Ya, thank God he got that evil man Tommy Chong off the street!

Funny, I recently got banned again at DU.

I had a account going several months and built up a few hundred posts, when I dropped the ball.

My sin, on a thread celebrating the illness of Ashcroft, many DUers were dancing in the virtual aisles over his illness and wishing for his death.

There were lots of posts about his extremism, etc.

I asked, as politely as I could, "What exactly has Ashcroft done, since his nomination to deserve such hatred?". "Who's rights has he stepped on, who has been abused?"

The one and only response I got, before being banned, "What about Tommy Chong?"

(PL, I'm not comparing you to a DU'er, just remarking that the only sin notable by many against Ashcroft is the arrest of Tommy Chong.)

Its an emotional hatred against him that they have, not one based on reason and facts.

And the prosecution of Tommy Chong was wholly uncalled for. A waste of time, money, and resources. Just as was the recent raids in NC on "head shops".

I equate Tommy Chong and Martha Stewart...OK..have at it.

I was just on the message boards at DU, and they're wishing for his death! Some people have NO class.

Yeah, he's worse.

Hi TC Rider. Probably I am the only one who doesn't know this, but what is a DUer?

Thank you,
