1. You beat me to the post, I mean punch!

:snicker:

[npincus]

3. tee hee! We've got to set them straight about our name!

[htuttle]

2. I think it was Christy Harvey who mentioned it

[Liberal In Texas]

10. You are correct, it was Christy. Frankin needs to make a CORRECTION !

:-)
LOL

17. Write him and tell him —

(but spell his name right, it's FRANKEN, not Frankin) and then they'll do a segment with "Boring Corrections" and the great music they use behind it.

4. Well, actually, we ARE Democracy Underground :)

:)

[garybeck]

6. no we're not

check the rules, this website supports the democratic party. you are not allowed to post things about the Green Party, etc, if it could affect the Democratic party.

if we were the Democracy Underground, we would be able to discuss and express support for all parties.

I am not being critical of the policy, just making it known.

16. Ah...I've been seeing lots of criticism of the Dems here. It's not

just a rah rah site.

[Katherine Brengle]

22. The DLC yes, but try calling down the Dems in general--it's a major

no-no!

:shrug:

11. It was a TEAM effort...

JohnnyCougar noticed the article changed.

I :blush: then searched Google News' cache and verified it was edited.

Many, Many folks here then sent the word far and wide.

Then late yesterday, HsiKang (in what has to be the Best First Post Ever) posted the screenshot.

18. you are all so brilliant

I fell in love with DU long ago, it took awhile for me to join because I thought all of you were rocket scientist, the subjects you would cover...it is the only site to stay truly informed:)

[kimpossible]

7. yay!

Good to know that Al checks a reliable source.

:rofl:

[garybeck]

8. Al Franken is a big fat idiot

As long as he continues to ignore the electronic voting machine issue, I consider him to be much less of a "smart guy" than he makes himself out to be. the fact speak for themselves, although he chooses to look the other way. Not very objective, or smart.

[Janice325]

13. garybeck, I respectfully disagree about Al Franken.

I hope Al does run (and win!:)) against Norm Coleman for the US Senate seat in Minnesota. (Great, now I've given myself visions of Senator Stuart Smalley. lol)

[garybeck]

19. I hope he wins too, i'm just saying

that his complete failure to recognize the problems with electronic voting systems, and the mountain of evidence that 2004 was a stolen election, shows some kind of a character flaw. and it is very disappointing that he refuses to inform his listeners about this subject which is clearly the most important subject there is. If our votes don't count, what does? How do we change things in washington when the republicans are using the voting machines to steal elections?

hopefully he will wake up and look at the facts. it's not a complicated issue. I think more than likely he's afraid of looking like a conspiracy theorist. But this also, would be a character flaw in my mind. Do what's right. Don't worry about what people think.

He's either not as objective as he says, or he's worried about his image more than he says.

[Freddie Stubbs]

9. At least he didn't called it Democrat Underground

[NYCGirl]

15. It was Christy Harvey who mentioned DU, BTW.

She's the director for strategic communications at The Center for American Progress.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Yay!

[mmonk]

14. Way to go Al

or Christy.
