I had comments on Dean’s Iraq policy. I “questioned” people on dailykos. I am now given troll status and my comments are hidden.

DK is Nazi.

We know that Dean “became” anti-war over the summer as he wanted to be different than Kerry, et al. See kausfiles.com. You can see his conflict statements on Iraq on WashPost editorial a while ago. Even a week ago on CNN Inside Politics with Judy W., he made fun of religion. This weekend he has “discovered” Jesus.

I guess to “question” people of why they are supporting the ANGRY WHITE MAN is making people feel bad and they are resorting to hiding comments, etc.

The irony is that there is NO such blog structure for non-leftists. None. So, I think Dean will win.

On the other hand, I’ve not been banned by Hesiod, who one could easily argue fits the stereotype of the screeching leftist.

All in all, however, I guess it doesn’t bother me awful much, insofar as posting to a site where I’ll be guaranteed ichor and venom for my troubles is a site where reasoned argument won’t get a lot of support anyways.

My friends who are Deanies or such barely speak to me any more. I’m harshing their liberal buzz or something.

The current version of the Democratic Party must be smashed.

Works wonders, how silly people can be at times.

But yeah, any quote unquote liberal site than bans discussion is dictionary impared, they need to look up liberal. That’s why I call them lefties rather than liberals, it’s more accurate.

The real funny thing is that this comment thread reads like an exact mirror image of the “Lefty Hate” that y’all are bitching about. Talk about Sheeple and Group Think.

The constant here is a common aspect of human nature to divide the world into US and THEM, and the group psychology that emerges from this binary view. I haven’t seen anything in people’s attitudes and language here that looks even remotely different from the lefty sites that you disparage. It’s downright tribal.

“We’ve been around for 5 years and believe in free speech…

ALL views are welcome including the nuttiest leftists around!” — Andy B [I suspect but there is no "by" line]

I see where others have commented that the RNC has no blog, e.g., yankinlondon.

Chris complains that his post to that affect was ‘deleted’. If so, why wouldn’t yankinlondon’s be deleted as well, as it seems to be the same meme.

Furthermore, Chris has yet to provide any evidence supporting his allegation.

I suspect Chris B. Du(m)b or something worse.

The staff are conservative leaning but trust me, ALL views are welcome including the nuttiest leftists around!

Why is it ‘right wingers’ seem MUCH more tolerant in regards to free speech than supposed liberals?

“…everyone mispells something occasionally. Its childish to jump on someone for mispelling, and it shows that people don’t want to argue my point but merely say – hey that guys dumb, he can’t spell.” — Chris Dub

No. The point is not that you misspell things occasionally.

The point is you do it very frequently. So frequently that you seem to be an example of the vaunted public edjucation sistyms lak of sukksess in doeng wha itz soupposed to b doeng….

…teaching people how to function in society instead of social engineering.

If you can’t do the basic things necessary to interact with your fellow members of society, read, write, compute, what gives you the idea that they will accept your arguments relating to matters so lofty as politics?

P.S. I’d not mention ‘dumb’ in your posts if I were you. As things are now, some people might get the idea that you’re misspelling your surname…Du(m)b.

“The original post pointed out that no commments are allowed on the Bush blog, and the RNC doesn’t even have a blog.” — Chris Dub

Can you back up your allegation with proof? I haven’t read everything here. I don’t recall seeing your post in the first place.

From the DNC Blog’s “About” page:

“We don’t think so. One of the most common complaints about politicians and political parties is that there’s no real communication between those of us in Washington and the rest of America.”

“We put out press releases, email newsletters, fundraising appeals, form letters, and advertisements. You write letters, volunteer, and donate.”

“But where’s the frank, one-on-one communication? Blogs make that possible. On Kicking Ass, you’re going to meet real people at the DNC and hear our real thoughts. And we’re going to listen to you.”

“Frank”, “real thoughts”, “real communication”

Doesn’t sound like what you describe. Maybe they should add your post to their “About” page so we could see it for what it really is. Based on your description, I would call the current “About” page false advertising. Nothing new for the DNC.

One last thing, spelling doesn’t usually count for much on this Blog (I am terrible at spelling), but when you call the hosts hypocrites you should expect a little blow back. (I beleive that was a run on sentence)

The original post pointed out that no commments are allowed on the Bush blog, and the RNC doesn’t even have a blog.

Furthermore, the DNC blog is not set up to be a debating society. It is there so the DNC can communicate from their Democratic constitutents and build morale. They don’t want other opinions. This is censorship, but it is for a reason. Don’t cry because they won’t let you post there, that’s the beauty of blogs – go start your own.

“I, too, have been banned from the dailyKOS for the heretical notion of rebutting some of the more obnoxious comments…” — DakotaDem

Me too, but for different topics than Democratic candidates. Refute them, effectively, and they’ll ‘kill’ you.

Imagine what they’d do if they actually had power.

RE: Posting Policies

“In fact, the dailyKOS has explicitly stated his new policy of not allowing any criticism of Dean (and secondarily of Clark) as they are his “chosen ones”. ” — DakotaDem

It’s only logical. Can’t have people throwing ‘rocks’ in their ‘hall of mirrors’.
