Good lord it's cold over in GD.

1. Bleeding heart liberal??? They might have meant it as a dig,
but when I'm called that, I SMILE WIDE... and say yes my heart BLEEDS... because I HAVE ONE ...

be proud of yourself.

3. I take it as a compliment too
but I don't really expect that sentiment from people on DU. Particularly under these circumstances. Scary.

2. I was accused of being a
cold-hearted bastard, not in so many words though. I need a drink.

25. unfortunately I agree..
this is the worse time for Democrats to be pissing on each other. I don't understand why anyone in this forum would enjoy making enemies with potential allies! Isn't the abuse we receive from Republicans sufficient enough? :shrug:

Too many in this party seem addicted to pure viciousness, why can't more of that passion be directed against those in power?

10. that'll teach you to be liberal in a liberal forum...you damn liberal.

14. It's rather insane there at the moment
I'm going to have to avoid it for the rest of the night, the ignorance is really beginning to piss me off.

12. I was just over in GD myself...
It IS pretty cold over there, but, everyone is pretty energized with New Orleans in such a disaster and the freaking president not sending any help or showing he cares about it at all.

15. I'm cool with them being pissed at *
it's the "eating your young" mentality that's freaking me out.

16. That place is such a circular firing squad at times
I just don't get it. Once a day is more than enough for me.

17. Yeah, it is...
I go in there once in a while and I post in GD sometimes too...I guess I've just been lucky not to have been at the business end of one of those firing squads!

21. Yes.
In fact, I think I'm taking an extended hiatus. I just don't need the screaming and accusations.

20. Hello from an "apologist", and someone
who has no right to an opinion or to even care, because I am only "watching" it...and not experiencing it. Love how compartmentalized we are getting from each other.

22. That's driving me nuts too
we don't have to be experiencing something to care about it. In fact, if we have to experience something before we can be bothered to give a shit, we're doomed.

23. well, I'm a bleeding heart but not an apologist for criminality nor do I
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 10:23 PM by cryingshame
deny that sometimes people CHOOSE to act very badly.

Lots of kneejerk reactions trying to rationalize reptilian behavior.

26. I've got about 15 threads on ignore/hide.
So far, I've missed most of the flame wars.

So sorry you're encountering the ugly side tonight.

I think a good response to being called a bleeding-heart liberal is "and why aren't you?"

27. Good response.
It's not all ugly side, and under normal circumstances I wouldn't be phased by it. I guess my tolerance is really low tonight.
