Quoted: Wow, that thing went 4 hours before it got locked. Then the mod apologized for not catching an opposing viewpoint sooner.

Their rules, short version
MESSAGE BOARD RULES (SHORT VERSION)
1. This is a message board for Democrats and other progressives. 2. Treat people with respect. Don't be rude or bigoted. Discuss the message, not the messenger. 3. Don't post entire articles. Instead, post short excerpts (not exceeding 4 paragraphs) with links. 4. Respect the wishes of the moderators and administrators.

And under long version:
WHO IS WELCOME ON DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND, AND WHO IS NOT
We welcome Democrats of all stripes, along with other progressives who will work with us to achieve our shared goals.
This is a "big tent" message board. We welcome a wide range of progressive opinion. You will likely encounter many points of view here that you disagree with.
We ban conservative disruptors who are opposed to the broad goals of this website. If you think overall that George W. Bush is doing a swell job, or if you wish to see Republicans win, or if you are generally supportive of conservative ideals, please do not register to post, as you will likely be banned.
If you have been banned from Democratic Underground, you are not permitted to log on again using a different username. Previously banned members will be immediately banned, regardless of behavior.
People who repeatedly and willfully break the rules, or who generally engage in rude, antisocial behavior, will be banned. It doesn't matter if you are a progressive or a long-term member of this board.

I'm sorry to say, I had to look up "progressives" to get a definition....really couldn't find one. Any how, with the rules saying it's a site for "Dems and progressives".... I find it funny... since the Dem Party supposeably accepts all sorts of people and opinions, yet you have site that blately says if you don't agree, don't join...... aka they want "Yes" people.
In regards to the red, they are bascially saying they do not wish to debate...... just to find ways to make their agenda move forward.
