Attacks from a conservative blog.....
posted at DU. Anything, and everything is fair game now in an attempt to smear this president. I really wish every legitimate policy decision thread etc. could be posted in this forum only. Jeez....

1. I've expressed my feelings and see no reason to post much until something changes
What's the point if one of the basic tenants of this place is no longer in force - namely that "Constructive criticism of Democrats or the Democratic Party is permitted. When doing so, please keep in mind that most of our members come to this website in order to get a break from the constant attacks in the media against our candidates and our values. Highly inflammatory or divisive attacks that echo the tone or substance of our political opponents are not welcome here.

You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

Democratic Underground may not be used for political, partisan, or advocacy activity by supporters of any political party or candidate other than the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Supporters of certain other political parties may use Democratic Underground for limited partisan activities in political races where there is no Democratic Party candidate.

Do not post broad-brush smears against Democrats or the Democratic Party."

2. But I guess
it's okay to say that Obama should run as a Republican?

5. How much does one have to donate to be able to stay on as a donor
and come into this forum? Is there a minimum?

7. They're even locking threads here more aggressively
I now refer to this place as "Democratic Undermine."

Jeez is not the right word, but I have to tell you guys and gals that I really and truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you I would be so out of here.

8. One of us should conduct an experiment and post something from RedState
and see what happens. All the naysayers would probably agree with it.

9. The smart thing to do would be to leave out the URL.
And see if people pick up on it.

Don't say it's from RedState.
