Democratic Underground Forums Shut Down!!! Couldn't handle the load...

[HamiltonJay]

DU just shut down their discussion forums, claiming they couldn't handle the load.... I wonder if there was just to much dem bashing going on by their own members for that partisan freak running the place to take.

[fire and forget]

Ah, poor babies. Now what are they going to do?

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.

Boortz told all of his listeners to go over and check out all the hand-wringing and crying and lying. He read a post on the air where they claimed that the election of Sonny Perdue as Georgia governor was a sign that the state was full of racist rednecks!

Of course, you know where McAuliffe gets his talking points...

They may as well put up black bunting!!!![LOL]

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.

Just wait'll this afternoon when McAuliffe commits ritual seppuku on national television! [LOL]

I love this picture. It has served as my laptop wallpaper since the 2000 election. It's SSSOOOOOOOOO funny!

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

Now that is mean spirited!

I love it!

I'm holding a DU login for just the right time. Figure I'll get banned within 5 mins. So got to make it count.
