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
It was my eighth banning. But I will admit I am a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL just like 20% of the posters over there. I signed right back up and will continue to laugh at the Military hating, antiAmerican fringe, inserting sane logical comments now and then, and getting banned for that. Sanity at DU is a no-no.
The last banning I got was because I said something about people working hard for a living and accepting responsibility for their family's wellbeing.
INSTANT TOMBSTONE!
Go over there and post “I LOVE AMERICA!!”
you will surely be ridiculed and banned.
Now go over there and post “I HATE AMERICA!!”
you will be recommended to the ‘greatest’ page within minutes.
Stoat,
I have liberal in my name too. I call myself definitelynotaliberal because notaliberal was taken. I’m a former liberal. My issues were civil rights and the environment. When George W. Bush refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol, I studied that document. And what I read shocked me and stripped me of all my assumptions. Then I studied other environmental issues. And I found that my party had not just done nothing in that arena, but that it had comported itself perversely. All protected land is protected because of Teddy Roosevelt, the EPA was founded during the administration of Richard Nixon.
Nixon’s administration also started Affirmative Action because Woodrow Wilson was elected to the Presidency in 1912, and in 1913 fired all blacks from all federal positions. He (WW) appointed James McReynolds to the Supreme Court. McReynolds refused to be photographed with Louis Brandeis because Brandeis was Jewish. That pushed me to study the civil rights movement, after which I was so disgusted by Democrats, I had no choice but to switch.
Civil rights and the environment are still my issues. And it’s not necessary to read history to know how hideous Democrats are. It’s sufficient only to keep your eyes open to what is going on right now. Observe how the Democrats treated Miguel Estrada when the President wanted him to be Chief Justice. How they comported themselves was just hideous. So the President turned around and gave them the white ME, Mr. John Roberts. And they had no problem with him. Mr. Estrada lived in Honduras till he was 17, mastered English when he came here to live with his mother, attended Columbia Law School, graduated at the top of his class and worked at the Office of the Solicitors General during the administration of Clinton. Harry Reid sanctimoniously declared that he wanted our Supreme Court ‘to look like America’. But have Democrats ever been or are they now able to see beyond the color of anyone’s skin? No, they showed us recently that they are not.
I’m not white, and I’m not a native speaker of English. In other words, to dummycrats and the democrap that they elect, I will never be an American. Therefore, I will not be voting Democrat for the next 40 years. And it is not a shame for me to be using liberal in my screen name anymore than it is so for pdxliberal. I do it by way of penance. Pdx is being honest. You will concur that it is a rare trait for a liberal. If he is also intellectually honest, he won’t be a liberal much longer.
What does it mean to be a Liberal? There are some major issues such as abortion and no oil drilling, but aside from those obvious ones what is it?
Well said. Thank you.
Is that a name change? from “Murray Mom” to “MurryMom”
She’s in her usual form in that rant!
A liberal from Portland... If it’s Portland, OR, that’s all I’ve ever met there. ;>) Enjoy your stay, as short as it will probably be.
It is time to grow up and become a conservative.
Welcome to FR and all.
89 posts and no reply yet? Hmmmmm....Is this a test?
We have some liberals here. As long as you remain respectful , they will probably let you hang around. Of course you have to understand that those with different viewpoints are on a shorter lease.
Funny thing about Ferraro. Why do you think she was on the ticket in 1984? Would she have been on the ticket if she had been a man?
I’m voting for obama in the Pa. primary.
She says this herself, that she was on the ticket because she was a woman. What she said about Obama is basically true. I don’t care what Dick Morris, (who obviously wants to see Obama elected), says about it.
From Oregon, sorry. ;-)
I agree.
Well, at least you haven’t been banned yet. :^)
I’d love to have more libs to spar with.
The problem is, they usually can’t express themselves without using profanity,
which they resort to whenever they are logically cornered.
No offense, just a suggestion.
Who are you and what did you do with Laz?
Banned from DU?
Gosh the Democrats are eating their own even on the Internet.
Take a hike Ike.
