This is to those obsessed with Cynthia McKinney...

[devilgrrl]

please find something else to get riled over. For example, the environment, the illegal war in Iraq, the deficit, outsourcing, etc.... get the picture? There are more urgent matters at hand.

I can't believe the time wasted on that topic - Un-fucking-real!

1. The Republican game plan is "Our team, their team"

Get the little folk talking about personalities, not issues. Turn politics into Entertainment Television.

Nobody cares about health care, for example, when the talking heads choose instead to talk about Hillary Clinton, Cynthia McKinney, Jill Carroll, Teresa Heinz-Kerry, Cindy Sheehan and other women they are afraid of.

The state of political dialogue in this country is shameful.

4. Thank you!!

[hfojvt]

7. Tissues? Why should people care about tissues?

They're just flimsy pieces of paper full of snot! Who would c...

Oh, issues. Never mind.

Issues. That's another word for "nap time" right? :boring:

[mdmc]

2. I love her

now, help me save my church (click on sig line!) :D

[Minnesota Libra]

3. While I agree with what you're saying and the reasons I still fear.......

....the resulting flame war you may be subjected to. Good luck my friend.:pals:

[devilgrrl]

5. I no fear of flamewars...

as it is I that starts many of them, especially over insignificant issues such as the one at hand.

[400Years]

6. you are "wasting" time on it right now

McKinney is one of the best members of the House.
Why should we not support her?

[devilgrrl]

8. Excuse me. What did you say?

Don't you dare accuse me of "wasting" anything! Got it?

[400Years]

10. Got what?

go crazy

[cali]

9. LOL

So instead of starting a thread on one of the issues you've designated as vital, you start another one on McKinney? What was the last thread you started on any of the topics you listed?

The truth is, there are always tons of threads on DU that are about personalities and issues that aren't on your approved list. Right now there's a long topic on what Laura Bush thinks of Hillary's housekeeping, to name just one. People are free to post about whatever issues they want to, as long as it fits DU guidelines.

[devilgrrl]

11. I keep forgetting that you're sooooooo superior....

you're so cool and condescending - can hang out with you?

Never mind that you're one of the people I'm talking about.

[cali]

12. Let's see,

I started 4 threads today; one was that Cynthia McKinney was holding a news conference, one was about General Zinni, one on the lack of a government in Iraq and one on the news that Count von Stauffenberg's widow had died. Now what threads, aside from this one, have you started?

[devilgrrl]

14. And have all the answers and all the solutions....

it's a wonder that you're not running for office. BTW, if I'm such a dork, why do you keep responding to me - oh wise one?

[cali]

17. Those are your projections

or assumptions or whatever. I certainly never called you a dork, and I respond to whomever I feel like responding to.

[devilgrrl]

20. You just like disputing people and trying to knock them down to size...

it's what gets you throught the night.

[Dora]

19. Wow!

"I started 4 threads today..."

Oooooooooohhhhhh.

:rofl:

(Didn't your mother ever teach you that the size of your penis/post count doesn't matter?)

[400Years]

23. you must not have very good reading comprehension skills

he stated what threads he started and what subject they were on

If you interpret that as somehow comparing penis sizes then I think that is more your own problem than anything else.

[Dora]

29. I comprehend perfectly well, thank you for caring.

I read Cali's post, and the subject of his/her threads is irrelevant (IMO).

Cali's post was all about ego and self-validation in an attempt to diminish the argument/rant of Devilgirl's.

devilgirl is as entitled to her opinions and complaints as is any other member. If Cali wants to argue in favor of post-tolerance, then perhaps Cali should practice before preaching.

[400Years]

30. uh,....okay

I'll let you children play amongst yourselves.

[Dora]

32. Oh, snap!

:rofl:

Are you going to take your toys with you when you leave? :sarcasm:

[cali]

25. Uh, no.

I never discussed penis size with my mother.

[devilgrrl]

27. That's because she already knows how SMALL it is?

:-|

[tomp]

13. sorry, feel like being riled over mckinney. nt

[devilgrrl]

16. yeah, the bitch should be arrested right?

have fun being riled.

[tomp]

28. who said anything about her being arrested?

i support her. i'm riled such a flap has occurred.

have fun being arrogant.

[devilgrrl]

31. I could tell that you do support McKinney...

you made it so abundantly clear in your original post! :sarcasm:

[radio4progressives]

15. Kicked and Recommended! My Sentiments EGGS-ACTLY

Damn.. the past two weeks all i ever see here anymore is one racist, xenophobic and sexist post after another..

I wanted to ask are we being freeped or is this the actual of mind set of DU (real democrats?) members?

I want to think we've been infiltrated heavily by racists pigs, rather than believe that real democrats think like freepers!

[devilgrrl]

18. But but this HUGH!!111 This is SERIES!!!111

:eyes:

[Dora]

21. I am so with you on this.

McKinney, the immigration debate, school uniforms, the perils of circumcision... the non-issue issues go on and on and on.

Wading through the muck here has been harder than usual lately.

True colors are shining through in every thread, though.

[Saturday]

22. I just don't get it.

There's plenty of room here for ALL topics. If you don't want to talk about McKinney don't. But maybe someone else does.

[400Years]

24. no shit

[Blue_In_AK]

26. True enough

I don't even open up the topics if they don't interest me. I probably look at about 5 percent of what's posted every day. Geez, you guys, lighten up.

[LeftCoast]

33. Locking

This is a flamefest.
