... which implies they don't take her tax hike message seriously, Auggie Jul 2015 #1

Yup... Helen Borg Jul 2015 #4

Perhaps, but it could also be a reflection of the craziness of what the Republican Party has become still_one Jul 2015 #26

Yup. KMOD Jul 2015 #76

Both should have been hidden MissDeeds Jul 2015 #112

I wouldn't have voted to hide the post that told the misogynist to fuck off. boston bean Jul 2015 #131

FYI. Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #159

any further proof needed that the jury system is being abused? BooScout Jul 2015 #176

I noticed the same thing BooScout SCantiGOP Jul 2015 #206

Sorry, but then you would be wrong. And that's why this jury system is so badly broken. cui bono Jul 2015 #241

Absolutely not. Little Star Jul 2015 #155

Apparently we disagree MissDeeds Jul 2015 #189

Yeah, but which one isn't hidden? KMOD Jul 2015 #192

The poster plus four anonymous jurors who didn't explain their vote BeyondGeography Jul 2015 #107

Ha, nice try whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #64

Agree, totally uncalled for. There's so much to criticize Hillary for without resorting to crude name calling. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #67

I recommend that everyone who objects to the "WHORE" post alert on it. MADem Jul 2015 #77

I agree. KMOD Jul 2015 #79

That was my alert, and was stunned that four people voted to keep it (with NO rationale) George II Jul 2015 #83

Ask all your friends who feel as we do to ALERT ON THAT WHORE POST!! MADem Jul 2015 #84

I would argue the witch hunts over words are what make DU suck Egnever Jul 2015 #268

The INTENT of that post was clear--it was a "dog whistle." MADem Jul 2015 #269

So if Hillary was a male it would be fine Egnever Jul 2015 #270

It would still be rude, but less obviously so. Historically, that word has been directed at women MADem Jul 2015 #271

Right, more sanctimonious lecturing Egnever Jul 2015 #272

You are very defensive. It's obvious I have touched a very raw nerve. MADem Jul 2015 #273

That's the point Egnever Jul 2015 #274

I am not planning on using any sexist, racist or other -ist insults, so I suspect I'll be fine. MADem Jul 2015 #275

I did. tazkcmo Jul 2015 #103

I did too. First post I've alerted on in well over a year n/t eridani Jul 2015 #276

Done. Agschmid Jul 2015 #223

I didn't call her that and it was an unfortunate choice of words on the part of the poster. PatrickforO Jul 2015 #129

unfortunate choice of words. KMOD Jul 2015 #132

I can't believe you are defending the posters use of the comment. KMOD Jul 2015 #185

Someone in YOUR group got an op hidden for calling us whores: beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #205

Knock it off!!! KMOD Jul 2015 #213

I did condemn it, why are you defending your side? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #215

Spare us.... BooScout Jul 2015 #217

So that post was okay with you? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #219

Can you give me a link to that? KMOD Jul 2015 #220

BOTH should have been hidden and I'm sorry the one upthread wasn't. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #222

Nice accusation but I was at work. Why didn't you alert on it? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #216

Who is "you guys"? cui bono Jul 2015 #235

You should hide that post. If that is the only way you can express disagreement it speaks volumes still_one Jul 2015 #29

Worse - it DIDN'T get hidden! George II Jul 2015 #88

I saw that after... BooScout Jul 2015 #91

There was no HIDE--the person who OBJECTED to the WHORE characterization got the HIDE. MADem Jul 2015 #89

already done.... BooScout Jul 2015 #93

You applauded an op in the HC group who called Sanders supporters whores. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #211

Let's have a link for context, so I can see me applauding a post calling a woman a whore. MADem Jul 2015 #212

Do you really need a link to the post calling Sanders supporters whores? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #218

I want you to show me a post where I call a WOMAN a whore. You can't, can you? MADem Jul 2015 #225

Nice try but I never accused you of that. Here is my post again: beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #228

I wasn't laughing about the "w" word at all. You have difficulty with context, I see. MADem Jul 2015 #267

There is nothing left about that post at all, it is a right-wing post Bjorn Against Jul 2015 #58

Because only a Sanders supporter would throw out a misogynistic slur like that, right? historylovr Jul 2015 #105

Your concern should be with the offensive post KMOD Jul 2015 #111

They won't. You still can't find anybody who admits they voted for richard nixon. calimary Jul 2015 #139

Okay, I admit it....in 1968 (the FIRST election in which I voted) I voted for Nixon. George II Jul 2015 #251

That is why I avoid jury duty, because there are just enough who still_one Jul 2015 #53

That is why you are NEEDED on jury duty--if it had been you, instead of one of those no-comment MADem Jul 2015 #108

Considering the context "FU" response to the poster was appropriate, but also a clear violation still_one Jul 2015 #157

You aren't held to the TOS when you adjudicate. You can and should use context. MADem Jul 2015 #163

Appreciate the insight, thanks still_one Jul 2015 #193

I have found that the cleverest disruptors try to use a misunderstanding of the jury process to MADem Jul 2015 #197

What a disgusting thing to say. historylovr Jul 2015 #48

As a Bernie supporter I really think you should self delete Bjorn Against Jul 2015 #50

Calling a woman a whore on Democratic Underground? onehandle Jul 2015 #59

Disgusting comment. KMOD Jul 2015 #72

You comment needs to be removed. That's as disgusting as someone who called Bernie a flying turd Autumn Jul 2015 #82

I don't think that calling bernie a flying turd was a bigoted slur, was it? boston bean Jul 2015 #106

Both are nasty, so yeah I equate both as unacceptable. n/t Autumn Jul 2015 #118

Both are. But calling Bernie a flying turd, is nothing like using a misogynistic/sexist slur. boston bean Jul 2015 #121

Whatever but I'm not interested in the discussion you want to have. So find someone else. Autumn Jul 2015 #126

And I was just pointing out the two are not even in the same league. boston bean Jul 2015 #130

As far as I'm concerned nasty is nasty, I'm not into the parsing of it n/t Autumn Jul 2015 #134

It's not parsing, it is making a false comparison. nt. boston bean Jul 2015 #135

HC supporter calling us that same slur: beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #207

In their group no less. Puglover Jul 2015 #261

What does it matter which category it falls under? They are both offensive and wrong. cui bono Jul 2015 #242

Because it does matter. nt boston bean Jul 2015 #244

No, it doesn't. Unless you are biased in some way or are letting something cloud your objectivity. cui bono Jul 2015 #247

The bias was included in the first comment that spawned this thread. My objectivity is crystal clear boston bean Jul 2015 #249

No, it really isn't. You posted above that you would not have hidden the reply to the despicable cui bono Jul 2015 #250

right because I don't put an general insult in the same category as a misogynistic slur. YMMV. boston bean Jul 2015 #252

Agreed, any post calling someone a whore should be hidden. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #209

its absolutely ridiculous that a jury didn't hide this! BooScout Jul 2015 #85

Apparently not, since you think call outs are against the rules. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #263
