This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Over-the-top incivility from a poster who has nothing to say. Calling DU members "neo-McCarthyites" for supporting a Democratic president is a rude and inappropriate personal attack that contributes nothing but bad feelings. Please hide, thank you.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's accurate.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Assholery is not against the rules.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Let's keep DU civil.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Nothing wrong with the truth. Nothing uncivil about the post in question. markpkessinger is correct, although the guilty can't seem to see it.
I think the alerter is reaching here with his own rude and inappropriate personal attack, with an alert that contributes nothing but bad feelings.
Leave it alone.
Carry on!
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

Truth Out on Wapo article: Ellsberg: Snowden Was Right to Flee the US flamingdem Jul 2013 #1

Hilariously, the guy who wrote this tripe sports an ACLU t-shirt. Tierra_y_Libertad Jul 2013 #2

An extreme front group for what or whom? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #3

Its a front group for Glen Greenwald's self-fellating, libertarian agenda. phleshdef Jul 2013 #7

Hahaha! Like I said. No clue as to what a front group is. Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #8

They're calling it a "front group" because it sounds ominous... joeybee12 Jul 2013 #12

Read your own posted definition. phleshdef Jul 2013 #19

And what pet projects of Glen[sic]'s would those be? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #21

The usual, NSA, Bradley Manning, Big brother is coming to get you, etc. phleshdef Jul 2013 #31

Any proof of your accusations? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #45

I never said they had ties to Rand Paul. phleshdef Jul 2013 #59

Could you link to an example of Alex Jones, Rand Paul type of material? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #61

They met using remote means in January, its not a false rumor. phleshdef Jul 2013 #65

In other words, Wikileaks Lite. randome Jul 2013 #67

Yes. Exactly. Couldn't have said it better. phleshdef Jul 2013 #70

I am communicating with you but I have never met you. Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #135

Hilarious. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #23

"Front group" harkens back to the 50s and red-baiting days of Joe HardTimes99 Jul 2013 #63

Your hyper sexual auto erotic themes today are not really the best. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #10

Says the guy that spends 99% of his posts trying to hijack the topic and make it about gay marriage. phleshdef Jul 2013 #13

Oh, so advocacy for equality bothers you, and semi pornographic comments about auto erotic Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #18

No. Hijacking topics that have nothing to do with the topic of equality bothers me. phleshdef Jul 2013 #24

So stop Hijacking this thread. You should link when you accuse you are utterly mischaracterizing Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #29

You are a piece of work. phleshdef Jul 2013 #33

Well you hijacked this thread with 'auto fellatio' comments, and that was not the first such post of Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #46

That wasn't a hijack. I was speaking directly to a subject in the OP. phleshdef Jul 2013 #51

"I'll do what I wanna do." ohheckyeah Jul 2013 #144

Yep. That was a dispicable post. Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #26

What I notice is that the OP does not respond at all, instead a tight group of others come Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #36

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the OP hasn't been back to his/her computer in the past few hrs? phleshdef Jul 2013 #43

Of course. Did it ever occur to you that the OP might be the author of the blog posted? Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #48

No, the OP is female, the author of the blog is male. phleshdef Jul 2013 #52

I think people are confusing me with flamingdem Jul 2013 #57

Hyperboblic mendacity. Prove your assertion if you can. You can't, so you won't. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #32

It does mean something. winter is coming Jul 2013 #77

Who is this mediocre McCarthyite you are quoting? Front Group? Seriously? Does he know what Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #6

It just struck me: Maybe the op is quoting the op. cali Jul 2013 #15

I do believe that to be the case. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #20

I think you might be on to something there, Cali. Tierra_y_Libertad Jul 2013 #22

This OP poster never responds but the same set of 'volunteers' responds for him. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #25

Your speculation on someone's privacy--i.e., the OP's identity, is quite ironic in a Snowden thread. msanthrope Jul 2013 #27

why? do explain why you think it's ironic cuz I'm missing that entirely. cali Jul 2013 #30

I am sure. nt msanthrope Jul 2013 #35

so why won't you explain it to poor stupid ol' me? cali Jul 2013 #40
