in perpetuating the current violence in Gaza.. 95% of it sounded as though it came directly from a Right Wing Site..
I so much wanted to this poster a ton of shit for his transparency. After I finished my comments, I immediately went to his/her thread and it was gone... Shit! I so much wanted to get at him/her..
I think once in awhile these type of trolling threads should be allowed to continue..
Its healthy to vent around here once in a while.. Especially at trolls..

(1,933 posts)Israel on CNN just said that the Palestinians are bringing this rampage on themselves. Blaming the victim. Sounds SO republican, doesn't it? What a disgusting excuse for a human being he is.

So I guess my question is, is DU only opposed to the GOP, or are we opposed to ALL far-right political parties? If not, why not?

(17,064 posts)by a handful of posters. No, I didn't alert... 1) I make it a policy to refrain from alerting. 2) They've pretty well exposed themselves as RW mouthpieces, so let them keep digging deeper. I'll let MIRT handle it.
A somewhat similar situation exists with the defenders of the RW Ukraine govt (which is Nationalist/Fascist in nature). However, they haven't been spewing party-line propaganda. Their position is essentially they hate Putin, therefore Ukraine govt is good. Pure binary thinking, it doesn't register with them that Putin AND Ukraine govt are both bad.

(28,749 posts)There isn't much we can do without alerts sometimes so it might be worth rethinking your alert methodology.
*Note I don't speak as a representative of MIRT, just one single member.
