Politics board closed

The fact that politics board is closed is another example of the Obama administration wanting to control all possible dissenters and naysayers.

 

I'm waiting for someone to blame Favre.

 

I think politics board has outlived its usefulness. Much like Congress many just took a party line position on whatever topic came up rather than showing some intellectual honesty.

 

Politics are about picking a side and defending it to the death, none of his wishy-washy crap allowed

 

This is Minnesota v Wisconsin.

It is to the death

 

Or, the fascist racist wingnuts engaging in cyber-astroturfing, turning every single political discussion forum into a pack of monkeys flinging shit at each other (see the town-hall meeting strategy).

It's happened at a couple other political boards I frequent, too, and it's way too consistent to be sheer coincidence.

And no, nobody can say ONE WORD about Limbaugh, Beck, Olbermann, Coulter, Maher, O'Reilly, Michael Moore or anything else. Everything they do or say is political.

The only mention of Obama which should be permitted should be if he dies or resigns. Everything else is "politics."

I can just see Cheney now:

"Go forth, my darklings, and mess up their political boards. Hahahahahaha!!!!

 

I thought for sure this would have happened by page 2.

 

No offense to anyone, but I wonder how much calmer things would have been if you simply banned people that aren't journalists.

Of course, I have no idea how you'd verify that. Paycheck stub? Bar tab?

 

The bottom line is that people were and are unable to control their emotions and act like adults when it comes to political discussions. So the end game is that the politics forum was shut down. It's not like there weren't any warnings given that this might happen. So deal with it.. move on.. and the situation might be re-evaluated in the future. There's nothing further to discuss here.
