You’re assuming the DU’er had a mind to begin with, which they don’t.
My two cents.
Well, DU seems to be crawling with examples of the idiots that we’re fed up with. :)
Thank you for your service to your country...entering DU is like running across no-man’s land...i don’t have the stomach for it.
People with no minds at all just sit there quietly. The lights are on but nobody's home. Nothing quiet about DU people foaming at the mouth, barking at the moon, and flailing wildly in demonic-possession like seizures.
In the present case, the media-left continuum will have to blame anybody but themselves for what is shaping up to be a monumental defeat: Diebold, Halliburton, Cheney, Rove, or, in some cases, lizard aliens from the 4th dimension. All will have a constituency supporting their culpability for the rejection of the messiah.

Completely wrong.
I do not for a second think they are stupid, they are just evil.

Touché
I venture over to DU and DK from time to time. I never agree with their perspective, but I can’t resist. I like to keep in mind what our political rivals are saying.
It’s easy to be amazed at the craziness/nastiness/stupidity of the postings at that site. But those people are not at the bottom of the fetid fever swamp that is leftism. A lot of the people who vote for Dem candidates are worse. People who are more interested in illegal drugs, nasty music and illicit sex than discussions about important things. They’re never on the ‘net. It’s why the left has never been able to get high ratings for a talk show Jabber Maven of their own. Their “base” voters (in both senses of the word) wouldn’t know a heuristic if it bit them...
Me too. In order to learn the enemy, you must find out how one thinks.
Unfortunately, DU posters CANT THINK, CANT COMPREHEND, CANT analyze with intelligence and CANT use logic.
I’ve only wandered over to the DU once, out of curiosity, and I was stunned by the swearing and blasphemies that they post over there. Every other word seems to be the F-bomb or the S-bomb.
Now understand, I am no stranger to “Pirate Language” — I am fluent in English and French-Canadian swears. So the occasional Oath — used in an appropriate forum at an appropriate time and place — sits OK with me.
Even so, the DU tolerates and unbelievable level of gratuitous sewer-mouth language.
I felt like I had to go get a shower after my brief sojourn at DU, such was the filth.
That told me everything I ever needed to know about the DU.
And of course, they have a million and one excuses as to why their fake messiah has recanted on several issues that were very important to them. “It's his brilliant plan”....”He losing to win”, etc....
Good observation. It suits their victomhood premise; in order to be a victim, there must be someone to blame— someone else, that is.
Fantastic summation!
Those French-Canadian ones are a hoot, aren't they? I guess you can use all the sexual and excretory language you want, and nobody but old ladies bats an eye. If you want to be really offensive you have to mention the Eucharistic altar vessels.
I only enter DU wrapped in the protective coating of PJ Comix.
Congratulations !!! You have just figured out one of the great mysteries of the universe . Take two “aataboys” & a “well done” out of petty cash.
