In reply to the discussion: A Sincere Tribute To DUers Who Kept US Sane During the Bush Era. Will Pitt For One. Add Others! [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)people and all the information they provided on a daily basis. This was an amazing source of information, and as someone said above, 'we were ahead of the MSM by at least two years in knowing there were no WMDs in Iraq'. Among other things.
I just saw a few DUers, you included, I haven't seen in a long time. I remember, Elizabeth Edwards was a member here for a while.
I feel so sad by what happened in her life. Politics can be brutal, but she always seemed like a truly nice person, caring and down to earth.
Her death was so tragic. I hope her children are doing okay.
And Joe Wilson, who posted here asking us for support, airc. Which he naturally already had.
So nice to see you posting, oasis. It seems like just yesterday, but it's more than a decade ago, a decade and a half, a lifetime actually. Hard to believe.
So nice you got to meet Opi. And I'm glad Octafish who is a DU gem, is still here and was able to tell us what happened to Opi, even though it is such sad news.
You are welcome, I started the thread because I don't like to see good DUers like Will Pitt, who I do not know personally but do remember as a courageous voice who publicly challenged the Bush gang, being mocked in a deceptive OP by someone who, well, better to not go into that.
I just thought that this DU tradition of recognizing DUers for their efforts on all of our behalves, should not be allowed to be abused by deceptive use of it.
And that someone needed to post a thread that was honest and sincere and in accordance with that old DU tradition remembering all of those DUers who actually did keep us all sane at that time.
Take care and think you very much for your contributions to this thread, they made it so much better.
