Reply #3: I'm with you- I dont even know why Lieberman & Bush Sr. defenders are still at DU. [View All]

They have done nothing but make this place suck.

Imagine my suprise a s a poster for many years- when I came to DU one day and was told "Liberals like you are crazy" or something to that effect. Wha? "Liberal" being used in the negative- at DU???? Besides, I'm a moderate.

I thought it was a fluke- but then it kept coming. Next I was being called "far left looney" and "out of touch" for opposing Bush/DLC positions on Iraq, or asking why DEMS dont call him out when he lies- or having the GALL to question failed DLC/Bluedog led, Donna Brazille type "strategy" that lost us 3 elections in a row.

Again, I assumed it was a fluke- some disruptor that the mods had not noticed yet.

Next thing I know they are a full contingency at DU- to the point where they were OPENLY and PROUDLY supporting Joe Lieberman- this was even AFTER he threatened to go 3rd party if Lamont won-and after he beat the DEM as well.

This really sickened me, considering how I had joined some of the same "moderate" DUers in arguing against Nader voters- I thought that if anything, they were at least loyal party DEMS when it came down to that- but they were dishonest even about that.

Yeah- it pisses me off too- being Liberal or progressive, or an anti-Bush moderate didnt used to be a reason to be attacked here.
