I can't believe DUers don't know me well enough to KNOW I'm for gun control. JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lennon,.....


My post was locked. So let us have some fun. Trolls and cavers will vote against me, but won't donate.

IF you vote, give $5 to the DU or pledge $5 to Gabrielle Giffords Super PAC when it takes online donations. (I couldn't find a link to it yet)

I can't believe DUers thought I was racist. Remember this R? White Dude Gets Slap on the Wrist for Threatening to Kill People; Brown Dudes, Like, WTF!?

1. I'll donate as soon as I can spare the $5. Yeah, it's been that bad.

[onehandle]

2. I've never even been to Omaha.

I'm at Drinking Liberally Philly. Nowhere near Omaha.

Fuck the NRA!

[liberal N proud]

4. You should visit some time, one the top 10 coolest cities in the midwest.

[Buns_of_Fire]

30. Nice place. Nice people.

Had an apartment right behind a Mexican restaurant and a liquor store, and I first ran across "udder ointment" and "snow turds". What wasn't to like?

[aquart]

3. Have fun.

[Warpy]

5. I don't see where the post was locked

it's still there and can still be recommended and replied to.

[slackmaster]

22. Here's a link to the locked OP

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2279053

[CreekDog]

6. Nobody's asking you to leave, just can't figure out what the point of that OP was

can you help us out rather than simply being offended that anyone would question your motives and just explain what the hell that was about?

[loli phabay]

7. when you and i agree there must be something to it. seems the op is just trying to walk away from t

The many questions people are asking.

[Kingofalldems]

11. How ironic.

[loli phabay]

14. what questions do you have.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

20. +1

[CreekDog]

15. but frankly, your posts offend me far more often than he has (once, and he apologized)

so there you are.

[loli phabay]

16. and yours do i but it dosent stop me agreeing with you at times and being able to disagree

With respect.

[Omaha Steve]

9. I got it in an email from a war movie fan group I belong to

I really thought it didn't need commentary from me with my record for gun control. I'm not pissed. Just let down people that have known me for years didn't understand I was just showing an example of what goes around on the net from gun nuts.

In hind sight, I guess I should have said something about it being an just example of what is floating around. And included I don't agree with it. My bad.

OS

[CreekDog]

12. Thank you! That and a warning would have been a good preface

your explanation I think will be appreciated by a lot of people here.

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. What's the point of posting bigotry from a random person? We know it's out there

This wasn't from someone well known. I'm glad the post was hidden. The thread had no useful purpose at all.

[Omaha Steve]

18. So donate $5

And vote me off the island.

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. I don't think you need to go. Just move on from the unwise thread (nt)

[Omaha Steve]

33. NO useful purpose?

Had it not been for a member of a group I belong to sending me this, I wouldn't know how low the gun nuts (not responsible owners) are willing to go. Maybe I live in a bubble. My friends are progressives. I don't get crap like this in email at all. Again I don't agree with it. I didn't think anyone would think I do.

I listen to Rush from time to time or catch up on Media (http://mediamatters.org/) Matters. How else does a person know how to rebut talking points offered by any right wing-nut? That was the purpose of the post. Only to enlighten the unknowing like me.

OS

[UnrepentantLiberal]

24. I had the same thing happen.

I posted the exact opposite of what I meant, thinking everyone would know what my point was. Instead, people who weren't familiar with me started screaming at me and hid my post before I could let it play out and make my point.

It was an odd feeling.

[WilliamPitt]

8. You need an option for "Confused."

[LisaLynne]

13. All polls need that option. nt

[flamingdem]

10. This looks complicated and I'm tired

so I'm not even going to read it but I'll rec it for effort!

[slackmaster]

21. Steve, I know you and I disagree on some things but that was one of the worst locks in DU3 history.

Your intent in posting it was quite obvious to me. You got a dense alerter and an equally mentally challenged jury.

FREE OMAHA STEVE!

[rhett o rick]

23. I am not voting because I think the whole thing is absurd.

Of course you should stay. DU is getting scary. The self-righteous bullies seem to be running rampant. They see trolls everywhere.

[a la izquierda]

25. I figured you weren't posting your ideas...

But I wasn't sure what the hell I was missing.
A vote to keep ya around. You're a good egg.

[patrice]

26. I wouldn't be surprised if you are almost as much of a target for certain kinds of internet critters

as some others around here are, Omaha Steve.

Sorry! I'm broke.

28. Kick to the morning crowd

[malaise]

29. I love this thread

and you're not going anywhere. I voted to keep you here.

[Orrex]

31. I've wanted to vote you off for years because of your vitriolic anti-Union screeds

Count me in!

[Doctor_J]

32. Pro-gun, anti-choice, "right-to-work" Steve

amazing you've lasted this long.

Long may you wave.
