LOL !!! WillyT Feb 2014 #3

Who needs a 4th Amendment if you have a dreamy President!? villager Feb 2014 #4

I need to remember that one. EOTE Feb 2014 #9

There are "Teen Beat" (did you mean Tiger Beat?) threads in the BOG. cui bono Feb 2014 #12

That's probably what I was thinking of. EOTE Feb 2014 #18

I must disagree. It's not "supposed" to be a board of adults discussing serious rhett o rick Feb 2014 #30

Yeah, I was talking about DU, not specifically the BOG. cui bono Feb 2014 #35

I made that mistake before in another group. zeemike Feb 2014 #137

Well you arent the first to mention that some juries seem to be packed. nm rhett o rick Feb 2014 #138

NO its supposed to be about Democrats....the President just so happens to be one of them VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #132

"Cultists" TheMathieu Feb 2014 #6

But he's making the remark about cultists, not critics. Critics are intelllectually honest. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #10

You were expecting Aerows Feb 2014 #50

But that's what they are. He's talking about specific types of people. We saw the Bushies... cui bono Feb 2014 #14

Thank You For That !!! - Seriously... That Was Fantastic !!! WillyT Feb 2014 #117

It's always a pleasure to tell that story... SomethingFishy Feb 2014 #125

The retraction is what makes it all the more laughable Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #22

Yet you will not answer why it's ok in your book for other people to SomethingFishy Feb 2014 #23

Greenwald hasn't actually changed. His goal remains the same. nt Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #24

Ahh so now you are psychic.. and still not answering the question.. SomethingFishy Feb 2014 #28

You want me to post that pathetic retraction? Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #33

Still no answer. Speaking of pathetic... SomethingFishy Feb 2014 #36

Hillary supported Bush and the war on terror too. She "evolved" on Gitmo and gay marriage too riderinthestorm Feb 2014 #108

No, they are not. BTW, did you call Sen. Robert Byrd Hissyspit Feb 2014 #135

so do you continue to hold Obama's opposition to gay marriage against him? Doctor_J Feb 2014 #51

Because he doesn't believe it anymore? Hissyspit Feb 2014 #134

2005 you know back before racism was bad. nt arely staircase Feb 2014 #164

They don't care if Greenwald is a "bigot" or not. pa28 Feb 2014 #13

ROFLMAO... Yeah Journalists make a fortune... They live high on the hog in the 1% SomethingFishy Feb 2014 #31

Do you have evidence to support the claim that Greenwald's income Maedhros Feb 2014 #63

You are joking, 3 of 4 books Progressive dog Feb 2014 #104

So, um, "no" then. [n/t] Maedhros Feb 2014 #105

Yes it is obvious unless Progressive dog Feb 2014 #106

The argument that Greenwald is unmasking the activities of the NSA Maedhros Feb 2014 #107

That isn't an argument that I made. Progressive dog Feb 2014 #109

You imply that Glenn has changed his position on the NSA in order to milk the popularity Maedhros Feb 2014 #124

Again, you still don't get it Progressive dog Feb 2014 #141

You know this how? HangOnKids Feb 2014 #142

When someone has to retract their life to appear respectible... tridim Feb 2014 #32

Why would you say such an awful thing about President Obama? EOTE Feb 2014 #43

his attack of Greenwald had nothing to do with homophobia. why are you saying that? Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #49

No, I'm talking about Obama's refusal to support marriage equality. Did you miss the link? EOTE Feb 2014 #53

If that is what you're calling homophobia...well, I got news for you Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #55

You're right, how could I suggest such a thing? EOTE Feb 2014 #57

you can call it discrimination if you like....but the word homophobia is overused. same with Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #61

Funny how so-called democrats support homophobia and bigotry when it benefits them. EOTE Feb 2014 #72

It's ok if Obama supports it n/t Aerows Feb 2014 #75

Or anyone else with a (D) next to their name, it seems. EOTE Feb 2014 #80

If this was under Bush, you couldn't hear yourself think Aerows Feb 2014 #83

By the way, the person lecturing you here on homophobia was banned from DU QC Feb 2014 #118

Makes a lot more sense now. EOTE Feb 2014 #153

Call it whatever you want. The defense of Obama changing his mind SomethingFishy Feb 2014 #76

But he was willing to speak out against equal rights for all cui bono Feb 2014 #78

Hilarious! 'It's a love based sort of discrimination he advocated'. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #99

Well, given DU's own rules regard lack of support for marriage equality to be homophobia... Scootaloo Feb 2014 #127

I Feel Your Pain... WillyT Feb 2014 #45

A rightwing site like redstate couldn't have done better Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #52

So Obama Gets To 'Evolve' And Glenn Greenwald Does Not ??? - Is That what You're Saying ??? WillyT Feb 2014 #62

He Used To Be A Stoner... Nothing Wrong With That, So Did I... More Pictures Here: WillyT Feb 2014 #90

Hillary too, I guess is a bigot. She also supported Bush and the war on terror. riderinthestorm Feb 2014 #111

That's exactly what they're saying. The OP's description of them as a Cult is deadly accurate Doctor_J Feb 2014 #121

ABC news timeline list is a hit piece? What's wrong about it? cui bono Feb 2014 #82

I'm referring to WillyT's editorializing. Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #88

Have you noticed that many of these propagandists put words like Maedhros Feb 2014 #69

Yes and I find it interesting. Are they too embarrassed to call themselves conservatives? rhett o rick Feb 2014 #74
