Anybody here read the IndyStar.com messageboard?

There are some truly ignorant and hateful people there. I've been debating whether or not I should bother registering to post in there. From the looks of it though, what few liberals are there can't get their message through to anyone, they all attack attack attack and cry out against the vast liberal media. Bunch of freeper types and a small handful of liberals.

And by "they all" I mean the freeper types.

It's not really worth conversing with these people. They aren't worth your time. They won't read the posts anyway once they sense the post won't confirm whatever it is they've got milling about in their tiny little pee brains.

If anything you should join to discuss issues with the other progressives on that board and just ignore the whirring sound coming from the right.

There is not much point in attacking stupidity. Try to exchange with people you can learn from and the brain-dead will read along. The Internet is bringing a real education to the American people and you should be concerned with those seeking a true reality. If the brain-dead want to stay behind, just leave them. The economic pain is going to bring a new reality to every common Joe and even the ignorant will want to know what happened to the America they thought existed.

Isn't the price of gas bringing some questioning discussion?

When WarCriminal had his pollsters declare a 90 percent approval rating after the invasion of Iraq I went to an Austin messageboard. I would just hang in there and call them all brain-dead and keep on going. They eventually shut down the messageboard.

It really is the best place to be for change. One thing you can do is present links to DU, that would tell people of another avenue to information. There are plenty of people that read those boards because they have not found a better place for information.

The one thing I like about DU is the features that come with the messageboard. I would not mind reading FreeRepublic for information if it has some worthwhile features strarting with an ignore feature. If you can get people to come here, they can fortify themselves and take it back to the backwards thinking being spewed in Indiana.

If you want to change things, those hate-filled and ignorant messageboards are the best place. I may join you there as Souder is one of the craziest bastards to ever walk the planet and he is the drug warrior that needs to be put out of our misery more than any other corrupt politician. The only reason I have not done so before is because I could not find a popular messageboard.

Could you put up a link to the messageboard? You could put up a link at cannabisnews.com and marijuana.com and overgrow.com and you would get some recruits to get real on that messageboard. Souder is one despised human being by plenty of people that do not buy into the lies and fraud of Cannabis Prohibition.

You need to learn to use links generously and also copy and paste.

I will register and tell them about DU and that the best news source on the Internet about Cindy Sheehan is here.

I am going to tell them that Souder is totally nuts and not worthy of office as a dog catcher. All it takes is a little conviction and knowing some truth.

i'm registering, hopefully under the same s/n

Trying to get my point across by being nice and respectful, doubt it will work, but hell. Why not.

had to have more than my 4 widdle letters of toey :(

:D. Don't think I'll post there often but I *had* to post some facts about her. It's obvious that all these folks spewing insults about her only get their info from drudge hannity and limbaugh.

i hope its a good one

good luck, ;)

hehehe

I'll check out how the thread coninues tomorrow or Monday- the man just got off work so it's time to start the weekend! :D

I've occasionally browsed the Indystar.com messageboard myself. From what I've seen I'd have to agree. Except for checking up on local events, I can't stand reading most of the political posts on that board! The ignorance and mean-spiritedness evident on those boards is appalling!

but beware! BigDave gets more people banned than anyone else. All it takes is a word or two about * and you are out. I have already been banned several times myself and find ways to go back and post. The S&N losers who are banned usually go over to the Nuvo boards. www.nuvo.net
It can get pretty lively at times over there as they don't like freepers much.

I visit it frequently, but for some reason it doesn't let me sign up. I guess I'll have to send an email to the administrators asking why or something.:shrug:

And I gather Big Dave posts on Nuvo too under the name Felix Zollicoffer...but the other posters just make fun of him and call him a spammer and corporate tool...which he is (lol)

is all *,all the time. We do make him squirm though. Nuvo doesn't seem to care how he feels as he has reported all of us so much that no one pays attention to him. Send an e-mail to desertrat or Hammer to sign up if all else fails. We need all the help we can get.

...made it on the Nuvo board. I just ended up signing up on my brother's computer and it worked fine. go figure.
:eyes:

Can't figure out if he is truly that stupid, or if he gets paid to post that crap.

He wasn't the one to make me quit reading the Star Board though. There's quite a few over there that who just plain vicious. And the nitwit who has a government job and averages 50-60 posts during her workday is just too pathetic to waste my beautiful mind on.

I kind of lost interest after PU/IU got tossed. Whatever happened to him anyway? I know he posted for a while at Nuvo. Did BD get him tossed from there too? I always enjoyed his posts. I even saved his ongoing saga about Smirk's codpiece.

Posted for many months under the title of Maury. He left the Nuvo board due to the harassment my those such as KingofMonkeys and Felix, whom he despised. A few new people have signed on and he might be one of them. Will have to wait until he reveals some info.

I`ve been reading the Star boards for about a month.They are a bunch of right wing extremist and gun nuts.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

are you the same poster who used to create amazing editorial cartoons?

If so - I have missed you!

If not - then, welcome to DU!

Thanks for the welcome.

I read it... it's pure junk. It's one of those places on the internet that drives me into paroxysms of rage and depression. I'd frankly rather stub my toe.

I cannot imagine reading the Indy Star message boards. The letters to the editor are bad enough! :eyes;
