This vile post is still up on DU.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5780369&mesg_id=5780708

From a worthless white nigger? Or just a good, old-fashioned nigger-nigger?


Do you have to be a Hillary supporter for a post like that to be deleted?

2. Why, we certainly are sanctimonious today. I assume you have now recanted
your smear on the Obama campaign.

Sigh. For the last time, GDP is a cesspool. Always has been. It is SET UP to reward the crappiest posts.

3. Not defending the word, but that was satire based on the Kantor
debacle.

I don't think the poster is necessarily vile or believes in that terminology. (S)He was merely making a (very poor) riff off the Kantor quote.

5. It's not satire. He/she was very serious.

If he/she was a Hillary supporter, the post would have been deleted and the member would have been TSed already.

7. People (myself included) have alerted on it.
Unfortunately, we can't hurry the mods up (though I wish we could).

11. I agree it should be deleted even though it is satire
Were I a mod (and I am not), I would conclude that the tastelessness and inflammatory nature of the post outweighs any expression of satire contained in it and would delete it.

But what I am wondering about is your OP and what you are trying to imply by it. Are you suggesting that somehow DU is allowing the post to stand out of favoritism? If so, I think you are way off base and during this entire primary season the mods & admins have bent over backwards to remain neutral. Chalk it up to the fact that this place has been a madhouse for months and mods are probably going nuts trying to run down every alert sent to them and that's all.
