When the left or the right says:

So and so is a this, a that, and some other negative sort of person (or

When the left or the right says:

So and so holds an incorrect perspective on this issue because........,
that is a first amendment right to an alternative viewpoint.


Lumping an entire class or group into a statement made to cast that
class or group in a negative light nearly always precedes hate-filled
rhetoric.



Hmmm....

One can project a negative opinion of a person or policy without it
automatically stooping to the level of "hate filled rhetoric". But it
seems that those on the left are particularly sensitive to this and
seem to blur that line between criticism and hate.
