ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Absolutely disgusting post. This guy is a fucking lunatic. If this manic screed isn't distuptive, I don't know what is.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Mar 29, 2015, 08:53 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sorry, I happen to agree with this gentleman. Third Wayers are dangerous and needs to be removed from the Democratic Party because they are corporatist, right wing idiots that have no business being in politics in the first place, when they should be, in fact, reporting into a mental institutions to get their heads examined for the right-wing kind of thinking. So, WMWS is correct. Alert rejected as a Third Wayer whine, which the alerter should be suspended from alerting for a minimum of 120 days.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: yeah, the poster *must* be insane for posting this. nice language use there, alerter.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: When the alerter refers to someone as a "fucking lunatic" there should be a way to give them a hide. The alert is worse than anything in the post that was alerted on.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That is one bullshit alert...You should be alerted on for calling him a fucking lunatic and a manic.
But I don't know what "distuptive" is etheir.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
