen you somewhere else on DU? Oh yeah...you were in GD once :)

[Debi]

40. I'm drawn to this forum like a moth to a flame

and yes...it burns....

[The Straight Story]

47. It is like political BDSM

"Thank you poster, may I have another!" :rofl:

[Debi]

53. Mmmmmmmm

Oh....sorry....I was day dreaming.....:blush:

[The Straight Story]

54. we need a forum for that here

ah the stories I could tell....

[Debi]

56. *snicker*

I think there's 'other' sites for that. :7

[The Straight Story]

58. really? Do tell :)

and can I post pics there ;)

[Debi]

63. The Google is your friend....

SOMEBODY posts pics (this is what happens when I google and Safe Search is turned off :wow:)

[RememberWellstone]

39. Bless his little heart

I hope Obama can handle the DU pressure. Oh my.

[Debi]

41. You concern is noted. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

43. Yes, the troll nastiness has returned full force.

Time to rev up the ignore list. Sigh...

[Debi]

45. Maybe they need to stage another boycott

PLEASE!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

50. I really do hope they consider it.

:thumbsup: :hi:

[quakerboy]

49. wow. coincidences abound. n/t

[travelingtypist]

51. 5th Rec, off to the Greatest with you.

This place is headache-inducing, the games pepole play.

[Debi]

57. Thank you very much n/t

[sniffa]

52. And some of them are kicking my Sniper thread

:woohoo:

[Debi]

55. You are a true patriot sniffa

:patriot:

[PresidentObama]

59. The same people who post in the "DUmp" at the His44-like forum are back.

[Debi]

64. Yep, and kicking old threads

:crazy:

Good use of their time.

[TK421]

60. Welcome back ignored, ostracized,outsiders, newb-DU wannabes!

you'll NEVER be part of the INNER CIRCLE.....NEVER! You could never be assimilated!






lower life-forms......YEEEAARGGGHHHHHH!!!!\

YOU HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE ALL DARKSIDED!!!@!@!@#GARGOYLES!!@!@ SLYKNICKS!!!!@#@!%

[Debi]

65. OMG

:wow:

[TK421]

67. You remember the God Warrior...right?

:rofl:

[Joe the Revelator]

61. You would think once I called them out of it, they would think of something more creative.

[Debi]

66. When I started seeing the old posts popping up I thought of your thread

If you have it bookmarked I'd love for you to link it here.

:hi:

[rox63]

68. HRC is out of cash - They can't afford new threads, so they have to reuse the old ones

:rofl:

[Debi]

69. Recycling is good

:thumbsup:
