1. yeah I hear that
I'm not even going to respond to that other thread and give it a kick. For cryin' out loud.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

Looks like the GOp has its knives out still for Kerry, and they have extended their sights to Hillary, Boxer, Dean, Reid and Clark.

18. I think you're right about that diaper change.
The stench is overwhelming, isn't it?

5. I'm with you. I absolutely HATE them.
I don't see why people can't get a point accross without resorting to bashing, attacking, and flaming. And I detest the threads that are thrown out there for no reason other than to see a good dog fight.

I think we should expect people at a progressive message board to be a little more civilized than that. :rant:

9. I don't hate them
but obviously when I see a thread like that started by a troll it's an automatic add to ignore list, though they will probably be banned sooner or later but why wait.

This stays open:

This place is becoming a haven for racists and right wingers. Let them pay the fucking bills

17. Oh c'mon it's like Friday night wrestling
Everybody knows their roles. I'm just watching the bad acting. Which depending on your mood, is either enormously entertaining, or just bad acting.

22. You mean...
the person that started that thread wasn't joking? You mean, like hey, it was a serious thought? A real call to action?

And I thought I had a ringside seat to a march on JK's office. Darn.
