this guy here pokes fun at the alleged "groupthink" here at DU. he's supposed to be a funny guy and so he's replicated what he calls the "universal democratic underground thread".
here's an excerpt:
anytime there is breaking news, I think, "I wonder what the nuts are saying about this," and head straight for DU. It’s like a daily freak show. Yet, I've begun to tire of it, and I realized why. In the end, it's really just the same thing over and over. After careful analysis (two minutes thought), I think I broke down all the variance of opinion you'll ever see on DU and put into one imitated thread. They will often go on longer than this, but then it's a lot of the same posts being made over and over by other people.
Well, without further ado, here is the...
UNIVERSAL DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND THREAD

(Excerpt of article about military issue, political issue, man-made event, natural occurence, or... well... anything followed by link to entire article)
Looks suspicious to me.

1. Obvious ploy
It's obvious that Karl Rove is behind this. How this happened on (whatever the date is) is just too convenient in timing, especially considering that (Bush's poll number's are up/Bush's poll numbers are down/Bush's poll numbers are neutral/it's raining in Antigua).

2. Treat for Bush*
I bet Karl Rove is giving Chimpy a banana over this one.

3. LOL!
Though your humor was blunt and inept, I will praise you for it, Th!nkH3sFunny, and pretend I laughed since it goes along with my own prejudices.

4. Nothing we can do
This just make me feel so depressed. There is nothing Bush* and the neo-cons won't do to keep power and wage war. Remember, these are the same people who rigged an election, killed Carnahan and Wellstone, and stole my bong. They're going to steal the election again with the "liberal media" helping them all the way. Then they'll plunge the world into death and chaos and I'll never be able to get another bong.
