Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org
With the US Presidential Election coming up, we've had a lot of story submissions that we would like to post, but they don't fit very well on the Slashdot main page. To address this, we'll be running special political coverage between now and the election in our new Politics subsection of Slashdot. Please submit stories directly to the section for consideration.
As with all sections on Slashdot,
there will be stories available within that section that don't get posted to the main page, so please visit the section if you are interested in more coverage.
We'll do our best to be fair with story selection. We think we can do a good job since the Slashdot editors represent a diverse spectrum of political ideologies. The discussions are up to you guys. Here's hoping the experiment works!
...but how am I expected to read Slashdot politics without a color scheme that makes my eyes want to throw up?
seems like the colors aren't half as bad as it.slashdot.org, i'm happy :)
Marge, get me your address book, 4 beers, and my conversation hat.
1. set up liberal radio network ...
2. dem candiditate wins election
3.
4. Profit?
Political means "about America"? And that means "about USA"?
Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org
I propose the name of this new section be changed to flames.slashdot.org
Yes, yes, this will conflict with the slashdot section devoted to the Calgary Flames hockey team, but I'm sure we'll be able to deal.
And yes, moderators, this is on topic. A colorscheme is (for a novice user) inseperable from its section.
Like I can't find enough badly informed, half-assed political commentary in my local newspaper or at kuro5hin.org or any of an infinite number of random webfora, Slashdot has decided to start discussing politics from the perspective of those who think that (intellectual) property should be free.
Off to add a section to the don't display list.

Is there a socialist flag?
Yes. It's red and white, with a maple leaf in the middle.
"Voting is for Nerds. None of this matters."
--- "When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all..."
For anyone not living in the US who doesn't like the decidely American graphical slant, RTFM.
This sub-section was created to cover the US presidential election and may be deleted after that. At which point it's not covering the US presidential election, then start griping about the logo. Until then, seeing as this section is about the US presidential election, the US flag is appropriate.
-- Political fascism requires a Fuhrer.
Truer words have never been spoken. The right is a bunch of two faced windbags who want things their way. At least the left is willing to really be truly bipartisan and co-operate. However, after four years of lies and tricks, I'm not willing to co-operate with the liars and tricksters. I'm voting against Bush in November. I'm voting for Kerry. Then I'll spend the next four years railing on about how lousy he is in the hopes of getting someone I *really* can get behind elected in 2008.

My Karma was trashed because of politics. A few years ago I said something to draw someone's ire and I was karma bombed. My karma was reduced to the point where I couldn't post anymore.
There are a group of leftists who karma bomb people who post any views from the right, I'm going through it right now with the "overrated" bs to anything I post. It's sad that these people can't engage in debate and have to resort to childlike tactics when someone doesn't agree with them.
What's funny to me is that people think we DON'T have a diverse specturm of political ideologies. :-)
Well, I have no idea about that, since you guys don't really talk much about politics on the rest of the site.
You do everything else around here poorly, though so if history is any guide you will probably screw this up too.
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
In fact, there is now an official investigation in the Navy to investigate Kerry's medals. Including a silver star with Combat "V", which cannot exist as a Combat V isn't available with a silver star.

Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.

Now I have another outlet for my leftist commie propaganda.
