Obamabots and firebaggers! Firebaggers and Obamabots! Lend me your ears!
This is my first post, yet I feel like I know you. Your reputation precedes you I guess you could say. I actually posted first on FDL, and what became clear right away is they hold you folks here in high regard.
After all, the first thing they said to me is that an Obamabot troll like me obviously works for the DNC but that they're sure I'd be happy over here.
That was June 30, the first of 4 posts I wrote there. That first post was a barn burner. I wanted to start real carefully and not ruffle any feathers so I gave it the unassuming title "Fired Dog Lake Ought to be renamed the Rush Limbaugh Lake Site."
Turns out they didn't like this title so much. My spelling the name wrong might not have helped-Firedoglake is one word! There were various accusations and charges. That I was a stupid Obamabot. That I was a troll and that I must be being paid by the post.
This was kind of pouring salt on the wounds as I could only wish someone would pay me for expressing my own viewpoints. My answer to them is that if they know someone who will pay me for my opinion if they could kindly let me have their number. Got no answer on this one.
Since then like I said I have written 3 more posts-of particular interest was my post which I called, "Obama: Why he sucks, how he sucks, and how long he's sucked" in the spirit of giving the people-of FDL- what they want.
Here are my 4 posts-so far, if I'm allowed to stay at FDL.

I say if I'm allowed to continue because on Friday I got my first direct dealing with Ms. Jane who while claiming to have no problem with altrenative views also claimed that "this was not the first time" I had pushed disinformation.

See her resonse 148 and my response to her response 158(the initial response she claimed "pushed disinformation." If you check you can see that in my response 91 I had provided a link: if I wanted to provide disinormation would I have done that? In any case I had explained that this was my impression-I wasn't stating a fact but simply what I understood the fact to be-that the banks were lobbying congress while her post assumed they weren't.
In any case I figure after hearing so much about Daily KOS and all the glowing things the FDLers tell me about you I should give you a try. We'll see how long my time here might be.
