I Condemn Myself

As many of you probably know, I am a fairly regular poster over at Democratic Underground (I am guessing you know it, since nearly two thirds of my hits are directed here from DU). I enjoy discussing ideas and strategies with other Democrats, despite occasionally seeing opinions that I find reprehensible. But never did I realize that by posting at Democratic Underground I was really acting as a traitor.

Thank goodness a new blog has arisen to show me the light. Here is a quote from that blog, which posted its first post on Monday and has yet to post a second (industrious folks over there).

The Mission of the Wolverines is to Savage DU in retribution for the treasonous activities in regards to soldiers in combat. They are providing direct aid and comfort to the enemy in the tradition of Hanoi Traitor John Kerry. Their comments degrading soldiers have gone beyond acceptable levels and have now reached the level of treason. We join http://www.hundredpercenter.com in calling for an investigation by the Federal Government and prosecution where applicable. We also call for the shutting down of DU as a Terrorist Supporting web site. Soldiers are dying and DU is helping the enemy and mocking the soldiers. This cannot be tolerated. You are with us or against us in the War on Terror - and they are against us.

Yes some posters at Democratic Underground have made comments that go a little beyond the pale. When you get a large group of people together to discuss issues, you are going to get some extremists. However when posts are actually made attacking the troops, there are also numerous responses attacking such posts.

Incidently by this same logic, Free Republic is a racist and bigoted site. I'm guessing, however, this sort of logic doesn't apply to Free Republic.

Fortunately, however, DU Wolverines has a solution. They will post disruptive posts at Democrat Underground to bring them down. Under the various types of infiltration they encourage is the Suicide Mission.

This is the most basic mission of charging in and getting yourself banned after letting the bastards know how you feel. Make sure you take screen shots or note the post in some other ways and post it at CU so we can all enjoy your brave assualt on these traitorous cowards. Your post will surely be deleted and you quickly tombstoned... so documentation is a must for full effect.

Yes it's so brave to post a hateful message on messenger board. That definitely qualifies as a "brave assault." I personally would put it right behind the charge of the light brigade.

Charging Democratic Underground with treason, however, is a bit more serious matter. I don't seriously think it will go anywhere, but it is indicative of the mentality of many Republicans.
