UNDemocratic Underground submits to the Dark Side
   
Your bias is showing ... the subtle changes over time - Nader evil, any unpopular/progressive (non-party/popular candidate) thought = bad, and preferred posters (aka those who agree with your meme of the day/time) are allowed to post any offensive crap they want - while others are ignored or banned for posting different opinions.

So, go ahead, Tombstone me now -- cuz, as far as most real Progressives/Liberals are concerned, your Tombstoning has become a badge of honor.

5. I agree. Moderators ban Clinton supporters only
   
This is either because they themselves are Obama supporters, or are afraid of a backlash among the numerous Obama supporters, 80% of DU, that frequent the site.

7. Wow. Your first day here, and you seem to think you know DU.
   
That's either because you're someone's sockpuppet, a Shillbot spammer, or both - perhaps a former Shillbot spammer's new sockpuppet.

6. For a poster who has been here 3 months, you claim to know a lot about DU...
   
Although I can point to a couple of your points that are complete crap.

They talk a good game about free speech and democracy but always walk the communist/fascist line.

Bob Marley is crying.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Yeah! We'll show him for saying we're too ban-happy! We'll ban him! /DUmmie

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

DU, Irony capital of teh internetz  :mental:
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Just like the muslims, the DUmmies demand that you tolerate their intolerance.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.
