Please STOP Posting Right Wing TALKING POINTS as Thread Titles!!!!

[jackstraw45]

So sick of that new trend.

Post inflammatory LIES and then in th body say..."well, that's what the right wing says..."

Anyone else with me???

Stuff like:

Al Gore is Insane
How can you vote for a liar like Kerry

PLEASE!
:mad:

1. Hey...

chill out bud. Nothing to get angry about. :)

[jackstraw45]

4. Sorry..but I disagree

Some of us come to DU to GET AWAY from the vile lies of Rush & company.

To see their talking points constantly discussed as if they deserve our attention is one thing but to have thread titles, WITHOUT attribution, blasting democrats is just plain irritating.

It's my opinion but I think I'm entitled.

[Angelus]

6. I see your point..

but still. Don't raise your blood pressure over it. Click the little "x" by the thread if you're sick of it. :)

[jackstraw45]

15. Thanks for the tip...

Might start doing that.

[RC]

7. Sorry, But I agree. It is something to get upset about.

It is nothing but a ploy to get people to click on the post. This is not freepersvile. Why act like it is?

[Frances]

2. I don't like that kind of heading either

If I wanted that kind of sensationalism, I could listen to Rush

[diamond14]

3. there are HUGE numbers of interlopers here now...they also do

a whole LOT of Kerry-bashing....

it's very subtle, but very underhanded...all of them CLAIM to be Democrats first, then proceed to explain their deep concerns about Democrat Kerry becoming the PRESIDENT....

[jackstraw45]

5. Probably GOP staffers posting on here as part of their jobs....

Probably members from this crowd

[mike_c]

8. anyone not marching in shoulder-to-shoulder lockstep...

...is an "interloper" who "claims" to be a democrat? Now THAT's a big tent attitude!

on edit: why do I even bother? Demonizing people with opposing views is one of the oldest, and most effective, propaganda tricks. "GOP staffers" indeed!

[Ripley]

18. Exactly.

Just because I don't adore Kerry...BAM! I'm labelled freeptard. I just stay outa the Kerry threads cause I know there is no room for discussion.

Of course I'm voting for him, yada yada, but DAMNED RELUCTANTLY.

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. I've been called a repuke here for saying the same thing.

:evilfrown:

[emulatorloo]

20. Mike_C - "Divide and Conquer" is also one of the oldest repug tricks

Lets face the fact that there is a strong tradition of repug dirty tricks that are all about Divide and Conquer - and they attack from the left as well as the right. Anything, and I mean anything, to get their boy in.

I would say that there is a 99.999% chance that Karl Rove/RNC has operatives who are posing as "troubled progressives" in order to sow division between Dems so that BUSH WILL WIN.

9. i knew that CatWoman wasn't speaking for herself the thread

i knew that CatWoman wasn't speaking for herself the thread-title, "Al Gore is insane," so it didn't bother me.

[LittleApple81]

10. Actually, CatWoman has one today that says "Gore is Insane". And I would

NOT CALL CATWOMAN AN INTERLOPER!!!!!!
I usually don't like that type of heading but I can deal with it.

[Elidor]

12. I dunno - she's only been here a few years

Only 24,000 posts. I don't think we can trust her. I bet she bought that star as a cover! Yeah! That's it! She's an interloper! Yeah!

[CatWoman]

13. LOL

I can personally attest that I am not an interloper. :D

[babzilla]

11. disagree, deconstruction is very necessary in these times

deconstruction

n : a philosophical theory of criticism (usually of literature or film) that seeks to expose deep-seated contradictions in a work by delving below its surface meaning

[kentuck]

14. I think the rules still say that the poster must give his opinion..??

He cannot just post an anti-Gore or anti- Democrat post and not say what his position is. Tha is cause for delete. Am I wrong?

[Robbien]

16. For me, it makes GD a place to stay away from and just stick with LBN

It is creepy seeing RW talking points as threads so I tend to shy away from GD. I wonder if others are also less likely to visit.

[gristy]

17. When I see that I alert the mods or call the poster on it

The mod will sometimes lock the thread. Your second example is definitely a candidate for locking.

21. Hear, Hear! I Completely Agree n/t

22. Shrub's Face. Pictures of Shrub. Ugh.

Whether they're funny or stupid: Can't stand to see his face, and it's everywhere here and on Bartcop.
