Gee, this Firedoglake Post went Unnoticed........

[FrenchieCat]

Just so there’s absolutely no ambiguity, let me get something out of the way: Democrats and progressives and anyone who doesn’t want crazy people running the country should get off their asses tomorrow and vote early and often for Coakley.

“Punishing” the Democratic Party by helping elect a Bush/Cheney Republican is the equivalent of cutting off your head to spite your nose hairs.

Grow the fuck up, please.

1. It was posted earlier today. I called it a cute CYA.

[laughingliberal]

17. Yes. And I posted a link to an article the other night where FDL was

highlighting PhRMA fighting our President standing up for decreasing the length of time the biotechs could hold on to exclusivity and how one poster here kept saying, if it's from "LiardogFake, it's 100% bullshit." And how I kept posting links to other sources to show it was not 100% bullshit and our President really was standing up for this which would piss off Billy and save people some money. Then I posted a link to that thread which was quite amusing, I thought. Oh, look, here it is again:

And then I said, but continue on. Killing the messenger is always the correct approach.

[Gman]

2. LOL! You want them to grow up!!

That'll be the day. They have more fun whining and complaining and bitching and moaning and threatening.

[aquart]

3. Why do you find that confusing?

Doesn't square with the conspiracy in your head?

[dkf]

4. Ah so NOW we love FDL.

I thought they were enemy number one?

[xultar]

7. Well, at least that poster is cool....

for now. ROFL

[FrenchieCat]

13. Could be too little to late.....

they can resume bashing on Wednesday is my guess.

[laughingliberal]

21. Oh, you must also have missed the post the other night

where they ran the story on the President going against PhRMA to stand up for decreasing the time the biotech manufacturers can maintain exclusivity and how one poster just kept saying if it's LiardogFake it's 100% bullshit and how I then posted links to other news sites that were reporting the same positive news about our President. I bookmarked it cause I thought it would come in handy one day. Here it is:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=7477849

But you're probably correct. This one link you put up is, I'm sure, the only time they ever post anything useful or true and they'll be back to bashing on Wednesday.

[robinlynne]

36. Actually they are going to INCREASE the time by 12 years, not decrease.

[laughingliberal]

38. Well, the Senate and House both passed bills allowing them 12 years

but the President wants it cut down to 10. Not a huge victory but better that 12. He was, originally, not in favor of giving them more that 7 but both chambers have 12 years in their bills.

[robinlynne]

42. The law curently gives them less than that. They are changing the law to give them more time.

[robinlynne]

43. no. It's 12 years in addiiton to the time currently alotted by the law. they are chaning the law to

give them MORE time. 10 or 12 is on top of what they have now (20 or 25?)

[HughMoran]

14. ...in your "us versus them, keep attacking fellow DUers" mind

Your mission here is kinda funny.

[dkf]

26. I find it ironic is all.

Don't listen to FDL. Oh now they are saying what I want them to say so listen to FDL. So cynical.

[HughMoran]

27. Yeah I know

So you tease them and I tease you :P

:rofl:

[dkf]

31. Yeah dude. I noticed you're following me around

I think it's kind of cute. :)

[HughMoran]

35. I have a "fan" too

They are cute, aren't they?

[dkf]

37. Lol. Too funny.

You made my day.

[tavalon]

32. I didn't get into that little pissing contest

I didn't like some of what Jane Hamsher said and I visit FDL all the time because I like it's layout and what it has to say. That hasn't changed. I notice an awful lot of black and white thinking here on DU, or black and white pontificating, if you prefer.

Take President Obama for instance. I'm really happy with a lot of what he's done. I'm really angry about a bit more of what he's done. I'm outraged by a couple of things he's done or not bothered to do. And it's going to take a ton more of that last category before I decide not to vote for him. It's quite a nuanced view and yet I'm called an Obama hater and a couple of months ago I was called an Obama cheerleader. I am neither.

[dkf]

34. You have a mind of your own. Thank goodness.

Nothing scares me more than blind followers

[tavalon]

41. That's what keeps me here

We have a lot of independent thinkers here. I think one of the reasons we all get in so many arguments is because we think and we don't all think alike.

[depakid]

5. Since it seems that a number of DU'ers are boyvotting Firedoglake, it would be easy to overlook...

[FrenchieCat]

10. But their fans still seem to know how to post threads about

investigations of Dems and shit....
so since the support of Democrat posts come so rarely,
I would have thought it would have been picked up by their
legion of fans! :patriot:

[depakid]

16. If you're referring to Geithner

Some apparently believe that credible allegations of malfeasance should be investigated, no matter who's in office- or where the chips fall.

Personally, I'd like to see investigations and prosecution of members of the previous administration who repeatedly and flagrantly violated the law- along with banksters, fraudsters other corporate criminals like the executives from Peanut Corp (who actually killed people).

Unfortunately, those appear to have been taken off of the table.

[laughingliberal]

23. Maybe we need to take one more look at a post the other night that contained a link about a positive

step the President took against PhRMA and the poster who kept saying, "if it's LiardogFake, it's 100% bullshit."

Oh, look, here it is:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=7477849

Seems someone else found a link from them that wasn't about investigatiing Dems and shit.

[Avalux]

6. Short and to the point! Love it.

Not voting for Coakley to teach the Democratic Party a lesson is idiocy. Yes, grow the fuck up people.

[Garbo 2004]

8. Previous thread on this now on Greatest page:

[MineralMan]

9. FDL: Please ignore the last four months of Democrat-bashing.

Do go and vote for Coakley tomorrow. We were wrong to threaten to walk off the court. Come back Wednesday, and we'll resume our usual anti-Democratic Party hatefest. Thank you for your attention.

[FrenchieCat]

11. !

:rofl:

[TheWraith]

46. Yep, pretty much.

:eyes:

[bigwillq]

12. Posted already

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7497876

[MineralMan]

15. And posted again. Not everyone saw the previous post.

Everyone should see this, so they'll understand just how lame FDL really is.

But, hey, thanks for letting us know...

[nashville_brook]

18. dupe.

[FrenchieCat]

19. Kicked!

[Bobbie Jo]

33. Woop!

Again, even. :kick:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

20. We really need guidelines posted by the self-appointed Commisars daily

Weren't we all forbidden to even mention Firedoglake on these boards? I thought anyone who read or posted anything from Firedoglake was in bed with Grover Norquist.

Earlier today didn't you determine that a Washington Post/ABC news poll was not acceptable? I hardly know what to read, think, post or discuss anymore. Should we PM stuff to you and the committee to see if it passes muster? I only want to fit in and I'm asking your assistance.

[Missy Vixen]

44. I wish we could recommend posts

>I only want to fit in and I'm asking your assistance.<

Yeah. Me, too. After all, we can't think for ourselves, and we need others to be sure and let us know what's acceptable.

continually amazed at the groupthink of DU since 2001

[LostInAnomie]

22. Don't you just love token lip-service?

They've spent the past month slinging shit at every Democrat in office, bashing Obama relentlessly, and praising teabaggers and Grover Norquist, but now we're supposed to forget all that.

Fuck FDL!

[laughingliberal]

24. Yes, I especially loved this token lip service the other night when they posted a story about

how the President pissed off Billy Tauzin (that's a good thing) in supporting the decrease in time the biotechs could hold their products exclusive and keep generics off the market. And..and..there was this poster who kept saying 'if it's LiardogFake" the story is 100% bullshit" and then I found several other news sources carrying the 100% bullshit story. Here, in case you missed it. I bookmarked it cause I was sure I would want to see it again:

[kayla9170]

29. Screw FDL..................

Vote in MA tomorrow for the Democrat because President Obama or the people that Phonebanked today, asked you too.

[laughingliberal]

39. Asking for peoples' votes is good. Dictating their motive might be a tad over the line. nt

[GreenArrow]

25. Is "grow the fuck up please"

supposed to be persuasive?

28. trying to retrieve her battered reputation?

She's way too late.
