The hippo/fat limbaugh video is terribly innapropriate on a liberal board [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Ptah (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

I can't believe how much this site has changed. Is our politics so coarse now that we cannot be sensitive and careful about these kinds of things?

I alerted on the post, I agree that limbaugh sucks, I knew that fact 15 years ago when I first had someone dittohead on me in a conversation (I could not stand the guy likely before most had not heard of him).

The vote was to leave it.

But seriously, stereotyping groups, even when making a political point... actually *especially* when making a political point, is *regressive*. It is a step backwards. It is not a good thing to do on a liberal board. Someone could get banned for it when the site was moderated.

Folks, our values are important. It is what makes us different than the Republicans. Let's work to keep it that way?
