ALERTER'S COMMENTS
He said, "Are you fucking Gullible? Or what?"
This is not the way to speak to members of Democratic Underground. Calling everyone who thinks that the deaths of both men was a tragedy to be avoided, "fucking gullible" is insulting, and intentionally insulting to many here on this board.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Aug 20, 2014, 08:41 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not aimed at anyone specific. Written in exasperation at what he thinks is a lack of comprehension on the part of others, not as an insult. I think he's wrong on his point, but not violating TOS.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The discussion should stand, although I do not agree with OP. If the right wing media is trying to build a false equivalency, shame them for it. Get the facts out. Take them on and don't let them drive the discussion. Come on, DU, are we up for a fight or aren't we?
The biggest problem with the OP is its defeatist tone. That's not a reason to hide it.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
