AMEN bobbieinok Jul 2017 #1

Pitt did act. sheshe2 Jul 2017 #8

Why are we posting the work of a DUer who has been FFR, essentially banned? George II Jul 2017 #2

If DU has banned one of the most articulate, informed, skillful political observers who is strictly vkkv Jul 2017 #3

He admitted to not voting for the Democrat ie Hillary in THE GE! sheshe2 Jul 2017 #4

Well sheshe2 Jul 2017 #6

He was banned. If you have a problem with that take it up with the admins. brer cat Jul 2017 #11

Very original post! vkkv Jul 2017 #19

The pile of garbage HELPED ELECT TRUMP!!!!! Foamfollower Jul 2017 #16

No, he did not. vkkv Jul 2017 #20

Ye, he most CERTAINLY did. Foamfollower Jul 2017 #21

We already know that, so why do you bring it up? A weak "cryptic" message I suppose. vkkv Jul 2017 #22

Well here we have a long essay on how bad trump is, and its coming from a person... George II Jul 2017 #18

"one of the most informed, political observers" BULLSHIT. Anyone who calls President Obama a POS, still_one Jul 2017 #26

In your opinion... right? vkkv Jul 2017 #27

That he called President Obama a "POS",that was a fact. Not voting for Hillary in the GE is a fact. still_one Jul 2017 #30

Again, that doesn't prove that he is not an "informed, political observer" vkkv Jul 2017 #32

His vote against Hillary, though, does prove that he is not an informed political observer. Squinch Jul 2017 #34

The sad reality is that HRC LOST to Trump! vkkv Jul 2017 #39

Your response has nothing to do with the fact that Pitt didn't vote for the Democratic candidate Squinch Jul 2017 #45

You should take this down. You see from the reactions of DUers that he is not welcome... brush Jul 2017 #54

Nah,Will lives in NH which went to Hillary by a massive margin Arazi Jul 2017 #57

Will Pitt's purple prose telling people not to vote for Hillary, and his vote against Hillary, Squinch Jul 2017 #60

Lol! Will's vote had zip to do with Trump's "win" Arazi Jul 2017 #72

Yes. All those things. Plus the assholes who say they are on the left and who Squinch Jul 2017 #73

Nope, sorry but Will's vote in deep blue NH was not an issue Arazi Jul 2017 #74

How about his purple prose exhortations to others not to vote for her? You think those helped? Squinch Jul 2017 #75

Will could only dream of having Sarandon's reach Arazi Jul 2017 #82

So you actually believe his writings didn't influence others to not vote for Clinton? brush Jul 2017 #81

Nope. Not at all Arazi Jul 2017 #83

Hahahahahahahahaha! With friends like you and pitt, who needs.... brush Jul 2017 #84

So your answer, basically, is that he WOULD have been a force to elect Trump, just Squinch Jul 2017 #85

Nah, not what I said or implied Arazi Jul 2017 #87

oh yeah, it sure does show he is uninformed. On the first point when he called President still_one Jul 2017 #36

The sad reality is that HRC LOST! To Donald Trump! vkkv Jul 2017 #41

I don't think either of us will change our views on Mr. Pitt, so we will leave it at that still_one Jul 2017 #43

How is this guy's work allowed back here when 1SBM's is not? brush Jul 2017 #53

YES! And to 1SBM I'll add Bravenak and seabeyond? Squinch Jul 2017 #55

Yes, Bravenak and Seabeyond also. brush Jul 2017 #56

Wake up? To what, trump tweets every morning? George II Jul 2017 #14

In the article posted, quoting HST, he refers to us all as "used car salesmen" GusBob Jul 2017 #28

The author of this piece IS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTING TRUMP! Foamfollower Jul 2017 #15

Pitt was one of the first to dissect the Iraq war excuse bobbieinok Jul 2017 #23

Exactly. And then Speaker Pelosi said "The impeachment of GW Bush is OFF the table". vkkv Jul 2017 #25

That was back when DU was a liberal site. QC Jul 2017 #33

I remember those days.......fondly! LongTomH Jul 2017 #48

Being "liberal" is not a qualification for posting here, but "Supporting Democrats" is..... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2017 #52

Since you seem so miserable, there are sites out there with a different mission. Perhaps you should Tarheel_Dem Jul 2017 #65

+1 . The discussions were actually about real topics too riderinthestorm Jul 2017 #61

Yup. His Facebook group is yuuuge now so I doubt he misses/needs DU Arazi Jul 2017 #59

Then there's no reason why his acolytes need to foist his crappy shit on DU. Its not wanted here. Squinch Jul 2017 #63

Read it if you want, don't read it if you don't want. Raster Jul 2017 #76

You might want to review what constitutes CENSORSHIP. Because voicing disgust at the inclusion of a Squinch Jul 2017 #78

You are entitled to your opinion, as are other members of this message board. Raster Jul 2017 #79

Well, no. It really isn't my opinion. It's a fact. Squinch Jul 2017 #80

And the o.p. calls DU an "echo chamber". Wow. Nothing like a FB page to escape an "echo chamber". Tarheel_Dem Jul 2017 #66

Political commentary equivalent of a bodice ripper. ismnotwasm Jul 2017 #29

This cracked me up. It's so true! Squinch Jul 2017 #49

This whole thread is just full of support for people who voted against the Democratic candidate. Squinch Jul 2017 #35

Full of something... Ellipsis Jul 2017 #37

Yep. Squinch Jul 2017 #46

Locking, because your view is completely false, would be shameful of DU admins. vkkv Jul 2017 #44

And Will Pitt STILL voted against the Democratic candidate. And none of this gish Squinch Jul 2017 #47
