I am a Liberal. Before you BAN me, please read.

Edited on 03/19/2008 12:57:40 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]

I was BANNED from the Democratic Underground (DU) today.

I was banned for posting the following thread:

Subject: WOW!!! Sen. Obama is playing us like a fiddle!

Text: Sen. Obama's team set up this whole Race debacle from the get go, just so that he would have the stage set for this absolutely stirring speech on race relations. I have never seen the race card played so brilliantly in all the history of American politics. BRILLIANT!!!!

If the media gives this speech as much play as the racist Rev. Wright issue, and they will...he will find the new momentum he needs to secure the popular vote in the dem primary, no doubt. This man may even be our next POTUS, judging by the brilliant political savvy his team is displaying and his heaping helping of charisma, he is looking very very good!

Can any of you see this backfiring? I simply can not.

WOW!!!

After being referred to as a "troll freeper," I wanted to join this forum as a liberal and see what it is you folks are all about. So, here I am, letting you conservatives know that there are liberals being banned by the [expletive deleted] from Liberal forums because we do NOT agree with the path Sen. Obama et al. have chosen. I am not the only one that has been banned for speaking out against these race card tactics.

Many of us are disgusted.

I'm sure it will not be long before I'm banned here too, but I will play by your rules until then.

Cheers,

Liberal from Portland

MLK Jr. had his “I Have a Dream” speech. Now, Obama has his “I Have an Excuse” speech.

You’re right. Obama played you like a fiddle.

Liberal forums and conservative forums will ban capriciously, sometimes. If you are truly a liberal, you might best be suited to another liberal forum -- you'll get in too many heated arguments over here.

No offense, just a suggestion.

Thanks for watching your language, this forum is mostly grown ups that can make their point without the vulgarity we see at DU.

You should not get banned as long as you are civil.

Welcome to FR!

Here's my election prediction:
Hillary steals nomination.
Obamanites, outraged at Democrats, vote McCain in protest
Conservatives, outraged at GOP, stay home.
McCain wins election
Conservatives get blamed for everything for the next 4 years.

Thanks for watching your language...

If you look closely, you will notice that it was the moderator who cleaned up the liberal's post, not the liberal itself.

OK, but just so we’re clear - liberals suck.

And just so I'm clear, Liberalism sucks, not Liberals. Liberals are just those that believe, because they've not been exposed to facts. It's what they've been brainwashed with.

I always try to be civil and avoid profanity. I did get a warning from Admin after posting what I would have liked to see happen to a certain Dem Senator.

I was once a Democrat. I even voted for Carter (thank god that Reagan won). As I served in the Navy during the Reagan years, my viewpoint changed and I realized what most here on FR know. The few times I have visited DU I was appalled at the hatred shown there.

“Sen. Obama’s team set up this whole Race debacle from the get go....”

I disagree with you on that.

Liberal ideology and your party’s identity-politics are responsible.

The Democratic Party is a cult of multi-culturalism that encourages division. You’re the party of “separate but equal” that professionally pits one group against another. Democrats maintain their power, in part, by fostering the lie that individual failures are the result of discrimination in an evil, white, Christian, capitalist, America.

The disgusting, divisive, anti-semitic, anti-American venom spewed by Rev. Wright is not new to the Democratic Party. To Obama it is neither fringe nor extreme and I believe that he was caught off guard by the fact that so many Americans are shocked and offended by it. It is mainstream in the circles he and many other Democrats run in.

You’re upset that Obama played the race card but face it, your party is a house of cards—race cards, gender cards, gay cards, etc....

Hope to hear one day that you’re a recovering liberal from Portland.

np...a lot of us aren’t exactly “conservative”...more like pragmatic voting Libertarians. So are you a Hillbot???..figured I’d make you feel at home...lol.

I love how Obama stated on his Fox interview he would have left the church if he’d heard those types of statements repeated...and in his speech explained how he could never turn his back on Wright.

Good the evil are eating each other. You should re-register and encourage more of it. Obama is all smoke and mirrors and people that think have known that all along. People who feel will always support the PT Barnums.

Hope your zot is not to painful.

Dude, you seriously need to post a response or two.

You will find that you are welcome here — I think “Murray Mom” is still here or at the very she lasted for years — but don’t follow the troll pattern.

Talk to someone. Even a simple thank you will do...

Shocking huh? This is typical of how liberals react when they hear something they don’t like (the truth for instance).

Welcome. Keep an open mind. There are very many smart people here who will be able to give you different perspectives than what you may look at for different issues. I go over and observe DU but always feel dirty. lol. Mostly because of the language. They allow foul language there something we do not allow. Good Luck!

I have never seen the race card played so brilliantly in all the history of American politics.

I have never seen the race card played so brilliantly often, other than by the democrats. In all the history of American politics, it is always the democrats using the race, gender, class, _____________(insert issue needed on line) to call attention to their plight.

The rest of the country has bent over backwards to help the "poor souls" who just cannot make it without a *&^%$&* handout. Can't get a job, use affirmative action. Can't buy the house you want, get a stupid loan and have the taxpayers end up paying for your stupidity. Too many kids, get on welfare. Can't afford health insurance, go to the ER and have the taxpayers pay for that too.

Socialism has FAILED miserably every time it is tried.

Brilliant? It's not too hard to fool collectivist with speeches.

The “prophets” Olbermann and Mathews reinforced your fellow collectivist friends by needing tissues, not for what seeps out from their two eyes mind you but what seeped out of their one eyed Willy.

“Feelings, nothing more, than, feelings. Throwing your white grandma under the bus and feelings of racist luuuvvvv.” Your “friends” are easy prey for the cult of personality (And yes that includes the first black couple of the United States, the Clintons).
