That the left refers to the presentation of an opposing opinion as
"Hate" is what I find most offensive.

Opposing opinion is fine. When that "opinion" becomes, "In my opinion, anybody
who disagrees with Bush is a tratior. In my opinion, the liberals in this
country are all out to coddle terrorists." etc
that becomes hate speech. An opinion is
"I believe the current policy in Iraq is a good one because........" The
statement, "All liberals should be given a one-way ticket out of the United
States to improve our national security" may be an opinion- but it's also hate
speech.

If your *point* is about being mean tempered, unwilling to accept views
opposing yours and being egotistical, then I guess Bert did prove it. You
fit it to a T as evidenced by your posts scattered throughout this NG.

My point is that those unable to discuss issues resort to hurling strings of
insults.
An insult is an emotional reaction, not an intellectual response.

Thank you for your additional validation of my point.

Right wing insults always welcome. Particularly funny when offered to support
an argument that many right wingers don't specialize in slander. :-)

Why are you so hung up on right wing/left wing? Can't you accept a person
and their viewpoint without having to label or insult them?

You started out as a nice guy in this forum. 'Tis no longer the case Chuck.
Too bad you can't see that.

Take some time away from this place. As evidenced by a recent thread it
looks like you spend every waking moment here.

You mean like krause, kanter, jps, basskisser, gould, etc?

Too bad you're not fair or balanced so as to apply the same standard to
those of your own ilk.

Have you read any of the posts by Harry, jps, basskisser etc? You keep
highlighting mild insults from the people on the right, but high five the
left while the hurl profanity and hate speech to those they disagree with.

While I have not listen to many of the right radio shows, I don't believe I
have heard any of them use the intensity of hate shown by the 3 mentioned
above.

Left wing individuals are not an "institution". Nor are right wing individuals
an "institution".

Many people exhibit outrageous behavior here in the NG. It's funny to watch how
the
accusations fly. In virtually every case, those who complain about various
individuals overlook the hateful flaming done by people on their own "side" and
point out the equally offensive antics by somebody else and label that "the
problem".

Right wing radio *is* an institution, and it rather unfortunately sets the tone
for its listening audience. The largest such audience in the US.

Did you know the largest owner of radio stations in the country is the
corporation that broadcasts the Rush Limbaugh show?

In some small towns, they own *every* station, and are buying up TV stations,
newspapers, etc literally as fast as possible.

And I don't high-five anybody. You must be new here.


This statement applies to everybody:

An insult is an emotional reaction, not an intellectual response.

It was included in a response to a couple of the resident right wingers because
they were the individuals involved in the discussion at the time.

It would be ridiculous to say that a right wing poster flames and insults when
he has nothing intelligent to offer, but that a left wing poster can do the
same thing and it's a sign of inspired genius.

But hey. It's an election year. The dirtiest ******* will win, and both sides
are out to
make sure they're dirtier than the other. Same old thing.

It is not hateful to draw conclusions. That you guys on the left try
to taint such conclusions by demonizing them as hate (and therefore
invalid) is the point.

An opinion is
"I believe the current policy in Iraq is a good one because........" The
statement, "All liberals should be given a one-way ticket out of the United
States to improve our national security" may be an opinion- but it's also hate
speech.

Sean Hannity put it best one day when he made the statement: "I don't
hate liberals. I have plenty of liberal friends. I play golf with
them, I go to dinner with them. I just don't want them in power."

They just don't understand reality.
