... from a "Democratic" site that has not only allowed the most vile things to be said about Democrats on a daily basis - but is in fact so proud of those vile things, they wind up on the Home Page?

Have you ever wondered what kind of newbies this site attracts, when the first thing someone new to the site sees is the anti-Dem rhetoric that greets them on their first contact with DU?

I keep wondering how many actual Democrats are still here. I'm sure that if you could magically erase all non-Dems from DU, you'd just see a bunch of tumbleweeds blowing across your monitor when you logged-in.
