DU Report

I've just been checking out the Democratic Underground message boards to see what the VERY far left is talking about. Here are a few "facts" I now know thanks to my visit (these are all paraphrased from actual posts):

-Bush wasn't elected.
-Bush knew there were no WMD before he even started talking about war with Iraq.
-We already have bin Laden, and he will be "caught" right before the election.
-We definitely gave Saddam Hussein chemical weapons, even though he never had WMD.
-Bush was definitely AWOL. No question about it. People only think it's an outrageous claim because the corporate media refuses to admit the truth.
-The PATRIOT Act has already been used to violate Constitutional rights.
-The Ricin found in D.C. was planted by Karl Rove to make us feel less secure and justify the PATRIOT Act.
-The Department of Homeland Security monitors DU. So does Rush Limbaugh.
-Michael Moore never lies. Ever.
-Bill O'Reilly is the spokesperson for the future state-controlled media.
-There has never been a good Republican president other than Lincoln, but he doesn't count because he was a "progressive."
-Bush is only interested in prison reform because he wants to protect his friends after they get thrown in jail for various scandals.
-One of the great things about DU is how respectful they are of all opinions, even the unpopular ones. (I can't make this stuff up, folks.)
-Watching Fox News for too long will cause you to support dictators.
-If Gore had been allowed to serve as president, 9/11 would not have happened.
-Bush has somehow managed to "rape the Constitution."
-"Anyone but Bush" is an acceptable voting strategy, but "Bush is better than the Democratic candidates" is a sign of brainwashing/impending dictatorship.
-Daniel Pipes is a bile-spewing racist who "is an ugly, mean looking, sad excuse for a human being."
-The death penalty is "primitive and barbaric," and is equivalent to a human sacrifice. However, abortion is perfectly fine, and anyone who is pro-life really just wants to keep people from having sex.
-"Neo-cons" are all imperialists and tyrants who want to force their religion on the rest of the world.
-Joe Scarborough is a murderer. (They said it, not me)
-A Constitutional amendment against gay marriage would restrict civil liberties.
-AOL's parental controls should be able to block conservative websites so parents can protect their impressionable children.
-Listening to Rush Limbaugh will cause you to become addicted to painkillers.
-Media websites are mostly fascist.
-Making fun of France is racist.
-The CIA apparently has a new director named George Tenant.
-The majority of conservatives base all their opinions on what Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage say.
-The real problem with conservatives is their lack of empathy.
-Zell Miller, in addition to being a traitor who deserves to die and burn in hell, is a racist and wants to take the country back to the days of Strom Thurmond.
-The basic power structure of the Bush White House is as follows:
-Cheney runs the country.
-Rumsfeld runs the war.
-Bush goes to fundraisers and gives speeches from a teleprompter.

Again, those are all paraphrased from actual posts. I'd link to them if I had more time, but this is all the DU exposure I can handle for now.
