DUmmy TIQE is flattering himself:

By trolling conservative fringe sites, am I part of the problem?
By egging them on with stories about how Obama is Malcolm X's clone or how the dinosaurs are coming back from the hollow earth to kill us all in 2012 because our Edenic ancestors enslaved them?
Is it wrong to put more idiocy out there rather than trying to defuse it?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7960870I suspect DUmmy TIQE thinks he's "trolling conservative fringe sites" when he leaves comments on newspaper sites and MSNBC.com. He's way too stupid to last five minutes on a conservative forum.

it's fun though, to see how far they'll go.
Not so fun, maybe, when you find out in the news they've shot up another church or whatever on the basis of some lunacy they've read online.
Yes, conservatives are notorious for their hatred of Catholics, Protestants, and Jews, and especially those leftwing, liberal fundies.
Poor, stupid Beth hasn't posted any recipes for McDonald's ketchup packets yet, but they're coming. Right now, she just has sensitive eyes:

2. I don't know how you guys do it. It's enough to make your eyes bleed.
It would make my eyes bleed to be crammed into a little camping trailer, on an abandoned goat farm out in the California desert, with two other mentally-ill people and two big smelly dogs.

5. Well, you aren't doing anything to help yourself, anyway.
It sounds like a colossal waste of time! I feel guilty enough wasting time on DU, but at least I'm engaging in / reading sincere, informed discussions that are true to my perspectives.
Playing a video game sounds like time better spent than trolling RW sites.

7. How funny
It never even occured to me to go to their sites. I can't stand the smell of bullshit. And hate is so damned ugly. I can hardly even go to WaPo to get my mainstream news.
This is almost a guarantee that the misspelled DUmmy meowomon spends every waking hour at FR.

11. I can't follow threads in their poorly-designed websites. It's awful.
To me, the really horrible website designs are the DUmp and FR. Other sites, including this one and Ronbot Central are very well laid out.

DUmmy kestrelnumbers gives an example of why we call them DUmmies:

13. IMHO DU is VERY user-friendly, especially if you donate and get a star
so that the ads go away for the most part.

14. YES!
TIQE, I'd tried to educate 'conservatives' in the past. There are a few with whom one can discuss things, but ultimately I believe you are wasting your time.
I don't believe they will pay attention to info from 'equals' on message boards.
I cannot for the life of me fathom why anyone would carry on a conversation with a Ronbot, or with the vicious, vile creatures of the DUmp. If I were running a site, they would be banned as quickly as a vocal Palinite at the DUmp.
