With a Democrat in the White House whose approval ratings have fallen well below 50 percent, liberal websites are entering some new territory--how to handle users who are reliably liberal but are not fans of President Barack Obama.
Case in point is Democratic Underground (aka DU), a liberal discussion forum started in 2001 that, up until recently, was united in its hatred for former president George W. Bush. But now that many Democrats have withdrawn their support of Obama, DU responded last week with regulations on how its users may express opinions about the current occupant of the Oval Office and Democrats generally.

Not unlike the msm, or this government for that mater.
Hilarious. Fascist to the core—the true colors are starting to emerge. This’ll probably end with ice axes lodged in quite a few skulls.
Censorship of liberals is good. If they shut each other up President Palin won’t have to use 0bama’s internet kill switch on them. /s
Libs are saying that the kill switch is nonexistent right wing conspiracy theory, so I guess its ok if President Palin gets the switch.
American Liberalism is truly a mental illness.
Notice how the libs have to be controlled. They do not have the self-control normal people do.
The dums just can’t turn off the hate. That place is a snake pit.
If they complain we’ll just say they are imagining their connections going down. Nice of 0biWon to provide the coming Conservative Regime with such a useful tool.
Heh... good headline. Get’s the peruser wondering whether it’s about Huffington Post, Politico, Salon, DUh, Little Green Tomatoes, whatever.. You have to click to find out. I didn’t think DUh was even still around with the emergence of Huffington Post as the premier site for socialist scumbags.
I was sad to come across this guys website and see that Billy Jack turned into a BDS foaming at the mouth idiot.... Life is hard
You’re quoted, dude!
>>You’re quoted, dude!<<
HEY, you beat me!!
"Nope. But I remember being lied to by Bush that the economy was in good shape. And now the Obama Administration is telling the same lies."
Bwahahahahaha! Couldn’t happen to a nastier group of potty mouths.
Or communists.
That too ;D
lol
But I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism?
I'm pretty sure the new rules do not include portraying Goober as Hitler, or showing him as a Chimp, but that's going to happen over there anyway.
DU is such a stinking dump.
But I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism?
DING! DING! DING!
POST OF THE DAY!
That needs to be posted on every DU thread from now until 2012 and beyond........if they last that long.
Never thought that denial of the first amendment, which is a right in the US, would be used on their own. Practicing?
There.......fixed it.
“dissent” “patriotism”

Well, that's mighty democratic of them, isn't it?
Just more proof that these morons are nothing more than pawns to the totalitarian Commies. Wonder how their membership is going to respond to this new dictate? Think any of them will get a clue and wise up?
Eating their own again? Looks like the Odummy Show isn’t wowing the viewers.
I have been booted from DU. I wear it as a badge of honor.
Yeah, they took this step after Goosestep Keith Olbermann posted some very mild criticism of Zero’s speech on the spill, was excoriated for it, and then announced his withdrawal from DU.
A frustrated DU was otherwise unavailable for comment.
So much for free speech. Many espouse free speech and opinion and engage in the same behavior to stifle any criticism.
Or "Hussein O-Kenyan," as I found out the hard way. ...after only one post. Very intolerant bunch over there.
Why doesn’t DU have Viking Kitties? They need the power of the ZOT.
Whatever you liberal morons decide, don’t come over to the consevative side, WE DON’T NEED MORONS!
However, I never go to to DU or DK, etc., so I might be mistaken.
Seriously, that's for Jim Robinson to decide; I know he doesn't like RINOs and RINO supporters, however, during Campaign 2008 I remember that there were several Democrat HILLARY supporters active here. They were part of a small movement called PUMA - "party unity my a$$."
I think it will be amusing, too, to see if there are NEW discussion sites developed for the unhappy libs.
There are LOTS of unhappy lefties out there.
Wow! if Du’s membership is starting to dislike the whiny little b!tch, the site is turning decidedly more racist - at l;east we’re told that the reason the rest of us hate dislike Jr.
