I have seen posters who made homophobic comments much milder than this insane rant banned within minutes, even on a Sunday morning. . Yet the person who spewed this post remains in good standing here and is supported by members who pretend to be "progressive." It's one thing when an individual flames out, but quite another when jurors and the Administrators make themselves complicit.

It's sad that DU has sunk to the level of the Santorums and the Huckabees.

Enjoy your holidays because I sure will! Iliyah Dec 2015 #1
