FROM THE 'DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND': A new low for the far left: a post titled, "Why I Hope the Bloodshed Continues in Iraq." I kid you not.
DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND DECIDES TO EDIT: Hmmm. After I linked to a truly hideous posting celebrating bloodshed in Iraq, they take the page down. I should have copied the page. First CBS. Now DU. Shine a light on them and they scram.

THE POST: Here's what Democratic Underground didn't want you to see:
I Hope the Bloodshed Continues in IraqI'm not saying this represents anything but a radical fringe. Implying that liberals or Democrats support his kind of poison is absurd. But this exists. And it's part of what's fueling the anger of the far left. (By the way, Democratic Underground has more traffic than this site, Instapundit, the Nation or the New Republic. It boasts over 30,000 subscribers.)
Well, that should bring the bats out of the attic with fangs dripping. I won't be hypocritcal. It is politically correct, particularly in any Dem discussion to hope and pray and feel for our troops and scream "bring them back now". I'm fighting something bigger.
I'm a 58 year old broad and I can tell you that what is going on in our country isn't the usual ebb and flow of politics where one party is in power and then another; where the economy goes through ups and downs.......yawn, yawn--just wait a bit and things will turn out peachy keen. That stupid la-la land is over.
I realize that not every GI Joe was 100peeercent behind Prseeedent Booosh going into this war; but I do know that that is what an overwhelming number of them and their famlies screamed in the face of protesters who were trying to protect these kids. Well, there is more than one way to be "dead" for your country. They are not only not accompishing squat in Iraq, they are doing crap nothing for the safety, defense of the US of A over there directly. But "indirectly" they are doing a lot.
The only way to get rid of this slime bag WASP-Mafia, oil barron ridden cartel of a government, this assault on Americans and anything one could laughingly call "a democracy", relies heavily on what a shit hole Iraq turns into. They need to die so that we can be free. Soldiers usually did that directly--i.e., fight those invading and harming a country. This time they need to die in defense of a lie from a lying adminstration to show these ignorant, dumb Americans that Bush is incompetent. They need to die so that Americans get rid of this deadly scum. It is obscene, Barbie Bush, how other sons (of much nobler blood) have to die to save us from your Rosemary's Baby spawn and his ungodly cohorts.
For sure. Simple test: just follow a DU thread and see how long it lingers on the top page without a bump. Here, a post is buried several pages back in (usually) under a minute. There, a half a dozen replies will keep a thread close to the top all day.
They are growing, however. It used to be, I could post over there in the morning, check back the next day for replies, and find the thread on the second or third page. Now it pays to bookmark.
Memo Gate.
It's really Hillary and she is lying about her age this time.
Yeah, but you have to remember that Rats 'subscribe' the same way they 'vote'. :)
Very much so. I got banned 3 times. I ran out of e-mail addressess. LOL.
I think they count hits, not members. One day I tried to count the names. I got to about 30. Maybe all those 0's are a typo.
Many are still teens. They talk about school, sex, waitng to vote, and having sex with cats.
I think Sullivan is refering to his own blog site, not FR.
No. If RATS lose an election it is because the voting equipment was rigged by Bush and his cronies. They honestly believe that there is no way they lost the governors elections last night, nor in California. They firmly believe that the outcome was rigged.
I have always thought Skinner is pretty level headed. There are a few stable adults at DU (and not all of them are undercover Freepers) with whom one can have a reasonable discussion. Skinner is one of them. He/she must get tired of running an asylum.
I don't spend a lot of time over there, but it's fun to go be contrarian from time to time.:)
I wish I could say that this post was universally decried by other Democratic Underground people. Some did express dismay; some worried that the “freepers” and Andrew Sullivan would link to it. But a disquieting number seem to be either tacitly or openly in synch with this debased opinion. LGF
What makes you think it's a she?
It's Al Franken.
