1. My guess is simply Angry, White, Unemployed, Idiot, Conservative Male.

About a third of trump's idiot base.

[Tavarious Jackson]

2. That description fits jackpine radicals. nt

[LanternWaste]

4. I don't believe they are conservative.

But then again, I don't have an ax to grind, nor a boogey-man to fear.

[yardwork]

76. Many of them are, I think. That's why they like Trump.

[roody]

55. I'm female, retired with pension, also well-employed,

Not angry, yet a member there. Old hippie actually.

[MineralMan]

6. More likely one of the "Proud Boys" or a "Q"ster.

Whoever they are, in the end.

[still_one]

30. Hmmmmmm, more likely Trump I think

[leftstreet]

3. Your thread title makes DU look stupid n/t

[cwydro]

32. And childish.

Spot on.

[shanny]

34. Amen.

[SidDithers]

70. ...

Sid

[jalan48]

35. It makes some on DU look stupid.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. I don't think so.

Maybe if it was just addressed to the Clintons.

But Maxine Waters? John Brennan? Eric Holder?

Plus I don't know if you still think the White House was targeted, but if you aren't aware, that was debunked several hours ago.

The entire list was a Greatest Hits list of people attacked by name at your average Trump rally.

[R B Garr]

7. I must say the Wasserman-Schultz inclusion was a bit odd given

that she's been so piled on, but then I was reminded she's Jewish, which could explain it.

[LonePirate]

29. The misspelling of her name certainly suggests a MAGAt sent the packages.

[sheshe2]

80. The return address?

Misspelled Florida. They spelled Florids. At least they got the zip code right.

[irresistable]

37. I though that it made sense to have the package "sent" by DWS.

My belief is that they thought that the package was more likely to get through.

[JNelson6563]

41. When I saw her name I thought "Berner"

Nothing would surprise me.

[BannonsLiver]

8. Just because they are a bunch of a misguided dead enders doesn't mean theyre violent

[melman]

9. You should delete this

[Tavarious Jackson]

10. Why?

I stand by it. Have you read the cray over there? They HATE democrats with a passion.

[melman]

11. Because it's ugly

[Tavarious Jackson]

12. Ugly to who?

It's true. They're mostly angry white males.

[FreepFryer]

19. Unlike all those alt-Right nationalist whackos, that is? (n/t)

[uponit7771]

23. Truth ain't nevah ugly honey

[shanny]

59. Lol

Like there's any in the bothsiderist-worthy-of-Chucky-Toad OP

[tymorial]

72. Ugliness is a pastime on here

I am rapidly getting disgusted.

[G_j]

28. Its a whole other domain

saying somebody is behind terrorism. It should be deleted.

[Xolodno]

13. I've never understood the hate for JackPineRadicals...

I've looked over there on a few occasions, don't see the reason to dump on them.

I can see a reason to dump on Conservative Cave...a website that only talks about how they hate DU. Likewise, Free Republic and all their paranoid and hate filled speech. But I want them to continue practicing their free speech rights, they serve as a good example of a bad example.

But JPR? No, I don't see it. It's posts like these that make me want to join them.

[Tavarious Jackson]

15. A lot of them voted for Trump and continue to vote republican

…. just to stick it to democrats.

[Xolodno]

20. ...and you know this how?

I doubt you commited a survey with an adequate statistical sample size to find out this information. If you did, this economist would like to evaluate it to make sure you didn't skew the sample size.

What I believe you are offering up in merely opinion. If you stated they "sat home" on election day, you could make a case as those studies have been done. But say they vote GOP...that's pretty rich.

I vote "D" despite the Democratic Party being too conservative to me, but I know getting something I want is better than nothing.

[FreepFryer]

21. I think it's a talking point. (n/t)

[rampartc]

36. more voted fot stein or sat home

most voted for dems down ticket.

i agree with them that bernie was an inspirational and charismatic candidate, and that perhaps we should emphasize economic issues.

i do not think any of them are capable of this kind of behavior, which does reek of trump's inflamatory rhetoric.

[Eliot Rosewater]

52. Yep

[m-lekktor]

16. The current DU doesn't like people on the left much.

There's a whole segment of folks who no longer post here since the last election.

[betsuni]

63. "unspoken clique"

[betsuni]

68. They refused to vote for the Democratic nominee in the last election.

The current DU doesn't like people who don't vote for Democrats.

[NurseJackie]

22. Nobody is stopping you.

It's posts like these that make me want to join them.

Nobody is stopping you.

[Xolodno]

24. Well...

I asked to join them. Now we will see if they will let me in, if they don't, yeah, the standards at DU are really low!

[NurseJackie]

39. Good luck!

[Xolodno]

44. Thanks!

If nothing else, the drama should be fun!

[NurseJackie]

46. You may end up feeling right at home.

[jcgoldie]

26. Read their board

They hate Hillary at least as much as Trump and they are too stupid to even see the vast policy differences. If thats how you feel then it would make sense to join them, because they do not stand for what democrats stand for.

[Xolodno]

31. I have...

...and yes, there is questionable content. But I find it no different when the Hillary Clinton Forum was founded and blasted Obama on an hourly basis. Political views evolve with learning and experience, I should know, I used to be a Reagan loving capitalist...now, I'm pretty much opposite of the spectrum.

And yes, I did ask to join, not because I wanted, but in spite.

[jcgoldie]

33. You are being dishonest about the content

They have entire threads full of BS anti-Clinton conspiracy theories as bad as anything you can find at freerepublic. I won't justify that place by linking any of their bullshit and I doubt it would be allowed anyway. But if you've been reading it since the last election as you say and you are A-OK with that sexist shithole then have fun there.

[NurseJackie]

40. Excellent description. You nailed it!

Excellent description. You nailed it! Anyone who admires that shithole or wants to be associated with a bunch of bitter malcontents has very low standards.

[Xolodno]

45. I'm not sure if...

..I have any standards

[NurseJackie]

47. I'll take your word for it.

[sheshe2]

79. **snort**

[Xolodno]

43. That isn't what I said...

I stated "I've looked over there on a few occasions". I don't follow them on any consistent basis. So my view of them is a bit muted. But given my limited experience, don't see why all the hate. When the Hillary Clinton Forum was created, there was nigh a mention of them here. But for whatever reason, people here feel threatened by them. I don't get it.

And Hillary Clinton? Sorry, but lets be blunt. Its over, way over. She isn't running again and we need new blood. If anything, they, JPR are an example of voter disenfranchisement. The GOP wins when Democrats sit out, period. Pissing on those who sit out only confirms their views. We need to find ways to communicate. But calling them stupid, assholes, etc. isn't going to work. And that's what the GOP is counting on.

[jcgoldie]

48. They are assholes. And "let's be blunt"...

You already know that.

[Xolodno]

51. Sure, and I'm an asshole too!

But at least I'm not a Republican.

But unlike Republicans, I believe there can be a meeting of the minds on the left. Thus far, I only see infighting, grudges, etc. being fought out of an election that's done and over with. We all need to work to stop the fascist pig...no offense to pigs, in the White House. Now if you want to continually piss on the disenfranchised, well, you have the right to do so. But your not going to convince me that's the better course of action.

[jcgoldie]

53. what a joke

If they can't tell the difference between Trump and Clinton, then they are not "on the left". And "piss on the disenfranchised"? How exactly were they disenfranchised again?

[Xolodno]

64. Well...

It's obvious you are not seeing my point. With that said, someone responded with links why I should be wary, which I thanked them for. But you offered up "JPR is bad because I said so". If that was all it takes to persuade me, I would be a Republican.

[NurseJackie]

65. "...if you want to continually piss on the disenfranchised..." ROFL :-D

Now if you want to continually piss on the disenfranchised, well, you have the right to do so.

[Cha]

50. Nobody is "threatened" by the idiots at jpr.. The majority

is grateful to be rid of their racist lying asses.

[Xolodno]

60. So why OP like this?

It's a rarity to see Free Republic or Conservative Cave's threads...and when it happens, it's for entertainment purposes. But here we are, and I'm being told I will fit in with them....when I might have visited their site last year until today.

If indeed racism is prominent there, please provide some examples. I may very well come to your viewpoint, but thus far it has been JPR is bad because I said so. I don't make judgements based on that info.

[RhodeIslandOne]

74. I've read several posts over there that the Electoral College is good....

.....because "Urban" areas are not, shall we say, smart enough to decide the President.

[NurseJackie]

67. Exactly! And it serves no good purpose to put up with anyone who...

50. Nobody is "threatened" by the idiots at jpr.. The majority
is grateful to be rid of their racist lying asses.

Exactly! And it serves no good purpose to put up with anyone who wants to sing-their-praises, or who feels like it's necessary to claim that JPR has higher standards that DU.

He poʻe wahaheʻe lākou is the nicest thing I can say about them.

[betsuni]

69. "voter disenfranchisement"

[NurseJackie]

71. "...voter disenfranchisement." Oh good grief! GMAFB!

If anything, they, JPR are an example of voter disenfranchisement.

Oh good grief! GMAFB!

Pissing on those who sit out only confirms their views.

Aw! Poor things.

[sheshe2]

77. You are talking about the Hill and Obama Groups here?

Xolodno
31. I have...

...and yes, there is questionable content. But I find it no different when the Hillary Clinton Forum was founded and blasted Obama on an hourly basis. Political views evolve with learning and experience, I should know, I used to be a Reagan loving capitalist...now, I'm pretty much opposite of the spectrum.

I host both. Obama first when I arrived in 2012. Hill after she started her campaign. They are not a forum but a protected group.

Was there bad blood in 2008? Sure. However two adults with a common cause forgave and forgot. They formed a strong alliance and will always be friends.

So a reaguuun ex. You have come a long way. Congratulations. See that!!!! People can change. Evolve. Be better.

And yes, I did ask to join, not because I wanted, but in spite.

Spite? You joined JPR out of spite? Spite for who or what????

I read JPR from time to time. Classy. You do know the admin, or are they ex admin now????allowed in no uncertain terms to allow members to call Hill the C word. Oh!!!! wait wait wait!!! If YOU are anyone else call a JPRer the C word you will in fact be banned. You okay with that? Calling a woman the C word? This is the history of the site you are joining out of a 'spite' I do not understand.

[Autumn]

54. And people hate Bernie too, it goes both ways. There was a site started by someone here that

Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2018, 08:26 PM - Edit history (1)

was nasty and vile about Bernie and his supporters until the owner locked it down so no one could see the posts except members, they were that nasty and vile . It's not just Dems that post at JP, it's open to Dems, Independents and Conservatives. And of course there are the people who carry grudges that troll there too.

I was there for a while and then left when one of the Cons started posting CTs about Hillary.

[jcgoldie]

56. well

If I see a site that promotes the same type of hatred toward Bernie Sanders as that site does toward Hillary Clinton, then I won't be a member there either.

[Autumn]

57. I'm sure.

[sheshe2]

81. Bills site?

[Gothmog]

58. Read this thread about Congressman John Lewis

The idiots/hate mongers on that site applauded Congressman John Lewis being booed at the national convention. https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/hey-john-lewis-karmas-a-mf-aint-it/

Nance collected some of the really bad comments on that thread here https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028476265

From that post Also on the JPR homefront: Trump is the legitimately-elected pOTUS, and all stories about his Russian ties are “fake news”. The “Establishment” is trying to “steal” his presidency away from him because they were planning a war with Russia, and the peace-loving Trump - as always mindful of the welfare of others - is standing in their way by pursuing a meaningful friendship with Putin.

Amazed at how the (alleged) True Progressives ™ on JPR have so quickly morphed into Trumpettes? You shouldn’t be. That’s what happens when a site full of malleable malcontents is overrun with RWers, and are willing to swallow any swill emanating from anti-Dem sources.

JPR takes “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” idiocy to a whole new level. They are now on-board with Mr. Tangerine Man, based solely on the fact that he “saved” them from the horrors that a Hillary presidency would have brought about – like appointing billionaire, Goldman-Sachs-type corporatists to her Cabinet. (So glad we dodged THAT bullet!)

So beware of Trumpettes wearing JPR's version of True Progressive ™ clothing. They were RWers (or RW wannabees) all along – or sadder still, mindless sheep willing to follow the Judas Goat without hesitation, while pretending to be independent "thinkers" immune to being led by the nose to the slaughterhouse.

If you hate Congressman John Lewis, You will be happy on that website

[Xolodno]

62. Thank you.

I must have increased my post count by a dozen just trying to get some info. Whenever I rarely visited there, not much to see.

[RhodeIslandOne]

73. They support Seth Rich conspiracy theory

That's one thing....

[m-lekktor]

14. wow. you think somebody from Jackpine Radicals sent the bombs?

[FreepFryer]

17. The #1 conspiracy theory now being circulated on Right wing sites right now. (n/t)

[sarcasmo]

18. I'm betting on the Proud Boys being involved.

[cwydro]

42. I'm not.

They’re too stupid.

[RhodeIslandOne]

75. Agreed

And I have no doubt they'll try to tie it to Antifa or Bernie Bros to toss off the scent.

61. Putin's bots are posting shit like this

I just heard on NPR that the bots are posting stuff like this to stir people against each other.

[SunSeeker]

78. Possible, but Schultz was misspelled, which points to a teabagger/MAGAt. nt
