I've alerted on it. Most recently about two weeks ago. Thankfully it was hidden.

As you know, I see feminists (call us "radical feminists" if you will) treated in similar ways, which is why I think we end up agreeing on so many of these matters.

Well many of our founders were also racist pricks Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #20

Are you saying you dont respect the founders of this country? nm rhett o rick Feb 2014 #22

You expect me to have respect for racist people who enslaved blacks and denied women rights? Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #23

So would you consider yourself a "malcontent"?? nm rhett o rick Feb 2014 #28

Depends on the issue. nt Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #31

Do you think our founders put together a decent government under the circumstances? nm rhett o rick Feb 2014 #33

No. The European parliamentary system is superior. nt Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #79

I agree and I'm very disappointed in this. NYC_SKP Feb 2014 #132

Considering that everyone wants to shut down all discussion of this very subject Aerows Feb 2014 #141

Discussing whether or not terms and phrases in their context is acceptable or not is one thing. NYC_SKP Feb 2014 #143

When the person who said it Aerows Feb 2014 #145

The poster was rounded and repeatedly called out, but merely doubled down with insults Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #48

WTF? progressoid Feb 2014 #72

Are you this agitated with the groups and individuals here that do nothing but shit on Africa Number23 Feb 2014 #81

I note the lack of links to even one similar post on DU. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #104

It's so funny that the one person that has been caught more times lying on this web site Number23 Feb 2014 #110

You are trying to justify "that posters" behavior? There are lots of people that rhett o rick Feb 2014 #25

That is no excuse to insult DU or duers. quinnox Feb 2014 #26

you attack DUers all the time on here with attacks on women and those who support Obama JI7 Feb 2014 #30

Nice try, but I have always said good things about DU quinnox Feb 2014 #32

yes you do when you bring up HOF BOG in threads JI7 Feb 2014 #35

Those are particular small groups on DU, DU as a whole is a totally different story quinnox Feb 2014 #37

there are multiple people in those groups , really ? racism is a lame excuse ? JI7 Feb 2014 #38

Yes, saying anyone exposed to racism is a good enough excuse to attack DU quinnox Feb 2014 #40

and you saying it's ok to attack groups of people because they may be small in number is pathetic JI7 Feb 2014 #41

I understand you trying to make it all about me, but I will make my position clear re: du smears quinnox Feb 2014 #44

oh, so you can decide who it's ok to attack on DU ? just like you did here JI7 Feb 2014 #45
