[I still care]

“message discipline”

Love that one. It’s not censorship, it’s message discipline.

You see, when Democrats really take over something, the important thing is to have message discipline.

[Fantasywriter]

Thanks for the ping. This doesn’t sound like it’s going to end well.

I couldn’t log onto to FreeRepublic yesterday, so I took a peek at DU. Somebody posted a very, very short thread about the woman who contacted Obama for help with her illegal husband...who was promptly arrested. The first (of a total of 2) replies was, ‘I guess you don’t want to write to this president unfortunately.’

The second was, ‘I hope nobody has any questions about assisted suicide.’

[ShandaLear]

Wow, they virtually made it so no one can ever post there again. Talk about a suicide pact.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

You know, that's the difference between here and there. There are such tight controls over what one can say over there. Not so here. JimRob and the admin moderators don't care what you say about them. This is a huge community, no one can micromanage it. Which is why I can say that the Admin Mod's mom is a...This poster's priveleges have been suspended.:)

[eyedigress]

Not a snowballs chance in Hell will the DUmmies conform to this. They have the mentality of 16 year old drop-outs over there.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Ain’t it nice that they have a whole section on inappropriate attacks...AGAINST DEMOCRATS. And calling Obama Barry is an attack. Wasn’t his nickname on the basketball court Barry O’bomber? Is that insensitive too?

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Pied piper pitt was tombstoned? God, I’ve missed a lot.

[A message]

So we have been banging our heads against the wall for a long time

Which is required action by anyone who wants to be as DUmb as a liberal, progressive or bag of hammers.

[texmexis best]

Serious comment:
I think that the head wazoo of DU got a call from the whitehouse and was told to calm the waters or they might have more problems.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

I’ve always wanted to sign up over there.

Sounds like this may be a good time while their hair is on fire. (My goal is to survive up to the elections).

[rockrr]

I’m not convinced the average DUmmie’s reading comprehension is sufficient to absorb all these new rules. Are you sure that “Poopie-head” is off limits?

[MindBender26]

Skinner really loves to talk and be obeyed. He probably couldn’t say “sh`t” in less than 28 syllables!

[franksolich]

Oh my.

That’s all I can say, oh my.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

I have only made it part way through Skinner’s list before my eyes glazed over. Oh my, what will they be able to talk about? Not much.

[mikrofon]

Now that we have a Democratic President, I do not think it is unreasonable to expect that he be shown more respect here than the illegitimate, incompetent asshole who previously held the office. He should be referred to as "President Obama,"

Only illegitimate, incompetent asshole Democrats must be addressed with the title of President...

[rockrr]

Fortunately they still can say, “Bush’s fault”....right?!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Perhaps DU is having troubles with their system and they need to cut way back on their bandwidth?

They have banned just about every thought, phrase, or saying that most DUmmies use to express themselves, let alone “communicate”.

I agree with many, this is not going to go well. DU is going to implode.

Holy crap. JimRob and his moderators have a much simpler, single rule.

[hattend]

Wow... Just wow

Looks like you won’t be able to post anything over at the DUmp

Just as well
