THIS JUST IN: Hugo Chavez is hottest topic on DU

[JeffR]

In other news, there's an election less than two months away.

1. GD tends to be a "topic of the day" kind of place but

of course not exclusively.

[JeffR]

4. As topics of the day go

this one is ridiculous. I'm sure they spent much less time talking about this in the West Wing today than people have in this forum.

7. Were you here when the Croc hunter guy died?

There were quite a few days centered around that topic too.

People like to talk about what they like to talk about. Usually involves what's on the news at the time as far as I can tell.

[JeffR]

8. I avoided GD like the Plague during the Irwin post-mortem stuff

Thought it was safe to come back, but apparently not!

17. Hugo Chavez is the most exciting and innovative leader

in the Western Hemisphere at the moment. Ridiculous to spend a whole day thinking and talking about him.

11. To be perfectly fair...

his supporters would have you think there's nothing more important, either, judging from the number of PRO-Chavez threads and the volume of posts that are in agreement...so, are you saying those people are right-wing trolls, too? Or do those people get a pass for giving this more attention than it deserves, while those who disagree with them DON'T? Nice double standard you have, if that's the case.

Yes, Bush is a dangerous fuckwit. We know. It's not news that Chavez said so. This doesn't deserve the attention it's getting from either side.

3. Hmm... "Hot For Hugo"... I Like It !!! - Still...

As you say... election less than two months away.

Eyes on prize here!

18. BWAHAHAHAHAHA...

That is so funny!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: It's so true.

9. Chavez has ALWAYS been a "hot topic" on DU...

for as long as I've been here (5+ years).

And if we've had truth-telling leaders like Chavez in the Democratic party for the past 40 years, we wouldn't need to be worried about the upcoming elections.

12. I hate hot topics

Though I did have a morbid curiosity about all the "Mel Gibson arrest" threads...:eyes:

[DianaForRussFeingold]

13. Seriously I Didn't Notice!

I only open the posts that interest me. I am more concerned about stolen elections and october surprises and our troops safety. There are so many worthwhile topics on DU that I don't have to bother with the stupidity of some third rate name calling president! :sarcasm:

[Vidar]

14. More political than Steve Irwin at any rate And it's delightful to

hear a politician who won't cowtow to Little Boots, unlike far too many democrats.

[Greyhound]

16. You're right, do you think we can elect him?

:rofl:

[LittleClarkie]

19. What's he running for? Congress?

He's doin' a heck of a job.
