I am not, by any stretch of the imagination (even yours) a 'conservadem'.

What I stand for or support is not the topic here. The topic was OWS and those who support it or don't.

Why are you insistent on changing the subject? It leads me to believe you can't (or won't) support your own statements about the actual topic-at-hand.

Attempting to change the subject when cornered is most unbecoming.

So just a reminder: The topic we were discussing was who supports OWS and who does not.

Your contention was that only 'conservadems' bad-mouth and disparage the Occupy movement.

Would you care to back that up - or not?

Sabrina is actually more capable than I, I just have a great deal of respect for her Dragonfli Feb 2012 #70

She did not provide links Summer Hathaway Feb 2012 #71

I would never alert on your post, it is within rules and nowhere near offensive Dragonfli Feb 2012 #77

I dont alert often and I didnt alert on her post. rhett o rick Feb 2012 #105

To be honest, what she said about me was fair, I was being a condescending asshole at the time Dragonfli Feb 2012 #107

Dragonfli, You read Sabrina's post correctly suffragette Feb 2012 #72

How disheartening, right wing attacks against OWS openly in a DU post, The Republicans in (D)rag Dragonfli Feb 2012 #80

On way to spot them is that they never discuss issues directly. rhett o rick Feb 2012 #100

I have a belief that a brain disorder in Republicans makes grammar and spelling impossible Dragonfli Feb 2012 #101

LOL, you say that in response to my post where I said "on" in lieu of "one". rhett o rick Feb 2012 #102
