368. Here's the problem.

The polarizing language about the president makes a good faith discussion on the merits extremely difficult. You are a smart guy, and you knew that echoing the insult that you used in the previous shitstorm would get exactly the response you got. I didn't particularly appreciate the last shitstorm, and I'm not going to get much utility out of this one either. This one thread isn't the end of it -- there are going to be a half a dozen other threads that get started over the next few days to rehash the appropriateness of calling the president names.

Obviously, you received a lot of blowback for your last thread, and you are receiving a lot of blowback for this thread. I am not so naive to think that you or anyone else would actually back down in the face of that kind of resistance -- to do so would feel like admitting weakness. And I know you're not going to back down simply because the administrator of DU expressed his distaste for insulting the president -- here on DU I am The Power, and a good progressive can't be seen to be backing down from Speaking Truth. I get that.

I'm just hoping that maybe next time, when you or anyone else on DU is thinking about starting a thread in which you insult the president, you think about those of us who don't really appreciate it. I'm not telling you what to do. And I'm not trying to score points here. What I'm trying to do is simply to share a piece of information with you: Some of us don't like seeing the president insulted. What you choose to do with that information is entirely up to you.

378. Will you extend that rule of not insulting the President

when we inevitably get a Republican in the WH? Or will the rule be, it's ok to call a Republican a used car salesman, but not ok when a Democrat holds the office? (Looks back at the eight years of Dubya, when we called him well Dubya, Presnit, used car salesman, and those where the mild ones)

Because you know what? This is why some of us are seeing quite a bit of hypocrisy here.

And do not worry, some of us really do not start threads anymore, and it has a lot to do with this precise hypocrisy. We really do not feel like tilting at windmills. (oh and that word is guaranteed to bring forth personal attacks from the happy band of cyberstalkers I got)

And I was right, the swarm is coming out.

Nor do I expect a response from you.

That is ok.

It is what it is. Why Alexa continues to drop

402. After calling DU a cesspool

I don't think you have much of a leg to stand on here.

I didn't notice you slowing down in your posting of threads lately. For goodness sake since you've starting just posting pics and crap you find on Facebook you've never had more DU Recs.

476. To be fair

She also said she had more respect for the guy who ran FR, than she did for Skinner.
So, at least there is consistency I suppose.
Oh, and she called out Skinner's wife too.
Lovely.

413. Poor Dubya? The only one complaining about this form of "hypocrisy" is you

This is a partisan site for Democrats. Why do you keep making this inane point that Republicans should be accorded the same level of respect as Democrats here and why does that even have to be explained to you?

nadinbrzezinski (131,873 posts)
417. No it is not just me that sees this as a form of hypocricy

care to read the rest of the thread?

It is not just me.

But if we are going to prevent people insulting the President, it should be the office, not the person. This means, regardless of occupant, you do not hurl insults, and do not call either man a used car salesman. Of course, you are also asking an editorial writer not to do what is in the fine tradition of editorial writers going back to oh Washington. Do not, I repeat this, do not, read editorials from the civil war, for example. They will make you blush. Trust me, this one is mild.

I know, that is a fine distinction many here do not understand.

One of multiple reasons I keep real meat out of this place anymore.

What a disgustingly condescending twit.

Our moles can stand on the sideline for the most part and watch them chew each other apart...priceless!

Tune in tomorrow, folks, to see what the next manufactured outrage will be.

What we have here is a DUmmy of the Year strutting her stuff!

I guess some people are happy that she's keeping her real meat out of the DUmp.

Her real meat is on display at her blog, where no one is allowed to comment.

Heh yeah, this is an interesting snapshot.

Skinner rears his awful head, some folkes run for Skinners apron strings, some other folkes remain defiant.

This is going to get better before the bloodletting begins.

Skinner is speaking softly but if you cannot sense the big stick then you are risking becoming extinct on *his* island.

[franksolich]

Well now, who ought to be banned?

Bill or the cousin?

For the way she talked to my fellow alum Skins, I think the cousin's eminently ban-worthy.

Some of us don't like seeing the president insulted.

Well that's not true. Archives of DU from 2001-2009 say differently.

David Allen needs to be reminded that his circumstances and those of other primitives like Andy Stephenson and Doug Bulna could cross paths should we so desire.

I missed the post where she attacked Mrs. Skimmer.

What's up with that?

Skins is pleading with the drunken fool to not put him in the fix he is.
Nads is looking to ride Pittstains coattails of power should he emerge untouchable.
Will the Drunk just opened another bottle of Jack.
Heads up to Gothbuttface...you demented lunatics don`t need us to have chaos.
It is what leftism brings.

Me too.

Maybe it was on the DU facebook?

I think that Skinner is pleading with Will to STFU.

I also think that nadin is on much thinner ice, they have tangled a couple of times in the past and Skinner was rather short with her.

The best thing Skinner can do is to lay down the law one more time, if that doesn't work...heads must roll.

They locked up their little Facebook forum though, Frank. I was not a member, and really have no desire to be. However, insulting Skin's wife??? That should be grounds for an extra large with everything on it.

Notice our policy here.

It's okay to bash a primitive, not a primitive's spouse, parents, or children if they aren't primitives.

This doesn't even have to be a rule, because decent and civilized people just follow it naturally, without being told.

[Revolution]

I'm sure though, it doesn't go the other way round. For instance, if you or I were to talk about a family member in dire straits, and a primitive of prominence found it to be extra "crunchy," they would most likely have no problems bring it back to the hive for all to see.

Double standards, hypocrisy, and all that.

That's the primitives all right.

And they've already done it before.

Double standards, hypocrisy, and all that.

Even during the heat of a hot political campaign two years ago, the DUmpster didn't say a single nasty word, or even a nasty vowel, about the big guy in Bellevue's wife, children, or grandchildren.

Only about the big guy himself.

[GOBUCKS]

I think a DUmmy spouse is ipso facto a DUmmy.

Nearly all of them have DUmp accounts anyway, but be that as it may, a normal person could not possibly live with a DUmmy.

 here on DU I am The Power

Well Dave, in my experience leaders who go around beating their chest proclaiming they're the leaders aren't really leaders.  True you may have the magic tombstone button, but there is more to leadership than that.   All this little incident is proved is how you get punked by certain members of your asylum, in this case the Pittstain.
