Son, I understand what you are saying, but the people at DU aren't normal middle of the road Democrats. Very often they are loose cannons who wish to use violence. They are hard core socialist/communists, and more importantly they are hilarious. Go over there in a few weeks and read and you'll see what I mean.
You are right, everyone should check out DU. DU scares the hell out me. Not the swearing, or the threats to the Presidents life (no kidding, I've forwarded a couple to the FBI, they will regret their stupidity) but the complete barbarism and anger. They turn on each other like wounded, vicious animals on such terribly important things like Kerry going goose hunting (there are some DU hunters, who are luckily armed after the things the vegans were saying to them). They are a scarey, scarey vulgar group. I pity the democrats for claiming them as their own. Log on, and you will see.....
