A Helping Hand to Our DU Bothers and Sisiters
Is there a group that assist fellow DUers in our attempt to take back
our local newspaper forums from the freepers.

A local newspaper has the largest overall local viewership as compared to Blogs etc.
We are in the process of finally getting the upper hand and taking back our own
newspaper forum with the help of a few fellow DUers and I have to tell you its great.

We all know the tactics that Feepers use, Normally they gang up and silence the few
truth tellers but with their help we have overcome these tactics.

It’s just one idea that would make a huge impression not to mention the bound that
we DUers have for each other and the truth in these times of overwhelming hatred by the Right.

Anybody doing this now as a group ?

2. We have the same problem in San Francisco.
You wouldn't believe the RW hatred spewed all over their forums -- unless you frequent FR. I can't even read them.

3. Thanks for the input
This is something I personally thought important simply because of the fact
that nothing gets more consistent readers than a local newspaper forum.

As it stands now more and more local forums are being hijacked by these
irrational ditto heads who are allowed to put realism to the side and spout
verbatim whatever marching orders of the day may be. Due largely in part simply
because progressives,democrats and progressive independants seem to be afraid to
get down into the dirt and fight these Neo-Cons on thier own turf and by thier own
rules.

You would be surprised how easy they crumple when they are faced with a hard nosed
Liberal point of view that will not go quietly into the night.

I am surprised that San Francisco would allow itself to be hijacked in this manner,
this is too sad. But as I’ve said, We’ve managed for the most part to take back
our local forums and I've seen and know how many people who would never dare post a
progressive message before, now do it on a daily basis.

There is nothing like a good dose of consistant reality that sends these freeptards
running to their rat holes quicker.

I’ll try and keep this message out there and perhaps someday others will
find its importance at the same level as I do.

Thank a lot bro’s, Have a good one.:toast:
