Reply #10: I think

some of the newbies are legit. DU has been getting a lot of mention from mainstream press. I think some of these newbies want Bush gone and came here. Problem is, they have been getting their news from corporate media, and coming here has been a HUGE shock to them. They can't believe what they are seeing/reading. Imagine if you had been watching CNN, MSRNC, and Faux for 3 1/2 years and all of a sudden came to DU - that would rock your planet a bit. Some of these folks need to back track, go and search alternative news sources and get some background knowledge before diving into posting here.

Now, as for the others, I think we have a whole lot of a freeper/CU posters here of late as well. Whenever there is a major story these freeping lurkers come out like cockroaches at midnight. It's kind of fun to watch them out themselves like insects attracted to a bug zapper.
