A Call for DUer's to invade Usenet forums....
Particularly, alt.tv.pol-incorrect, that's Bill Maher's discussion forum. Recently, it's been infested with freepers and they really get on my nerves - ask Lazarus!

Check out this enlightening thread concerning Real Time with Bill Maher's studio audience:

Jesus Christ, everytime Garofalo or any other liberal say something against
the right the audience hoots and hollers circa the Jerry Spring show in
1997. No wonder that state's in the shitter.

Yeah, she goes off and says there's no liberal media, when on that show,
there's Gray Davis, Bill, Garofalo, Brazile and the audience versus Rep.
Dreier. No liberal media? Sure.....

The audience is a little too active for me, too.

1. If they're getting on your nerves, don't go there anymore...
kind of a simple solution.

No need to expose yourself to that kind of filth really.

4. I'm a Bill Maher fan...
That's why I go there but I haven't the time or the smarts to come up with clever rebuttals to those dimwitted simps. There are so many DUer's that are superior than I could ever be at shutting a lot of those boobs up and fast! :shrug:

Global warming, vote stealing, whatever is topical. I am trying to make positive suggestions.

8. This is exactly why I respectfully
decline your request.

I only belong to sites where I can interact with people with whom I agree. I am subjected to plenty of crap in the "real" world and spend my energies there in protesting, demonstrating, arguing, searching for witty comeback-repartee; I just don't wish to waste my online time for dealing with IDIOTS.
