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...

I wanted to see what the DU folks had to say about Obama's speech tonight. Apparently, threads are being locked and pulled. I did find one interesting thread that shows that even the DU members' confidence in Obama is wavering. I tried to edit for language somewhat. Here are some exerpts: "When it comes to Obama speeches anymore, I'm like Gary Larson's dog...Blah, blah, blah Ginger blah, blah, blah Ginger blah, blah, blah..." "I was underwhelmed watching it on Olberman just now and agree with most of what Olberman and the commentators are saying, unfortunately." "Un f...ing believable! I am...

Am I the only one that stares at people in cars that have Obama '08 bumpers stickers? Sorry, but I can't help it. Why is it that they all look odd?

Just came across this hit job on FR on Salon from 10 days ago. Has anyone seen this ? I searched here but couldn't find anything. Apparently some lib, probably the author himself, created a bogus account on FR advertising underage porn and then used that to create a story. Link below.

WASHINGTON -- So far, J.D. Hayworth's campaign to beat Sen. John McCain for the Republican nomination for McCain's seat in Arizona is looking like little more than a nuisance. A new Research 2000 poll sponsored by Daily Kos, out Friday, showed McCain beating Hayworth easily, 52-37. Meanwhile, McCain ended the first quarter of 2010 with $4.5 million in the bank, after raising more than $2.2 million this year so far. Hayworth announced that he raised more than $1 million, but didn't say exactly how much. (And one of his top advisors, Arizona public relations mogul Jason Rose, recently quit because...

Big Island elected officials arriving to meet with Army representatives at Pohakuloa Training Area got a eye-opening surprise Wednesday morning In addition to the usual gaggle of anti-Semites and 9-11 trooothers protesting against the military, they were greeted at the front gate by a dozen Big Island residents rallying to support the troops. According to a source inside the closed briefing, the troop supporters became the topic of conversation within the meetings over and over again. Community leaders were heard to exclaim "We had no idea that there was this much support for PTA and the military here on the...

Folks and Friends at Free Republic I just wanted to inform you that one of the computers I have at home has COMPUTER ASSOCIATES' SECURITY CENTER installed on it as part of the package I have with my recent Internet and cable service provider -- CABLEVISION. This is the CA SECURITY CENTER VERSION 4.0.0.205 Now, everytime I try to access FR on this computer, it blocks me with the following reason : URL: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/go-button For the following reason: based on the category Category: Hate I have to override it by entering an administrative password to temporarily allow the FR site...

Its on Oregon voters fire first shots at the rich, The rich are trenched in and planning a stunning blow to the hungry,homeless,lifetime welfare class. Many of the rich are warm and comfortable in there homes and offices, they plan on getting signatures to bring the fatal blow in the conflict. The weapon of legislation by way of proxy. The money is coming in and soon the ballet box will be stuffed with ballots on them a law stopping all funding of welfare funding. Welfare troops are having a hard time focusing due to not having a leader to tell...

Some ongoing threads from the bottom of the DUmpster: " Rejoice, f***wits, we're officially "underground" again." " People voted for Brown because the Democrats are not properly left wing" " The worst thing to happen to the Democrats was the 60-vote majority." " Who really won today?. Glenn Beck did. FAUX News did. Sarah Palin did." " Calm the FU&k Down!!!!" " HINT: The Solution For Democrats Is NOT TO BECOME MORE CONSERVATIVE (R U Listening?)" " Calling people "teabaggers" and making fun of pickup drivers didn't work out too well for us" " On the bright side, I guess...

These mammals, who pushed and pushed and pushed some more till Atlas finally had it and shrugged, are now whining about their misery. There's a really nice thread about the prices of drugs. Now he only has change. It's really amusing. There's another good one posted by a guy (I don't think men post on the DUmp) about the hard time he's having finding employment. There's nothing but hope on the horizon for him. Toast schadenfreude with me, folks!

A liberal blogger on the DUmpster forum today showed the pathological depths to which the far left has sunk in its hatred of America and reflexive support of those who would seek to harm us. In a forum discussing whether the Christmas day Nigerian Islamic bomber should face a criminal or a military trial, a blogger wrote "He is not a terror suspect - He's a prisoner of an illegal war who should be released with all the rest. We should be the ones on trial." When challenged by a fellow blogger if "he would say the same thing if...

In a DU discussion (name calling and pettiness) forum about Fox News, I posted a link to a poll ( http://imfoxnews.com/ )that asked if Fox leaned further to the right than left. I asked for comments (and put on my helmet) None They apparently do not even want their subscribers to see any other view. I was suspended from posting and my post deleted.

You can now add the KOmmies to the ranks of those who HATE the Harry Reid version of ObamaCare. For some reason, the Democrats seem intent on committing electoral suicide in order to ensure that some bill, ANY bill, passes the Senate by Christmas. You can see the KOmmie angst over ObamaCare (ReidCare) in this THREAD, "Voters Revolt: Only 33% Support for New Senate Health Care Bill." The KOmmies object to ReidCare because it doesn't include their beloved option. Rational people oppose it because it does way more harm than good. In fact, Robert Byrd may be the first...

I was curious if anyone here knows how Daily Kos people differ Dirty Underground people? It seems like DU people are made fun of more here. Are they funnier? Does anyone know if one group is more elitist, more intelligent, or more vile than the other?

(Comments from Guys from the Dirty Underground) Letting Joe Lieberman rule and laugh and not do a thing about it. Giving that lying sack of shit chairmanships and leverage while folks are dying. I've been keeping my mouth shut around here. I've been through good and bad on DU since 2001, but this was the most disgusting, hurtful thing I've had to witness in politics. Not even that loss to Bush in '04 had me as disgusted as I am now. ---- I started doing this in 2004. Until the dems become the party of the people again, they'll not...

The DU Bumper Sticker Slogan Contest runs on the first Tuesday of every month (er, usually). HOW IT WORKS * If you've got a great idea for a slogan that you think would work well on a bumper sticker, post it in reply to this thread. These DUmmies are totally unwitty! I mean look at their bumper sticker ideas: "Poverty is not a crime. Home Sweet Home, Thanks Capitalism Science is bad, ignorance is good, DUDE, where's my spear? Lettum eat yellowcake. Extremism in the Defense of Liberty DESTROYS LIBERTY" Any Freepers have some good ideas of what should be...

You folks remember a year ago Thanksgiving 2008? Liberals were celebrating, conservatives were commiserating about the end of the world. Well a year later and it is not a very happy Thanksgiving for our Liberal/Progressive friends. Before I brighten your day here's a little comment I posted the day after election 2008 : "Come January Obama’s days of gaining anybody is over. The whole game changes, the demon GWB is out, Pelosi/ Obama is in. Come January their party is over as all cameras are on them. And we reunite after many years in a common cause (finally) with the...

Welcome to the new DU for....., replacing an older edition that first came out in 2008. Given the increasing popularity of P-J Comix's most excellent DUmmie FUnnies, the Best/Worst of DU forum on conservativeunderground, and the DUmpster and DUmping Ground here at conservativecave, it is important that such a guide to watching the DUmmies in DUmmieland be up-to-date in time for the coming mid-term elections. One supposes the first question is, why bother watching the DUmmies, as compared with watching paint dry or changing the air in the tires on the automobile? There are several good reasons for watching the...

Hey DUmmies! If you want the honor of having your thread DUFUed, then be really creative in your titles. The main reason why this THREAD was DUFUed was its title, ""Mr President, do know how many people lived on ramen noodles to get you elected?" No matter how many times I read it, I never fail to chuckle. In fact, the rest of the thread is pretty much anticlimactic although the personal woes posted by the author, DUmmie thunder rising, is also quite FUnnie. This thread has even inspired a new DUmmie description on my part: Ramen Noodle DUmmies. Ramen...

"Fetus wins Nobel Peace prize. Experts see excellent potential based on genetic testing. 'Although the fetus has yet to actually take a breath, the results of our DNA analysis says that, once born, the child will have the capability of speech and is likely to wish for world peace' said researchers about the 20 month old fetus." Great intentions aren't the same as great accomplishments. I wish they'd waited a while to see what he can actually do.
