Kerry-bashing is everywhere
I'm a regular poster at CGCS, which grew out of Kerry's forum on his old campaign web site. In fact, I spend quite a bit more time there than at DU. Usually there's very little Kerry bashing that happens over there, since most of the members are Kerry-friendly. But we've got ourselves a few real Kerry-bashing trolls lately. I guess spending all that time over there, I'd forgotten how nasty they can be. Maybe I should spend some time on DU:GD, so I can grow some thicker skin.

1. Did somebody drink some Kool-Aid over there?
It's been pretty rough over there today.

10. Yeah well
I've had that fight before too. And that's all I'll say about that.

:argh:

Exactly right.

7. They started up shortly after the election
It's run by the former admins and mods from the old Kerry-Edwards campaign forum. So there are a lot of Kerry supporters over there. Sending JK their equivalent of floatie hearts is kind of frowned on. They take themselves kind of seriously. But they are a good bunch of folks. One of the controversial things that is happening there right now is that at the end of March, they are going to a paid-subscription model to keep the site going. It's just $7.95 a year, and they do have some cool features. You'll still be able to read the site for free after that. But you won't be able to post unless you're a paid subscriber.

4. I used to hang out over on CGCS
I was mostly a lurker. However, now that I've found this group, I spend more time here than anywhere else - I guess I just feel safer here :P I generally find CGCS to be sufficiently pro-Kerry, but I guess the exception proves the rule.

Alerted on them. On one I even posted in ATA because it was so bizarre and hadn't been removed, but the response had been.

15. I think anyone who Kerry bashes is trying to compensate for . . .
their own short comings. JK is on the job and smoking. I couldn't be prouder of him. He is doing just what I thought he would, and that is why I voted for him. Damn he is a hard worker. Makes me want to work harder also. He's inspiring!

Been a while since I posted at DU it's been busy! Seems like I'm signing petitions a lot lately though. Our Dems have been all busy. Must support all of their good efforts.

I'm worried about ANWR. Honestly, I'm worried about a lot of things that these Neo-con Rethugs and the Bush Crime Family are doing. They are absolute sickos, every last one of them! We have to save the country. So much to do.

Hope everyone spirits are staying up for the fight.
