The real reason a very loud few are posting hostility toward Barack Obama at DU:

72. You gotta wonder if there is indeed an infiltration problem.....

That might also help explain the actions of certain of the most extreme "white privilege" pushers* and even some of the radfem nuttiness("all men are potential rapists" for one)** as well, including perhaps even here on DU.....though, OTOH, I'd say DU isn't nearly as affected as places like RawStory and ThinkProgress in particular, which seem to have had some real problems with faux-lefties infesting their comments board as of late(for the former: see if you can find that Ani DiFranco plantation controversy from just before Christmas last year. Plenty of examples to be found there).

*By the way, for those of you who DO believe in WP here on DU, but aren't one of those who's been pushing some of the more fringe stuff like the "People of Color can't be racist, period" in our faces, or been attacking people who disagree with you.....well, don't worry, because this isn't referring to you.

**Regular feminists, please note this is not at all directed at you, either; if you haven't been pushing the fringe stuff("all men are potential rapists&quot or attacking people who disagree with you on things, then this also doesn't involve you.
