Today's thread about DU:

"Funny Thing about Democratic Underground"
9-10-08 | Shenandoah
Posted on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 1:03:00 PM by Shenandoah

I was just over on the Democratic Underground site to see what they might be saying about Sarah Paulin, and I noticed something very peculiar about the people who post there - they don't post complete thoughts. I went through thread after thread, and they were all alike. I had logged on there hoping to read some provocative commentary and to get a feel for what hard-core leftists are thinking, but I couldn't find any posts of any substance - no insightful or well-thought out comments. For the most part, people there just type a little blurb in the heading of their post, but don't follow up with any written statements. If you're lucky, you might find a smiley face or a LOL in the body of their posts, but not much more. Why does the term shallow come to mind?


The kicker - the OP spelled PALIN wrong! :rofl:

I actually wanted to watch them watching us:

Did you see the hoopla that some big piece of Mccain scandal was going to break today ? Something about prescription drugs and the Washington Post.

6. Am I a "hard-core leftist"?
Because, up 'til now, I've only been a hard-core porn star.

It would be nice to multi-task.

Apparently they don't "get" that we are making fun of ourselves in those threads. Which makes them so much funnier.

22. “Where are all the comments?!?!”
I know exactly what you mean. It was to the point where I thought I wasn’t logged in properly — I kept saying “Where are all the comments?!?!” — then I realized, it was just pages of one-liners, and the same one-liners over and over again. DUmmies like the smell of their own farts, I guess.

And a bonus howler:

23. I signed up for Freeper Creepers ...
I made two factual comments and my posting privilege was revoked.

Low tolerance for the truth over there.

27. The great protectors of freedom read every single post before letting it go online.
Truth is scary and might hurt the little freepers.

24. It's the nuance thing. Repugs have trouble following it.
We must speak slowly and in full sentences.
