re: #333 RealismRox

IIRC, I started reading DailyKos sometime in 2006. I remember people posting diaries where they would have some animated gif of a flickering candle for each soldier that died that day. People would post about crying over the war, just a lot of grief stricken people.

Where are those posts and people now? For some reason the change in attitude bothers me, because I think they were exploiting death for political gains. I won’t judge it as patriotic or not, but you have to question the motives of the anti-war movement when the entire movement seems to have fallen off the face of the planet when Obama was sworn in.

See the IGTNT series of diaries. There is one every day and it’s usually on the reclist. Political discussions are forbidden in them. They are exclusively for honoring fallen troops.
