I've made over 500 posts on that site, mostly bashing them, but the funny thing is they never get it. I'm very sneaky with what I post, and I haven't got caught yet.
And yeah, if you don't hate Bush on every issue you will get tombstoned (as they call it). I've seen people that have been lifelong Democrats disagree with them on an issue get banned, some are even donors. They all follow in 100% unison and anyone who doesn't gets banned.
Kinda like demon-possessed pigs going over a cliff, huh?
That is why they only have 1,000 active users.
Yup, just like the show on "Animal Planet" on army ants. March, march , march!
They all follow in 100% unison and anyone who doesn't gets banned.
The Borg Collective?
Good point."They all follow in 100% unison and anyone who doesn't gets banned."There is no allowance for deviance from the party line.Same with marxism.It's partly intellectual immaturity.Some of the people at DU are really out of it.Really crude posts.
I made fun of them to their face for over a year before I got "tombstoned". I think when I said abortion is murder, they got a clue. It is a sick, vile place.
DU is a cult that isn't even worth poking fun at anymore. I leave that job to PJ-Comix at DUFU.
And yeah, if you don't hate democrats on every issue you will get zotted (as they call it). I've seen people that have been lifelong Republicans and conservatives disagree with them on an issue get banned, some are even donors. They all follow in 100% unison and anyone who doesn't gets banned.
I know someone who has made over 1000 posts there, mostly ironic extreme-left posts, with an occasional conservative idea thrown to see if the idea sticks. She has spoken in favor of the zero-tolerance, "thought police" tactics simply to hurt the left.
All working toward that common good! Perfect little commies.
Same experience here. I grew up in a die-hard Democratic family and neighborhood and I wanted to post something supporting US action on Iraq in 2003. I was 'tombstoned' real quick. And While the old neighborhood and aging family members aren't Republicans (yet) they sure are not blindly voting for the Dems anymore. Blue-collar patriots can only hold their noses for so long before they need oxygen.
Thats because they are "Party uber alles". They are one Duetschland, one party, one fuerhrer.
They call it "tolerance".
It's just part of living in Bizarro World, where everything is opposite of reality.
You know, I can understand if you're a democrat you won't like/support George Bush. I get that, I don't like/support democrats, but these people have gone stark raving insane.
You look at Joe Lieberman, here's a guy who's liberal credentials are unimpeachable except for one thing Iraq, and for that they are willing eager to throw him out.
They are insane.
