great interview. and even a nice shout-out to Tom (IHNB).

8. This was awesome

Its great to see my two favorite websites maintaining a relationship. DU and the Young Turks are the two most important websites for any liberal to use in my opinion.

[ihavenobias]

107. The current TYT website is in dire need of an overhaul.

The good news is a new site should be up relatively soon.

49. Congrats DU! I came here right after the coup of 2000 and I

so well remember how depressed I was. DU helped me get through the depression. I never thought that I would ever see a coup in America, but it happened. Seems like yesterday! Great interview!!!!!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

57. Yikes! Thanks for posting that...

I rarely read comments on YouTube anymore because they're so damn hostile, and these are no exception. And I guess that I've gotten spoiled after being on DU for so long. Folks here think before they post anything... and they can spell! :D

[intheflow]

99. Seriously bitter banned members.

They really need to get over themselves. Sounds like a bunch of freepers.

[KatyaR]

78. Yay, David--that was a great interview.

And thanks to Cenk for promoting DU.

DU seems like it's been here forever. It's hard to believe it's been only ten years; but then again, it's hard to believe it's really been ten years! This is my best place on the intertubes, and that's thanks to the guys who run this site and all the great people who come here to share.

Happy 10th Anniversary, DU--here's hoping for many, many more! :party: :party: :party:

[FailureToCommunicate]

[suzanner]

93. Thanks and congratulations! Amazing job!

With 3 people! Remarkable every day and even holidays.

[LiberalLovinLug]

94. Congratulations on the 10th year!

I was another liberal come out of the cold rain in 2003 after massive anti-war protests were ignored by the MSM and did nothing to prevent the smirking chimp and his dark overlord to engage in their orgy of oil looting, mass murder, rape and pillage.

I found a warm fire in a cozy room. I was heartened by the DU tradition of welcoming new members on the discussion boards. Here I found like-minded intelligent folks who cared about truth and justice and fighting the anti-Democratic agenda of the Neo-Cons.

Here's to the next 10 years! :toast:

[RoseMead]

95. Nice interview. :)

Happy birthday, DU. Here's to another fabulous 10 years, at least! :toast:

[proud patriot]

96. happy birthday DU

102. Skinner might have mentioned his mortgage is on this:

:) Thanks for continually improving DU.

[intheflow]

103. Congratulations on 10 years!

Having served behind the scenes I know it hasn't been easy, but you keep a civil and engaging site filled with literate and interesting people.

Three cheers to that!! :toast:

[KansDem]

104. Good interview, Skinner!

There'll be an extra fin in my next quarter's fund-drive donation! :hi:

[SidDithers]

108. Holy crap, comments at Youtube are fucking hilarious...

bunch of butthurt TS'd DU'ers whinging about how awful DU is, and how great that other place is.

Too funny. :rofl:

Sid

[Frustratedlady]

109. Great interview and what a nice looking young man!

Isn't it funny how you form an image in your mind, but it never turns out to be anywhere near reality.

Good job, Skinner!
