The leftwing blogosphere has a big problem: dissent. Last week we saw Keith Olbermann leaving the Daily Kos because he was attacked there for mildly criticizing Barack Obama. And this week, the administrator of the Democratic Underground, David Allen aka Skinner, was forced to deal with a recent wave of purges (tombstoning). One reason was due to simple liberal crackup temper tantrums among the DUers as happened when their most prominent member, William Rivers Pitt of Karl Rove indictment hoax fame, was tombstoned last month for threatening physical violence upon a fellow DUer who turned out to be a homeless woman. More serious is the current wave of dissent from DUers who are expressing dissatification with Obama's poor performance as president

The DUers and today’s Dems remind me of another political party that couldn’t tolerate even the slightest deviation from party orthodoxy. It didn’t work out well for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union either, but it took four painful and costly generations to work out that error. I hope and pray that we can excape from today’s socialists more easily than Germany and Russia did from the national socialists and the soviet socialists of the last century.

Kinda makes you wonder if most are actually beginning to see the light.

But then again there will be some that absolutely cannot for the very life of them admit some beliefs may be wrong, may have mislead many and is just plain wrong.

I only hope common man can realize that their are too many false leaders offering riches and positions of power, and its a pact with the devil.

They are all kids over at DU,they can agree on nothing and constantly bicker at each other...
They fight over the health bill whether Polanski is a perv and the best Obama is owned by the corporations.. ..Someone posted once at DU that DU is like a bunch of 5 yr old girls playing soccer full of enthusiasm but no clue what they are doing.

I wonder what other sites this applies to...

[GSP.FAN]

I assume you are talking about FR,i would respectfully disagree..
Last time i posted at DU on the immigration issue someone replied back about my mother squatting to give birth in the US,i have been told to go have sex with my sister etc etc...
We have some decency and respect for opinions at Fr,while i might disagree with them i will defend your right to express them...
