I have had it with the tolerance of lies and dem-bashing on a forum,...
,...that supposedly advocates for dems and progressives and liberals.

I have torn my "democraticunderground.com" sticker off my car. I don't want to refer my fellow human advocates and friends to a place where personal attacks on people like Jane Fonda and Randi Rhodes are unleashed and RW LIES are allowed to stand.

I have no place in this space. :hug: to those who are tolerant and encouraging and passionate for unification,...we'll meet, I'm sure, elsewhere.

6. Just Me - you gonna let them beat you?
If you recognize their games and their efforts, then you need to just ignore their hate or bait them to attacking so that they are fed the granite cookie.

Don't give up - don't let them beat you?

Are you also going to move to another country?
DU belongs to you and the other true members of the democratic party. Don't like the repuke lights and the faux libs chase you off. Stay
and keep trying to make a difference.

:hug:

7. c'mon Just Me...
I rely on you and a few others to help me organize all the information in a clear understandable way.. Anyone can shoot in with quips and affirmations just the same as anyone can shoot in with attacks and crap..(I know that sometimes it seems like the latter outnumber the former.. but I'll bet empirically, it isn't that way)

No!

Did he quit after he lost all of his friends' money?

No!

Did he quit after he knocked that girl up!

No!

Did he quit after that DUI?

Did he quit after being arrested for drunken and disorderly conduct at a football game?

Absolutely not!

30. LOL! - Funny,
and so very, very droll.

And did he quit after failing to get elected a second time? Incontrovertibly not!

Has being nearly illiterate stopped him from reading "The Pet Goat" with young school children? Noper-doodle.

Did being caught in a lie about nukular weapons stop him from sending some older kids and adults off to die (and kill) for his macho reputation and Dick Cheney's wallet? Nega-tory.

He is an example for us all to follow. Never say die! Bring on the rapture!

13. It is rather odd when a thread about John McCain can expect more favorable
responses than a thread about Jane Fonda or Randi Rhodes...but hey..you calmed me down the other night and now it's my turn.

Keep your chin up..if we all leave, the terrorists win.

19. I hope you'll stay.
WE ALL NEED TO ALERT THE HELL OUT OF RW POSTS!!!
Progressives can be TOO tolerant sometimes. The other side NEVER is.

Anyway, I hope you stay. Your posts here would be very missed. :(

21. had a bad week, huh.
When in opposition, political parties brainstorm in the wilderness,
and this process is dynamic and can be rather heated.

That we're here, is a sign of the democratic party maturing as a big
tent party in an age of internet.

Perhaps you should try writing on the english free speech forum at
pravda.ru. It is not partisan there, we are all lumped in with the
american assholes unless we arn't.

Tolerance and goodwill becomes you. My democratic underground
bumper sticker is falling apart and looks a bit shredded.

Maybe all you need is an impeachbush.org bumper sticker and
a few nights of hot sex.

27. I hope you rethink leaving--a few threads do not comprise the whole of DU
There've been some trying days here for me as well, but things look different after you cool off a bit.

You don't leave until we say you leave.

29. Well I saw the thread you were refering to.
I agree about us needing to unite.Ive read thousands of threads on this board and from what and I can see,our agreement about what is wrong with this country if I were to put it in numbers stands at more than 9O percent IMO.The conflicts start when we start talking about the solutions and posters start flaming others who dont walk in lockstep.

Ok so the poster may have been totally off base about Rhandi Rhodes I dont know the facts but leaving isnt the answer.Countering what this poster said with facts of your own is the way to go.

In the past Ive heard some things said about some members of the press that I happen to know personally.Most of the time people say very nice things about them but once in a while some poster says something that is so off base Id like to slug them.But that doesnt mean Im going to stop posting here nor should you Just Me.Nor will I leave because of "holier than thou" posters.

Hope you will reconsider Just Me.You are a valuable contributor to DU and it would be ashame to see you go.Peace
