Whenever DU coomes up as a topic on F.R., (not that often) and I happen to see a link, I head over there to have a look around to check it out and see how the other side is living.

So I've been to that site probably a little better than a dozen times over the last 3 years, and each time I am BLOWN AWAY by the differences between F.R. and D.U.

From time to time. I do see stuff on F.R. that I don't approve of, -it's usually removed, -sometimes not. But the people that populate Democratic Underground are just rotten to the core... Post after post is hate, spite, lies, venom, malice and pure unbridled avarice.

When someone goes 'off' around here, other Freepers will calm them down or a mod will tell them to knock it off. -But bad behavior seems to be the order of the day over there.

I hate to be so simplistic, but it really does come down to Good Vs Evil. I am convinced of it.

I'm a proud Bush-bot and proud to be a Freeper. The posters of Democratic underground and the people behind it make me feel a little sad for Humanity. How could ANYONE be associated with that website and NOT realize that everything about it is anathema to decency, good taste and Honorable conduct?

I honestly don't get it... Are there "good" and decent" people that frequent DU on a regular basis? If so.. Aren't they repulsed by the slander, lies, swearing and personal attacking? "F" this "F" that?

I don't think there CAN be good and decent people on that site. -If there are, why do they roll in that muck?

Good post. Your analysis is right on the mark.

That's PRECISELY why they have to use the term "UNDERGROUND" in their title. The vileness, the hatred, the racism, the meanness, the UGLINESS that they display on a daily basis would NEVER be accepted in any open, or public, civil setting--online or otherwise.

Hence, the term "UNDERGROUND" is very fitting.
