ALERTER'S COMMENTS
If calling a prominent Democratic official a "slack-wit" doesn't violate the TOS or otherwise cross the line, I'm not sure what will.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Nov 30, 2015, 03:05 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't even know if 'slack-wit' is an offensive term but all candidates have certainly been called worse here. Please stop with the ridiculous alerts.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Oh, for fuck's sake. Just hide it. Though, sadly, I fear that this slam dunk TOS violation will not get a jury hide these days.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: From the DU TOS: "Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working within the system to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of political office." and "Winning elections is important â therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground."
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There are many "prominent democratic officials" who should be called much worse than slack wit.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
