How many of you check the DSM activist sites for current developments
on the DSM issue? I ask because it seems there are some folks who haven't been keeping up with these sites, yet they come here making accusations about one Dem or another in regard to DSM, simply to attack the Democrat they are working against and completely clueless to what is actually happening with DSM in DC in congress and in the senate.

To me, anyone truly interested in DSM as an issue would stay current on what's happening at sites like RawStory or afterdowningstreet. I know many here repost excerpts from those sites as often as possible at DU.


I just find it strange and annoying.

2. I check afterdowningstreet.org compulsively!
There do seem to be some pretty uninformed people hanging around DU. I don't know how people can come here and NOT get an education (besides Freepers).

3. And that is the REAL point of the question. WHY would anyone come here to
post insults at Democrats using the DSM issue as the reason for their current ire when they don't even know what the political developments have been on the story and that their ire has no basis in reality. They would KNOW that if they really cared about the issue and checked the sites or the threads here on the developing stories at those sites.

4. I know what the DSM "forum" is about, but I've been on the road
all day until now. What station is carrying it? I checked C-SPAN and C-SPAN 2, but saw House coverage and Senate coverage in their respective chambers. Is there a link for video stream over the internet?

get there easy?

8. That's true. But it wasn't the point of my post.
Your links are still appreciated.

10. Yeah, I know
It was a gentle nudge to maybe start thinking of posts like that in that light.
