Just for the heck of it, I went to DU (I know, I know) and joined up. I tried to engage in a few discussions. I mean actual, real discussions. You know, like:
DUmmie: Bush Lied!!!
Me: About what, exactly?
DUmmie: He lied!! He lied!! He said Saddam had WMD and he didn't.
Me: He had chemical weapons. He used them on the Kurds.
DUmmie: And WE'RE THE ONES WHO SOLD THEM TO HIM!! MURDERER!!! IDIOT!!!
*ZOT*
And all my posts were deleted lest anyone actually read them and be tempted to think. That's how it goes in La-La land.
Actually, I went wondering if I'd spent too much time at Free Republic, and maybe I wasn't hearing the other side of the story. Well... I heard it.
And that's my summary.
I've made over 500 posts on that site, mostly bashing them, but the funny thing is they never get it. I'm very sneaky with what I post, and I haven't got caught yet.
And yeah, if you don't hate Bush on every issue you will get tombstoned (as they call it). I've seen people that have been lifelong Democrats disagree with them on an issue get banned, some are even donors. They all follow in 100% unison and anyone who doesn't gets banned.
I hope you washed your hands.
You were just asking for trouble. Rats gota eat, let them eat their own.
... and brushed your teeth.
I signed up once and tried your experiment. I think I lasted about three posts, and I was trying to not be provocative. If you even think about setting your toe outside their intellectual reservation, you get zotted. Toleraqnce and open-mindedness my a$$. They are the most totalitarian bunch of thought police I know of.
Wash her hands? She needs to go to the decontamination shower. And I hope she had her special DU suit on while over there.
Kinda like demon-possessed pigs going over a cliff, huh?
Somebody from DU is or will be reading your post here. Count on it.
Scares the hell out of me and I come back home.
30 minutes to me sounds like a lifetime.
I got zotted off DU for saying that global warming was nothing except pork for scientists and politicians.
Go figure...
These people are either stupid, or just plain liars. They all have to know that all members of congress saw the very same intelligence the President saw about Iraq, and they voted for this war. The President did not lie, but they sure are lying.
You lay down with pigs you come up smelling like them.
The site owner needs the idiots, no dissenting opinions allowed, lest he lose them.
That is why they only have 1,000 active users.
Pity... We argue over here all the time.
Actually trying to TALK to liberals ... Good heavens, woman! What were you thinking???!!!
IB4TZ!!
FR/DU; there is no comparison.
