What does Cindy bashing do for you?

[JuniperLea]

Honestly, there is so much of it going on, I'd like to know how it flips your switch!

1. I think it makes people feel like less of a chickenhawk.

That's my personal opinion.

[JuniperLea]

3. I don't follow...

What, because she is giving up?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. I'm saying the only people that would attack her...

are the sort of morons that sit in their mother's basement, supporting the war from the comfort of a computer chair.

They're very insecure people, and feel better about themselves by attacking other people.

8. gotcha... agreed... n/t

[Zodiak]

2. it makes me hit my ignore button

That's how disgusted I am by it.

[JuniperLea]

4. Me too... and hide thread... n/t

6. Can someone name names? I want to know exactly who these sleezes are and

what they said. I proudly tell everyone that I'm a member here, and even have a "DU" bumpersticker on the top of the "A Vote For Bush is a Character Flaw" bumpersticker. I do not appreciate being dragged through the filth with all the other fine and good folks here by a couple of asinine blowhards who think they're the spokespeople for DU!

9. Would love to line up all the names...

would be easy enough because they were the cause of me using my ignore function for the first time... but it's against DU rules to call out other DUers.

Search "Sheehan" and you will no doubt find plenty of threads with plenty of bashing...

I agree with you, 100%.

10. Where's the "makes me ashamed to be a DUer" option?

because that's what it does for me.

[JuniperLea]

11. me too... so much so...

i had to edit the poll and add the option...

[Zodiak]

12. oh good....now I can vote n/t

[JuniperLea]

13. me too...

i couldn't even bring myself to vote in my own poll!

[smokey nj]

14. Thank you for updating the poll!

I almost voted "Oatmeal" by accident. :blush:

[Richard Steele]

15. Wow- thanks!

I like to feel like I'm helpful! :thumbsup:

[JuniperLea]

16. You were very helpful!

:toast:

17. Depends on what you define as "bashing".

Since Camp Casey, I have been a critic of many of Cindy's actions. I feel that she was a poor spokesperson for the anti-war side, and I thought many of her actions (especially as of late) only worked to marginalize the peace movement. I have never called her vulgar names, but on many occasions I could how some question her motives.

Does that qualify as bashing? I'm sure to many here who seem to have joined the Cindy cult of personality that it does. I personally see it as an open critique of a public figure.

18. That's a lot of voting there

but I can't find one that fits me.

I say she's tired, she should go home. She did what she could do. I don't see the big deal.
