I try to ignore them, but they just keep giving me more material to work with. Go look at this thread entitled "What do you guys think will happen if a democrat is elected?"
Here's a sampling of responses:
"The entire world will rejoyce and we will have days of celebration."
"I expect charges of treason to be put forth immediately upon swearing-in for the next Dem. The fascists are NOT going to accept a Dem in the chair. The Repubian scorced-earth tactics are going to go up not a notch, but a thousand notches."
"petty attacks on our Legitimatly Elected President!
Republican = Nazi"
"whichever Dem gets the nom will be the new elected prez. Since the rest of the planet can clearly see that our gov't has been hi-jacked by a bunch of criminals that they know all too well, I think we'll see very quickly and clearly that all the anti-Americanism on the part of our former allies was actually anti-Bushism."
I really wish I knew who some of these people were so I could find them and beat talk some sense into them. It may seem trivial, but remember that THEY VOTE. People who actually believe that "Republican=Nazi" are going to be voting this fall. That's a scary thought.
On another note, I'm thinking of starting another blog that focuses exclusively on Democratic Underground so I don't have to put all that idiocy here. It would be called "Eye on DU" or something like that. What do you think? Good/bad idea? Has it been done already?
Reader input is appreciated.
UPDATE
This is too good. Look at the "signature" from one of the DU posters:
StonerNET Forums: www.stonernet.org - United We're Stoned, Divided We're Busted
StonerNET LIVE - Saturdays at 9pm eastern (2am GMT) on
StonerNET Radio: http://stonernet.org/live.asx (Windows Media)
I believe this is justification for calling him/her/it a hippy.
Why start a new blog when you can just do it here? I like the idea of posting about DU, but I'd say start a new blog only if you're going to make it a group blog. (Unless, of course, you think you really have enough time to post on two blogs!)
I started "Consent of the Governed" because I wanted to have a blog specifically about the rule of law, and knew that I couldn't fill it myself.
I kind of like the group blog idea, actually. I'll have to think about that.
Posted by: CD at January 3, 2004 09:08 PMTo keep an eye on a group as batty as DU, you'd need a group blog, I think.
I was considering something similar for moveon.org. Unfortunately, pissoff.org is already taken.

Let me add my vote for a group blog for tracking DU.
