1. He's just now figuring out that that's the innate type of personality drawn to rightwing politics?

Did you only notice this trait of Republicans when their party's star began to dim? Wonder why that would be?

are a bunch of pussies now does it? This especially applies to Obama. I don't think he has ever experienced being bullied! The most important lesson I've learned when dealing with bullies is to put it right back at them! And I know something about negotiations too and there comes a time when you have to realize you are trying to compromise with unreasonable people! And there is no reasoning with unreasonable people. All I've got to say is Barack better start pushing back hard or its game over for him as far as I am concerned! Ok I get it He's a real nice guy who wants to be fair and have a MUTUAL AGREEMENT! Now get over it and shut these assholes down!

6. Hey, jeggus. We don't use the p word here at DU. It is demeaning to women and perpetuates bigotry.

You might want to edit your post and just not use that word around here again.

And, how weird that you chose to use the word in the context of a discussion about bullying. Wow.

Knock it off.

Thanks in advance.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Nov 28, 2012, 07:26 PM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This would have been a no-brainer if the word "pussies" hadn't been used. I know there is a great debate on DU about misogyny and I am unsure what if anything has been decided. Since the term doesn't offend me in its use here (and I'm a woman), I see no reason to hide this message.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'm the language police. Here's my badge.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Well I think the poster said it best... "And there is no reasoning with unreasonable people." If you are gonna stay here at DU be reasonable and pick a better word next time.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm not happy with some of the language and the poster is obviously not very good at expressing himself. I'm going to give this newbie the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you.

It's that the people allegedly on our side want to do the same shit the "other" side does. It's not being a pussy, it's sharing political objectives. The only people that actually care about the people are the progressive caucus and a small handful of senators.

Why do you think the political center never moves to the left and always moves to the right?
