I am beginning to think DU means Dean's Underground.

[Sweetpea]

The kind of bashing the other candidates get, if any of them are nominated seems like the Du's and ilk won't support them unless they are Dean.

Though I admit, I won't vote for Lieberman.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. In spite of the manner in which some stuff is posted

to which I have already objected on those threads...at least one can ferret through the SHIT and find out what they need to know to make an informed decision.

[Sweetpea]

2. I don't mind stuff that will question and push someone to perfect

their campaigns. But the name calling....GEEZ!!!!

[cprise]

3. Imagine if they received the kind of 'bashing' the Iraqis got

.

[Brucey]

4. I think

the Dean supporters are just excited and that's fine (we can cut a little slack for friends). There are lots of us (me included) who don't have a favorite candidate right now, like lots of them, with the exception of Joe, see the good traits of Dean and others, and know there's a long way to go and we have to support whoever gets the nomination. So, in the end we've got to hold together. That's why the bashing might be harmful, but on the other hand, discussion and emotions are fine and maybe even will get us further ahead. Got to get rid of Stumphead.

Really? What's the point of this thread?

More like a Dean-bashing free-for-all is all the rage.

[CMT]

5. you must not notice

all the anti-Dean threads?

[Patriot_Spear]

6. Yah Baby!

...couldn't help it. Sorry.

[TLM]

7. Look at the crap being posted about Dean...

threads like this are a good example of the Dean bashing:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=318159&mesg_id=318159


So of couse Dean supporters post to defend Dean against this garbage.

8. "Though I admit, I won't vote for Lieberman."

Then we're not that far apart. Maybe a post in support of your candidate would be more productive.

[Patriot_Spear]

10. I've thought about it...

It would be a struggle, right up to the time I walked into the booth- could I vote for Lieberman?

...I just can't say for sure. But I'm ABB- so that means if he gets the nod- I've pledged to do it.

[Squeech]

9. Nah, it stands for Draft Udall

There are partisans of all the candidates here. (Although we're a bit sparse on Lieberman fans.)

And note that much of Dean's success is due to his Internet presence, and this is an online forum, and, well...

[phishhead]

11. Yep.. Nobody bashes Dean on DU.

Those numerous hysterical anti-Dean threads must not actually be there?

[rock]

12. Well, this seems like just the thread

to make a statement that I've been thinking about for while. DU appears to me to be fairly unbiased as far as the dem candidates are concerned. Yes, they're biased against bush*sucks (but that's just good sense) and Lieberman (and that's good sense too). I don't have a strong preference for any one of the candidates and so consider myself a fair judge. To repeat: DU is not overly biased towards any one of the dem candidates.

[Woodstock]

13. It's only logical

14. So this is "DeanUnderground"??

15. The other candidates usually get bashed

in anti-Dean threads. It's only fair.

16. Thanks for puttin' that all together!

18. Reposted it as a thread over there, in order to put some

perspective on it. Those who can't see what is going on are deluding themselves.

17. SOME of the people here doing the bashing

won't be around after the nomination. And no, it's not 'cause they will have been banned. They're here for a reason and that reason will no longer exist by then.

19. I wonder whatever you could mean by that?

:freak:

So true.
