HELP! I started throwing bombs in this post, but I gotta go to work now!!!
Edited on Fri Apr-15-05 08:10 AM by emulatorloo
Somebody posted Kerry's great email about military families, and the usual and not so usual suspects are all over it. I came on with some heavy sarcasm. . .I'll be able to check back in a minute or two. . .

Can you give it some of your loving attention?

On the other hand, I am usually such a thread killer that maybe my presence there will put it out of its misery :)

2. Me too
Though I think that with these people, it's useless - "in one ear, out the other" as I used to hear said as a kid.

3. A couple of posters may as well be simple bot programs
Edited on Fri Apr-15-05 02:57 PM by emulatorloo
that scour DU for the words "Kerry" and "Good." and then automatically generate a post w some "progressive" spin on a Karl Rove talking point.

Thanks for helping out -- I just got out of my meeting!

4. I think we burried the anti-Kerry people there
It sort of feels like the old days on the Kerry blog.

12. Was this out of line to post?
"If the UN in the end chooses not to enforce its own resolutions, then the US should give Saddam 30 to 60 days to disarm, and if he doesn't, unilateral action is a regrettable, but unavoidable, choice."
Howard Dean

13. Considering the bile that's been spewed in that thread? Hell no.
These people need a good taste of their own guy's medicine.

14. It's true
And there are other quotes like this.

I don't see much point in bashing Dean at this point, but if I had such a desire there's also plenty of evidence of him being dishonest regarding Medicare.

16. good strategy
we should all go to those threads armed with quotes from Dean and Clark which sound similar to Kerry's policies. That would enlighten the ones who are willing to listen.

18. There may be people who are listening
Of course the regular Kerry-bashers will never listen, but there may be others who come across these threads. Whether the Kerry bashing is allowed to stand, or is refuted, might have a bearing on these people's opinions of Kerry.

There may also be new members between now and the 2008 election who are unaware of the primary battles. If Kerry runs again, these threads could have a bearilng on whether they consider supporting Kerry.

Oh my. I guess my argument above means that we are already fighting these battles for the 2008 nomination. I guess its fitting since just last week I took the Kerry Edwards sticker off my car and replaced it with the Kerry 2008 sticker. (The No-W sticker remains.)

20. I was just kidding around
The only reason I bother to go into those threads is in case some uncommitted person is lurking around. I know I'm never going to convince those clowns of anything.

Sadly people believe everything they hear and read.

5. Man, that thread was one big long string of IGNOREDs
That means it must be the usual suspects at work!

Haha, I liked whoever's crack (can't remember) about the "same less than 10 people" coming out in force again. Hahaha... they're so voiceferous in order to make up for their small numbers. How very sad.

6. I noticed that one person who has kind of been annoying
actually wrote that what Kerry did here was good. This person has been arguing with everyone that if Kerry just went on TV every day and argued forcefully we wouldn't be in this mess. I was tempted to respond thanking him (her?) but thought it could be misinterpreted as either patronising or sarcastic. It probably means that he was sincere with what he was saying earlier and is giving Kerry credit where credit is due.

7. I know who you're talking about
I think that person is sincere. I have noticed that he (?) is generally positive about Kerry, but wishes Dems had more exposure. I don't think he's a bad guy.

8. yes he is a good guy, and he applies it to ALL Democrats
doesn't specifically single out Kerry for bashing just for the purpose of bashing.

and he compliments regularly on good things also.
