that isn't solid blue. I don't post here much anymore due to the hateful nature of many on du. I find it very odd that a site that is supposed to be progressive has to have a forum just for people from the South....just so they can have a safe haven at du....also people that are Christian get slammed on a regular basis here. Really makes me sick to come on here.

I wasn't going to come on du after the tornado since I knew what the response would be and sure enough du lived up to it's low standards. A few years ago, one progressive on du referred to McVeigh and Nichols as home grown wackjobs....little did they know one was from NY and the other from Michigan...however, I did make a point to tell him. Also, a few years ago, a lovely lady from the Midwest made the comment "good" when she heard fires were raging in OKC.

All that being said, I'm curious if anyone knows any other decent moderate or liberal sites other that Daily Kos....ones where the hatred for people from the South isn't so prevalent. Frankly, I'm to the point where I would just like my account deleted....don't want to be counted as a member of this site....makes me feel dirty.
