Maybe their upgrade to an Amiga didn't go well.

I have no idea what is causing the issues at DU. It's not the MSNBC Democrat forum thing - that ended hours ago.

Leads me to believe either the hamster died, or the site is 'feeling the Bern' as leftists are showing their displeasure with DU's blatant Hillary support.

I took time to peruse several of the latest threads. -- No indication of any crazed posting activity. So, I suspect either they have server issues, or they are getting DDOSed. - probably by Anonymous/OWS/Bernouts.

They're at DEFCON 3 huh? They must have a huge influx of users. Maybe up to 10-15 at a time. :lol:

The echo chamber DUmbfuks still have not caught on to the fact that the hit piece imploded.

Maybe IT and steampunk are a poor combination.

If the Mapes-Rather implosion is any sort of indicator, if Carson gets nominated and elected (that's a pretty big "if") POTUS, DU-folk will be regurgitating this hit piece for years to come (hopefully, IMO, for 10 or 20 years ... or more!).

Normally, the DUmp doesn't go to DEFCON mode unless it is a presidential election.  Or a midterm.

Hitlary Benghazi debacle
DUmmies: There is no there there. It's all a lie

Hitlary E-mail debacle
DUmmies: There is no there there. It's all a lie

Politico article (proven to be a lie)
DUmmies: OMG, Carson lied (believing the lie). There is a there there. We need to investigate further.

Liberals Disgust Me. (but I repeat myself, see below).
