Has Anyone Else On DU Noticed This Lately?
Last edited Thu Jul 25, 2013, 01:46 PM USA/ET
I'm not a super-long member of DU. I've visited DU almost daily for five years or so. When I was laid up during the elections ("Do Not Move That Yourself!" said a very stern husband.... I wish I had listened to him!) I spent day after day just typing away on DU like a junkie.
So, you know, I'm not an expert, but I have a pretty good idea of what modern DU has to offer.
So, this is what I've noticed:
At any given time, this morning for example, 1/4-1/3 of the front page of the GD section is actually an ANTI Democrat story. Seriously, look through it. Anti Weiner, snowden, angry at Obama, Angry at Clinton, Anger anger anger. And it has been going on for months and months now. One anti-Democratic blow up after another. IRS, NSA...all of these situations where a little bit of homework, a little bit of sleuthing, a little bit of investigating, fall apart. I know FOX news turns those (already known or total lie) leaks into front page news and their minions scream and holler and grab up their pitchforks and demand blood on a daily basis.
See, that's how the Right Wing works, scream and demand blood before anybody has a chance to think. And never, ever, stop the assault. The negative headline must always be the top headline.
And why suddenly is DU following this same pattern? Why is DU screaming for the blood of OUR elected Democrats every time FOX News has a new lie or twisted story to tell? What has changed in DU that has made 1/4 or 1/2 or on a real red-hot FOX news day, 2/3 of our headlines look pretty danged similar to what the Right Wing is screaming. And when the lies are showed to be lies, suddenly it is just off to the next anti-Democratic story.
I've seen some long time DUers (or, at least names I've seen around for a while) that I have never noticed very much before, suddenly having story after story that are nothing but anti Obama, anti hillary, anti dem....not calling for the end of the Democrats, but systematically chipping away at the dems that lead our party. Chipping away, trying to drive a wedge between us. Tarnishing the Democrats.
So it just seems I see more of this. Things like blanket anti-Dem statements that pass juries and members with 20,000 posts who suddenly sound an awful lot like a troll. Suddenly it is OK to call Hillary Clinton a witch and worse and that is accepted as being part of a group of supportive democrats discussing issues that effect our lives.
I just feel it has changed a bit in DU lately. We're always mad at our leaders, of course, because they are politicians working the middle and it pisses us off. That, of course, will never change. But lately I see more simple anti-Dem stuff and it makes me think I smell some deeply entrenched trolls who are trying to drive us apart or who want to at least change the atmosphere so it isn't so nice a place to be.
Anyone else been noticing this? Don't believe me? Then look through the first couple pages of OPs.... some of those headlines look like they could have been lifted from the conservative cave.
Of course, maybe it has always been this way. But, if you were a new member stumbling upon DU for the first time, it sure wouldn't be the oasis of free thought and Democratic power that it was when I stumbled upon it. I would not feel the brotherhood and love that brought me sanity during the elections.
I don't think I'd see unified Democrats that kept the Senate and put Obama into power and then returned him there.
And that worries me because that is the first page of the Right Wing plan and it echoes the playbook of Fox News.
Divide them. Make them Angry. Make them despair. And while they are distracted, steal the election.

Faux News, et.al. spread LIES, but DUmbass DumRedneck can't name a single one.
Moan, whine, bitch.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
That's the DUmp playbook since 2001.
I LOVE DUmmies in misery! :lol:

I think I see the problem here...someone is a big whiny ***** who likes it in the ass.
Not that there's anything wrong with that....

Do you mean like when we said a white guy (actually hispanic/white/black) stalked (actually did not) and murdered in cold-blood (actually self-defense) a sweet, innocent, black angel (actually a thug with a history of issues)? Is that what you're talking about?
Shut up, bitch, until you learn to tell the truth.

As opposed to............ Romper Room?

I haven't seen a headline negative to the Obinga Junta, ever. Unless you're talking reality journalism as in AOSHQ, Hot Air. Breitbart, etc,....

Everything being reported is actually anti-Democrat. If,.......the truth is being told.
We know the deal.

Ain't that the truth, the primitives are always the victim.

I see the primitives have already forgotten they scolded DonnieFagBoi for his racist comments about hoping LA wouldn't burn like they did after the Rodney King police trial.

149 other channels on tv, and they bitch an moan about one.
:yahoo:

yeah there is.
I'm guessing you missed the sarcasm in that statement. Okay, just for you, I'll put a /sarc tag on it next time.

Remember when those pro-lifers tried to sneak in blood and tampons during the Texas abortion law debate? No? Me neither.

I believe liberalism will collapse under the weight of its own idiocy and that it is repulsive to attentive non-liberals.
Ergo my mole counsels unity and the vocal propagation of liberal policies.

Remember when those pro-lifers tried to sneak in blood and tampons during the Texas abortion law debate? No? Me neither.
Or when those damn pro-gunners gave out the incorrect address to George Zimmerman's house and a mob showed up wanting to kill him?

And Miss______________(fill in name of whatever Romper Room teacher you remember) used it to see those of us watching at home (I know this because she said so..."I see Paul and Susie and Bob..."). Lucky for me, I had a common enough game that she saw me a lot.
