On Tue Aug 11, 2015, 05:41 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Howard Dean: Open letter to progressives: You’re doing it wrong and it’ll cost the Democratic Party

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251510821

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Post is terribly misleading,,,implies clearly that Dean wrote the letter, when he did not write it . It is inappropriate because it is dishonest. Dean did not write it, but that is the clear impression. In effect, it is a lie...OP is totally giving wrong impression of who wrote this original comment

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Aug 11, 2015, 05:48 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I got that Dr Dean didn't write this article. The article is pretty brutal...not for the thin-skinned people that don't know/don't want to know that there are people out there with that opinion. No hide. Agree or disagree with the article in the thread with discussion.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is pointed out, many times, in the thread that Dean tweeted this letter but did not author it. That seems sufficient to me in correcting any misperception.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Stupid alert! Here's the content of the FIRST link in the post:

"Howard Dean: Open letter to progressives: You're doing it wrong and it'll cost the Democratic Party" - Dean CLEARLY WROTE THE TWEET!

Not misleading, not dishonest, not inappropriate.

Terrible alert.

Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: There is nothing wrong with this OP. The person who alerted on this OP has an agenda to silence anyone who has a different opinion than theirs.

That and throwing stink bombs AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #113

Apparently Dean's new-found fondness for the Oligarchy knows no bounds. 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #12

Nothing new: Dean "a moderate at best on social issues and a clear conservative on fiscal issues." Romulox Aug 2015 #19

That's kinda new to me 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #50

Probably because of the Anti-war thing Hydra Aug 2015 #95

He got angry on television, and that was enough for a lot of people Recursion Aug 2015 #109

I never understood why anybody ever thought he was a leftie. m-lekktor Aug 2015 #90

Neither did I. One of the 99 Aug 2015 #119

it was "the emperor has no clothes" for me in regards to him. m-lekktor Aug 2015 #120

Now that Howard Dean has #bowdownHowie to HRC with his endorsement, this tweet is not surprising. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #14

"we'll keep abortion legal, and that should be plenty for you" Doctor_J Aug 2015 #64

So how does Howard Dean now all of those online posters were progressives? Skwmom Aug 2015 #22

Probably because you can't tell the progressives from the RW bigots/racists. R B Garr Aug 2015 #56

The democratic party doesn't want progressives any more, so this is a moot point Doctor_J Aug 2015 #24

But they're more than happy to scapegoat them for the failure to elect their shit candidates. frylock Aug 2015 #35

of course Doctor_J Aug 2015 #65

How is one supposed to do it "right" when one is being attacked? Armstead Aug 2015 #94

Hey Howard, two words: John Kerry BuelahWitch Aug 2015 #101
