Which forum spends the most time bashing Dems? DU or Free Republic?
Just wondering if anyone has done a comparative count.
I suspect DU would come out on top.

3. you should head over to FR for a while to get some perspective . . . . .
and to understand the difference in motivation between the criticism you see here and the tripe you see there. Folks on this board criticize the Democrats out of a desire to improve the party, not to kill it.

9. "Folks on this board criticize the Democrats out of a desire to improve the party, not to kill it."
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Somebody is not in Kansas anymore. So, those Democrats who claim they will never vote for the candidate they do not support or who will do and write anything they can to trash that person, say and accuse all manner of garbage against them are really trying to help the Democratic Party and make it better? Wow! I never looked at it that way. What patriots and party zealots!

16. Yup! All of those posters on DU:P are loyal Democrats
posting all that Republican and Right Wing crap/slime about a fellow Dem are
trying to improve the party! Tell me about it! :rofl:

In several polls over there 1/3 of those loyal Dems wouldn't vote for a fellow Dem in the GE if it wasn't their favorite candidate. Yeah! They are really improving our party! What a fairy tale! Upps! Was that a racist comment? :shrug: My bad!

4. The Clinton Campaign
Bashes Obama and praises McCain, and reaches far more people than either of those sites.

5. I spend no time at the FR, so I don't know. However, I can tell you that we're better at it.

6. Relax a bit.
I can fight with my brothers and still love them after. You can't fight with them at all.

8. They probably were just like this place when they had multiple Republicans to sink.
I'm sure they had their favorites, and all the ugly stuff in the world about each one.

Now they get to focus on the Democrats early, since their candidate has been chosen.

At some point, the Democrats will have an official candidate, and the real campaign begins.

10. DU right now
But that is how it always is. The repukes get their ammunition from the Dems attacks on each other during the primary. We should do the same thing to them, but we fail to lower ourselves to their level.

It is good practice for when the repukes do the attacking on the same grounds.

11. I checked out FR last week.
They seemed like a bunch of choirboys compared to us.
