The folks at Democratic Underground appear to be none pleased at the prospect of Democratic elections in Iraq.
Apparently desite all other evidence, it is all made up.
Need proof of their lunacy? Read their posts
Here are a few examples
With a third of the counrty not voting. A very volitaile third. . .
And the Kurds are going to want to separate. That's even better.
~~~I hear that the Iraqis are really electing "a process" rather than candidates to represent them. That's the latest spin on this lotto draw for a "representative" government. Disgusting.

Totally bogus made-up numbers by this fucking piece of shit Bush administration. They need turnout to be high to claim victory.

Plus while I was writing this story a poster named Mobrule posted a message to the effect that the numbers of only 7% turnout that the DU'ers were citing were wrong. Morbule even posted to several sources that validated his post and discredited the DU posters.
His message strangely vanished along with all his replies. It seems that the "Big Tent" message board that Democratic Underground claims to be is only supportive of free speech if you refer to George Bush as "Mother Fucker" or Dr. Rice as a "mammy".
And you need more proof that hard core libs hate America?
Michelle Malkin has a very comprehensive list of sour pusses. and when The Beltway heas about it, watch out!!
You may not be aware of this, but there are oodles of lefties who don't hang out at DU (though, like you, I do go to see what those guys are up to).
For an alternate Progressive take on the Iraqi election, try this from Scrutiny Hooligans.

Well, there are lefties, and then there are the ones who are lunatic lefties. They are about as mainstream American as the Branch Davidians are mainstream Catholic.
