A visit to DU confirms your theory.
I just went there and took a look at their thread. Liberals brag that they are more intelligent than most, but when one of their members actually attempts to say something factual that goes against the emotional aspect, they turn on him like a pack of dogs. I had to laugh when one was accusing the other of being "paid" to post there by Zimmerman's family.
