Sorry for the Vanity, folks, but I can't believe what I have just seen.
A minute ago, I visited a website called "Democratic Underground". I'd heard fellow FReepers mention it from time to time so I thought I'd take a look.
It's MOONBAT CENTRAL! What a mob of nutbags!!!
Are these clowns for real???
Have you taken a good look at THIS site lately? :-)
Don't be like that :)
Let's ask the expert...
Frankly, I am shocked. Shocked!
Not by what I read there, because that's pretty much to be expected. I am shocked that you've been here for two years and hadn't checked them out yet. ; )
Don't be talkin' 'bout me behind my back, Howlin. I don't take prisoners! :P
They are what happen when parents smoke crack while pregnant.
I've just called an ambulance!
Yup; they're real, all right - real moonbats. They attack Hillary for being too conservative, and think Westley Clark is the only possible dem presidential candidate for '08. They have hysterical crybaby attacks every time one of them accidentally reads an article on the strength of the economy or a success in the war on terror; think the media is in the pocket of the hard right-wing neocon Zionist cabal; and constantly adjust their tinfoil hats so they're not bombarded by radio waves from Mars or the Evil Karl Rove - same thing to them. They also revel in foul language and name calling, and see everything through the prism of Bush-is-Hitler and He-Stole-the-Election. It's like a train wreck - you want to look away but it's just so fascinatingly horrible. Just be sure to wash your hands after you visit over there.
At least there is a little less foul language at FR;)
They sadly are for real. I once created an account over there and posted the most absurd, off the wall comment that I could invent.
I blamed some healthcare issue in Bolivia on the United States and threw in all the key words: hegemony, homophobic, racist... you name it.
I then blamed it on Bush, Reagan, and Wal-Mart. I talked a bit about gulags and about how soon we would destroy the white majority and annihilate Christians.
And no one disagreed with me! I had multiple posts sharing my sentiments.
Yes, there are more insane, anti-American freaks over there than you could ever imagine. I'm still a big aghast by that experience; I couldn't have invented a crazier response.
The only time I ever visit DU is the day after Election Night when we've handed them their arses yet again after they had clung to the MSM's exit polling data like scripture verses, believing they had taken back the House or the Senate or the Presidency only to see *real* America, not rigged polls, beat them into submission and the slow agony they experience in realizing they've been let down again.
Reading that is a hoot. Any other day, it is just extremism and hatred on parade.
Except for immigration, FR is still pretty good while DU is bad all the time.
How long ago was that? Any chance it's still around?
I have to say, I really hope they're NOT for real. I hope the majority of the crazy posts there are just Freepers and conservatives having fun.
I fear that is not the case.
If I thought there was the slightest possibility that DU posters were representative of the U.S. electorate; I'd be in favour of making the U.S. a UN protectorate, until such time as it demonstrated a capacity for self-governance.
Yes they are for real. It's really depressing and sad place to enter--basically I stay out of there. Have you seen a person named "Zombie's" site? He chronicles people like
the DUmmies at San Francisco area rallies. Talk about eye opening:
