Name... One Of The Greatest Posts, And One Of The Greatest Posters, You've Ever Seen/Met Here !!!

If I'm remembering correctly, back in the day, there was one poster who took our city and state info, and the incredible time... and worked out a marvelous graphic map of DU... worldwide.

(Wish I still had that link.)

I remember Theresa Heinze's/John Kerry's son posting here during the 2004 Election.

I remember a surviving family member Re: the last flight of Paul Wellstone, Wife, staff...

Thanking us for our support, and our supporting their distraught friend who spoke from the heart on TV, but made Republicans "uncomfortable".

I remember one poster here got pissed at the threats of surveillance on people who were marching against the Iraq War... posting his address and phone number as a major **** YOU to those threats... and HUNDREDS of us doing the same.

I remember meet-ups and Protest Marches, Golden Gate Park, and the Fox and Goose here in Sac-Town.

I remember Kephra, Andy, and too too many more gone now.

And meeting ProudPatriot, HellHathNoFury, Arcane1, Tinoire, WilliamPitt... and many others in toast and live discussion.

I remember when we cared enough to get along, to meet each other, work together, argue, YELL, laugh, and weep. And yes... VOTE.

Anybody else?

I really want to figure out a way to get TiT and Redstone into the mix.

This thread is going places baby!  Tried to insert a George Costanza image, didn't work. This is the type of shit that they live for, give it 24 hours to percolate.

TominTib will make an appearance, I'm just waiting.  I will gladly, and properly, burn a mole on this just waiting for the thread to get populated.

This shows just how demented you lunatics are...he was a political hack that jumped on a dead body to campaign.
Between this and booing Republicans that came to pay respects at a memorial service,you leftist freaks repulsed (as you always do when you let the mask slip) normal people.

1. Well, you did join before I did, my dear WillyT...

I didn't get here till 2005.

But I too have good memories of posters who moved me, who made me think, and who made me so glad that I'm a Democrat, and a damned liberal one at that.

I have learned much about the processes of politics since I joined DU.

What a ride it has been!  

I think the best writer I've met in person here is Will Pitt. His post on how he was bullied as a child was his very best post. It seared itself into my memory.  
Just like a boat ride in a far-eastern country.  :lmao: :rotf:

Plenty of gNads goodness in there, too.  :yahoo:

Well this is disappointing.  I thought the thread would get much more attention over there since they love to talk about themselves so much.

I remember some idiot making a post saying the Republicans lost the 2006 midterm elections intentionally to frame the Democratic Party for the recession, which was read aloud on the largest national radio show in the country.

Good times, good times.
