I think I really need a hug and a reality check.
Lots of talk on GD-P about HC comments about Robert Kennedy's assassination and Obama. I asked them to stop posting those things because I think there are people out there who will feed on it and decide that offing Obama is acceptable. I have been flamed and there are numerous threads started about this. I am really in shock that DU has become so abberrated. The Mods don't seem to see the danger here. I know I'm not crazy and that this is not good...

1. Raven. I saw that thread and I completely agree with you.
:hug:

And, I stayed out of it because if I replied to some of those who were flaming you, I'd get banned. It pissed me off.

2. I can't believe they're talking about it so lightly.
I think it says a lot about how jaded we are, as a society.

5. Agreed. I've seen stuff taken out of context there before but not like this
so I decided to completely stay away from this one (you know, the posts you type, look at, shake your head, and delete rather than send?)

8. And, seriously. How scary is that? The LOUNGE is the sanest place on DU.
Well, that and the vegan forum, but only Elad, flvegan, LeftyMom and ThomCat post there.

11. Oh Raven...
The one thing I have learned in the past 9 months is that people can, and will, say anything...

I don't think I am going over there today.
