Now, as a forum Moderator on another site I had to deal with assholes posting asshole stuff all the time. I usually let the asshole's post stand, and browbeat said asshole with a 2x4. Sometimes we had to deleat a particularly vile post. BUT- what DU has done with the new jury system is HIDE post they feel are bad, so people can not see them... UNLESS the click view.
The point of this?
Make themselves feel good about taking a stand... sort of...

To stop drone killings, US should be �boycotted� [View all]
Sherwood Ross, Miami-based award-winning reporter of American Radio News, suggests ways to force the United States into stopping its "atrocious" drone assassinations in other countries namely Pakistan and Yemen.
In his interview with Press TV's U.S. Desk on Monday, he said �it is doubtful that the international law to stand up to the aggression of the United States.� So, he said, �what is required is a popular movement in all countries even to boycott American products.� �There must be non-violent techniques used to stop this atrocious international killing,� he said.
The United States was identified in June 2010 as the world's No. 1 user of targeted killings -- largely as a result of its dependence on unmanned drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The U.S. drone strikes have killed as many as 2,800 civilians in north-western Pakistan over the past seven years, according to Shahzad Akbar, Pakistani attorney and director of the Foundation for Fundamental Rights -- an organization that has investigated the U.S. drone operations in Pakistan.

Are the estimated deaths of 2,800 civilians and the label of #1 user of targeted killings something praiseworthy?
Seems like this post should be right up the DUmpmonkiez asses. Why was it hidden?

1. Terrorists.
That wake every day thinking of ways to kill innocent people should be boycotted. Until people calling for a boycott of the US for killing those bastards start putting the burden on those killers, I will continue to support drone strikes against them because I know that our soldiers, officers and CIA don't wake each and every day with the desire to kill innocent people if not stopped.
But, they are only fighting for their freedom from Amerikkkan Terror!?!
