Hey DUers you are number one, aren't you proud?

[proud2BlibKansan]

I just took a tour of the major right and left wing websites. And guess which one has the most John Edwards affair threads on their front page?

Here, in the spirit of the season, is a gold medal. maybe a photoshopper can print on it

"WE'RE NUMBER ONE IN JOHN EDWARDS HAD AN AFFAIR THREADS"

[SharonRB]

1. Are you surprised?

I'm not.

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Actually I was surprised

I got home not long ago and was listening to our local rw radio gal in the car and of course she was going off on this. So I got online expecting some OTHER news and I was blasted with about a gazillion Edwards threads. So that led me to do a little investigating.

On another subject, did you see this? DUer galloglas was arrested for voting http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3758513&mesg_id=3758513

17. I'm surprised. I had no idea how santimonious and self rightous

so many DUers are. They sound exactly like Rush and the gang during the Lewinsky scandal. I won't judge Edwards; that's his families business, not mine. And as far as the MSM goes; why aren't McCain's failings front page news? He's running for President, not Edwards.

Galloglas' story isn't entirely news to me. Something similar happened to a friend here in Florida in 2000. They keep getting away with it. THAT'S what we should be focusing on.

[Joe Fields]

29. I think it is mostly surprise and disappointment that many here feel.

There are so many threads simply because he had more ardent supporters here than anywhere else.

[SharonRB]

42. I heard him on Hartmann yesterday

and then I heard the woman from the elections board (or whatever it was) on today.

[underseasurveyor]

14. I' m surprised

[Muttocracy]

2. Which of the sites have the most people who donated to his campaign? nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. That would take a little more investigation

I'll get back to you on that. LOL

[JNelson6563]

3. The only thing of value here anymore is

LBN.

GD has only the very rare thread that's actually got substance in it. So many attention whores and those who seem to be aspiring to write for tabloids.

[TornadoTN]

12. You're still here

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

But seriously, this isn't a new occurrence around here. A lot of people are awash with emotion about this Edwards deal - me being one of them because I respected the man so much.

[renie408]

15. Yup. People are going to vent. And it makes sense that they would vent

more here than other places. Edwards got a lot of support here.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. It's always more bizarre here during election season

[ColbertWatcher]

5. I wouldn't know: I've been "hiding" them as soon as they pop up! n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. I learn more and more from you all the time

You know, I don't believe I have ever hidden a thread in all the years I have been here.

I guess I will allow you to be my role model and will start doing that now.

Thanks, friend! :hug:

[ColbertWatcher]

16. Personally, I prefer hiding threads to blocking people. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. During the primary season, no one had a longer ignore list than I did

And when we had a candidate and I decided to purge my list, it was amazing how many of those on my list had been TS'ed.

That means I am smart, right? :)

[ColbertWatcher]

19. I believe you're not only smart, but you're also qualified to be president...

...and crash a few planes along the way too!

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. You just earned a seat on my cabinet

LOL

[ColbertWatcher]

22. Woo-hoo! I'm going straight to the airport bathroom to celebrate! n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Keep that stance wide!

:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

27. O . . . . . . . . . . . . K! n/t

[zeemike]

6. How many of them have 125,000 registered users? n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Several have more

[frog92969]

7. I noticed all those threads

Is there something important about it that I failed to grasp?

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. I'm not clear on that myself

[Canuckistanian]

21. I'd like to think I contributed a little.....

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. You said it

Get a grip people.

[jillan]

23. My conversation with a rw in my life -

"So what's the big deal? Alot of people in power have affairs."

Me - Then why were you guys so upset about Clinton?

Him - because he was President at the time and did it in the Oval Office.
Edwards is a good looking guy and I'm not surprised.



There ya go. The Dems are more upset about it than they are.

[girl gone mad]

25. This is a political site.

We are going to talk about political news.

This is huge political news.

If you don't like it, don't hang out on a political message board.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. Yes it is huge but DU is making it even huger

LOL is that even a word?

[girl gone mad]

43. I don't think we are..

this has been going around the blogs for at least a week now. It was going to be a big story regardless of the reaction here.

[bullwinkle428]

26. It's so sweet - we're having our own Outrage Olympics on the same

night as the Opening Ceremonies of the "real" Olympic$!

I'M MORE OUTRAGED THAN YOU!!

FUCK YOU, YOU SONOFABITCH!! NO ONE MATCHES MY PERSONAL LEVEL OF OUTRAGE!!!

[babylonsister]

28. Link? I'm not surprised. But that's DU. This is a reaction place,

especially when a Dem is involved. It will get better.

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Can't link

Hey is that a trick question? You know we can't link to all those sites!! Are you trying to get me in trouble!?!?!

And I thought we were friends. :cry:

[Occam Bandage]

30. We're probably also number one in John Edwards fans feeling bitten by a politician

who turned out to be as bad as the rest.

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. Probably so.

[AllentownJake]

35. Unlike the Freepers

We can criticise

[EFerrari]

36. A lot of you sound exactly like the freepers.

Good grief.

I thought it was the freepers' thing to fantasize about other peoples' genitals.

[AllentownJake]

37. I don't care about the affair

I care about the irresponsibility of launching a Presidential campaign with it when he had a decent shot of becoming the nominee.

I understand the population we are dealing with. This would have been bad.

[bridgit]

38. Myopia, it's what's for dinner

[bridgit]

39. Myopia, the other white meat

[bridgit]

40. Myopia, don't leave home without it

[The Straight Story]

41. Does that include this thread?

:)

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. Of course it does

[Wednesdays]

45. Who needs Fox News when you have DU?

:banghead:
