Is it best to just ignore them?

No.

Or do you perceive a benefit to increasing their readership by posting their venom on FR?

Yes. Since most of their increased readership is from fellow Freepers I see no harm in exposing the DU. Or are you somehow worried that some Freepers will actually get converted into leftwing liberal lunatics over there? Somehow I have a bit more faith in my fellow Freepers.

As long as it is freepers going to the DU website, that is the case. But once you post their crap here, their readership goes up several orders of magnitude, as FR has far more hits each day than DU. So by posting their stuff here, you're doing them a huge favor.

The difference in now and then is the media will not help Hillary and her gang spread the lies. They wouldn't dare report anything bad on the firemen they can't prove beyond a doubt. Even then they'd think twice about airing it.

Yes, I do the DU the tremendous favor of exposing their idiocy. In fact they were so happy over the favor I did for them last weekend that they REMOVED the thread on their forum that I linked to.

My you do get around, just never around to answering my challenges. Again all you are is a simple mind with lots of excuses. You truly seem to be easily amused.

(Adapted from .. Amateur Radio Direction Finding, page 4)

How do we deal with jammers?

There are 4 steps to dealing with jammers:

1. Ignore
2. Ignore
3. Ignore
4. When in doubt, refer to rules #1, #2, and #3.

The jammer feeds on attention. It wants to hide behind the anonymity of a computer. It is a vandal, a graffiti artist on the web. By denying or ruining the pleasure that others derive from using the web, the jammer makes up for the frustration and powerlessness that consume its everyday life. Above all, the jammer craves attention. IGNORE IT! IGNORE IT! IGNORE IT! The cruelest thing you can do to a jammer is to completely ignore its presence. Leave it scratching its head, wondering if its words are really interfering. In many cases, you can continue your conversation as though the jammer were not present. If not, end the conversation normally and resume it later.

Do not acknowledge the jammer in any way, shape, or form. Don't say "the idiots are out tonight". Don't say "Can the adults out there still here me?" Don't say "tinfoil brigade". Don't explain what you'd like to do to the jammer. Don't try to threaten it or reason with it. Again, IGNORE IT! IGNORE IT! IGNORE IT! Like any other untamed animal, the jammer will go where food and water (in this case, attention) are plentiful. Please don't feed the jammers!

Making them look silly to a larger audience is hardly a favor.

But I see your point, P.T Barnum was right.

I agree with your comment that the Democratic Underground is a pipsqueak Internet site that gets little traffic and little notice. I tend to think we gain little and they gain a lot, when their predicable, reality-free drivel is posted on Free Republic.

I do know, however, that there is a hard-core, ultra-liberal band of Clintoninstas who will defend the Dreadful Duo until the last dog dies. Such people eed to be attacked at every opportunity whenever they appear in any public forum, but I seriously question the wisdom of giving them a major forum by posting their articles. (I fully concur that such mental midgets should be welcome to post on Free Republic, and stand the flames as long as they can.)

Not do I sometimes post their idiocies over here but, more importantly, I LURK on their forums. Why? Partly for the laughs but MORE IMPORTANTLY I have picked up some intersting information from the DUmmies that they will wish I never knew. I won't go into detail on it now but I might let some of you know about it privately via Freepmail in a few weeks---But only if you behave.

To the elitist in Hillary's camp, saying he is a regular guy IS a smear.

We need to visit the DU scum, turn on the lights to make the cockroaches start running, and then spray each and every one of them with Raid. We have way too much filth and vermin in this country anymore.

Let the liberal whiners say what they want, all their doing is digging deeper graves. Their leaders are booed by REAL American hero's. Liberals are the laughing stock of the country. Let them rant, it shows just how un-American they have always been.

I agree - if I want to see some sh#t, I'll go to a bathroom. We already know DemocRATs hate firefighters, police, military, Republicans, etc. - it's not "news".

They are really going ballistic at the DU Forum over the firemen for "daring" to speak their views. Here is another reply (Reply #1) from ANOTHER THREAD on the DUmmy Forum:

Like it or not, she is New York's Senator! It was rude & disrespectful for anyone (Firman, policeman, anyone!) To boo her!!! These men & women ARE heroes, but they are begining to abuse their courage & use it for political gain & support! This is not the time or the cause to do that!

I agree with you, F*ck em!!! Do you realize that right now, Most the stories on Drudge report are no where else? Ya know why? Because its all pre-mature reporting! Would Matt print retractions or corrections to his News headlines? Hell no! He'd be spending All day doing it if so! If I see it on Drudge, I need to see it on atleast 2 other news sites before it has any hint of credibility!

Geez, according to one of the posts on that thread the crowd was really booing Macy Gray and not Hillary.

Yeah, and those four airplanes last month just went off course because of a navigational error.

On that note, I do think we should limit their exposure a bit.

So, DU is like anthrax?
