Apparently they feel the need to censor their message boards. Pretty amazing, considering all of the whining and howling about the "stifling of dissent" we have been hearing from the left recently.
Go read the entire diatribe over at Cold Fury. And then marvel at the continued implosion of the Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, over at Misha's place, the Emporers Augustus and Caligula also weigh in on the censorship issue (having finished their earlier discourse on the soul of the left), with input from a few of their newfound friends!
UPDATE:
Go meet Robin Goodfellow, who apparently has the distinction of being one of the first banned from the Democratic Underground message boards. Then read some of Robin's heretical posts.
This entire mindset of the left is amazing: If you don't agree with what they believe, no matter how anti-American the rhetoric might be, then you are a censoring stifler of dissent. But if they don't agree with what you believe, they have no problem silencing you completely. What hypocrits.

Posted by: DUmmie on September 27, 2003 09:45 AMThinking that the Democrats are imploding is only wishful thinking on the part of the right. What every American should be concerned about is that the land of the free has turned into a fascist dictatorship complete with a glorious leader who is above criticism from the fawning media.
As for those who were banned at DU. If they were naive enough to believe that they could fly under the radar without being detected, then they are fools indeed.
Posted by: smarterthanmost on September 27, 2003 11:21 AMI think your missing the point. DU is banning absolutely anybody who says anything even remotely resembling a contrary point of view.
I saw a thread ranting about the partial birth abortion ban, so I asked the poster "If you already have the whole body out accept for the top 3 inches of the skull... why not just pull it out and put it up for adoption?" I got banned.
Smarterthanmost, reread the last line in your post and think again about what you said.
