Even if it wasn't, even here at DU we have bigotry or levels of intolerance. Some posters are derogatory about people of faith, people seen as having more conservative views than the poster has, people who are wealthy, those who send their children to private schools, people who enjoy participating in horse events, or someone who even doesn't agree with a certain point. Some of the comments on the dressage threads were lamentable. There are many loyal Democrats and progressives who wear designer clothes, but many here can get really snarky when republicans do. And there are many people of all kinds who can be stiffnecked and even belligerent in promoting or defending their views, even when they are generally correct in the progressive sense.
The poll question was over the top, but perhaps the affirmative answers were expressing what they see rather than what they think should be. I think BOG PERSON could have been more diplomatic, but there is a point behind the remarks. I see that crop up all the time in our county party, especially when important elections are close.
