DU is popular?

[driftless]

Yes, DU is very popular...with lunatics, ignoramuses, and traitors. Good for a few laughs now and then, but too much time spent there makes one lose IQ points. Stupidity is contagious.

DU is popular?

Compared to other lefty sites such as Indymedia, yes. It's even 'popular' among FReepers in the sense that we give them a lot of hits.

DU is popular?

Comparatively so, at least. They do seem to be the biggest lefty discussion site in the US. However, to refer to it as "popular" in a general comparison to all web sites, as Sullivan has done here, is somewhat of a misnomer. They're just not a very big site at all.

It's a minor quibble, though.
