Think - don't propagate. Don't be used.

Obviously there is an organized effort to spam the internets with the vile Larry Johnson bullshit that he has been floating for a while.

Alert the mods and don't respond.

Do not post directly on topic to explain or satirize it. All of those efforts simply keep the spam alive, keep it googled, keep it up. If ever let it sink made any sense, it does in this case.

Just my opinion on this. You are of course free to act as you wish. I'm just suggesting that you think first and then act.

edited because I stink at speling.

1. But what about the new meme?

I this your homework, Larry?



:hi:

13. TBL quotes always get me.

:rofl:

There's a quote for almost every occassion.

The Dude: "We're going to cut your dick off, Larry"

The Dude: "Fuck sympathy! I don't need your fuckin' sympathy, man, I need my fucking johnson!"
Donny: "What do you need that for, Dude?"

[blogslut]

16. Pay no attention to them Donny

They're nihilists.

2. This is really good advice.

DU is a moderated forum and this seems like a good time for the moderators to act.

4. I just signed on and I cannot believe how many posts there are about this non-existent shit.

Clearly, someone is trying to whip this crap up enough so people start believing it's true. Disgusting.

Your post is spot on.

[styersc]

5. Any posts that might offend an Obama supporter should be

eliminated and that poster should be banned. Maybe they can all go to RacistFansofAssasinationUnderground.com .

[endarkenment]

6. well no. That would be rather extreme.

This particular thing we are not discussing directly is complete vile bullshit and is an organized effort as well. That is why we should treat it differently.

[leftofcool]

11. Absolutely! DU can become a facist forum

[2rth2pwr]

17. Can't tell if this is sarcasm or sincere. But it does reflect the thinking of many Obama supporters.

[endarkenment]

18. no it doesn't.

[2rth2pwr]

19. yes it does.

[cliffordu]

20. Poor baby.....

sniffle.

[sandnsea]

23. That's how DU helped the swift boaters in 2004 n/t

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Totally, completely and 100% agree.

I was about to post something similar, but didn't want to add another thread to this crap.

Please, USE COMMON SENSE ON THIS. The rumor is now that this tape references Hurrican Katrina. If so, it means it is post-2005. Who is DUMB enough to think that the wife of one of the most up-and-coming Senators in the country would be that foolish. She's a Harvard educated lawyer for god sakes.

Also, if it did exist, the Clinton campaign would have gotten it aired. No ifs, ands or buts.

8. Excellent advice

By constantly repeating these lies we are doing exactly what they want us to do - making it a blog phenomenon that might be reported on in msm.

The fact that I keep seeing these posts over and over again makes me nauseus.

[K Gardner]

9. And most of the posts are being put up by Obama supporters.

[endarkenment]

10. Which is one reason why I posted. nt.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Good advice for population control, too. Think -- don't propagate.

Seriously well said!!

I wish more Americans would learn to think first, and then act, whatever the issue is. Don't just believe shit because Rush or Hannity or even Al Franken or Al Gore say it - look the shit up, research it, think about it.

Go to the source. Always, always, always, go to the source.

Like one of my greatest and favoritist professors said constantly during our seminar discussions, "Can you footnote that?"

14. "Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there."

--- Gary Cole as the Unctuous boss in Office Space

I think it serves our side well to attack fully and expose these lies before they become mainstream. If the pundits are to pick it up on the blogsophere, let them read what we have to say here about it BEFORE they start playing the tape.

"Why'd he" not "whitey" must be nailed down over and over.

[kid a]

15. i agree

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

21. remember this especially this week

thanks for the good advice

[nsd]

22. Kicking.

This is still a good idea. Let the RW trolls and the Clinton holdouts desperate (or unprincipled) enough to use this smear talk to each other.
