Never, ever has DU been as cruel to the Bush daughters as the FReepers have been to Chelsea, and today just puts an exclamation point on that FACT. Here's one of 'em, not nearly the worst:

There's some nasty stuff going back and forth here at any given time, but this just shows we are pikers compared to the FReeper fascists, and their mentor who has made them what they are today, the Walking Pilodinal Cyst and King of the Chickenhawks:

1. Well....just because the Freepers are like that towards Chelsea, doesn't mean that
we have to exhibit the same behavior towards the Bush twins.

In fact, it's precisely because of how Chelsea has been treated by the right, that we should want to set an example and say "we are above this."

4. My point is that we have never stooped to the "same behavior"
We've taken shots, all right, but if you visit the link, you will see what I mean.

Extraordinary. Mean-spirited doesn't even begin to describe it. Pathological fails to come close. Dittohead approaches it, but even that doesn't begin to describe it.

Haven't seen anything like since Ann the Man wrote about the 9/11 widows "enjoying" their husbands' deaths. Same kind of hatred.

2. Ridiculous post, faygokid.
As if quoting someone else makes it "all right" for an intelligent person to make scummy remarks.

If you take your cues on cruelty from scum like Freepers, you've sunk too low. The comments on DU should stand (or not stand) for themselves, and I think some of the comments here on the president's daughters are horrible.

5. Well, the Redskins suck, too.
Guess I better clear my posts with you from now on, robcon.

Not likely.

6. Sorry, if you had the impression that no one would respond to your idiocy, faygokid.
Edited on Sat Dec-08-07 07:12 PM by robcon
If you thought no one would react to your attempt to lower the threshold of acceptable remarks on DU, you were mistaken. I don't want you to "clear your remarks" with me, but don't expect your stupidity to go unchallenged. Maybe you should post on Freeperland as well as on DU, since you seem to have an affinity for their gutter attacks.

Learn to read, you dunderhead.

14. Excusing awful remarks on DU, because Freepers are worse, is illogical
Edited on Sat Dec-08-07 08:24 PM by robcon
and stupid. You suggested it was ok to post that way because Freepers are worse.

Trapped by your own words.

19. I must admit
you guys are killing me with this back and forth. :rofl:

and the Redskins do suck -- it hurts me to admit that, as I'm their biggest fan.

22. I guess it is preferable to just disrespect DUers than political pundits
And yes the Bush* twins took on that role during the last election. They are not just innocent children..

20. I think what your president is doing to the world
and this country is bloody well awful and horrible. Much worse than any comments made on this board about Jenna and not-jenna.

However, play nice-nice all you like.

3. Well
if they were wrong to do so, then wouldn't it be wrong for us to do it back?

8. Patrice, I feel the same way.
Democrats aren't Freepers.

We sure as hell shouldn't act like them.

9. That kind of thing is dis-empowering. Focusing on Issues is empowering.
I don't like them either, or at least what I know of them. I feel plenty of anger and resentment for what is happening to this land. But, what's more important, counting coup and revenge? or solutions?

Eyes on the prize!

I like to focus on solutions.

15. And that's exactly why we lose so much
The Bush twins' behavior is very much deserving of ridicule.

21. I disagree.
Edited on Sun Dec-09-07 10:02 AM by Kajsa
Electronic voting machines, election fraud and an insane
decision by the Supreme Court in 2000 are the main reasons
we lose elections.

Jenna's work for UNICEF is nothing to ridicule.

My beef is with their father.

16. Two Wrongs Don't Make A "Right" -

17. I won't bash the children of politicians
No matter whether they love their parents or angry with them. Being a politician is not something I feel I would be any good at doing. Anyone who has the courage to put themselves under our modern day microscopes at least has my respect whether I agree with them or not. I believe Ad hominem arguments do more damage to the attacker (in my eyes) than in the target. Even if they are very persuasive and true, such tactics denigrate the caster (at least in my eyes).

18. The worst lie they could ever make up about Chelsea
Wouldn't hold a candle to merely telling the truth about Bush's demon spawn. So we don't have to go down that road at all.
