"The post simply asked: 'Is there anyone on DU that is paid by the Democratic Party or the White House...?' It did not make any accusations. However, some folks must think that to be the case, judging from the responses? Discuss."

...this is where this subthread started, with an entirely different question: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2902106

Yeah, I sure "some folks" think that.

Seriously, the effort put into this, the sneaky comments, the innuendo, the indirect accusations, the subtle digs, the "I'm not saying I believe it, but..."

...it has over the years become friggin hilarious. Hell, I had to stop posting the "blue linky" (I was becoming embarrassed for some people) and retired The List (not really). Ever notice that some people only hate lists that show Obama's accomplishments?
