Poll question: Is it appropriate to call Democratic candidates assholes at DU?
I just want to know because it happened twice in 1 thread.

1. If they don't want to be called that, they should shape up and quit betraying us.

3. Called out and called assholes are different things.
We should call out whomever needs to be called out. But this is Democratic Underground. We should not be using degrading language towards our candidates.

11. One must honor the pollster's creativity here...Anyone who doesn't vote "I'm an asshole"
is probably an asshole if you ask me.

15. None of the candidates
are. Only the generally puzzling party stance that rises below rational political art has the definitional characteristics and bestows its dingy taint- on specific issues at specific times. 100,000 anonymous posters should not be the first to cast insulting character attacks on vetted public servants.

Now with the GOP, can someone tell me who does NOT fit the general definition- with possible strange exception of Ron Paul?

With Dems, logically inappropriate. With the GOP, goes without saying.

19. Of course they can.
Now my question...

Is it a good idea to post at DU during primary season with thin skin?
