Just giving you new space...and I like the comment above.
Actually, I went over to DST to find some smack worthy stuff, and I couldn't find anything. Pretty boring over there unless you are into arguing over health care reform.
So I don't want to kill the conversation started in the last thread...Why has DST lost its luster? Have people moved on to a new craft, have people moved to store forums, are people actually scrapping for themselves or have they all turned into designers?

That whole forum is a train wreck. When you have to argue that you are not a racist you're a racist. Tammy1999 sure showed her true colors in that thread.

^^^^^
ITA. Tammy1999 has shown over and over again what a bigoted hag she really is, along with txmusicmom, and quite a few other regulars in that forum. That place is just a hot mess that's chock full or ignorance and crazy.
^^^^
oops, "or" should be OF
I'll be buying more of Amanda Rockwell's stuff just because she called Tammy's comment disgusting. High five Amanda. Txmusicmom, Lara Payton, and many more are completely off their rockers. please
Actually I'm quite surprised at Amanda's words. I understand that she may have had some past bad experiences based on her reply, which may have hurt her, but how is she less ignorant by talking to Tammy the way she did? Sometimes I think it's just better to think things through and reply when your not so upset. I dont know, I guess it just really caught me off gaurd because she has always come across as very sweet. Not that I don't think her point wasn't valid, just that that's not what stood out to me first.

I freaking HATE threads that end up like this. Why would you want to buy something that you got for free as a CT member? Can't you come up with anything else?!?
Them crazy bigots over in the HT forum think for themselves because they can't stop watching Glenn Beck (certifiable), Hannity (barf) and listening to Rush (RACIST PIG). Better yet, they need to all get off the airwaves or move to satelite radio. It's one thing to listen to these guys for entertainment (like Howard Stern) but they are dangerous if you actually believe what they are saying. I stick to the local papers and local news stations where I am and ocasionally watch CNN. I have a much more sane way of thinking. I am a moderate conservative and I'm here saying this because I could never post what I just did inside DST. (As much as I wanted to.)
Rats..that first sentence should read "can't think for themselves." LOL ...more coffee...
Lara Payton needs to spend less time in hot topics and more time designing...or better yet learning how to designs..her kits suck and is she !@#@$%! color blind?
I won't buy anything from Lara Payton anymore after seeing the way she acts in HT.
I think it's funny, the more obnoxious and offensive txmusicmom is the more smilies she uses. I guess in HT you get a pass on being a bigot if you act like a victim...Wah...someone's calling me a racist....(hello, because you are!)
I think it's funny, the more obnoxious and offensive txmusicmom is the more smilies she uses.

Yep, and the bitchier Deb Cozzi gets, the more she calls people "sweetie"
That forum has been a real eye opener, for sure. It's sad to see how many crazies and hateful people there really are out there.
I guess HT shows that ignorance, bigotry and racism is alive and well in 2009. The funny thing is that they all say "I just don't like Obama's policies not that he's black." Riiiiiight. Whatever makes your bigoted self sleep at night.

tammy 1999 is a racist..I will be boycotting the designers she CT's for...until they fire her

I just had to go turn on my siggies to find out who tammy1999 CTs for and I figured I'd save someone else the trouble. I'll be boycotting Cara Mia Designz and Julie Marie Designs by Julie Klaus until they get rid of her.
Wow, this is fascinating to me. All the comments thus far seem to be liberally inclined. So are there any right-wing conservative types over here? Or are ya'll just holding back?
Just curious, is all.

In my case, I'm not liberal, but I'm not a lunatic either. Those women are lunatics and I don't really appreciate that the voice of conservatism is becoming so harsh and narrow-minded.

That. I don't really believe that those women represent most conservatives, moderates or independents...they represent the tin foil hat wearing population
Thanks! As the OP, this is what I'm trying to figure out. I'm an independent (socially liberally, fiscally conservative) who used to be a Republican and like to think I try to view things from both sides before coming to a decision. I have to believe there are people out there who believe as I do (who like me were tired of being insulted as a 'RINO'), but had to leave the Republican party as I just couldn't stomach supporting it anymore.
Sounds like there ARE others out there who are universally critical and more pragmatic and that gives me hope!

I so agree 11:00 AM. Her stuff is over priced anyways. Maybe that's why she is really closing down her store. She said it's because of home schooling. I want to believe it's to spend more time googling all that conservative bull she is paddling over at DST.

You cannot carry a conversation with ignorance. Funny thing is those that are more liberal are leaving that board because the uber-conservatives only want to hear their own selves talk.
When you have those uber-conservative, Glenn Beck lovers quoting someone saying that Obama is a Nazi you've hit the threshold of ignorance.

It isn't and there's the irony.
The great thing about the US is I can choose to not buy those designers things if Tammy is on their CT. Same as when I stopped going to to Texaco after their racist statements years ago. The great thing is that people can choose to buy from those designers too.
If you were a cashier and made racist comments to customers, those customers have every right to refuse to shop at that store. I look at CTs as a job, they are representing their designers, and DST is one of the places where they are representing them. So really, she's making racist comments to potential customers, and we have every right to refuse to shop there. If you don't think it's enlightened, try making racist comments at work tomorrow and then complain about how unenlightened your boss is when he calls you out on it. Freedom of speech means you can't be prosecuted for what you say, that doesn't mean there won't be other consequences.

That. I gave up, too. It's a crazy-fest over there, and it's just pointless to engage with them. And the problem is, that if you try and post over there, you're forced into engaging with them. They are hell-bent on shrieking the loudest and shouting down anyone who doesn't think exactly like they do.
And I'm not a democrat/liberal or a republican/conservative. I don't think there's a party out there I could identify with.
But are any of you going to point out to those designers about their CT member? If you feel strongly enough not to shop with that designer because of her CTM, then you should at least have the courtesy of letting that designer know. Give her a chance of correcting the mistake.
Why? I thought all designer read this blog daily anyway. :P
I think I am a PollyAnna, but I don't want to know how designers think on political and hot button issues. I want them to design sweet and original kits. lol
I really and truly don't want to know how my fellow scrappers feel about our president, the economy or anything.

I want to know where these people CT or sell because it would influence my spending. I will say there are some people that can see the other side like kjbstevens and Miki Ferkul, but I haven't seen Miki's name popping up there as much.
How can you tell kjbstevens can see the other side? I can't read her posts, her huge, rambling sentences and long ass paragraphs give me a headache. She seems fine I guess, I just can't read her writing at all.
I DO want to know...It helps me to decide where to NOT spend my money!
wow? really?
please expound on this...seems it would be wearing on a person.
do you do this in all your purchases or just scrapping??
please, I am not being rude, this comment totally threw me?
I usually go to the store and find something I like at a good price, and buy it.
I remember in the late 70's Nestle(as in chocolate) did some pretty low things in 3rd world countries with formula etc and I boycotted them for years...
so please know I am not bashing you, just in scrapping? I so would like to hear more to the whys and how you shop.
Not the OP but I have boycotted some digi stores due to personal reasons but they are more along the lines of actual run ins with the store owner.
IRL, I've boycotted the Red Cross for years (I can't get past the AIDS tainted blood fiasco) and Green Peace because of their early warrior tendencies. Luckily for me there are other world aid and environmental organizations out there that I can support.

What our POTUS does certain CAN effect the world economy. Had AIG failed, as much as I loathed the whole bailout thing, it would have effected everyone, not just us here in the US.
I won't purchase designs from those ladies or the designers they CT for, either. Anyone who can find fault in a non-controvercial educational speech is nutty as a fruit loop. Why they ever choose to say things like that in a forum where they represent their businesses and their designers' businesses is beyond me.
The great thing about the US is I can choose to not buy those designers things if Tammy is on their CT. Same as when I stopped going to to Texaco after their racist statements years ago. The great thing is that people can choose to buy from those designers too.

What makes you think only being in the US gives you choices? Anyone in the world can choose to stop buying from any designer.

Not the OP but I have a few designers that I refuse to buy from because of stuff they've said in the forums. One in particular has some stuff I really like but I don't want it on my pages. I would think of what she wrote every time I looked at it.
I won't watch movies with actors who disgust me either, like Tom Cruise. He makes me ill! I don't want him or his wacky religion getting one red cent of my money.
This was in response to the NAACP comment. Do you have the NAACP in your country? If you read the HT forum you will see that it's all about free speech and free will which is a US 1st amendment right, well that's what they tout there ie free speech. You can feel free to go to the HT forum and argue about your country. I doubt most will understand or will call you a socialist. Even Canada is big, black ugly spot in that forum.

Same here. They can't seem to find a middle. It's either for or against with no in-between opinions. And I'm very in between. Not liberal or conservative, not right or left, not republican or democrat. I have views in all categories. And, like any other forum in DST, you either agree or disagree with one of the two groups, you don't think for yourself or have your own opinions. I haven't posted there in months and the only time I even in pop in any more is when you all post something here. Hell I don't even go there looking for kits anymore.
I also refuse to contribute to Red Cross after seeing first hand their slow response time after several hurricanes. Salvation Army beat them here by several days in some cases.

You are all so funny, calling out Glenn Beck. Have you ever listened to/watched his shows? He makes some interesting points, points that the rest of the media either ignores or misrepresents. "Nazi" is a very loaded term (one that Beck HASN'T labeled Obama, BTW), but if you study history you'll see a few astonishing similarities between what developed into the National Socialist Party (Nazi) and what's happening in D.C. now. It's really easy to hear "Nazi" and freak out. But please, do yourself a favor and become a student of history. Hitler was a very charismatic leader who filled a vacuum in Germany. It was easy for him to turn Germany against the Jews. He promised to deliver Germans from a bad economy, but little by little, we wound up with the Holocaust. It didn't happen overnight, it took a good twenty years. And that's our biggest responsibility as citizens of a republic: STAY ON TOP of your government. Nothing good ever happens when you let it run on auto-pilot. And no accusations of Obama-hating, please. I almost voted for the guy. But after educating myself on his politics, he falls to far to the left for my taste.

Free speech and free will is one thing but there has to be consequences for what people do/say.
You can say as you please but expect recrimination if you are racist, discriminatory, lie or are just plain rude.
Everyone has a right to an opinion but that does not mean they are free to spout off untruths just because they think they have a right to "free speech". Very little in life really is "free".
It would be helpful if everyone could italicize quotes here to keep it more readable.
Just do < i > before your quote and < /i > after it, but without the spaces.

Glenn Beck (and company) is an imbecile. Anyone who actually believes what comes out of his fat, lying mouth is an imbecile.
I would never say this in HT because I'd be afraid that the loonies would hunt me down, but from what I've seen Glen Beck has more of a cult-ish following than Obama ever did.

She doesn't get it! It's not her opinions that got her in trouble, it was racist comments. I can handle someone having a different opinion than I do, but I can't handle them making ignorant comments about an entire race of people. I wish I had e-mailed her designers, but their stuff isn't my style and I wouldn't have bought from them with our without Tammy.

Ha! I used the wrong italics code. I guess it's not that easy after all. ;)
Most of us intelligent folk here, hanging out as anon posters, realize that voicing your opinions, no matter what they are or what they pertain to, can mean death to your business, especially when voicing them in the same forums where you are trying to promote said business.
Tammy's "warning" to people about what they say on the boards is laughable and shows how ignorant she truly is. She needs to just completely shut up before she alienates even more people. What a frikkin' moron.
That whole bunch is morons. They have no clues in their pea size brains. They really don't get it.
Just love watching them call everyone bullies.
Texas Music Mom is reading over here, she removed her CT blinkies. I went to check her blinkies this morning & she had removed them.
In fact looks like a lot of the real bullies have removed their blinkies.....what girls you don't want to give up the free scrap, but you want to keep opening your mouth & saying stupid things.

Are they removing their CT blinkies because they got kicked out of their CTs?

This is an amazingly insane (although not unexpected from the lunatic fringe of the right) thought process. So, the definition of a Nazi is a 'charismatic leader'? Good to know that I can officially define Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck not only as 'pinheads' and wastes of precious oxygen, but also Nazi's. As much as I dislike them both, they appear to me to be charismatic leaders of their own idiotic movements. Oh, and I guess that also makes President's Reagan (i.e. 'The Great Communicator') and Clinton Nazi's as well. And Steve Jobs. And Sarah Palin. And... I think you get the point. No one is a Nazi, except actual Nazi's. Idiot...

I don't know what you're talking about. Tammy quickly apologized for her comment. See, right here:
"What do you want me to call them?? They aren't African Americans. As far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing. There is no country called African America." - Tammy1999
Oh, wait, that wasn't it. Hold on...
"How do you want me to describe people that aren't of flesh color??????? Lets all be PC now. " - Tammy1999
Dang, that's not either... One minute...
"I'm tired of people giving jobs to people who aren't qualified and are given that job because of their skin color." - Tammy1999
Shoot. I know it's here somewhere...
"If using the word "black" is offensive to anyone, I do so apologize." - Tammy1999
See! There you go! She apologized, so therefore everything is peachy keen. You darn liberals are always trying to call everyone a racist and I just can't for the life of me figure out why...
Thank you for using italics.

you do us all a favor and go stand in the corner for being so damn STUPID

Actually, it's dumb ass people like you. My family went through it too but they don't have a tattoo to prove it. Why? Because it wasn't just about Jews, it was about any people that Hitler didn't like and there were a lot of them.
Besides, the OP didn't say everything Hitler did was smart. He was smart and charismatic in the beginning. That's what makes his actions so reprehensible. He could have been something great and wonderful; instead he chose to be terrible.
You are all so funny, calling out Glenn Beck. Have you ever listened to/watched his shows?
----------
Yeah? You are funny too. I don't recall ALL of us calling out Beck, in fact, I think it was two people. I have no fricking clue who Glenn Beck is.
"I just want to point out that September 14, 2009 4:48 PM wasn't me, but I wish it was :)"
Thanks! And also thanks for being braver than I and posting in the actual forum thread. The amazing part of this to me is that there are many (the usual suspects) defending what Tammy said and her "apology". To me, if you agree with Tammy or don't see what she did was wrong (and continues to be wrong on by not, as you said, totally retracting the statement and its depiction), then you are implicitly condoning it. I don't expect them to say 'you suck, Tammy', but they could probably not be all "oh I'm so sorry. this is so unfair. those tattle-tales" (which, BTW, the usage of 'tattle-tales' implies to me you did something wrong). So no *hugs* or *smilies* from me and if in the future they continue to say "I don't dislike Obama because he's African American" I'll have a very, very difficult time believing it.
I think it's funny that so many people who are posting in that thread think that apologizing for doing something ugly, racist, discriminatory etc is A-okay. Does that mean if all the early Americans apologized for slaughtering the indigenous people of the land, it's okay? Yeah, right.
So....

Your whole story implied and even suggested that you were Jewish. I'm not sure why you are so upset that I thought you were. Are you anti Semitic? Does it offend you? Besides, how can I get my facts straight if you don't supply them?

It offends me that you would even try to bring Hitler in any good light EVER. No one that has even remotely been tied in any way to the Holocaust would ever say Hitler was charismatic. now go some where else this blog is about SCRAP not health care.
Ad Hitler Hated people of color so how can Obama be like him I don't get. its a contradiction in itself.
All of Europe is laughing at the American stupidity right about this minute.

Do you even know what charistmatic means? It doesn't mean he was a nice person. It means he could sway people to his will. Which is exactly what he did. Don't get confused.
now go some where else this blog is about SCRAP not health care.

Who the fuck is talking about health care and who said this blog was just about scrap? Not to mention, who died and put you in charge? It's people like you who try and dictate to everyone else who disagrees with you that makes DST an unwelcoming place. Go there right now, you'll fit right in.

I don't blame them and I'm in the US. It certainly is embarassing. The media outlets here are nothing but circus clowns throwing pies in each other's faces to see who can get the higher ratings.

OMFG...did you ladies forget you're not in HT? This is a scrapping blog not a politics forum. Dish the gossip or go away.
wv: thimbut As in them but-heads need to go back to DST.
***************************************
I DO want to know...It helps me to decide where to NOT spend my money!
wow? really?
please expound on this...seems it would be wearing on a person.
do you do this in all your purchases or just scrapping??
please, I am not being rude, this comment totally threw me?
I usually go to the store and find something I like at a good price, and buy it.
I remember in the late 70's Nestle(as in chocolate) did some pretty low things in 3rd world countries with formula etc and I boycotted them for years...
so please know I am not bashing you, just in scrapping? I so would like to hear more to the whys and how you shop.
----------------------------
Ok I am the OP here…
I work very hard for my money (like most of us) and I don't want to use to support or help advance a cause that I feel is destructive or goes against something I really believe in.
I do this in real life too…I wont be buying any Kanye West albums either…but Beyonce who showed class and a positive example for our upcoming young ladies will certainly get my money. Its not wearing because I don't go out of my way to search and nitpick but if an obvious offense is made I make a choice. In this digital community its easy to spot because some don't understand that designing IS a business. There are designers and consumers. In Tammy’s case I don't feel sorry for her…yes she has every right to feel the way she feels and say the things she says (Freedom is what makes this country so great) BUT she has to remember that she is representing her designer and with that comes a certain responsibility. Her job as a CT member is to increase sales…if her behavior/actions decrease sales…she simply is not performing and she SHOULD be fired. Whoever sent hate mails/threatened the designer was wrong….but honestly….no one should have to point out to the designer what their team members are up to. They should be on top of it. Ruby shows she is a true professional…she would action it immediately because she knows the repercussions (as a matter of fact on my way to check out her store now). The HT is hurting the designers…there are MANY designers that aren’t getting my business (and probably many others) because of their CT (and their own) behavior in that forum. If they don't care…that's fine…but seriously DST is about promoting scrap booking and the HT does none of that. Bottom line…CT Members if you want to speak you mind, speak it, but if you are representing someone then resign because you are hurting their business. DESIGNERS…know what your CT members are up to because they can be hurting your business. CONSUMERS…spend your money wisely.
OMFG...did you ladies forget you're not in HT

..........................................................
Just giving you new space...and I like the comment above.
Actually, I went over to DST to find some smack worthy stuff, and I couldn't find anything. Pretty boring over there unless you are into arguing over health care reform.
So I don't want to kill the conversation started in the last thread...Why has DST lost its luster? Have people moved on to a new craft, have people moved to store forums, are people actually scrapping for themselves or have they all turned into designers?
...............................
That's from the blog owner.
I think talking about the ladies from HT is relevant here. Part of the work of a CT is to show off your designers stuff whether it's posting layouts or for some, to CT enable via ISO threads. Would a designer want them on their CT if they were applying? Maybe, if they share the same way of thinking.
Unfortunately, HT is part of DST. Unreal stuff there.
I find it interesting that quite a few people were 'blaming' Summer for the lack of involvement at DST but as the kids are back at school and Summer is over, involvement hasn't increased at DST, it actually seems to have decreased.
I still think it's the rampant advertising that's putting people off.
As a poster here already pointed out, this thread http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/showthread.php?t=209244
is a perfect example. If the OP wanted CTM enabling, she would have checked out the CTM enabling thread.

Not me! Too much going on here!
I am shocked that the HT bitches are moaning and complaining about the 'thugs' that got Tammy kicked off her CT, but it's fine and dandy for them to gang up on Ruby with their bitchy little remarks. How do they take themselves seriously?
And has anyone else noticed that there's a new troll in the HT forum? Filmore has only 10 posts, and has already jumped right into the debates. Who do you think it is? My vote is Deb Cozzi.
To be fair, there is also a liberal troll with only about 10 posts in there.
^^^^^^^^^
I just saw that! Maybe it's one woman who has nothing better to do than argue with herself. :)
I think it's Lara Payton! Do I get a brownie if I win?
Hey, I somewhat resent being referred to as a troll (at least I presume you're referring to me, I guess maybe not) ;-). And no, I'm definitely not Filmore.
I thought it might be a fun exercise to try and liven up the debate a bit over there and I just couldn't let the one-sided invective continue unchallenged anymore. Thus far almost no one has even bothered to debate or so much as respond. They say something basically copied from Glenn Beck, you point out the fallacy of the argument or try to bring up a counter-argument or maybe just, you know, talk about it, they ignore you. Ah, well, based on all of previous messages here about this behavior guess I shouldn't have expected anything different and I guess I can't complain that I wasn't forewarned.
You can feel free to go to the HT forum and argue about your country. I doubt most will understand or will call you a socialist. Even Canada is big, black ugly spot in that forum.

I'd be referred to as a troll, too. See, if you don't agree with them, that's all you'll ever be. And to agree with them, your post must contain one of their posts, preferrably one of the longer, copy-n-paste news stories from Fox, quoted, followed by an unnecessarily long line of clapping smilies, or the "word" smiley.
I don't think anyone reads my posts in HT. I'm not sure why I post there anymore. Before anyone asks no I am not one of the ultra-conservatives.

Totally agree. If you have a good point that isn't a conservative point, they just ignore you. Heaven forbid they admit they were wrong!
Do the HT people not realize that HT is not some kind of exclusive club where only they get to say what they want?
Direct quote from the Tammy thread "i really do not think it is necessary for you to come in here and in a way slam us for posting in this specific forum. if you do not like it - then dont come here. it is as simple as that. if you do not like it - thats fine too ... but you do not need to make a post like you did. just walk away." So they can slam, make supposed apologies and then pat Tammy on the back, but people cannot criticize her?
I wish more of you that are posting here would post there as well.
It's a "their way or no way" mentality over there. I stopped posting a long time ago, before the elections becuase some of the nasty things that were being said. When I tried to call out the biggoted comment (something along the lines of everyone who was pro-Obama was utterly stupid) I was basically blackballed out of there, just like anyone against what Tammy said in her thread. How dare I go in there and speak my mind! Apparenly, they're the only ones allowed to do so.
Well, it bit Tammy (rightfully so) in the ass. It's too bad none of them care. Someone else pointed here earlier (much nicer words, though) you don't shit where you eat.
Tammy is as dumb as a box of rocks! She is a racist, but can't even understand why her comments are racist! She thinks it's because she used the word 'black' - DUH!
What about the fact that she mad e a generalized claim that 'black people play the race card when they don't get their way".
Then she said they aren't African Americans "because there's no country called 'African America'
Then she refers to the color of their skin as 'not flesh color' (what color is flesh color?)
She also complains about people getting jobs they don't deserve etc.
The only thing she apologized for was using the word 'black' - which is not the issue at all. It's the ideas behind her words that convey DEEP-SEATED racism and bias that she's not even aware of.
It wasn't even that she used the word 'black'. It was that she called a whole race of people 'blacks'. I might be wrong, but I don't think people have a problem with using the term 'black people' when black is used to describe one trait that the people share. Her problem was that she just called them 'blacks', which pretty much means that their entire identity is the color of their skin. It takes away their humanity and leaves only their skin color.
I wish more of you that are posting here would post there as well.
I so hope that works~I struggle with adding blinkies in my sigs!
I can't post there, and I am probably one of the most right wing, pearl clutching(term used here before that makes me laugh) and conservative of them all!
But I like to believe I have a heart and care about others feelings even when I don't agree.
I have in the past posted, but am not of the "group", my comments were overlooked for the same thing to be said by one of the accepted.
No problem, when I have posted on HOT issues, I would take off my siggies, because I knew it was a bad representation of the designers I create for.
I do not like the HT forum, how they are treating miss potts, and anyone else who disagrees.
I keep reading this statement; If you knew me you would know that is not how I am..well I don't know you or anyone else here. In a debate, you have to write like no one knows you, so the issues are debated not the emotions.
so I post here anon...because I do represent designers and a store.
Well Dirty Feet should just shut her trap. Even if she had some great scrap, after a slam like she made to Ms. Potts, I would not buy one little element from her. :(
They sure are self righteous bunch of old bats. (I know some are young, but they sure act like old ladies with nothing better to do than to complain.)
I refuse to post in HT anymore. I will not go back in there.
French Ruby is spot on & they hate her. RUBY, I will buy your scrap. Your altered kit looks fabulous.
I am so relieved to read some of the comments here - I've been reading the HT and I've been overwhelmed with feelings of outrage toward those frequent right-wing posters.
For me, my outrage started with the comments about Obama's school children speech. It proved that some people will find fault with Obama no matter what. When they couldn't find anything negative in the ideas of the speech, they used a word analyzer and criticized the number of times he used the word 'I', then claimed he was self-centered. What? This just proved to me that this group of ladies would rather see Obama fail, than the USA succeed.
They continue to defend Joe Wilson and continue to spread the falsehood that Obama was indeed lying. If you do any research by neutral fact-checking groups it is clear that Obama was NOT lying.
They believe everything from FOX news, while demonizing the MSM (main stream media). Yet they don't even recognize that FOX is just as guilty as anyone else of filtering the news to fit their own political agenda. Do they honestly think that FOX is fair and balanced? When was the last time you heard anything positive about Obama and the administration on FOX? WHy didn't they report about the bump in support of health care reform after Obama's nationwide speech?
They are brainwashed by the likes of Glenn Beck and they support the outrageous extremist groups such as those carrying messages of hate at the tea party protests.
I'm an independent who is also socially liberal and fiscally conservative. But, these crazies on the right have totally alienated me. What bothers me the most is the fact that they act like everyone agrees with them.
I think September 15, 2009 9:56 AM is my long-lost twin.
If you do any research by neutral fact-checking groups it is clear that Obama was NOT lying.
________
Don't you realize that anything that MIGHT happen is fact, therefore completely nullifying the actual text in the proposal?
The extremist right wing has taken over the HT forum. I can't even read over there anymore without feeling sad. I mean, these are my fellow Americans. It makes me ashamed to be from the same country as some of them.I don't understand how they can be so selfish, uncaring and just plain hateful.
If you guys start posting over there, I will too! But I'm afraid to go in alone.
I would but I refuse to post under my regular forum name. If I create a new identity, I'll be looked at as a troll and will be totally ignored. Which will happen anyway, unless I get froggy and post something that might offend someone, which is the only way to get a response.
I haven't posted there in a very long time. It's not worth it. They don't want a conversation, debate, or anything else unless you agree to their ideas. They only want to hear what they want to hear or for people to agree with what they say. If you like Obama you are a kool-aid drinker. Though I do enjoy a glass of grape kool-aid every once and a while.
French Ruby ... they hate her.
September 15, 2009 9:54 AM
And I am so thankful for that. If there was even one iota of a chance that anyone in that particular group was anything but ready to string up a noose for me I would be REALLY worried about who I must be becoming.
Incurring their wrath doesn't bother me one little bit. I think of putting another side in HT as a sport that is also a public service (could I get a grant for it do you think?). The only problem is it's way too easy. All you have to do is state a fact and they go apeshit. Takes all the fun out of it. Well, nearly all.
If you like Obama you are a kool-aid drinker. Though I do enjoy a glass of grape kool-aid every once and a while.

That cracks me the hell up. I remember reading a thread a while ago where one of these ladies was brought to tears after listening to Glenn Beck. Please. If that ain't drinking some kind of LSD-tainted kool-aid, I don't know what is.
Hey, I'm brought to tears every time I listen to Glen Beck! It makes me cry that there are people in this country that call themselves "Americans" who listen to that vomitous crap and eat it with a spoon.
I've got to repeat this link. If you didn't watch it, please watch it. I think I caught a glimpse of Tammy, Lara and Opeysmomma in the background! LOL!

I'm another moderate who's tried to post there. I've found that they either refute what I post (even if it's true), or they just completely ignore it if it doesn't fit in with their agenda. How dare anyone post an intelligent thought there.
Hey, all, I'm the previous pearl clutched poster...and lumping me with them is kinda the same...really and truly, not all right wing, ultra conservatives are like them...
said with a smile here...
sadly all groups, have their whack jobs! I bet you even cringe when someone who believes the way you do goes off the deep end in ridiculous!
Oh, I do. Trust me...when I saw some videos of people gathering around Obama (I think it was just before the election) just to touch him because they thought he was some kind of God or something...I cringed. Hard. There's wing-nuts on both ends of the spectrum, for sure. I just happen to think MOST of them lie off to the right.
Another assumption by the HT crew: If you like Obama, you must be a Bush hater. Sorry...not true. Obama inspires me. But I was never a Bush hater. I voted for Bush 1st term but not the 2nd. I would never spread hateful lies about Bush like they are doing with Obama. I think Bush did his best, but, some of his decisions ended up being horrific for our Country. I would hope that we all could be supportive of our President and acknowledge some positives and some negatives. But, they aren't even a tiny bit respectful toward Obama.
Its like watching a train wreck!
I do see that the faithful bigots in there are now aborting the thread to push their right conservative psyco babble in another thread.
although christina is still trying to disect it enough to save them all.
Honestly Christina. When was the last time you refered to your kid as Half Caucasian and Half Something else. Havn't you always refered to him/her as just your child?
I honestly can't believe that thread is still there.

I swear sometimes these people have no brains at all.
I guess maybe if they weren't so dense over in the HT forum, the idea that another dissenting opinion is valid would occur to them.
Since they don't I guess this is the logcial place for us to chat.
People need to get their panties out of a wad and think clearly. (sorry for the mixed metaphor)
How dare you people talk about things that happen on a public board! I mean, repeating conversations that happened in public, and expressing opinions about the opinions expressed in those conversations! How LOW is that? Where is your respect for the sanctity of other people's bigotry?

How much do you want to bet that filmore is Tammy? Her posts are way too "I'm really comfortable posting here but not as comfortable as I was before I opened my big mouth, spouted racist comments and got nailed on the ass for it."
Either Tammy or Lara Payton.
K, who broke DST?
do you think the bullies are having a bad day? sucks to be called out for what you are...hypocrites
Never mind, it's back. Not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed.
Am I dense? What did Ruby mean by her 'DST is brought to you by the letter H' comment? Was it just a way to help people find their way here?
H for Hypocrit...
hypocrisy. lol she's good.
How dare us? What are you going to do about?
You really have nerve thinking because you can run people off of DST HT forum, that you can bring your big mouthed butt over here & say how dare us?
News CHICKY. The world doesn't live and breath by the rules set up by the DST cronies. Now get your buns back over there and start slamming a few more innocent posters.
You fluff brained idiots still don't get it? It's all about attitude. Those posts from the likes of Lara, Txmusicmom, Two wet feet, Pach, Cassie, Tamm., etc just drip with self righteousness.
Take a deep breath and calm down. The original poster to which you are all huffy about was being sarcastic. Re-read the post.
See...communication is difficult on the internet. More than one person did not read the sarcasm that I believe was intended in that post.
I was at a conference recently and the speaker said that sarcasm is not an effective way to communicate. (in our house it is the main way of communication!) But anyway...the reason is that not everyone *gets* the sarcasm and takes the words they hear literally. It is because people brains are wired differently and so you have to be careful when using sarcasm.
It's the primary form of communication in our house too. Guess if I want to stray into advanced languages I should start with German or something, more people would probably understand it.
Yes, I am that OP. And yes, it definitely was sarcasm. I kind of prefer the irony of the second accounts complaining about the HOF mind you.
WV: tryousin. Try ousin your brain when reading something on the HOF that looks like it was written by Donna. She reads here, she doesn't have the balls to post though.
OMG Donna 'heard [her] name was mentioned' here. LOL yeah right, only heard THAT one about three hundred times from whiny HOF smackees. Course most of them have the good grace to come HERE and say it.
So is she lying, or is she saying that she started a thread complaining about something she'd HEARD about but hadn't actually read? Hmm, I wonder.
There are a few sensible posters on the HT, but quite a few have left as well.
I miss NellieRose and GinaMarie. It's nice to see that Ruby goes in every now and again and shows them a mirror, so they can see how idiotic and hypocritical they are. Flowergirl.Jess, another voice of reason. Mikki and Theresa H, two more people who actually know how to debate.
they used a word analyzer and criticized the number of times he used the word 'I',
---------------
I'm just snipping the whole post because the word thing hit the nail right on the head. They pulled that speech apart on the words used and yet they use phrases all the time without thought.
Like kool-aid drinker or drinking the kool-aid. Does anyone have any idea what that is referencing? That was a horrific part of American history and to use it so lightly just makes me gag. Or when they use the term Nazi and talk about the man who starts with the letter H.
OMG, I just read AnneofAlamo's post. You go girl! I have to wonder though if some of the hot heads in the HT have any idea of what you were trying to say.
I'm so hurt. Opeysmama thinks I am grotesque. Whatever will I do now? Why are people so mean? Why can't we all just get along and agree to disagree? etc etc
^^ Sarcasm, by the way.
Yawn.
I don't even know why it's called Hot Topics. It should be renamed the US Political Forum. It's all they seem to discuss and all they seem to care about. It's very exclusionary to those who don't live in the US and most times, if not all the item, they don't give a rat's ass if you post about a controversial topic from or about somewhere else.
Seems to me the whole HT is against the ideals of DST, but what do I know?
I'm so hurt. Opeysmama thinks I am grotesque. Whatever will I do now? Why are people so mean? Why can't we all just get along and agree to disagree? etc etc

Well when I started the thread, I didn't have the link - just heard my name was mentioned. Now I've seen it. Never been there before. Don't care to post. That's not my style.
The owner of the blog won't even respond to emails- Maybe they should read these links-

To have such disdain for Hot Topics and DST in general- they sure know what's going on here.......hmmm
Oh to talk about those who may be posting here under a different name- what they are doing is nothing compared to that blog. You know - some people have a lot of time on their hands.
Yeah, funny that. She's had it in for me since the Lily Ann thread when she basically called me a liar, a slanderer and a shit stirrer. She didn't have anything to say to me after the truth came out, which is a mark you can measure by.
I think maybe she's just pissed that she got shown up then, and she holds a mighty grudge. Can't say I am particularly distraught about it.
Hot Topics-the stupidest thing Shannon ever did. And that's saying a lot.
Yes, Donna some people do have a lot of time on their hand.
Don't you teach school? Is your laptop smoking yet. It should be with all that crap you post from school...if you are telling the truth.
Why did you remove your blinkies? Aren't you a proud CT'er?
Donna/txmusicmom has known about this blog for a long time. She has been reading (and maybe more) for a long time. Anytime she brings up the blog, she uses the same tired 'a friend told me about a place . . ."
Am I the only one that thinks it's HI-larious (and quite hypocritical) of those like DirtyFeet, opeysmama, etc. to say "If you don't like it, don't read it or don't visit" ?????
srsly??
opeysmom is the reason I don't ever post in there. She spits venom at everyone who doesn't share her opinion, whether you direct your comments to her or not, like calling Ruby grotesque. Completely rude and uncalled for.

no you're not alone. the bullies are crying foul...boo freakin' hoo
Hi my name is Anne and I read and comment here!
I laugh and smile, and sometimes enjoy stirring the pot with acute sarcasm anonymously.
I can with all sincerity and honestly say, I have never said anything malicious about any group or individual. I have been known to roll my eyes in my house at some of the comments, but I think that is still okay?
I wave to those who are still anon, and I love to read your comments, some are hilarious and desperately remind me of Roseanna Danna of the old Sat Nite Live...and others have made me think!
I now go back to my regular anon status and being a nobody in the scrap world but enjoy it anyways!
And a good ol' fashioned witch hunt to finish off the day! Get me the pitchfork!
Seriously, who cares if someone is posting under a different account in HT? As long as they're just debating/posting and not actually being a complete jackass, I couldn't care less. Well, actually I couldn't care less about the whole thing, but the drama sure is entertaining!
Does anybody have the urge to shout at Txmusicmom? "You Lie!"
(about not knowing about the blog, and emailing the blog owner?)

that was my 1st thought LOL
Snap Ruby! That's the thread I'm talking about.
What *&^%^ hypocrites...they actually think people are upset about the forum...
They are the ones that blew everything out of poportion when racist tammy got called out and deservdly fired....by the way...where has she been today? Is that her new identity? kinda kkk ish...hiding behind a robe?
Well now they have done it.
Wouldn't that just rip them all to pieces. If one their own, was the one just busted for getting a new nic.
Poor PACHIMEC (however she spells her name), is just dying to know who the offender is.
Why did you remove your blinkies? Aren't you a proud CT'er?
I don't think she's been on any CTs for a while. Probably hasn't had much time to scrap lol
