We're actually doing pretty well here, at least on one count.

We're actually doing pretty well here, at least on one count.
Right now there is only one thread on the first page of this forum with a smear name ("SlickHilly") in the title. A couple of months ago almost every title in GDP had "Obamanation," "Shillary," etc. in the title.

It's fun to do it against the Chimperor/Shrubya/* and his moran/Rethug supporters and cronies. Spreading these names have only helped us make America despise them as much as they deserve to be despised. Back when they were riding high a lot of people were saying we should curb those attacks because they will backfire on us. Guess what? They didn't. The vast majority of Americans now hate Bushler as much as we've hated him since 2000 and even before. They've started calling him the names that we invented.

Hate tactics work. We should only use them when the target deserves it. We should never use them on Democrats (now matter how flimsy) who will be running against Neocon murdering Nazi assholes in future elections, whether for POTUS or for senator.

So let's keep up the good work, Clinton and Obama supporters. We've almost purged the hate names from this forum. Let's remember Skinner's advice and just stop using them, both in OP's and in replies.

1. I've been dipping my toe in GD-P again.
I commented to mock Joe Klein, and to express amazement at an anti-popular-vote thread. Plus, this (surprisingly non-toxic (yet)) message.

You know, I think I'll just pull my toe right out again. Maybe I can find a surgeon who can sew it back on.

--p!

2. Nobody wants to respond because it's not negative.
I guess.
