Banned for Saying Nice Things About Sarah, Or: My Secret Life as a Daily Kos "Troll"
10/16/2008 | I Art Laughing

Posted on 10/16/2008 12:05:54 PM PDT by I Art Laughing

I admit it, I HAD an account at Daily Kos. I will lamely attempt to defend myself by saying that it was a personal social experiment to see how long I could keep from being banned while posting cogent and unbiased comments and diaries. What did I find out? What we probably all already knew, the nutroots don't have a sense of humor, they are the only ones with any compassion, and anyone that is not similarly (extremely) liberal is not just insensitive but EVVVVILLL!

I lasted a bit longer than obvious dissenters/sane people (know at DKos as trolls) because I actually AM a libertarian and would occasionally post something that would get a recomendation from a TU (a "Trusted User"). When I would post anything in defense of Alaska (where I am from) after seeing it predujudically called "Seward's Icebox" my comments quickly got HR'd (hidden, troll recommended). The site itself discourages the use of "HR" for salient non-troll disagreements, I actually quoted this Kos in one thread on this matter (it was just a quote from Kos the head man over there and nothing else) only to have it "HR'ed" immediatly. We all knew that DKos was not a place for rational people, now I for one know why.

What finally got me "autobanned" (HR'd into silence) was my defense of Trig Palin. It was a diary put up by a man who claimed his sister had "Down's Syndrome" (yeah, that's right not Down, Down's) and how he was disgusted by Sarah's use of Trig as a political prop. I pointed out that he was being predjudical and how did he know what the Palins felt about Down Syndrome in their son? If the diarist claimed that she was using Trig as a crass ploy to garner votes how was he any different when he brought up his sister and started casting dispersions on the Palins?

Bu-by Daily Kos it was fun getting to know how ridiculous you whackos really are. have fun in you whacked "reality".

Well we know they at KOS are not people that have their elevators going to all the floors. Or are 2 bricks short of a load. These people are what I call extreme haters and they are the same people that believe that 9-11-01 was an inside job and that George Bush should be impeached!

Congratulations. I got banned by the Kossucks a couple of weeks ago or so. First post, and then whacko!

They’re an absolutely humorless, vicious, hate-filled, mean-spirited intolerant bunch.

For a supposedly PC crowd they sure remind me of the Stalinist toadies who conducted the great purges.

Nice post.

I’m most impressed that you learned to post vanities in the chat forum where they belong. That seems to be a complete surprise to a long of FReepers that have been here a lot longer.

Welcome to FR!

I've gone in stealth mode on to DU a couple of times and had some fun. I got myself banned pretty quickly both times though because I couldn't stand to be in that toxic atmosphere for long, so I'd do something outlandish and get kicked out. :)

My sister has down’s syndrome and we bring her everywhere to this day and she loves it. We do EVERYTHING as a family. Even when she had knee surgery we still brought her to disneyworld in a wheelchair and she got to do a lot. Given the choice she’d rather be out with her family than home in a room with a sitter. Get that little baby out and used to the hustle bustle of life. It is so good for those kids. My sister is such a pistol today. We never treated her any differently. I admire Sarah Palin! It’s so much better to hav that baby out with you than home with a sitter. That’s probably what some liberal would do (if they hadn’t opted for an abortion that is). Go Sarah!!
