Thought DUers might be interested in this...
just saw this on the Texas Hill Country site ...not my cup of tea but was led there by a friend who knows how strongly I support Senator Obama and thought I might be interested in this piece of s**t because she knows I love DU...I do not post often but I certainly do "hang out".... this blogger is defaming DU..and attacking one of the DUers....

"mamma k, on July 29th, 2008 at 1:32 am Said:
I thought you might be interested in knowing that, over at Democratic Underground, they’re calling you dreadful names like racist just because you don’t agree with them, and some person named NEWMAJORITY is advocating hacking your website.

Here’s that link.

Real classy. Guess that’s the CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN right there!"

link to the THC site: http://texashillblog.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/maybe-this-is-why-the-terrorists-endorse-obama/

Being new here, I am not sure this is proper so if you are going to flame me - go right ahead!

1. Thanks. I'm glad you shared, and you haven't called anyone
out. Maybe this impacts me because I live in TX. :shrug: And how 'bout that Keith guy who changed allegiance?

I also have to get used to that. :wow:

2. I've only seen what they post there when someone
writes about it here. They seem to not like DU at ALL.

We'll survive. :7

6. The only flaming of you I'd do is for the choice of name you made.
:-)

We went through this earlier with the thread you reference. Some folks want to know that somebody somewhere doesn't like something. Others say ignore the guy.

I'm in the ignore camp.

Welcome to the circus. :hi:

9. Name comes from one...
of my grandchildren's favorite cartoons. :) I can ignore many things....it becomes easier as one gets older....but attacking DU or the bloggers here is not one of them. These kinds of people make me puke! :puke:

11. That's a good reason to use the name then.

I grew up watching Scooby Doo, and got old enough to get annoyed just as Scrappy came on to the scene.

Anybody who honestly believes that a vote for McCain is a vote that will lead to a better running government is insane. Or really damn rich.

So they have a choice. Vote for the nominee, or vote against everything they supposedly stand for.

We'll see in a few months which way it breaks.

10. Is it me?

I just can't figure out what the interest or the fuss is.

Seems like they have a nice little site, and have a hobby of some sort.

They don't represent a homogenous group, they each have a different reason for joining.

In the end most of them are still going to do the right thing - the crazies that spout fondness for McCain are, well embarassing.

12. I see nothing!
Didn't even visit, because I know who I support. At this late date, after the primaries, bring it on!
I like reading differing opinions depending on who they come from.
But I always cherish my own, especially now.

16. You are not new
you know exactly what you're doing providing link to that website
is all about generating traffic to something that assiduous,
that asinine was here causing all sort of distraction and
division and was allowed to stay longer than he should have.

This is the second such thread I've seen on this subject, which
tells me that there is a collective effort from his sympathizers
to continue his destructive method, otherwise folks would not be
linking to his website.
