(30,439 posts)She played the part of anti-NSA very well, but it was a charade.
She was very much supportive of many of Bush's war on terror policies when I joined citing instances of Al-Qaeda attacks. She even opposed the ground zero mosque.
Her main objective was to attack Obama any way she could.

DKF never got to the top of the greatest threads as far as I know.. so she was never a thorn in my side like she was with you guys. I never had much discourse with her posts and found her lacking.
Dance on.... its a good thing I guess.
Hell I've celebrated the many trolls myself who I tangled with that got canned.
I took out

(135,425 posts)are considered "right wing." By a small, strident crew of purists, anyway.
How dare we compromise to get the majority in both Houses of Congress? How DARE we be pragmatic so we can prosecute the President's agenda! No, no...we must stand on principle, and get reamed every damn day of the year, not get a single thing we want, because we don't dare be ideologically "impure."
It's a load of steaming horseshit, that argument--and it's one that people "trolling from the left" use most frequently.
Anytime a Democrat gets elected, it's BETTER than a Republican getting elected. Anyone who doesn't see that has a serious comprehension problem.

As for the NSA Surveillance Program, opposition to it is a cornerstone theme over at the CATO Institute, which is Koch-funded, but, eh, whatever.
I am the first to acknowledge that genuine Dems can disagree over specific issues, but when you run into a person who is constantly berating every single Dem in office for not being "left" enough, and shitting on every platform plank, urging everyone to abandon the possible in favor of impossible pipe dreams, depressing the vote, being a constant source of negativity when it comes to Democrats in office or the legislative goals... well, if ya don't smell a rodent, ya aren't inhaling!

(135,425 posts)That way people will know you--unless you don't want them to, that is.
You look like you showed up last month on your profile, thanks to transparency that is DU3. When you start talking like an old schooler with a profile that is a month old, it sets off alarms. The default thought is "sock using the wrong persona," frankly--we've seen enough of that in election years past.
Skinner has said that people can abandon their old usernames and start anew, but most people who do that let others know. I wouldn't blame anyone who had, as a username something that , say, was cheering on John "What a disappointment" Edwards for wanting to change their name one bit. Other usernames just are dated, and don't wear well over time. Some folks are loath to abandon their post count, but others don't care.

The troll thing is troubling to me in a couple of ways, one because people are actually coming here to cause trouble which makes no sense, and two people here accuse good people with good intentions of being trolls.
It also seems like many of the long term members are always skeptical of any of us with fewer than 10,000 posts .
I enjoy my time here.
Rebellious Republican
(5,029 posts)Many here are not in your face democrats, some are, some are not even democrats, it goes with the big tent idea. People have been trolling here since the early days, some of us are used to it and us old timers know how to spot them. Usually they have low number post counts and not much longevity, they also use certain sources and or make comments which begs for further scrutiny. Which would explain the 10,000 post thought. As far as putting people on ignore, I have never done that. I fear they may have something to say that would never have occurred to me. If they are trolls, then they will not last long here, so why bother. All I can offer, is develop a thick skin if you intend to stick around for a while. People disagree and debate various topics on DU, thats what makes DU a great place to come and LEARN. I can honestly say that I have grown as a person through the discussions here. I love DU, its my place of higher learning, even if I get flamed once in a while. I have had my ass handed to me more than I can count, but it made stop and think. A newbie posted this the other night and I enjoyed what this young person had to say, I will gladly share it with you.

And in every disco, there was some dude selling coke, and over by the bar, or hanging out near the women's restrooms, an old guy with the affect of a child molester in a leisure suit with the medallion tucked in a rat's nest of graying chest hair, divorced or separated, always trying to score with "the young chicks."

(30,439 posts)Her opposition to the NSA was a charade. She was a big time supporter of "the war on terror". She even opposed the ground zero mosque a few years ago.
The only reason she took the anti-NSA lately position was to attack Obama.
Her entire objective was to attack Obama any way she could.
And she definitely had you fooled.

(20,818 posts)to do was see her username to know the kind of RW bullshit she'd be spouting. While she always irritated the hell out of me, her complete cluelessness regarding public education and what teachers endure every single day, and her relentless cheerleading for charter schools and constant bashing of teachers, REALLY pissed this daughter of teachers off.
And you could ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS rely on her to defend any illegal actions of police officers, no matter how unwarranted, brutal unprovoked and inexcusable it was. I believe she even defended the police who murdered the African immigrant in New York City several years ago with FORTY ONE shots, thinking that he was getting and holding a gun when he was holding his fucking wallet and minding his own goddamned business. I'm sure she'd stridently defend this cop who murdered the 13-year-old boy this past week.
She also took great pains to stridently defend any civilian who killed a minority, no matter how unprovoked and inexcusable (including, I believe, that motherfucker in Florida who killed the unarmed teen in the car with "loud music", using a bullshit SYG "defense" shortly after the Martin shooting). I believe her catchphrase was "we don't know all the facts yet", even AFTER the discovery and trial were over and all the lights had been shut off. SOOO glad to see her finally gone.

(20,226 posts)I have some strong reservations about the ACA myself - not as virulent as DKF - but still some very strong reservations - I am crossing my fingers and hoping it works well and at least turns out to be a major improvement over the status quo.
However, it there is more to it than just being an ACA skeptic - then maybe there are other solid reasons for tombstoning them.

leftstreet
(36,108 posts)Lots of DUers oppose the ACA legislation
That member was more likely using that sentiment for exposure in pushing other agendas. For example, s/he was very VERY anti-social security and fairly worshiped Wall Street investments as retirement alternatives
Which would have made his/her posts...interesting if the Democrats start pushing SS cuts
Could be some sword falling here
BootinUp
(47,154 posts)it was painfully obvious to some. Of course there is so much Obama bashing round here that a RW Obama bashing troll can hide amongst the LW Obama bashers pretty easily.
Douglas Carpenter
(20,226 posts)when serving on the MIRT team and it is my duty to do so. I simply never noticed that one - other than their anti-ACA talk. Considering that the ACA was essentially what would have been considered a "market-based" conservative solution to a problem that would have been the kind of program most conservatives and Republicans would have supported only a decade or so ago before the Republican Party went completely wacko and before the Democratic Party started embracing "market-based" conservative solutions - It was only natural that traditional New Deal Democrats would have opposed or at least been highly skeptical of the ACA. But this one did seem to go beyond a critique of the Democratic Party's long term drift to the right on economic issues.

(3,795 posts)dkf was obviously and clearly a right-wing libertarian.
dkf never missed an opportunity to push right-wing economic positions, but stood up very vocally for civil liberties.
DU definitely has to deal with quite a lot of conservative, right-wing nonsense and framing for some reason, and the conservatives get to attempt to discredit leftists (while failing) here far too often.

(5,043 posts)It takes a lot of persistent, bull shit negativity and since 2004 I think I'm running about 98% for eventual tombstones (or whatever we do these days).
