HELLO! Due to the massive influx of people this morning, we are experiencing serious problems with server overload. The forums were shut down at 11:00AM ET. Feel free to check back every half hour or so. But please don't hit the "refresh" button on your Web browser every 5 seconds, or we'll never come back online. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Everyone go there and hit refresh like crazy!!!!!!!

Neal Boortz was talking about this a little bit ago. He said they acted like they were ready to drink the kool- aid.

I suppose that even a forum like that on DU has some limits. They probably shut down because of the inane comments they were getting from their usual supporters. They surely must have been embarrassed. I have only been to the web site a couple of times and I noticed today that they were even wilder than they normally are. I realize that "normally" isn't a good word to associate with DU.

Darn. I'd been enjoying DU all morning.

From the comments, it looked as if substantially more than 50 percent of the "democratic underground" despises the Democrat Party as much as they hate their nemesis, "Shrub."

They are really in a tizzy, and can't understand why their America-hating creed - as well as gay rights, abortion-for-teens, and socialism - don't resonate with Americans.

Many DU'ers are getting drunk or popping Xanax right now.

That's OK. The disloyal oppositon is entitled to a day off for aromatherapy.

But just imagine, imagine, imagine . . . .

DU was down, so Sierra Tree Smith-Jones-Abernathy-Ferraro booked a heavy aromatherapy session. He/She arrived early and the sound of womyns singing Kumbaya drifted thru the lobby. Sierra had always liked that particularly diverse, world-music CD by Gathering Global Love. The "Save Gaia" poster on the walls lent a mellow ambience, helping Sierra relax a little from the crushing burden of the Nazi Republican victory the night before.

Suddenly, inspiration struck! "Hey, why doesn't medicare cover aromatherapy? Do you think we could win in 2004 on medicare coverage for aromatherapy? I'll email Cynthia McKinney and see what she thinks." Now that he had an action plan, Sierra felt better already. "I wonder if DU is back up," Sierra mused . . .

LOL. Too many Freepers Gloating obviously. We outnumber them about 10-1 at the least.

Maybe we need to send some counselors over there before a mass suicide occurs. There were not all that stable to begin with, this may just push them over the edge.

Gawd, I am loving it. Does this make me sadistic?

This just proves that a grassroots effort can still be effective not only on a local, but on a state and national level as well. I would like to thank all you guys (and gals)from all over for assisting in the liberation of our country.

DU is back up.

I know that Jim Rob is giving us a break today with these DU threads and I thank him for it, but let's remember, they are not the anti Free Republic. Jim asked us a long time ago not post from there. I agree with him. My guess is that it's because DU is mostly irrelevant and not newsworthy. Let's not give a minor website plenty of hits. It's what they want.

I started a thread about this early this morning, it got pulled in about 20secs. http://home.mindspring.com/~wsgilcrest/du.jpg

LOL.Couldn't hit my refresh button fast enough.

I love it. I like to see the liberals exercise self hate. Almost all the opinions on why they lost: they were not far enough to the left!! The Rats will litteraly snap in two after loosing the Presidency in a landslide, 9 Senators, 20 seats in the House and several Govenorships in 2004. The tail will turn sharply left and break from the main party.
