Yeah, that's real cute.

Not a single one under 24,000 posts, no really, that's awfully reassuring. Thanks for the effort.

We never said it's not OK for a DUmmie in good standing to criticize the liar in chief.  He's not commie enough for DU.

Looks like that first link has little to do with Obama, more like a circular firing squad.

Oh, and I'm accused of moving the goal posts. I was assured that Mr. Allen over at DU has put the kibosh on any negative posts about Obama!  

And to answer your implication that large post counts equal protection from the ban hammer, what happened to Taverner and dfk?

I just scanned the links, but I came away thinking the same thing. They are criticizing him for not being socialist enough and not coddling terrorists enough. Essentially, he's not destroying things fast enough for them.

    No one ever said that DU wasn't corrupt and inconsistent, much like the Democrat Party itself. Some posters over there are politically connected and have enough pull and friends to stay around.
If you really want to impress someone here, show me a thread on DU which contains exactly the same vitriol toward 0loser as is directed at GWB, and show me that the thread lasts more than a few
minutes and its OP NOT banned.

    You should really do your homework before offering that mess as proof of anything.

Ok, I'll play, the only DUmmies that make headline for getting a pizza are high post count DUmmies but I see at least 2 or more new members every damn day with the user name "name removed".

What was the last high post count DUmmie prior to the two that you listed that got it's grave danced on? By the way that's an open question.

So exactly what threshold of post count and what threshold of anti-Obama language is going to stand up to your ridiculous standard of my contention that DU does allow criticism of Obama?

If you say under 100 posts--that's stupid. Since there are people (even on CC) who specifically create accounts to go over there and disrupt, DU SHOULD be on the lookout for disruptors.  Its mission is different than CC. Similar to how quickly Free Republic will ban people who are clearly espousing liberal views and deriding conservatives.

I'm appreciative the mods have let me stay on here as long as they have. I try to be a little more toned down than I was in the beginning when I came loaded for bear.  But for you to state DU absolutely brooks no dissent from a party line is inaccurate.

So will 1000 post threshold work? 500? And how critical must they be? You cannot rule out someone criticising Obama for allowing TPP or the like. That is still open criticism of the Democratic Party's leader.

Safety Kitten got to over 5100 posts. But I'm sure you'll now tell me that's not high enough.

What do you mean?  I said that SafetyKitten was another relatively high post count member who was banned within the past couple of months in answer to your question.

So......what else are you looking for?

I've noticed 2 groups on the island; the 100% Dear Leader cult worshipers (BOG) and the 99% Dear Leader cult worshipers (MannyGoldstein). You can stray, but not too far. When it comes time to vote, you better get in line. But that's the site and the type of members it attracts are the lock-step type.

Could somebody tell me what he is trying to prove or, rather disprove with this hot mess.  Is he trying to convince me DU is the quintessential free and open forum of ideas.  We have posted thread after thread of people getting tombstoned and even more threads with them whining about moles and trolls.  Is that the behavior of an open forum or even a sane group of people?

Nice work on the title.

If you read through the threads it is basically telling the OP is wrong or that it is right because Obama is too far to the right (HAHAHAHAHA).

At least you are trying to make cognizant arguments but not real good ones. I think there is hope for you.

I'm registered at DU and I'm above 15k posts but it took a huge amount of boot-licking.  You all are the most self absorbed, self congratulatory group of assholes that I have ever seen gathered in one space.  I hope that you and your friends get a virus and die from it.

Your willingness to subject yourself to people and ideas you can't stand just to say you can says more about your mental disease than it does that group. I will smile knowing there are fools like you expending your time in such a negative and unproductive way while driving ad revenue to DU your hated enemy.
