they were very much exceptions Skittles Jun 2014 #89

No, it was common in multiple forums, especially I/P, the 9/11 Dungeon geek tragedy Jun 2014 #98

no, they wouldn't deny the holocaust, just pimp conspiracy theories geek tragedy Jun 2014 #102

so we are agreed that we detest people who pimp garbage Skittles Jun 2014 #103

Amazing lack of self-awareness. You explicitly claim Obama is as bad or worse than Bush, then wonder geek tragedy Jun 2014 #46

Absolutely right. nt Bobbie Jo Jun 2014 #61

You are agreeing with a flat out lie. cui bono Jun 2014 #79

Where did I support Ron Paul's call for impeachment? Prove it or apologize. cui bono Jun 2014 #77

In response to Ron Paul saying Obama/could be impeached: geek tragedy Jun 2014 #95

Where did I support impeachment exactly? n/t cui bono Jun 2014 #96

when someone posts a thread about impeachment geek tragedy Jun 2014 #109

I did not support impeachment. I make no bones that I disagree with a lot of what Obama does. cui bono Jun 2014 #114

And you go Godwin as a parting shot. Nice. nt geek tragedy Jun 2014 #121

Again, mischaracterizing, but I will edit that out because I can see how it could be taken. n/t cui bono Jun 2014 #126

Making a baseless accusation like that refusing to back it up should result in a ban. /nt Marr Jun 2014 #84

It changed. Meta is now in GD. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #53

Yep, might as well not even have hosts...seems like they don't have much of a job. Rex Jun 2014 #54

Not just meta--GD is also littered with OT "vanity" posts better suited for a personal blog. Romulox Jun 2014 #59

Righteous rant! Been a long time since I've seen one of those. Rex Jun 2014 #55

One way it quickly changed from the beginning... wyldwolf Jun 2014 #56

I think it is more combative than it used to be JNelson6563 Jun 2014 #57

So was Better Believe It. Yet people still mimic his daily "crap on the Democratic party" postings. FSogol Jun 2014 #97

I disagree. The party establishment has a more organized presence here now. Marr Jun 2014 #74

i disagree. the party is in power now, and what we see is a desire not to criticize our own. La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2014 #76

Yes, I'm sure some are simply sincere, 'my-party-right-or-wrong' types. Marr Jun 2014 #81

Which is bad for democracy. Party over country is no way to get good policy enacted. cui bono Jun 2014 #82

i didn't say it was a good thing, just that i dont see this as an organized movement La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2014 #113
