"ridiculing" the BOG are some of the ones here that I find have very little to contribute. About anything. EVER.

Their incessant focus on the BOG and BOGgers is the one thing they adhere to like a bloated tick otherwise they would never have anything to talk about. Anyone that has a problem with President Obama and his supporters on a Dem (or that bills itself as such) web site in an election year in which Repubs have OPENLY stated they wish to reverse women's rights, civil rights, progress on the environment etc. is letting out a massive cry for help. They deserve our pity much more than our scorn.

But I understand what you are saying. The personal attacks, the 4th grade behavior, and the people whose lives are so empty that they actually chase people WHO DO NOT MATTER around this web site hounding them is a new low, even for DU. MineralMan has annoyed me soooooooo many times over his posting tenure here I've lost track and the comments he's made are worthy of denouncing. But considering the man has no power whatsoever and that some of the folks burning calories chasing after him don't have a leg to stand on their damn selves when it comes to disgusting, offensive comments makes all of this even more absurd.
