(62,534 posts)DU moment? Better Believe It's increasing shift to right wing sources and dozens upon dozens of people falling for it.
Before that, possibly a breakdown with "smiling North Koreans." I'll never understand that one.
Before that, I'd have to say Obama winning the nomination and Hillary not doing the unthinkable and calling for a brokered convention. I sat there watching it live as the votes were counted. There were dozens of Hillary detractors that truly believed, all the way up to the end, that there would be an attempt at a brokered convention. It was asinine.
Before that, winning back the House in 2006. It was a foregone conclusion but there was a sigh of relief that it happened. Unfortunately it was short lived and had little impact on the MIC, much smaller than one would have hoped.
I would say, emotionally, before that, was 2004, and the Dean scream and subsequent crash for Dean's chances, but that was a terrible moment, so I don't like to look back on it. And yes most DUers were Deaniacs, it was a really really tough time for us as a whole. Most fell in line behind Kerry but I stopped posting almost entirely in that time. It was really stressful. I can't think of it causing much of a purge though because I recognize a lot of Deaniacs to this day.
