'Bill Clinton is a rapist'

[denem]

Flamebait or not
I have asked the Mods to delete my account.
If this is what goes to support a candidate
(and I favor Obama)
I want no part of it.

Yeah I know
Waahhhhh.
cya.

1. Yes, that is indefensible. But so is the "high tech lynching" of Barack Obama on this board. None

of it is excusable, by any stretch, but for some reason it is all allowed.

[LostinVA]

7. Saying that cheapens the real meaning of "lynching"

[SIMPLYB1980]

10. I believe it was a long time DU'r that accused Clinton of lynching Obama.

If anyone is playing "high tech lynching" it Obama supporters on DU.

[K Gardner]

15. Actually, this comment was taken straight off of commentary on MSNBC.. a major media outlet. It is

not personal opinion, but opinion of many, aired on national TV.

17. KGardner by you defending this OP

speaks VOLUMES. And this OP is not right. This is the mean and the typical ROVIAN style of smear, and character assassination. I don't think people would like Obama being called a BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP. Because if someone did, they would be T.S. Yet, this thread continues to stay. The Clinton supporters already know what the Obama camp is up to smearing the internet with anti-Clinton propaganda.

18. I'm NOT by any means defending the OP ! You've misunderstood me..

saying what was said that offended the OP was WRONG ! And yes, it SHOULD be deleted off this board if it hasn't already been. I haven't seen it.

My point was that indefensible things have been said from both sides, the majority of them not deleted or locked. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

:hi:

Edited to add this link, for example of indefensible, not locked:

19. Oh ok, sorry, I misunderstood you

I apologize about the "volume thing". I saw this thread and I about fell on the floor. Sorry Gardner. :hi:

[K Gardner]

23. No problem.. I've done 'knee jerk' more times than I'd like to admit too. That's part of the

problem of trying to read here these days.. I think it squashes my "better angels" :-)

[rodeodance]

20. No need to Bring this crap here!! and you know it!

[TheDebbieDee]

2. Come back in the fall.....things shoud be better around here by then!

At least I HOPE so! ;^)

[Beacool]

8. It'll depend on who is the nominee.

Many of us might just sit this one out if it's Obama.

[UALRBSofL]

13. You know this is a sick post

I alerted the monitors about the OP and also about the poster who said lynching as well. Everyone alert the mods. This sick thread should be gone. BTW, they shouls T.S. these two individuals. Sick I tell ya, just sick.

[polmaven]

24. I am pretty sure that the OP

was quoting a comment in another thread to show why he/she is leaving this board. I don't think it was an actual statement BY the OP.

[havocmom]

3. Why not just challenge anyone who posted that to put up or shut up

and alert on it?

Thinking we can control what others say here is sorta naive. Much better to let any idiots post drivel then demonstrate WHY it is drivel. That method is much more educational to other readers of DU.

[denem]

5. He / she is a long time Du'er

= a free pass. I'll come back as a newbie sometime, and expect to be held to the DU rules which seem to have gone out the window if you here before 2006.

[JohnnyLib2]

9. I admire your action.

Sad, though. Come back in better times.

[blogslut]

12. did you alert on the comment?

?

[havocmom]

16. Insist (within rules) that they provide link to acceptable evidence of claim

and alert. Do have patience re mod response to alerts. Those good people are not paid and they aren't on here 24/7. Sometimes stuff happens when no mod is logged on and when they get here, it does take some time to sift through things. Give them a chance.

I know many posters who have been here since before 2004 who have been banned for breaking the rules repeatedly. If the mods don't seem to be responding over a period of time, email the admins.

4. Isn't a "lamprey" a suckfish?

[rodeodance]

6. YES, FLAME=BAIT

[JimGinPA]

11. Try To Keep Up

:eyes:

[rucky]

14. Again, the meta-thread gains steam as the original sinks.

These things sort themselves out naturally if we let 'em.

[redqueen]

21. Oh for God's sake.

[MethuenProgressive]

22. Just Hit 'alert' and 'ignore' more often than you hit 'reply'

[elixir]

25. Oh, the Obama supporters eating their own. Just another day on DU.
