In reply to the discussion: Is blatant anti-Semitism rampant here at DU? [View all]Douglas Carpenter
(20,226 posts)- loving self-deception better than reality. This poll above tells us that there are at least 89 DU members willing to intentionally try to trick themselves into believing that anti-Semitism is rampant on DU - Something so preposterous it insults intelligence. Then we find people from the other end of the spectrum claiming that DU bans people for being gay or supporting Palestinian self-determination - Equally removed from the world of reality and reason. I have plenty of problems with DU and how the admin has made some of their decisions - No doubt there are some anti-Semites, anti-Arab racist and homophobes on DU. But these charges of rampant anti-Semitism or banning people for supporting Palestinian self-determination or for being gay are not living in the world of reason and reality.
