"People can claim there are extremists in all groups but with the Democratic Underground, I think it's a requirement. As an FYI, not one person called any of these comments down. And you can claim extremism of Freepers but it's certainly not standard not to the standards of DU. And people actually condone this site. Go figure."

1. I guess we should all jump off a cliff now....

:)

[Toots]

2. He and Ben Stein are good buddies

Both are wingnut fanatics....

[peekaloo]

4. Kimmel's a freeper? He does some funny Boo$h smackdowns.

:shrug:

[EFerrari]

3. I'm shattered.

And I condone this site. :hi:

[ourbluenation]

5. The board has nothing to do with Kimmel...wingnuts post there

and one is apparently a lurker over here, pulling out a few distasteful threads to make some sort of statement on the DU members. None of the threads on that board seem to have anything to do with the Kimmel show????

Does this make you feel better, or good, or what? I really don't understand your point? Are you trying to say democrats are ____________ becasue of some wacko's at the DU?

Do you reallly wanna play this dumb game cuz this is NOTHING compared to the idiotic, racist, stupidity spewed all over freerepublic.com.

Does anyone else think this DU bashing is getting old?


Ohhh really! Well, I'd like YOU jtt to go to freerepublic.com and try to find one, JUST ONE "racist" remark! Just one. ;)

Btw, speaking of free speech, Ann Coulter had to cut her speech she was PAID to do by the U. of Conn on campus because the LIBERALS disrupted her there and turned up the PA system with boombox music when she started to speak.
Here's a post from the forum at freerepublic:

To: chudogg
At midpoint through her speech some liberals got a hold of the PA system and played a song through the speakers, I couldn't tell what it was. It effectively shut out Ann's speech

So the left supports free speech like they support the troops...

They only support THEIR right to free speech. Criticism of the government is tolerable "dissent" (except when it is Republicans speaking out during the Clinton years).

They'd pull the plug on talk radio if they could.

7. and the DU poster found two racists freep posts right away!

Waving to the DU/Kimmel poster!

:hi:

[Touchdown]

8. How does this mouth-breather know they were liberals?

Some students disrupted and booed Coulter (which she deserves). Did any of them pull out their liberal cards for this idiot to verify? Lots of people think Coulter is a nitwit, not just liberals.

"They only support THEIR right to free speech. Criticism of the government is tolerable "dissent" (except when it is Republicans speaking out during the Clinton years)."

Project much? Yeah, you were sooooo opressed during the Clinton years. You were never allowed to open your mouth for fear of being called a traitor, and Fox News did nothing but lick Clinton's boots.:eyes:

What world do these inbreds live in?

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Didn't you get the memo?

Anyone who boo's Ann Coulter or any other so-called conservative is automatically a liberal whether they are or not. :eyes: It's really lame. There are a broad range of democrats.

[JNelson6563]

20. Loud music?? Oh no!!!

You'd think people who got upset over a boom-box being turned on when Coulter spoke would also get upset when representatives in Congress have their mics turned off. Funny how that selective crying foul works.

31. Too bad that person was unaware

of some of the racist comments on FreeRepublic made by one of the lead Swiftboat people.

[Cha]

9. Some people think it's

"extreme" if you care about your country enough to get active..and quell horror :wow:..even expose the truths of the underbelly of our goverment sleazeballs.

I read in Rolling Stone that Jimmy Kimmel's girlfriend is Sarah Silverman..she doesn't strike me as the type to hang with a wingernut.

[AlCzervik]

10. do people actually watch his show? I think we are dealing with a very

small, almost invisible minority here.

[Lex]

11. Jimmy Kimmel's message board?

Oh my.

[AngryOldDem]

17. Jimmy Kimmel?

Wasn't he the host of that esteemed series on Comedy Central, "The Man Show"?

And wasn't Ben Stein hosting "Win Ben Stein's Money," when he wasn't doing "TV's Greatest Game Show Bloopers"?

I bow down in humble tribute to two obvious giants of political commentary.

[Lex]

21. Yes, precisely what I was thinking.

What about J Lo's message board? Wonder what it says? :crazy:

[nini]

12. I never did like him but didn't really have a reason until now

FUCK YOU JIMMY.

WHY AREN'T YOU IN IRAQ BUDDY???? You're not too old.

[ourbluenation]

16. Calm down - Kimmel has nothing to do with it. It's wingnuts on the board

[ourbluenation]

26. self delete

[nini]

23. fine.. but don't tell me to calm down

that pisses me off.

just correct the OP and I'll be fine accepting that.

[ourbluenation]

27. Dude - you were screaming in caps - I was afraid for your blood pressure

that's all!

Let's go get a drink.

:toast:

[nini]

29. I'm no dude either.. :D

the drink will work :toast:



thanks and sorry.

[Touchdown]

13. Where's his link to this DU thread?

I went through both pages of him alleging that NOBODY called these posters out on wishing Thatcher dead. Not one liberal over there challenged him to back that assertion up with a link. They're just letting him get away with defining the debate on his terms, and trust that he (an admitted conservative) is telling the truth.

I can use the search function here, but he's the one who's outraged. How outraged was he when Bush was in Wisconsin on a campaign run, saying that Bill Clinton was in the hospital having bypass surgery, and his political sheep at the rally booed Clinton? How many posts on FR wished Clinton dead from "complications"?

[ourbluenation]

15. Here's the link to the Thatcher thread - they didn't get called out.

[Touchdown]

19. I didn't want you to do it. I wanted him to.

...and I saw that. He's making the charge, he's got the burden of proof. It's a principle thing with me. :hi:

There is one post that called them out, but it's quite recent.

[Marr]

14. I don't understand- that's not Jimmy Kimmel, just some random

internet user posting on Jimmy Kimmel's message board. He/she seems to suggest they're a Freeper themselves. So I don't get why people are shocked. I mean, Freepers post on lots of boards.

[ourbluenation]

18. She is a regular poster there who has a habit of calling out DU

Her name is Caterpilars or something like that. She tried to make a statement on the DU members by pulling out selective somewhat bitter posts here at the DU.

[Marr]

24. That's cool. I just want to point out to DUers here that it's not Kimmel

making those comments. Some people seem to be assuming that.

I like Jimmy. He's funny. I've been a fan of his since he first started, as a regular caller to the Kevin and Bean show in Los Angeles. He's great.

[Dark]

22. No, we don't always call them out. We put them on 'ignore' instead. n/t

[Yollam]

28. Kimmel seems like a decent, funny guy.

Adam Carolla, on the other hand, is extremely unfunny.

[Lex]

30. Adam Corolla is offensive and unfunny.

If you are going to be offensive with your comedy, is *has* to be, at the least, funny.
