This is the latest post over at DailyKOS.com:

ATTENTION WRIST SLITTERS! (none / 0)

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.

Freepers would love to drag this thread all over the Free Republic to energize thier base.

"Check out the feeding frenzy over on Kos" snicker snicker...

You people to hold it together, buck up and prepare for more battles to come. You know those emeffin' battles are on the horizon.

Now is the time to set up calling trees, email chains, and funding strategies to get the local population behind us in every city in every state of the nation.

People don't like to associate with people who act like losers, so quit acting like losers okay!

But, DU isn't a force like FR. Apples to oranges. FR took down Dan Rather, what has DU done? Giving them 'face' time on our forum is giving them unspoken credibility.

Looks like DU is open again.. no need to post their messages anymore.

They are all getting drunk right now. I am not joking. Their dmin Mod just left saying he was going to drink beer. They have all joined in for a cyber-alcoholic binge.

Enjoy the hangover tomorrow DUmmies!

"they do not deserve me." Do I detect narcissistic, arrogant, smugness under that five word sentence?

Here is the KOS thread on suicide watch.

You have to read it to see how upset they are and how these people think. I give credit to those who ask others not to swear, particularly in reference to the two female Republican senators from Maine whom they thought earlier today were in their pocket on this.

Maybe they should start hugging them for empowerment purposes.

Original message
I'm going out to get a beer.

Sucks to be us right now. It's true, the vote didn't go the way we wanted it to. But I think we have a lot to be proud of. I think it is fair to say that without the liberal blogosphere, there wouldn't have even been a fight. So that's something that you all did. You should be proud. At least now they know that we aren't going to sit back and do nothing while our country goes down the toilet.

I know that we're all pretty upset right now, and we're all dealing with this in different ways. Some of us want to find support amongst our DU friends. Some of you want to vent. We have asked the mods to back off a bit, to give you all room to blow off steam a little. But we don't have unlimited tolerance, so please.. Just don't act like a dick.

And if you're in a really bad mood, and if you feel like disrupting or pissing people off -- please turn off your computer right now. We don't want you to do something that you might regret in the morning. There is no shame in logging off of DU.

Hell, that's what I'm going to do right now. As I said, I'm going to get a beer, and EarlG is gonna come with me. And we're going to raise a glass to the kick-ass Democrats on DU, who still give a fuck about this country, and are still willing to fight for the things that matter.

You rock.

I'm thinking about signing up on du today, just so I can read their rants and seeing them explode in 2006 when they lose the election(again). we seriously need some people then to monitor the suicide rate.

No, no, NO! The mass suicide over at DU in 2006 will be nothing compared to the suicide watch at DU in 2008, when the Repubs win again.
