This place has jumped the shark. I got a hide for referring to Jill Stein as excrement. (HRC GROUP)

[grossproffit]

Is this the Green Party Underground now? Would I get a hide for referring to Trump as excrement?

On Mon May 9, 2016, 09:36 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Jill Stein is excrement. Also, how many people do you think a million dollars would employ?

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon May 9, 2016, 09:43 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Would Bernie is excrement be acceptable? Would Hillary is excrement be acceptable? Would 'shit' have been better? A difficult call ... but poster's name-calling doesn't advance the discussion.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: We can't say stuff like this about you-know-who, they can't say stuff like this either.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Good Grief!!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the alerter can't be bothered to supply some reasoning to the jury then it's safe to say the alert is baseless.

Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

1. They have delicate sensibilities. (But selectively.)

[PeaceNikki]

2. Not only are they jumping sharks, they are filling schoolbuses with sharks,

lining them up next to each other, setting them on fire, setting themselves on fire, and jumping the flaming schoolbuses filled with sharks, while flaming.

[Gothmog]

3. She is not a democrat

[Princess Turandot]

12. Or a member of DU. nt

[Laurian]

4. That's nuts....

and another reason to just not engage the defenders of BS (and apparently JS). Just let them talk among themselves until GDP is closed.

[workinclasszero]

5. "Democratic" underground is a joke

This place is a haven for greens, undercover republicans, libertarians and Bern victims.

Nothing democratic about this place I can see. TOS is constantly violated in regards to not advocating for any party except dems.

Packed Bernout juries let these type of post stand daily, owner of board is silent and lets them stand as well and he wrote the TOS!

37. Re: Left wing libertarians ...

It seems that they are all about the federal government working to expand/protect individual rights; while, opposing that same federal government from protecting/expanding collective rights ... unless, of course, that individual is LGBTQ, or poor, or anything that directly, and immediately, benefits that individual libertarian leftist.

IOWs ... IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE!

[Cha]

6. Guess you hadn't heard.. only BSrs can say things like that about Hillary.. if we have

an opinion about jill stein.. comparing her to a pos.. as in your case.. you get censored by the majority on this board.

The FUBARED jury system... you don't even know how many of my friends are on FFR for Weeks now.. just in Censored Limbo and they're being Ignored. It's rude.

I want to know why? That's like hell.. it's worse than being on a forced break by the hordes.. these hides were caused by the hordes but there's no set time to come back.. just in LIMBO.. it's NOT FAIR.

[liberal N proud]

7. You insulted one of their icons

They have many icons but only one hate.

[SharonClark]

8. Keep it classy, grossproffit

You don't have to stoop to their level to make you're point.

[otohara]

26. Agree

[misterhighwasted]

9. But Weaver said if we hurt their feelings they won't vote for Hillary in Nov!!!

His secret missile to finally get bernie to the GE.

"Hey Weeever!!!"


Guess what "We don't give a crap." Hillary wins without you.

[Sparkly]

10. Juror #2

"Would Hillary is excrement be acceptable?"

Sure it would.

[Fla Dem]

13. I wouldn't accept that, and I would alert. She is one of our candidates, while Ms Stein is not.

[Sparkly]

17. I totally agree. BUT...

... it seems anything said against Hillary Clinton is allowed to stand.

[carburyme]

23. Absofu__lutely

Remember the time when they said she can fuck a piece of wood or something and everybody in Bernieland is A ok with it and nothing happen in the multiple alert? I think that was the worst I've ever seen so far or wait what about a caricature almost a real pic of Hillary giving a blow job, jezusss, I think that was beyond offensive but they think it's a fair game...

[NYC Liberal]

14. Calling the Democratic president a "piece of shit" is totally okay too.

Plenty of people on DU defended that.

[Sparkly]

18. I can believe it.

[JustAnotherGen]

27. You left off the Used Car Salesman at the end

And you are correct - seems anything 'goes' as long as it is against a Democratic Party member. You notice that? *sigh*

Convention can't come fast enough.

[NYC Liberal]

28. How come they spend more time attacking the Democratic candidate than Donald Trump?

Hmmm.

[JustAnotherGen]

34. Ahem. . .

Because . . .

[Fla Dem]

22. OK, you were being sarcastic? Misunderstood.

It would be to them, not us.

[Fla Dem]

11. Juror #2 & #3 don't seem to realize Jill Stein is not a Democratic nominee.

[IamMab]

15. Jill Stein is an attention-seeking failure.

Calling non-Democrat Jill Stein a piece of shit is almost insulting to shit. At least shit can do something useful like become fertilizer.

[leftofcool]

16. Stein is an epic fail

[Her Sister]

19. They're defending JStein...probably they would defend Trump too!

That says it all! eom

[beachbumbob]

20. TOS doesn't mean squat in DU and why avoided this forum for years

The jury system is bogus as it allows TOS violations to proceed

[LisaM]

21. I probably wouldn't have phrased it that way....

OTOH I just read a comment saying that Paul Krugman has jumped the shark for suggesting Hillary is better than Trump.

[kstewart33]

24. FWIW, excrement is not a word that I would have used.

Keep it clean, guys.

[GusBob]

25. I heard that someone here referred to our president as a a piece of shit

and he got like a gazillion likes

now he is off pouting somewhere planning attacks on HRC

[Vogon_Glory]

29. I would not have called her excrement, BUT

I would not have called Stein excrement, but I would have called her on her ####. For the lbenefit of the low-information portion of what's-his-name's fan base, Stein is a GREEN, NOT a Democrat. That makes her a target for barbs and mockery.

[LW1977]

30. I think Jill Stein has as much of a chance winning the White House as a pile of Excrement!

:biggrin:

[MFM008]

31. Dont feel bad

I got a hide for Saying Sanders must have jumped the Pope outside the bathroom hallway to get a meeting with him.
Just a joke. People are ssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sensitive around here they should be but in a burn unit.

[skylucy]

32. Stein is not even a Democrat! I guess we had all better be careful about saying anything "mean"

about Palin, Cruz and Trump. After all, they don't like Hillary and that makes them heroes to certain people who spend their time on DU lurking and alerting.

[72DejaVu]

33. I don't think I'd call her excrement

I might call her an anti-vaxxer lunatic who is the mouthpiece for a fringe party of crackpots that is funded behind the scenes by right wing extremists.

But I wouldn't call her excrement.

I don't think.

I'll have to give it more thought.

[Henhouse]

35. Unbelieveable...

It is a direct violation of TOS to post messages that support third party candidates but none of the people supporting her raised an eyebrow.

[Koinos]

36. Soon we will hear Bernie announce Stein (or even Nader) as his VP choice.

That should turn the heads of superdelegates his way for sure.

I predict a book with movie rights coming out of his campaign: "Bernie in Wonderland."

The setting will be a parallel universe, where logic, math, and reality are banned.

It will be filmed entirely in black and white, like Bernie's simple absolutes.

Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon will co-direct. Tad Devine will produce the promos.

An actor playing the pope will make a cameo appearance.

The script is one that will write itself.

Production costs will be paid by $27 donations.
