Freed from DUs TOS JackAssRadicals tell us what's they really think of Obama

[stevenleser]

https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/the-stupefying-mediocrity-of-barack-obama/

Here is a hint for those who don’t want to click on the link, the title is “The Stupifying Mediocrity of Barack Obama”.

This is what we were arguing with when they were here. If you defend them, this is what you are defending. If you identify with them, well, you can figure out the rest.

[yardwork]

1. DU Rec

[Cha]

2. Yeah, we had to put up with

their stupid propaganda crap for years.

So grateful they're over there in that hell hole and not here.

[brer cat]

17. They didn't all go away

and some that left came back under new names. It wouldn't be so bad it they had left and stayed there.

[stevenleser]

18. Yep, they aren't hard to spot either. nt

[Cha]

21. Right.. I should say.. the

biggest, nastiest bulk of them are over there spewing their brainwashed propaganda.

[SidDithers]

31. +1...

especially that "back under new names" part.

Though, they're not as clever as they think they are.

Sid

[Blue_true]

36. Exactly. They slip back in here to cause shit. The weaselly assholes. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

98. They make an appearance now and then

Recently one blamed Trump on third way Democrats. I asked him to name any such people who currently hold office and he responded with a personal attack. Usually what one does when the can't defend their position.

[Me.]

30. I Could Care Less What Those Yardbirds Think

a bunch of miscreants if there ever was

[Cha]

37. Aloha, Me..

Yeah, they have nothing to offer on a reality based board.

They had their time spewing propaganda here.. it's over.

[Me.]

43. They Have Nothing To Offer Anyone

but the trumpets

[mcar]

3. I well remember what we dealt with here

The mocking and denigration of those DUers who had the temerity to support our President.

Good riddance to them.

[applegrove]

4. I hope trolls don't carve out DUers and then lead them away like lemmings in the next election

season. Obama has rocked the world. You can see it around the whole planet.

[MineralMan]

5. Yup. Talking to themselves.

[elleng]

6. and you spend time there.

smart

[stevenleser]

9. Sure, ignore what has happened in the past. That's a great life strategy

Or you can try to learn from it.

[Cary]

105. You do it so we don't have to.

Thank you for your service.

[Cha]

22. Yeah, reconnaissance.. check out the lastest in

brainwashed propaganda.

Glad he does.. it's always nice to be reminded once in awhile of the bullshit we don't have to put up with anymore.

[Gothmog]

108. JPR is a great place to see what putin is pushing

[emulatorloo]

114. Those folks breathlessly hung on to Joe DiGenova's every word and attacked those of us didn't.

There was no right wing source too egregious for them to use to tear down Democrats.

You may want to sweep all that under the rug and make believe it didn’t happen, but it did.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. If any of those clowns were half the person Barack Obama is they might actually like themselves.

[stevenleser]

11. Yep. A bunch of talentless miserable lowlifes evaluating a great man.

It’s like Ted Bundy insulting Gandhi

[R B Garr]

53. Seriously! Great analogy.

They must be miserable that Democrats keep winning big. Thanks for the reminder they are always ready with undermining, useless lies.

[Pepsidog]

60. Great analogy. Love it

[grantcart]

61. OK I will play "Its like the Three Stooges insulting Stephen Hawking"

[LuvLoogie]

64. I think the Three Stooges were brilliant and would have never insulted Stephen Hawking.

Can I offer, "It's like Sean Hannity insulting Stephen Hawking."

[stevenleser]

82. It's like the keystone kops insulting Einstein. nt

[treestar]

65. +1

[Cary]

107. Self loathers.

[johnp3907]

8. I recognize a couple of those names--

—from my ignore list.

[Squinch]

15. I'm more upset because they WEREN'T on my ignore list. I liked some of them.

And it turns out they are so stupefyingly stupid.

It's very sad.

[stevenleser]

20. Yep. I think a lot of us are in the same boat. I'm shocked by how vituperative and stupid

these folks are but it explains a lot really.

[Hekate]

10. Quite a few familiar names over there, some still posting here afaik. Yikes.

Can't we just call it The Place That Shall Not Be Named, and have done with it?

[stevenleser]

12. Well for two reasons, we can't. One is the one you mentioned

Some of those folks with those beliefs are here and bringing that poison here.

The second is that these folks are a real part of DU history. And as I said to EllenG above, it’s important to learn from things that have transpired. If we don’t we risk allowing the same things to happen again.

[JHB]

25. Nope. 'Cause it's not the first.

I think the earlier Place That Shall Not Be Named imploded in a spectacular fireball of purity and righteousness.

[stevenleser]

28. Yep. OET. It's going to be the same with JPR. They're like Death Stars except

The storm troopers blow up their own Death Star.

[Mosby]

45. It happened first with PI, they later merged with others and became OET

Pi went full on marxist, there was some sort of purge, led by tiniore I think. Some of the JPR members were part of PI, like violet and azurnior.

[LeftInTX]

59. I don't recognize those acronyms...what are PI and OET?

[TexasTowelie]

78. OET is for Old Elm Tree.

I don't know about Pi except that is either 3.14159... and that they are tasty.

[muriel_volestrangler]

80. PI was "Progressive Independent"

which was linked with "Socialist Independent" and "Populist Independent", and they eventually became "The Bell (Forum)". (... checking ...) Yes, that's still there, hanging on, just, with about 3 people posting in the last 3 months or so. I suspect they're now at JPR (I can't be bothered to see if they're using their old names), or trolling people on Facebook. They were the more straightforwardly Marxist people - they had a line-by-line reading of Capital, in which they had to understand how the price of a coat was fundamental to all economics before they could proceed.

[LeftInTX]

91. Thanks...very helpful

I found the Bell Forum and it explains alot!

Although DU was founded in response to Al Gore, many of those types probably did not vote for Al Gore or would never vote for a Democrat.

[airmid]

81. I didn't either. I do know what JPR is now thanks to the link above.

[dawg day]

77. Too much hate--

It implodes.

I don't think Obama is perfect, but I do think he's a very, very good man, and we as a nation were lucky to have him.

And I felt better about us that we elected him (by majorities!) twice.

Then, well, you know.

[oasis]

13. They'd best limit the spread of ignorance to the confines of their website

because I'm clean out of patience with STUPIDITY.

[stevenleser]

16. I think some are here. There are a few folks who clearly agree with them and arent

coming straight out with it because they know they would be PPR’d. But you can tell when they post that this is where they are coming from.

[reACTIONary]

14. "As a Marxist....."

I stopped reading right there.

[stevenleser]

19. What is ironic is how the right tried to portray Obama as a Socialist or

Communist/Marxist when he isn’t close.

But I don’t blame you for not reading. I want to keep raising awareness of just who these people are, because that website is unsustainable and will fail, and you know to where those folks are going to try to come back.

[radical noodle]

23. I think they already are n/t

[reACTIONary]

32. I'm with you....

I'm suprised it lasted as long as it has, but if they keep to themselves, so much the better. Think of it as containment .

[SunSeeker]

50. Unfortunately, they're not keeping to themselves. nt

[sweetloukillbot]

66. Ha!

My first thoughts as well. No better way to convince me that you aren't worth listening to than those three words.

[betsuni]

67. Me too.

You just know some pseudo-intellectual bullshit is next so why waste time.

[reACTIONary]

83. Psudo intellectual bullshit....

..... left over from the 19th century.

[a kennedy]

24. I am so disappointed in this site......what the hell happened to them?

[stevenleser]

27. Groupthink, stupidity, bitterness, weak grip on reality

nationalistic thinking as defined by Orwell, and that’s just for starters.

[mcar]

96. Some were never really Democrats

but we're happy to stay here while they could run down President Obama, HRC, and other Democratic leaders.

[sheshe2]

104. Don't forget what the JPRers did to the AA Group here.

[mcar]

106. Ran so many good DUers off

I still miss them but I'm happy to see some on Twitter.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

112. There were several times I was asked to do DU jury duty on AA posts

I guess they figured if they complained enough some posts would be pulled and the posters would get a time out.

I never saw anything wrong with the posts that were alerted on.

[sheshe2]

113. They wanted them to go away.

They got their wish, they are. Yet so many of them are as well.

[George II]

44. You meant "that" site, not this site (i.e., DU), correct? Thanks.

[a kennedy]

56. Yah, yah, that site......sorry

[George II]

57. Just don't want you to get in trouble with people around here. It's all good!

[still_one]

26. As far as I am concerned a good number of the Jack asses radicals are f**king racists assholes, so

this is no surprise.

[sheshe2]

39. True...

Remember the Fried Chicken and Watermelon post? Oh and the multiple Stockholm Syndrome threads? Both K&Red to the top of the page. Oh and the POSUCS threads! Not sure if they are a member there, not that it would surprise me yet his fan club is all there.

[still_one]

41. You are so right sheshe

[mcar]

97. Stockholm Syndrome

[sheshe2]

101. Those threads were vile.

[mcar]

103. I'll never forget them

So much racism.

[LonePirate]

29. Nothing surprising about a bunch of Russian trolls sounding off against Obama.

[Blue_true]

33. They called you out by name Steve. Called you a rightwing propagandist.

Do you still have the wax for your Stalin mustache?

[stevenleser]

87. Yep, as I said below, I'm happy that people who enabled Trump out of bitterness and stupidity don't

like me. I'll state quite plainly that I am not compatible with people who behave like that at all.

[Blue_true]

88. I am not compatible with themeither. As a matter of fact, I loath them while feeling sorry for them

They are clueless. Generally I am the type of person who know what I am, so what other people think of me is irrelevant to me, I don't know you, but from reading your posts, you seem to be similar. Sorry, I don't watch Fox News, so I won't watch your appearances there.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

99. Proof that they still lurk here

[Blue_true]

34. The people there are pricks that are full of themselves.

History has shown that type to be nothing more than irrelevant dicks.

[progressoid]

35. So there's, what, a few dozen people over there?

Seems like a pretty insignificant group to obsess about.

[Blue_true]

40. Some slip back in here under new names. There are some sympathizers here that won't

own up to it. Some people here will get deluded by their message and go to war against real democrats.

[aikoaiko]

38. I'm confident that we could easily respond to that post if it were posted here.

YMMV

[Blue_true]

42. They would not post it here. But they will post sneak attack posts that are designed to divide.

They figure out which DU members are amendable to their bullshit, then work on culling them off.

[SunSeeker]

47. Yep. nt

[jcgoldie]

52. At the moment the target seems to be Joy Ann Reid.

Which is stupid.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

70. They have a secret base of operations in the Pomona alfalfa fields.

[SunSeeker]

46. Won't click on the link. I get enough sickening idiocy from Trump.

[ismnotwasm]

48. Fools.

I just wish they’d stay there.

[Docreed2003]

49. Ugh...that shit is disgusting

One person called President Obama the worst in his lifetime....gmafb

[StevieM]

51. Aren't these the people who said that HRC was best understood as a Joe Manchin Democrat? (eom)

[catbyte]

54. Nauseating. I went on that site; didn't last 5 minutes.

[JohnnyRingo]

55. That site has been flooded by republicans and Russian trolls.

and it makes sense: The only original requirement for membership there was a deep hatred of HRC and her family. Naturally, many members pushed for Trump as well as Bernie against anyone else seen as friendly to the Clintons.

I don't doubt that the founders and Manny, who is far as I know is in charge, understand they have a problem finding people who meet the standards but still identify as Democrats. They're being used as a republican propaganda machine. Maybe Manny himself is a Russian troll. He sure stirred the pot here on DU.

Manny is the only person here that earned me a jury hide for a reply in a dozen years.

[DrunkInTheAfternoon]

58. Is that where Cali went?

If so, I still can't bring myself to knock her. She was (is) awesome...

[Cha]

74. I read cali couldn't stand it there.

[JI7]

75. yes, she went there but she ended up leaving

[tammywammy]

100. She was banned from JPR. n/t

[PatrickforO]

62. These people are becoming radical right, I think.

The words stupifying mediocrity cannot be uttered in the same breath as Barack Obama by anyone with any integrity.

Yes, Obama was farther toward the center than I am, but he was a good, solid, moral man who won the presidency in a time of horrible economic upheaval.

I think we can all be proud of Obama for the way he conducted his presidency. I'm confident he will go down as a well-above-average, even great, president. By the way...how about readmitting me to the Obama room?

Just asking...

Besides, I can certainly think of someone else (hint, the current occupant of the WH) to which we can readily apply the words 'stupifying mediocrity.' He and his whole racist, misbegotten, ignorant administration...I've never seen corruption like this.

[wryter2000]

90. Trump would have to improve bigly

To earn the adjective “mediocre.”

[betsuni]

63. Obvious projection: "stupefying mediocrity"

Jackassers are still really really mad at mommy (Hillary) and daddy (Obama). Now that they've seen your OP, they're all worked up over you again, Steven. Sure is fun to poke the beehive and watch the angry little psuedo-radicals buzzing around in circles.

[greatauntoftriplets]

68. Wonder if they have cheese with their whine.

One person on that thread has been banned from DU more times than I can count, yet complains about how horrid we are.

[GulfCoast66]

69. They are here now. Many of them.

Even a relative newbie like me have called them out for discussing things on DU that occurred before their new persona joined.

And all the BS post we are seeing now?

[Iggo]

71. If you spell it wrong, my Trash Word function doesn't work.

[Baclava]

72. T-shirts! Get yur T-shirts here!

[RhodeIslandOne]

73. Sad, really

I’m just expecting one of them to drop the n-word already and get the fuck on with it. Fuck every single one of them.

[sheshe2]

110. I read the C word is applauded over there.

An admin said it was totally expectable when applied to Hillary, yet never to use it against a member there or you would be banned. This from a woman. Sick fugger.

[betsuni]

115. Yesterday there was a link here to JPR, I read the thread and there was the c-word!

Calling a DUer the c-word. Yet they think we are the nasty ones. Idiots.

[sheshe2]

116. Sick site.

I guess Hill and Duers can be called a C on JPR but among there own it is not allowed. Sick people there. Most are repukes/Russians and disillusioned Bros that thought they were going to get their unicorn.

[dawg day]

76. Obama, mediocre?

Seriously, anyone can disagree with his policies, think he could have done better....

But really. Even non-fans have to look at him and say, wow. If they're honest, that is.

If they're not, well, envy comes to mind. It is sort of chastening to realize what obstacles he overcame to become the thoughtful, insightful, good basketball player that he is.

(Good taste in music and wives also.

[NCTraveler]

79. Some of them are passionate about bein bigots.

They can’t hide how sexist they are. True Bro’s. No one can read that and not understand the Bro label.

They seem to love you.

[stevenleser]

86. Correct on all counts. I consider it important that the right people don't like/hate me.

These folks enabled Trump out of stupidity and bitterness.

I'm very happy if people like that don't like me. We're not compatible. At all.

[ismnotwasm]

92. You easily owned them all over the place. There was no topic you couldn't school them in.

I think that’s why they are obsessed by you. I didn’t click on the link, I’ve looked around that place enough. It’s actually fairly dull.

I’m glad they found a home with their HA Goodman loving asses.

[Squinch]

84. I think its cute, though, the way they get all excited

when we notice them.

[betsuni]

85. I agree. Like little kids, they love attention.

Cute!

[wryter2000]

89. And, unfortunately, much of it was allowed to stand

I was a mod for many of the Obama years. This sort of drivel was considered “criticism from the left.” It drove me bonkers.

Thank heaven that’s changed now.

[MicaelS]

93. I signed up over there when it looked like DU ...

Was going to be down for a long time, or never coming back. Made a few posts, when DU finally came back up for good, that was it for JPR. Never been back, and good riddance.

[Gothmog]

94. JPR posters are mainly jerks and idiots

[Jazzgirl]

95. This is why I haven't been posting much here.

I've seriously thought about deleting my support for this site. I am so disgusted with the infiltration and have been for some years. I can't believe its lasted this long. Oh well....I'm sure this post will get reported too. If it is and deleted, I will definitely pull my site support.

[saidsimplesimon]

102. I missed it.

Has Thom Hartman been banned?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

109. Such angry people

Sounds like they'll never be happy.

[stevenleser]

117. Angry and bitter, you hit the nail on the head. They are defined by

their anger and bitterness. And their anger and bitterness stems from not being able to accept a loss in a race where their candidate got 4 million fewer votes. Despite that they think the nomination was stolen from them.

[Different Drummer]
