An easy way to spot questionable posters on DU...sort on Author
and just review the posts. Is there a disruptive, bandwith-wasting theme to them?

In other words, a pattern of deception...like Bush every time he opens his mouth.

10. The Kennedy brothers (John and Bobby) loved Joe McCarthy
1950, February 9 - McCarthy made an electrifying speech at Wheeling, West VA, that he had a list of Communists in the State Department. By July he was a major political force. John F. Kennedy told Harvard students that "he knew Joe pretty well, and he may have something." In February 1952, John Kennedy called McCarthy a "great American patriot." In 1953 Bobby Kennedy joined McCarthy's staff and McCarthy was godfather to Bobby's first child. Bobby was always loyal to Joe.

5. Since I'm also fascinated by sociology, it also proves an interesting...
...study in human psychosis. Just Search a name, and review what they've had to say. Contradictions, patterns, droning on and on with straw men...

9. Your opinion only counts.......
If I agree with it. Many, many crybabies in here anymore. Its getting to be that the crybabies are more obnoxious than the "Questionable" posters
