From here.
Main reason I posted this was... months ago when some issues were getting fairly hotly debated, some of these things were quoted as examples of what some liberals were capable of. Those who said it did not have references at the time.

Things like this do not suprise me. There are fringes of any ideology (sp?) that go too far and should be put down. And I do mean in the strong sense of the phrase. :;):

I think I am really confused. This is from a right wing sight and you say it is the truth? Wierd. I guess if you find it in print (or the internet) it must be true. hmmmm

You are confused, but I will explain. The link to the right wing "sight" is this:
http://www.rightwingnews.com/archives/week_2004_11_28.PHP#003182
It's basically a "best of" list of other posts on that same right wing "sight," like this:
http://www.rightwingnews.com/category.php?ent=1855
THAT post has a link to a thread from the Democratic Underground forum, like this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss....=503597
I know it's a lot to ask to click two extra links, but you will see that, yes, the right wing site is telling the truth: these are real quotes from people who post on the Democrat Underground site. Now, I admit it's possible that those people are not real Democrats. They might be moles planted by Karl Rove.
But there is no denying that these were posts on DU, so, yes, what Gordon posted and what was on the right wing "sight" was true. Well...unless you disagree with the whole "top 10" part. That's purely subjective.

Thib pretty much covered the accuracy of Gordo's post, but if you still don't believe the extreme left is capable of such things I advise you to view a couple of the videos at Protest Warrior.
You may believe that since they're a "right" site that its all horseshit bashing the left. however, all they do is go to the left's own protests and film them.
What they encounter is violence, censorship, communism, a pure hatred for America, etc.
Apparently these things and those found at the Democratic Underground site are things supported by all Democrats and liberals right? I mean, you'd figure the left would spend time distancing themselves from these extremists rather than defending them, unless they share those beliefs...

Just to play Devil's Advocate, I figure that your Joe Sixpack Union Worker Democrat is completely unaware that sites like DU even exist.

No, I'm fully aware of that. Almost my entire family is made up of Dems. They're all union workers and such, and when they hear about crap spewed by the extreme left they get pissed and define those people are lunatics.
Its those Dems who are made aware of the extreme left's ranting and defend it who boggle my mind.

Just call me Joe Sixpack then. And are there by any chance Right Wing sites spewing crap like this too, that some people may use to label all right wing persons?

Probably, but would you mind telling me who here is labelling "all" of any group?

It's ok to find it distasteful. I'm glad you find it distastetful. As long as you recognize that it really happened.

Yeah, but I just can't take those peeps seriously.
They're saying "Fire your Republicans" but, let's be honest, they're grad students, peeps who aren't in positions to fire, or kids.
Now, if they actually did something, I'd care.

Of course, if they were actually out there in the real world and in positions of power, the odds are they'd be Republicans anyway.

They're also saying "lie," which is certainly within the power of anyone.

And besides that I would not have hired one in the first damned place. rofl2.gif
