A message to Hillary supporters and other Democrats (only): something you'll be gratified to hear

the Facebook page Democrat Cafe on Feb 24 posted a msg from the administrators announcing that they will be removing candidate bashing posts and issued the following warning to anyone posting "Negative" or candidate "Bashing" posts.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheDemocratCafe

ATTENTION DEMOCRAT CAFE : DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF NEGATIVE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE POSTS WE WILL BE SHUTTING THE GROUP DOWN TO ALL NEW POSTS IN THE LATE EVENING AND EARLY MORNING HOURS TO DO GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING AND TO REMOVE THESE NEGATIVE POSTS… PLEASE HELP US BY NOT POSTING THESE BASHING POSTS … WE WILL BE ISSUING WARNINGS AND BOOTING PEOPLE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES … IF YOU STICK TO POSTING FACTUAL POSITIVE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHOICE OF CANDIDATE THEN YOU WILL NOT HAVE YOUR POSTS SUBJECT TO DELETION AND/OR WARNINGS FROM THE ADMINS … THANK YOU … DEM CAFE ADMINS

The Rules of the Group are as Follows:

~~

No Disrespectful behavior, Name calling , Personal Attacks ...

Bashing of Democratic Candidates is not permitted


[font size="+1"]Now, this should NOT be interpreted as a suggestion to give up on DU. I am a firm believer in not letting the adolescent, vindictive, Hillary bashing GOPers have DU to themselves. I just wanted to let you know if you'd like to have a little break to see - engage in - some actual discussion without having to put up with GOP Candidate Bashers, there is a place you can go. But PLEASE don't give up on DU![/font]

I removed "hillary basher" from OP replaced with 'candidate basher' ... but what you refer to in your message is for the most part an empty set.

Just don't give the GOP true facts about the Queen. They are desperate. The truth hurts her, and they want none of it. They call it bashing.
