Come on, now. Everyone knows that disagreeing with a conservative constitutes "attacking" them.
Oh, yes, how foolish of me!

Ummm.....I think you've got that backwards.
Nothing can screech with the shrillness of a liberal with their "beliefs" or motives in question.

You don't think conservatives ever screech?

Never with the frequency and glass shattering shrillness of the left.
Anyone not in lockstep with their rigid beliefs has names like BULLY! or RACIST! or HOMOPHOBE! or FASCIST! screeched at them.

The reaction to Margaret Thatcher's death from the left was astonishing. The outpouring of sheer venomous hatred, not just at the individual but towards white middle/upper class England in general, was exactly the kind of thing that these people would normally accuse right wingers of.
I never liked Thatcher, and I'm not exactly a fan of the middle/upper class English, but the disgusting behaviour that I witnessed then from the left wing was just shocking, arguably racist, and everything I used to believe that being on the left was supposed to be against.
The worst thing was that these people couldn't even see that their behaviour was indeed prejudiced. They truly believed that such behaviour and sentiment automatically becomes acceptable when they decide to indulge in it.

For what it's worth, although I am not British, I do consider myself a liberal and I was also appalled by the demonstrations mounted after Lady Thatcher's death. I do have a couple of British friends who are definitely not Tories
and they were as astounded as you over the matter.

Go back and read my first post in this thread. Just because a person isn't screeching and calling you names does not mean what they are doing is not deeply offensive, whether it's calmly and smugly assuming they have the right to tell you what to do about a pregnancy, whether you should be able to marry the person you love, or whether you deserve the taxpayers' assistance based on their judgment of the way you live.
You don't have to screech to be arrogant.
Why should I go back and read your first post in this thread? Is this thread all about YOU?

zer0netgain,
It's more that the left is bullying the bullies, rather than joining the right in bullying marginalized groups.

A bully is just as unique as your so called marginalized groups.
Are bullies just ret*d monsters? No. Just like LGTB folks aren't.
Being a bully to bullies is just as worse.

I beg your pardon if that was the impression I gave. I merely felt that what I said in my first post might be a fitting response to your allegation that liberals are worse screechers than conservatives.

As opposed to SOCIALIST!, COMMUNIST!, ANTI-AMERICAN!, WELFARE ADDICTED LOSER!, or IMMORAL SATANIST!? And one I heard for the first time yesterday: RACE BAITER!
The right isn't nearly as quick to jump to name calling as the left.
Reason being is that the left's beliefs and policies don't stand up to scrutiny as well.
Quote:
Neither conservative nor liberal extremist can really pretend to have the moral high ground on hatred.
You say this /\
Then throw another dart at the right. \/
Quote:
From my observations, I would say that a larger percentage of liberals regularly spew out hate filled crap (more often than not directed at Republicans and Libertarians), but the most disturbing and extreme examples are almost exclusively from the staunch conservative camp (usually directed at those deemed to be Hell-bound sinners).
Quote:
And just for the record bully, racist, and fascist are names I have heard frequently from both sides to describe each other.
Coming from the left, I consider all three to be compliments of the highest order.

Question 3- Have you ever heard of the Ku Klux Klan or the American National Socialist party? Last time i checked those cats were pretty right wing. Failing that, if you come to Europe you will find all the empirical evidence you could ever need that the right is more hateful than the left.
I don't seem to recall left wingers engaging in mob hangings of african americans or advocating the extermination of global jewry.

If we're associating the present day right with Nazi's and the KKK then lets go ahead in all fairness and associate the present day left with Communism. Talk about hatred and genocide.
