Are We Not Better Than This?

[cali]

Look, I know folks get frustrated and want to vent, but when we have threads like this we're no better than freepers. I don't hew to the watch ourselves because the limbaugh types might quote us. I just hope as a community, we're better than this.

1. ah. We're just blowing off steam.

2. Free speech?

On both sides?

That coat hanger deal was a bit much. I don't like the extreme of either side of that coin. Not as bad as the Dem bashing I've read lately. But, yeah. Sorta tacky.

I wonder how many will show up. And I wonder if they can even get on the pier tomorrow. The beaches down there are all closed due to a sewage spill.

4. I'll buy that

possibility, but I suspect most of the posters are real DU members.

5. DU does not prohibit their membership.

Only their intelligence would prohibit that. If they are smart enough they can post any RW stuff they want without getting banned.

6. abortion's a really emotional issue . . . by design . . .

the Republicans have stoked and massaged the anti-abortion and anti-gay messages so well for so long that they ignite insanity whenever they are raised . . . as one can see from that thread . . .
