4. Defend your position with something other than ad-hominem.

Relentless? Please stop hyperventilating for a moment. Divisive smack-talk is all you're doing.

Seriously.

I hadn't visited FDL in a long while until your post. Until you give specifics about how the current headlines
are "anti-Democrat" you have merely proven yourself to be a non-credible source.

As I look right now at the time of this post:

Headline 1: OWS update
Headline 2: Predictions for the Iowa Caucuses
Headline 3: Discussing minimum wage and the economy. Yup, it seems there is
a failed presidential promise in there but if mentioning it is "Anti-Democrat"
we have groupthink problems here on DU.
Headline 4: Discussing Indiana legislation creating a right-to-work state and mentioning what
Dems had to do to keep it from passing.
Headline 5: Dissection of N.C. Values Coalition head. Guess what? Not a Dem.
Headline 6: Discussion of European Recession
Headline 7: News roundup from last night. I *dare* you to find something "relentlessly anti-Democratic" in there.

So..... I await some actual proof rather than your case of the vapors.
