What the hell has happened to Democratic Underground?
 When I joined up in 2002, I was treated with suspicion. Mainly, I think, because I was from Alabama, and expressed the idea that, while I disagreed with it, I could understand and relate to the anti-abortion viewpoint.

I felt that I was considered the secret right-winger. Even though I was always in support of labor unions, a woman's right to choose, and medical marijuana. And I knew that Ronald Reagan was a terrible, terrible president, who injured many generations, even those yet to come.

But nowadays, right-wing people, way to the right of where I ever stood, are tolerated and welcomed on this message board.

The participants of this website have veered far right, in my opinion. And that is in the opinion of someone who was once considered by consensus to be on the right.

10. You're very right (no pun intended)
 Some of the meanest and most hateful, bullying internet rhetoric can be found right here.

Sarcasm, or is he actually right for once? I think my breath was momentarily taken away...

Someone broke his rose colored glasses or he ran out of dope.

The sparkling husband primitive's been somewhat "off" lately, not his usual self.

Two theories: one is that the sparkling husband primitive's wife, when playing with her chemistry set, might have jumbled up too many, uh, additives, for the sparkling husband primitive's afternoon cocktail.

She wants him out of the way, so as to get the life-insurance money and to run away to Elysian Fields with Mrs. Tutweiler down the street, but she knows it's got to be undetectable.

The second is that the sparkling husband primitive was recently in San Francisco, confrering with his business associates Shaky-Legs Sal, Padlock-Face Vito, Pretty Boy Willie, Hair-Trigger Silvestro, Lucky Lido, Hangnail Charlie, Bet-a-Million Camillo, Hopscotch Peppone, Horny Guiseppe, Mashed-Potatoes Louie, Leo the Squirrel, and Bela Pelosi's husband--all members of the famous d'Alessandro crime family of Baltimore, some years ago transplanted to the west coast--and the "meeting" didn't go so well.

Time will tell.

I guess we'll see, but if it's theory 1, the sparkling husband primitive's wife best curb her greed. Otherwise, I fear I may be seeing her case on the I.D. channel...

Wrong?  Nothing went wrong, the whole purpose of the site is to corral the political equivalent of crazy cat ladies in a dark corner of the innerwebz so they won't embarass the Democrackhead Party in public.  It's doing a fine job of it, I'd say.  The Party masters are still subsidizing $kammer to keep you in the dungeon, he's convinced you that you want to be there, and he manages to skim off any spare change you have in the process.  Sounds like the system is working perfectly!

Still seem to be the same hate-filled, insanity-ridden, intellectually-challenged, echo chamber of morons, drama queens, pseudo-elites, and social misfits that it always was.

Which reminds me, I need to put Randy's brilliant quote back in my siggy:

Huffpo is for the more stable adult types.
Kos is for the young hip clueless types
DU and it's bastard-spawn sister sites are the
dark corner attic rooms where you keep the crazies. Randy

I wonder if they are any relation to the one here in NH, Lou, a demoncrat potentate for many years.

Carry on... :drunksailor:

108. LOL
 If this is what a website that has veered far to the right looks like, I'd never visit a left wing site.

 :lmao: Lousy Freeper troll. I concur.

It's kind of become a substantial bonfire over there.
