In a posting by the #1 idiot (David Allen - AKA Skinner) over at Dark Underworld, he advises his fellow kool-aid drinkers that they have had two inquiries by the Secret Service earlier today.
As someone who occasionally strolls by their web site for a few gut-busting laughs, I'm not suprised comments on their site would arouse the attention of the boys in black.
Here's a snip from his post to their members...In the five-plus years since Democratic Underground was started, we have had legal issues arise on a fairly regular basis (Not surprising). When that happens, we almost never make any sort of public comment about it.... But an issue (an issue?) has come up this week which we feel we should probably share with you (ya think?), because we think you should know what we are doing to protect your personal information. (This idiot is more concerned about protecting the privacy of his members, than the threats his members made on the President!)
... Fortunately the members of DU are generally level-headed (hardly) and respectful of the rules, so we have not had any problems with this issue in the past. (Then why all the legal problems?) But today we have had two separate inquiries from the Secret Service about posts on our website. (haha)
The inquiries involved three posts by two separate visitors (You mean Members) to our website. Incidentally, both of the people in question were banned last week (yeah, right) -- before we were aware that the Secret Service was looking into their postings. ..
The United States Secret Service has asked Democratic Underground to hand over any identifying or personal information we have about the two individuals in question.
It wasn't me, Doug, and NO, I don't wanna see my 'blast from the past!' It was wierd, though.............FRegards
ROVE U MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!!11
It was before the days of the famous WH chant in which the D.C. FReepers told Clinton to step away from the intern and come out with his pants up.
Geez, what did those agents do to get stuck with the job of keeping tabs on the DUmp? A total cluster-foxtrot performance in a training drill? Overheard insulting the boss? Caught in a compromising position with a VIP's teenaged daughter?
"Bill Clinton -- put down the cigar -- step away from the intern -- and come out with your pants up!"
bunch of losers if there ever was one.
I bet they have to pay huge bonuses to the Secret Service agents that get stuck having to read the drivel at DU. I know I'd charge them more to put up with that idiocy.
.......Why doesn't Dimmer put up the posts for discussion by the DU jury? ......
As I recall, A SS visit to a FReeper in the Clinton days was conducted pretty much as a live thread.
I remember the worries. But we never did go overboard like those DU nuts.
DU....mmies attracting the Secret Service. LOL
Bump
Lol, these are the mean ole freepers who rip you a new one one moment and are on their knees praying for you or a loved one when disaster hits the next.
that's just it, though. That post is a regular day for them, summed up in one nice, succint post.
Amazing! She advocates violence, then says she's not advocating violence because she doesn't own a gun. So if you only want somebody ELSE to kill somebody, that's not violence, as long as you don't do it yourself? Utterly insane, convoluted thinking. I hope the Secret Service pays her a "friendly" little visit.
I know what you mean. I used to stop in a few years back. I was interested in reading some well stated opposing points of view. Over time I concluded that the number of people writing cogent thoughtful posts (yes there are some) was so heavily outweighed by vitriolic tripe that I had to stop wasting my time. It is like wading through sewage to get to a good meal - by the time you reach it you have no appetite.
It's always the "+1000 posts" and "I Gave To DU" gold star types that post these calls for violence.
