People literally JUMPING up to protest their "innocence" when no one accused them of being guilty. And then wonder why so many black posters are laughing our asses off right now.

Poster A: If you engage in right wing smears/lies/outright bullshit to attack this president, we can't rule out that racism may be one of the reasons for it
Poster B: STOP CALLING ME A RACIST!1

I can't help it! I am DYING!!!!

good analogy Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #112

Exactly. Too many people basically shone the light on their true feelings. None of those OPs Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2013 #103

I'm not saying don't do it at all. I'm saying do it because I don't give a shit what you call me. liberal_at_heart Jun 2013 #48

Why do you think anyone is calling YOU anything? Or talking to you? Or thinking about you at all? Number23 Jun 2013 #54

then you are in the wrong place Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #137

Except that that is not what at least two posts said. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #55

The posts I saw were very specific. And people still whelped and squealed. Number23 Jun 2013 #59

If that many people took offense, Hissyspit Jun 2013 #64

People chose to take offense. Maybe it was because they knew the post was directed at them Number23 Jun 2013 #68

So who ARE you calling out by posting this? Union Scribe Jun 2013 #125

Now, now, don't take away their fun... sibelian Jun 2013 #156

I doubt that there are many Rand Paul followers on DU - they usually get zapped by MIRT within a Douglas Carpenter Jun 2013 #22

Then you've missed threads with long term members, saying they'll vote for Rand in 2016. freshwest Jun 2013 #115

no Ihave not seen any such threads. Still I'll take your word for it that there might be a few. Douglas Carpenter Jun 2013 #121

True, but MIRT has no power over long termers as you know. And while depressing the 2014 vote now freshwest Jun 2013 #132

that policy might change soon. Lots of Paulites here and even EarlG is on their side. Whisp Jun 2013 #166

I don't believe that. I have known any number of Paulites in real life and I know how they think. I Douglas Carpenter Jun 2013 #170
