Does DNC now mean "Definitely No Clue?"
If you remember a previous post of mine, I discussed a comment made recently on the Laura Ingraham Radio Show:…
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."

Alienboy thinks David Flanagan is 'hateful'? Is he from the bizarro world? From what I've seen Flanagan is a nice, polite fellow with relatively moderate views.
Dave N, you told me last night that you would be the first to 'bash' someone who resorts to flames and rants from the Right.
This post is nothing but a rant, a flame, from the Right about how 'stupid' Democrats are. You said you'd be the first to stand up to a homophobe, a racist, or a school christianizer (Dave, meet David). Change the word Democrat in the post above to gay, or black or heathen. How is the post different than one you would claim to cut down?
But make the word 'Democrat' and you congratulate the guy on 'moderate views'.
You tell us here at BlogCritics, Dave, that you are politically neutral but that we haven't seen it in action just yet. As a fellow member, I ask you, 'when is it coming into play?'

Yeah Dave - if you're anywhere to the right of Steve, your views are EXTREME!
The problem, it's extremely difficult not to be to the right of Steve!

Turn it on me, if you want, Andy, it doesn't gloss over the fact you guys are trying to label a Democrat bashing post that has no journalistic merit as 'moderate'.
'What a major coup?' he congratulates Ingraham? Um, is this why it's all over the news now? Oh, wait...
Whether I am extreme or not is irrelevant to the fact of what you guys are trying to do here.

Steve - buddy, I've seen this kind of thing from both sides...remember the little mpeg floating around of Bush flipping the bird? Or Cheney telling, who was it, Hollings? to go fuck himself? These are the kinds of things that blooper shows are made of! But I don't recall any noise about those stories. Why does it bother you that someone points out that the plagarist Biden is an idiot?
On another note, you are pretty extreme!

It wasn't about that, it was about the whole of the Democratic party. See the gist of my complaint for further elaboration.

From you, that is a compliment. Thank you.

You're very welcome...I think.

>>Dave N, you told me last night that you would be the first to 'bash' someone who resorts to flames and rants from the Right.<<
Not what I said at all. I said that if someone came out in unreasoning advocacy of a loony rightist position I'd harangue them. Being anti-Democrat isn't necessarily outrageous. And I never said word one about rants or flames. That's just a style of self-expression. It says nothing about the substance of the criticism.
>>This post is nothing but a rant, a flame, from the Right about how 'stupid' Democrats are.

Because he didn't SAY 'gay, black of heathen'. He said Democrat. And as far as I'm concerned political parties are fair game.
>>But make the word 'Democrat' and you congratulate the guy on 'moderate views'.<<
I was talking about his posts in general. If you go back and read post 20 or 24 he's really very reasonable. He's not ranting or flaming at all.
>>You tell us here at BlogCritics, Dave, that you are politically neutral but that we haven't seen it in action just yet. As a fellow member, I ask you, 'when is it coming into play?'<<
When Flanagan says something that's offensive or delusional. Right now all he's done is point out a few inconsistencies in Democrat behavior in a relatively polite way with plenty of factual information to back up his comments. If you think he's flaming or ranting you don't know what those terms are.
As for his original post and how he thinks Democrats are stupid, he point to a couple of examples of Democrats doing something stupid - and I have to agree the examples he gave supported that position - and then he drew the relatively mild conclusion that they seemed 'clueless'. I'm sorry, it's not a rant. It's logically consistent and draws a reasonable conclusion from established facts. It would be nice to see some of our outspoken Democrats on BlogCritics using some actual facts in their arguments rather than veering into emotion and insults.

Andy my dear, you and I are both extreme... although my version of extreme is more palatable than yours ;)
But at least we don't insult each other.
