Ive been seeing it pop up in more and more places and now Snopes has verified it. They add that they dont understand it either.

(6,925 posts)It's an important juncture. If DU is quoted favorably as credible before it is attacked by trolls it's an enormous PR advantage. It's easy for critics with money and influence to find offbeat posts on forums, and paint the whole forum as offbeat.
There's a lot of thoughtful discussion here, and overcoming a generation of right-wing propaganda can be done if younger voters get their information from DU instead of the likes of a political propaganda and gossip network like Fox News.

In a way, maybe it is good that some of them snapped out of their zombie adoration long enough to realize how ridiculous it sounded, which is what initially caused them to attack the person who provided the actual quote.

(269,115 posts)Don't forget that the Con actually said it wasn't him on the Grab Them by the Pussy tape.
They just make shit up and call the truth 'fake'. And M$Greedia facilitates it when they repeat crap phrases like alternative facts - a fact is not an opinion. It is proven.
