Where else can you go and read so many dissenting posts slamming Democratic politicians. Well never mind FR, if they slammed republicans as hard, they would be booted.

However, has anyone noticed how open, accepting and tolerant this forum is of different views. We are indeed a big tent here, and for that I am glad to be a part of it.

No this post is not sarcasm, I really enjoy the diversity here. I have grown as an individual, I am more well informed than most in my community, I have had my opinions shaped by the knowledge that so many of you have offered to me. Some times making me eat crow, put my tail between my legs and go slinking off to mull over what I was taught.

1. We all dine on crow from time to time here at DU

Marinating it overnight in buttermilk removes a lot of the objectionable flavor.

4. LOL

13. Oh, now that's just plain nasty

Shame on you for entertaining such a thought.

3. not so much lately

as someone with a dissenting opinion on Syria, it has been brutal on some who hold the same opinion. Lots of yelling going here.

6. "Open, accepting and tolerant"

Maybe relative to FR.

Objectively? Not so much as it used to be. Disagreement, as said before, on certain topics will get you a heap of vitriol these days.

7. Personally, I love a good debate, up to the point where personal attacks ...

come into play. Then I just scold them and move on.

8. Yeah I noticed that also

10. Keep coming back, it works!

11. Freepers Bash other Republicans all the time, they are full of attacks on boehner

mccain, graham, and just about anyone who isn't at the level of PAlin or Limbaugh. they think O'reilly is a liberal.

14. Only from my personal standpoint, and it's not all the time, but right now, I find this so ironic.

But I guess you roll with the punches.
