The people most responsible for the inappropriate level of vitriol on DU at the moment.

[Occam Bandage]

"What a strange game! The only way to win is not to play."

1. The fault lies with Obama for inviting Warren to give the invocation

and the outrage won't end until Obama either disinvites Warren, or Warren gets pelted by shoes while doing the invocation.

[Occam Bandage]

3. I propose a third possibility:

Warren gives his invocation. It is bland and unremarkable. Nobody remembers it, for ill or for good, past a week.

[EFerrari]

5. Millions of voters will remember it.

8. For about fifteen minutes.

Most voters (especially GLBT voters) have actual problems in their lives.

[EFerrari]

9. You have a very interesting theory of memory.

[Occam Bandage]

10. It comes from interacting with the world outside the netroots bubble.

[tkmorris]

11. You are a very insulting person when you try

I think there just might be a connection between that fact and the amount of vitriol on DU lately.

Edited to add: My post makes much more sense when you understand that the post I responded to originally contained "You should try it some time" in it's text. Nice edit!

[Occam Bandage]

12. I know. I only have two speeds. nt

[EFerrari]

17. No. It more likely comes from your over abundance of empathy.

19. If that long.

4. Right On - Obama Brought This On Himself - the Scorn Rests Squarely There

[liberalhistorian]

6. I didn't realize that Obama had to consult each

and every DUer before making any decisions-thanks for the "enlightenment".

7. No he can be the decider if he wishes to.

But how did you like the previous decider? My hope for Obama is that HE WILL listen and ask us our opinions. After all I am his boss.

2. Both!

[LeftCoast]

13. Hey...it's clear you couldn't give a fuck about gays and lesbians

Do you really need to post a thread an hour rubbing it in?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

14. I think it's mostly the ironic polls that get people stirred up.

[cliffordu]

15. Me. It's all my fault.

[AlCzervik]

16. the lack of equal rights is responsible.

[B o d i]

18. I'm pretty sure it wasn't me.

All I've posted so far was why I thought Bodi would make a great name for the new Obama puppy, but nobody replied yet.

Apparently I need some more posts first before some functions here work, like recommending threads, so, here's a post.

20. What's with all the stupid fucking questions in polls tonight?

Polls with only one answer, and now this. Either ask an intelligent question, or fuck off.

[madmadmad]

21. i am sorry i am angry that my president supports a man who hates me. so wrong of me.

i will try to HAPPY that the man i voted for has endorsed bigotry and hatred. happy, happy, happy.

[Bluebear]

22. Two polls by you with "vitriol" in them. Did someone give you a thesaurus for Xmas or something?

[AllentownJake]

23. Obama

[JVS]

24. Every poster is responsible for the vitriol he or she posts.
