Well, I held my breath and ventured over to DU just to see what was up. They have a featured forum on the CA election and this is the statement that greeted me there:

Democratic Underground does not exist to to provide a platform for our political opponents or their supporters, especially this close to an election. If our members want to listen to Republican spin, they can turn on the television. But they don't expect to see it on this message board.

If you support this ridiculous power-grab against the democratically elected Governor of California, then you should do all of us a favor and keep that particular opinion to yourself.

Even if you swear that you're going to vote against the recall, we still have no interest in hearing how you "admire" our opponents or how you feel "ashamed" about attacks against them.

The moderators have the authority to keep DU free from right-wing spin this close to an election.

The crybabies can't stand bad news. Ambrose here is trying to avoid overconfidence on our part cause its his experience the Rats cheat to win.

So if you're a Democrat that thinks Davis is a scumbag but supports the election of Bustamante, the DUh-ers will ban for for being a right-winger?

That was a courageous thing to do. I hope you did not contract any social diseases while you were over there.

I was a covert operative posting over at DU for awhile. I slipped when I posted an article with facts supporting WMD. Facts are not allowed and I was banned for life.

Well, one of my email addy's was banned. Hehehhe

Oh how the bitterness of defeat can sting. Remember NJ....

Not to mention anything resembling facts of any kind.

Translation: "1) No fair confusing us with facts, 2) reasonable people unwelcome, only the rabid need apply."

Incredible.

And far more Nazi-like than those whom they accuse.

Geeze, "Hate them or be gone!"

No surprise coming from that sewer.
