if you want a Bernie cryathon then post your own OP!

Moreover, I'm gonna tell you something else. I happen to like a politician that when bought, stays bought. It's called "consistency" - and Bernie should maybe try it sometime. Except there isn't an investment bank in the world that wants to buy into Bernie! The loser!

Why does Daily Kos allow less Hillary-hate diaries than DU? [View all] ericson00 Aug 2015 OP

Before anyone posts here they should ask themselves: SonderWoman Aug 2015 #1

Great advice. KMOD Aug 2015 #42

This site has been hijacked IMO MaggieD Aug 2015 #45

so go to the ask the administrators and tell Skinner that he's behaved disgracefully cali Aug 2015 #73

I agree.... BooScout Aug 2015 #75

No, the site hasn't been hijacked at all, you are outnumbered by people with different opinions. sibelian Aug 2015 #122

No, that doesn't matter in the slightest. sibelian Aug 2015 #121

"Hillary-hate"? Trash thread. n/t winter is coming Aug 2015 #2

using cooked up "scandals" that made hay but yield nothing to attack Democrats (not socialists) ericson00 Aug 2015 #5

I have seen absolutely zero threads on any of those subjects. Maedhros Aug 2015 #13

Could you link to a few threads attacking her on any of those issues? AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #24

Looks like you are the one "cooking up scandals" since no one here has brought those things up LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #132

oh yes they have ericson00 Aug 2015 #133

Those are links to politifact and the Chicago Tribune. Where on DU has she been smeared with those LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #135

actually if you read some of the posts others made (you can read them, i'm not calling out) ericson00 Aug 2015 #137

OK, link to some such posts here on DU. I'll wait LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #140

You mean like these? Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #147

I guess you've missed the last 20-30 years. Just this morning a Sanders supporter posted... George II Aug 2015 #77

if I could KNR a single post, I would ericson00 Aug 2015 #107

So would I, ericson00. calimary Aug 2015 #117

No, that's not "Hillary-hate", George sibelian Aug 2015 #123

The "why I won't vote for Bernie Sanders" post was a retort to the Hillary Clinton post. George II Aug 2015 #145

This message was self-deleted by its author whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #3

I think you need to post it in Teen Idol Magazine tularetom Aug 2015 #4

Chris Matthews dishonoured the Clintons for most of his career and attacked Gore in 2000 ericson00 Aug 2015 #8

You're betraying your conservative bona fides, here. Maedhros Aug 2015 #16

Jesus no shit! ibegurpard Aug 2015 #21

Straight out of the Republican playbook. Maedhros Aug 2015 #22

the political effect of Welfare Reform was very, very helpful ericson00 Aug 2015 #27

yeah, nothing like kicking poor people in the ass to keep Rupublicons quiet. Kip Humphrey Aug 2015 #35

A lot of those people were lifted out of poverty anyway during the Clinton years ericson00 Aug 2015 #38

Save the "Oh, but it could have been so much worse". It is the rationale of the fearful. Truth is, Kip Humphrey Aug 2015 #41

Indeed, Democrats should just adopt Republican policies, then we'd win ALL the red states! LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #136

So the ends justify the means? frylock Aug 2015 #55

Political effect before people, you say. azmom Aug 2015 #56

Destroying society to win seats. sibelian Aug 2015 #125

Hmmmmmm AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #29

wow! wendylaroux Aug 2015 #97

"a second chance, not a way of life" - well, there we go. sibelian Aug 2015 #124

that was actually one of Clinton's campaign platform promises ericson00 Aug 2015 #131

Oh look, someone backing a Republican policy (welfare "reform") also backing Hillary LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #134

if you either watch Clinton's old ads ericson00 Aug 2015 #138

So you want me to use the opinion of the guy that wanted to pass it to prove that it should be LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #141

Good question,there was a time when right wing sources sufrommich Aug 2015 #6

the only time RW sources should be allowed is to call out their BS ericson00 Aug 2015 #7

I agree, using Tucker Carlson eg, to slam Bernie Sanders with a smear campaign, passed here now sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #14

I never used Tucker Carlson, etc. tho people here have used Barney Frank, ericson00 Aug 2015 #20

Frank is right, he too was considered to be unelectable, a comic from SNL? UNELECTABLE! sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #28

Barney Frank on SNL? Don't you mean Al Franken? bettyellen Aug 2015 #31

Yes, you are right. But the same applies to Barney, who was supposed to be unelectable sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #33

Barney Frank was elected in the one of the most progressive states in America ericson00 Aug 2015 #36

You have not responded to the FACT that your claim re DK is totally false, proven in sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #40

More electable in Vermont perhaps. okasha Aug 2015 #68

Except fot the fact that he has climbed to 25% while Hillary has dropped from 60+ to 49 LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #139

When Barney was serving on Beacon Hill and living w/his mother, everyone knew he was gay. MADem Aug 2015 #127

so now The New Yorker, Mother Jones, The NYT, Slate, Salon, etc are right wing sources? cali Aug 2015 #74

Disruptive Meta demmiblue Aug 2015 #9

this is not a meta. This relates to our primary ericson00 Aug 2015 #10

Exactly. KMOD Aug 2015 #12

thanks KMOD ericson00 Aug 2015 #39

Except that it's totally false. Daily Kos has dozens of diaries on both the issues the OP claims sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #44

The fact that so many seem upset about this thread, KMOD Aug 2015 #47

Wow, you have been told that lies are contained in this OP about the ADMINS of this site sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #62

H supporters still think they can dictate the narrative....smh. artislife Aug 2015 #119

You could say the same about Hillary posts demwing Aug 2015 #116

Well when you use DK as a model for this forum, you instantly lose liberals who are more than sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #18

I don't think I'm allowed to single out any person in this post ericson00 Aug 2015 #23

Truth, ericson, I think DU okasha Aug 2015 #66

+1000...n/t BooScout Aug 2015 #80

Still waiting for the 'Hillary Hate' links. Otherwise this is META, it is complaining about DU sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #30

if someone links, KMOD Aug 2015 #46

What? If someone links to DK diaries proving the OP wrong, how on earth is that a callout? sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #49

how about recent ones, like in the past 2.5 months ericson00 Aug 2015 #76

good thing I don't fall for the bait ericson00 Aug 2015 #50

lol. you're leaving a trail of mouth foam. gotta love the cogdis cali Aug 2015 #78

"Private prisons" is a "cooked-up scandal?" Maedhros Aug 2015 #11

sorry, its been debunked ericson00 Aug 2015 #15

She just posted unsupported opinion. Maedhros Aug 2015 #19

LOL. that was so not a debunking. m-lekktor Aug 2015 #51

You're right. okasha Aug 2015 #106

The ones complaining most about criticism AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #115

It is about baiting her and HRC supporters into hides but it appears to have backfired. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #95

That was a good jury. okasha Aug 2015 #105

Ask Kos ibegurpard Aug 2015 #17

Hello? --> Daily Kos: "Private Prison Corporations Stand With Hillary Clinton" 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #25

Lol, well there goes that claim! sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #34

Your OP is a 'cooked up scandal' AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #26

Why? Because DailyKos doesn't want to lose in 2016! (nt) Herman4747 Aug 2015 #32

Apparently they DO want to lose since they have 'allowed' the facts re Private Prisons to be sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #37

And pants suits Doctor_J Aug 2015 #61

Well lets be clear that criticism of HRC is f7ne with me but some of the posters here go beyond hrmjustin Aug 2015 #52

Agreed. okasha Aug 2015 #71

Or for trump. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #72

I don't think Trump will.make it to the nom. okasha Aug 2015 #84

I'd give Trump a 55/45 chance of the nomination ericson00 Aug 2015 #103

There are a lot of noisy skeletons in Trump's closet, okasha Aug 2015 #108

they're not gonna get him on mafia, the mafia is mostly dead, and if they're not, ericson00 Aug 2015 #110

The old Mafia, no. okasha Aug 2015 #113

Can you help classify which of these are valid criticisms and which are made-up bullshit? LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #142

I'll never use the term "hero" in conjunction with a politician. cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #53

but I and many others will for American patriotic public servants ericson00 Aug 2015 #54

Except the people they "put first" tularetom Aug 2015 #58

Your last sentence should be the gold standard for DU. procon Aug 2015 #57

Very well stated. Thank you. William769 Aug 2015 #63

Bravo! okasha Aug 2015 #64

I honour our party heroes and the Democratic team who saved America from one-party rule ericson00 Aug 2015 #79

Yay for centrism and triangulation! bunnies Aug 2015 #82

any particular reason, you don't use the American spelling of 'honor'? HFRN Aug 2015 #86

No it isnt Cosmocat Aug 2015 #129

You can only pull it off so long PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #81

boy aint that the truth wendylaroux Aug 2015 #102

Hey, thanks. okasha Aug 2015 #109

what are you talking about!? wendylaroux Aug 2015 #112

well, perhaps we should appoint you the official censor of DU HFRN Aug 2015 #85

' if you smear Democratic Heroes, you're hurting the cause' HFRN Aug 2015 #87

Democratic Underground coopted really what would make one think that..... Historic NY Aug 2015 #88

You might get more people to agree with your POV at ThirdWay.org. Why not leave and go there? leveymg Aug 2015 #89

at least 40% of this site supports Hillary ericson00 Aug 2015 #90

not nearly 40% according to du polls. cali Aug 2015 #92

where r the DU polls? got any? ericson00 Aug 2015 #98

of course they're not scientific, but hundreds of duers vote in them. cali Aug 2015 #100

I can't link you. I'm on.my tablet and the search function doesn't show on my screen cali Aug 2015 #104

Actually, it's more like 80/20. But, reality may not be so important to you. leveymg Aug 2015 #94

btw, that should be 'fewer' in your op title, not 'less' cali Aug 2015 #91

I'm especially outraged by the swarm of DUers accusing Hillary and her supporters delrem Aug 2015 #93

Your outrage is misdirected. It's HRC supporters who have smeared Sanders with a racist meme leveymg Aug 2015 #96

Look bub, this is a Hillary cryathon, delrem Aug 2015 #114
