DOW 10,000+ thread got copied on WSJ best of the web today! BUSTED!!

[INTELBYTES]

AS I noted when I read that post, the right wingers love this crap to advance their agenda. Us hoping bad things will happen in this Country does not make us look like the party anyone would want to vote for. Yesterday's thread which was titled "DOW 10000+" was racked off the G.D. and put on this website to bash us.

So who cares? Well if you don't your missing the point!! Who do you think we will win over like this?:grr:

1. Hey JAMES TARANTO ...kiss my ass!

[INTELBYTES]

2. He can kiss my ass too...

But is that our final answer?

[CatWoman]

3. He can kiss my entire big fat black ass

now post that in your rag.

[Bozola]

11. Ewwww!

You don't know who's asses he's been kissing.

[Code_Name_D]

4. Its a growing problem here.

And not just the economey eather. With Dean being the front runner now, the GD is not being flooded with anti-dean spam of the worst order.

The mods are going to have to crack down soon. I know a lot of us never wanted to see a replay of 2002 when there was a Green & nedigite dem post black out. But lets face it, the DU is being spammed, and a new blackout may be necisary, even before the primaries gets started.

15. The Dow-10000 thread was an anti-Dean?

:tinfoilhat::tinfoilhat::tinfoilhat:

[wuushew]

5. What does he mean by "unofficial" democraticunderground site?

when has anything that has been underground been official?

[NJCher]

7. how dare you point out such an egregious mistake

Elitist.


Cher

[LuminousX]

8. He means no official relationship with the Democratic party

[dweller]

6. Taranto?

"Would anyone be offended if we were to question Storm's patriotism?"

no James, that's par for the chickenhawk repuke's diatribe column, rock on dipshit.

9. Anyone can play that game. Have a Left-leaning paper lift a thread

from Free Republic and let America see why things are as screwed up and twisted as they are.

[redqueen]

10. AH ha hahahahahahah

This is effing hilarious. The right is TRULY desperate.

They're lucky, too. Imagine what one could post about "Republicans" if one were to cruise through the cesspool that is FreeRepublic.com?

LMAO!

They are truly scared, folks. Minor problem: frightened helpless animals when cornered tend to become vicious.

The best response to this is to contact a liberal publication and ask them if they wouldn't mind runnign a counter-ad... 'Best of the Web', only to slander Republicans instead of Democrats.

This is fantastic.

Tickled pink, I am.

[rumguy]

12. The truly ironic thing is that I felt that leftyandproud was

an undercover disrupter. The tone of his post was suspect. And he claimed we needed to find a way to take credit for the recovery. All through the thread he defended Bush and his propaganda every chance he got.

What a joke.

[Intelsucks]

14. I saw you in that thread

you tried to keep the idiocy at bay. The bottom line is that it makes DU look bad. I've seen Skinner get pretty jawed about things like this. I'm surprised that people don't care if everyone thinks they are mad that the economy is improving. It dosn't look good for DU at all.

[9215]

24. I wonder if Taranto is Leftynproud?

Just a thought.

[leftyandproud]

26. nope

I'm not a disruptor, but I do regret making that post now...I can't believe the WSJ morons picked it up.

[BeFree]

13. ""..hoping bad things will happen...""???

Where does it say 'we' hope bad things will happen?
Nowhere but in your headline.....

Taranto is angry at Dems. Hell, he hates Dems.
I don't know why you'd waste your time reading his crapolla.
One question about him: Why does he hate us Americans?

I thought the piece from Leftandproud(?) was cool. It wasn't very factual tho. 401Ks up 40% this year? I wish.

Out of all the good posts on DU, this one-sided plagarite, Tartano, can only find one post that he can twist to make fit into his lopsided column?
We're doing pretty good, don't you worry.

[bearfartinthewoods]

23. i don't know about your IRA but what passes for our 'portfolio' is up 40%

[MrPrax]

16. Maybe Skinner and the Crew should send them a bill

This is not the first time that DU fodder became copy for *sniff *sniff the Med-ahh and their brilliant crayonists...
I rem reading through that thread...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=881101&mesg_id=881101

Most of the rebuttle comments were pretty informed and disputed the poster's contentions...
Why didn't the WSJ quote some of that stuff...


'Supply-Side Journalism'

[rumguy]

17. Exactly

the only really lame post was leftyandprouds - who was a closet disruptor I believe - I wonder why INTELBYTES is dragging the DOW 10,0000 thread back up if he's so worried about it?

[grasswire]

18. maybe....

....Lefty and Proud is Taranto himself. Why should we think that a biased partisan hack like Taranto wouldn't plant posts so that he could write about them?

Typical gutterball politics, IMO.

[INTELBYTES]

20. What's your point rumguy?

I wonder what your motive is trying to suppress it. I make the valid point that I'm trying to keep our party from looking like a bunch of whackos. That kind of posting is a fringe element at best. And this kind of coverage doesn't help shed a positive light on the message we are trying to get out. That's the purpose of me reposting it.

I have to wonder what your up to suspect people who are trying to salvage our party. Are you the one who would encourage these threads hoping to disrupt our party further? hmmmmm???

:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

[INTELBYTES]

19. This kind of hoping that the sky will fall in will only....

...lead to more freepers. I'm sure skinner is going to have to spend another week weeding them out. Their isn't much "underground" to this forum any more if what we write gets splashed on the right wing media. Sure we can say screw em, but I think were just screwing ourselves.

[maggrwaggr]

27. We need to start copyrighting our posts

so they can't be ripped off. And if they get ripped off, well, we sue them.

Pretty simple.

21. If anyone clicks on the DU link

and reads more than the first post, they will see a different story. It would have been nice if the original poster could have followed DU rules for first posts in GD and left out F*CK.

Someone should start a rw blog expose' as well. I don't have the stomach for it.

[snoochie]

22. I think you're overreacting

Just my opinion, but it seems to me that you're letting the whores at the WSJ define the rules.

Democrats have to stop playing by their rules. The people that read that rag aren't going to vote Democratic no matter what. If they do, then you can rest assured they read other publications (unlike most of their readers, who probably think that the WSJ posting ads for Clinton 'body count' videos is 'fair journalism').

on edit: does anyone remember? Now that I think of it, I don't think they were paid to place ads for that crap... I think their editorial staff included references and ordering information in their ever-so-pravda-like 'editorials'. Can anyone confirm?

Just like other people said already, they'd be screaming foul if someone posted the crap that shows up on Lucianne.com or FreeRepublic.com DAILY -- and you must admit that comment was the sort a very small minority makes here at DU. (I haven't been here that long but from what I've seen, I mean.) For sure they wouldn't be on FreeRepublic saying 'we need to behave because the liberals are picking on us'.

[amazona]

25. hey...cool...

It seems to me that our discussions are being taken a little more seriously than in the past, and that's a good thing.

This is an unofficial site and quotes taken from the site are not proof of any official Democratic stand. So, not to hurt anyone's feelings, but it kinda sorta seems this writer is desperate to get a quote and couldn't find an "official" one that met his agenda.

Nothing to worry about, in my humble opinion.

[fishnfla]

28. I'm with you intelbytes

someone was blatantly cheerleading new unemployment figures over in LBN the other day and I called them on it. My post was deleted and I was put down.(On edit; my brother recently lost his job, I was pissed and used one deragatory word, yeah, I'm the heavy)
This stuff makes us look bad, IMO.
