214. Oh, really?
Hey, I've been involved in the DLC. I make no apologies for that. That's how I met Janet Napolitano, who helped me pass a new law protecting victims of domestic violence in New Hampshire.
Misogynistic? Please ask the governmental affairs staff at the NH Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence and the Greater Manchester YWCA about my work on domestic violence policy. Ask the office of victim/witness services, who I helped keep afloat by changing their funding mechanism.
Homophobic? Ask my mentor and best friend from the House, who was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the country. Ask him about my work to save the state hate crimes law from a right-wing attack. Ask him about the op/ed I wrote supporting gay marriage, which surprised people given the fact that I am a socially moderate Catholic.
Abusive? Really? Because I fought back against people who smear good Democrats with rumor-mongering and whisper campaigns?
Whatever. Think what you want.
Cheers.
Self appointed important, anyone?
And this one.........

81. I don't know who is in what clique...
or who likes/dislikes whom. I do know that Lefty was really nice to me when I first joined (as were a couple other people) it's hard being the new kid on the block, he helped make it easier. I'm sorry to see him go.
I can tell there are tensions here in the lounge and other areas, I just don't know all the details. Don't know that I want to either, I finished high school many moons ago.
That being said, I do think it's really sad that he's gone now and there are people that post on this site, that also post on a conservative site that has an entire forum dedicated to trashing DU and it's members. They take great pleasure in finding out and posting real identities and personal info. These people trash DU folks, and give up things they might have found out while under the guise of being a friend. Maybe this has something to do with the different cliques; maybe there's a "mission" to split DU. I don't know. It's just bizarre to me.
Anyway, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Thanks for the opportunity Skinner.
Anyone who spends time here knows the
bolded is absolute Bull Shit!!!!!!!!!!
and for cripes sake, can ya fault us for makin' fun of monkeys slingin' poo?????????
