Dear Conservative Cave Dwellers: The Car Thread? Seriously?
   
As you know, the folks over at Conservative Cave have set up a section called "The DUmpster." They copy links to DU threads, and snark at them. Now, I get that when one is talking about issue or candidate threads. But cars? I asked a question about my 2006 Taurus not starting.

http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,47297.0...

"primitive has problems with automobile battery"

I've got to say that I'm honored to be of interest, although I agree with their poster Franksolich that I'm no Omaha Steve (he sings Omaha Steve's praises in this thread http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=21705.0 ).

But these guys really started a thread over my car? In fact, their lives are so boring, that I got this blast of hot air from "PatriotGame."

"Douse your 'lack of scheduled maintenance' DUmmy-Mobile with gasoline, toss a lit match at it, and walk away.
You poison the environment enough just by existing. You don't deserve to own let alone drive a car. Be a good DUmmy and depend solely on public transportation, hypocrite."

:crazy:

So, by way of response

Dear Cave Dwellers:

1) When you need car repair advice over there, listen to JohnnyReb. JR said it was starter drag, and he was right. Of course, I could just be messing with your conservative heads, trying to get you to take bad advice. We Dems are sneaky that way. But no, really, it was the starter. The battery, in fact, still cranks strong, is showing no signs of sulfating, survived another Nebraska winter, and hasn't exploded.

2) My experience has been that on "maintenance free batteries", the covers over the cells (I still call them caps, but they are really covers) can generally be popped off. The cover generally goes over 4 cells, and can be lifted with a thin bladed screwdriver.

3) I have an Interstate Battery on my F-150, and it's survived Florida summers and Nebraska winters. Of course, once again, I could just be messing with you. Perhaps you'd prefer to pick up a battery at Wal-Mart...or maybe the dealer -- because the dealer, as you all know, always offers the best prices, and is completely truthful about your vehicle repair needs.

4) If you're going to represent a website by invoking the name of a Nebraska coach, use a good coach. Frank, change your screen name to TomOsborne or BobDeVaney. If you choose to keep that screen name, realize that you are doomed to do a good job, only to be replaced by a poster named BillCallahan.

5) I'm not complaining. Hell, most of the people on your site discussed the topic with some degree of seriousness. The only poster who was nasty was the one saying I should set my car on fire and that I didn't deserve to own a car. One other poster said I was too cheap to pay for dianostic tests, which is not true; I said up front the battery had been load tested.

What I don't understand is why a car thread on DU would be worth following? Didn't you guys have something better to do, like re-reading "Decision Points" or watching "The No-Spin Zone?"

How many posts does it take to get to the tootsie roll in the center of a tootsie roll pop? Oops I mean how many posts does it take to get a mention of CC locked?

3!

3. We've decided to lock this thread.
   
It does Democratic Underground no good to draw traffic to sites like Conservative Cave.

2. You have to realize that those people are a bunch of obsessed wannabes without any real lives

They all yearn to post here, but know full well that they's be TS'd in a heartbeat the second they'd start up with their shit.

They're pretty much nothing more than a bunch of pathetic, attention whoring losers.

Don't feed the trolls, Man.

Oh Yeah… IBTL!

Damn, Omaha Blue Ball, you've got over 1000 posts. You should know by know that you can't mention this place (that place that shall not be named) in the sensitive confines of the DUmp. Prepare to have your thread sent down the memory hole once Winston gets back.

It's actually archived.  I was scoping around the DUmp, and got curious.  Found this old thread still there.

Damn skippy it doesn't. If moonbats are shown the truth they might leave The Hive. Donations will go down, and before you know it, there goes that Occupy Aspen's Ski Slopes der $kimmenfuhrer was looking forward to.

Dear DUers, we are the people out for a pleasant day at the zoo, and you are the inhabitants of Monkey Island.  It isn't that hard to figure out. 

We occasionally feel helpful when you are stuck on real problems (Some of us anyway) and we know the Dumpster is irresistible, so we bring those over in the knowledge that the lurkers will show you the helpful info.

"I don't think there is a single blog out there I read that hasn't at least once linked to Democratic Underground's Forum. The place is like a train wreck of human thought; you just can't help but gawk at their twisted logic and wild-eyed conspiracy theories. I've even ended up becoming addicted to the site; anytime there is breaking news, I think, "I wonder what the nuts are saying about this," and head straight for DU. It's like a daily freak show."

I know what you mean, every time I hear a nooz story on Faux Snooze radio, I can't wait to get home from work and see how the DUmmies are responding.  :-)
