Other than being a source of contributions of the extreme left wing, what exactly is the point? Different opinions other than liberal talking points are strictly forbidden (as will be seen when this diary is quickly taken down and the account that made it is banned from posting again) so it's obviously not here to create a dialog. It seems to be a site with a few thousand members that constantly pat each other on the back and all say/believe the exact same thing.
Shouldn't one of the goals of a site like this be to introduce new people to your ideas and try to persuade them? What do you think an independent voter thinks when he hears about this site on MSNBC or whatever and decides to see what it's all about and sees the headlines that are featured daily here:
REPUBLICANS WANT ALL PEOPLE DEAD
OBAMA FOUND TO BE RIGHT ON EVERYTHING AGAIN
REPUBLICANS WISH THE WORLD WAS A LOT DIRTIER
REPUBLICANS HATE EVERYONE WHO IS NOT WHITE
REPUBLICANS HATE EVERYONE WHO IS NOT WHITE
REPUBLICANS HATE EVERYONE WHO IS NOT WHITE
And for the last two weeks only:
RUSH LIMBAUGH HATED MORE THAN SATAN
...oh and of course every single possible Republican candidate is a complete moron. That one I might give you because even though any of these clowns would be 1000x better than Obama they are nowhere near the best our side has to offer.
A few of you not too scared to admit you are capable of independent thought have to admit Obama being elected had very little to do with the man himslef. We knew close to nothing about him and what we did know was mostly bad--voted "present" on almost every single bill written during his very short time in office, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers...etc. The reason Obama was elected was quite simply John "Weakest Candidate in History" McCain and his running mate who was quite successfully smeared into being one of the most incompetent human beings to ever walk the earth (not counting the current vice president of course).
It all comes back to my question... What exactly is the point of this site? I tune in for the humor and to see what the most extreme crazy left wing fanatics happen to believe on any given day and I still will when this account is banned here in a few minutes. I enjoy it and get laughs daily but I've always been curious what the defining purpose of the site is.
Only--I know the answer. I've said it already. To act as a fundraising tool for far left wing wackos who think we should live in teepees and ride bicycles everywhere and to pat each other on the back all day everyday for agreeing with each other. Anything wrong with that? Hell no! It just seems like some of you might get bored and actually want to discuss issues and have a debate once and awhile. I know this is where liberalism always falls flat on its' face and it's one of the many reasons dissenting opinions are not allowed here, but doesn't it get boring once and awhile?
