I'm reading these posts and the vitriol that you guys spew towards Monkey-Ass and his mal-administration have kept me laughing all day.

Thanks!!

2. welcome to DU--if it weren't for the wonderful folks here at DU--I am not sure I would have been
able to survive our national nightmare. they are keeping me sane, reminding me that the entire world is NOT composed of drooling, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging kool-ade drinkers, and the sponsors thereof.

Do you have something beyond Monkey-Ass? I'm partial to Little Boots, or Smirk and Sneer--if you want to address him and his partner in crime. We got names for all of them and plenty to attach them too. Solly's correct--lotsa times we hold back.

collective liberal ass if they don't like it.

DU ain't your father's tweed-jacketed, pipe-smoking, shrinking-violet liberals. We're the ones who are not afraid to tell people we're liberals.

We're PROUD to be liberals, and fuck anyone who doesn't like it.

51. Why pull punches with so many dead, so many crimes and so many lies?
I'd say most of us feel just like Pink:


"Dear Mr. President"
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

52. Vitriol and righteous indignation are not at all the same thing.
Being hateful for no reason is one thing. Being angry at liberals because they see a way that includes not starting a war is one thing.

But an illegal entry into the White House, and an illegal war, and illegal signing statements, and ignoring the voters, and on and on, is not resulting in vitriol.


What you see here is a group of informed people who have witnessed crimes. Not vitriolic idiots like you find on the conservative forums.

You'll find us to be rather kind people, otherwise. Unlike those on the conservative forums, who are shits ALL OF THE TIME.

We're here to satisfy the will of the people. We're not here to serve at the pleasure of the Dictator.

I love this place. I would've been bonkers by now if I didn't have DU since 2001 for friendship, snark, information and pure silliness.

65. Having survived The Nixon years, the Reagan years and daddy Bush years
when everyone around me were radical supporters of those 3, let me tell you how lonely it was and how you felt you were the only one seeing the evil these prezinuts were because there was no such thing as DU or the internet. Reagans era of terror was especially rough because so many brain dead mixed up the man with the movie actor image. Why is beyond me as to be honest I seen everyone of his movies growing up and not one movie was worth watching, though Bonzo out shined Reagans drool over acting and saved the movie. I also remember how Cali kept telling the rest of the country Reagan was a lier and he was a politician right to the core, but america blew them off as either being out in the sun to long or they were getting good mexican dirt weed nuts that were either to stupid or high to see what a great man Reagan was. When you sat down with a layed off GM worker, who was layed off because of Reagans anti union big business tactics, and had them touting the latest Reagan talking point about how GM was just a good guy business that was trying to reshape its production lines for the benefit of the american worker. Hitting your head on a brick wall was the only way to stop the pain in your head. After being layed off for 4 years the GM worker started seeing that he was making a mistake about Reagan, but Reagan needed another chance at making things right. Then everyone wonders why drug abuse was rampant in the 80's, it was the only way democratic voters could remain sane.

71. also
GWB approval right now is 28%

Nixon was at 23% when he resigned. Every little morsel of cosmic vitriol here at DU and elsewhere in the universe is all adding to that teensie-weenie little 5% more we need to insert this oaf into NIXON territory.

The fact that our docile and poorly educated populace can slice through the skewed MSM propaganda machine and rate this cretin so low in spite of the daunting systemic obstacles courtesy of the entrenched rich and powerful is heartwarming.

Gives me hope that we may once again be a great country of hope and generosity and compassion in my lifetime. I've got maybe 20 or 30 years left and I think I will indeed live long enough to witness the damage of GWB repaired by those with the vision to do it.

66. Welcome but...Link please?


For this spewing and lack of mincing? ;)


:sarcasm:





Some of us spew more than others, and some of us are always composed and non-profane. But the spewers' posts are usually a lot more fun. I never know when a DUer is going to post something that just makes my day :bounce:









Spew on, DU friends....it really does help :hi:

93. I resent that
Nobody here "spews vitriol"

We try very hard to be fair and balanced. We just tell it like it is.

Sometimes the truth defies accurate depiction with mere words, though, and a bit of colorful language is required, in a vain effort to even come CLOSE!

:rofl:
