Liberals are less tolerant of the views of others.

[L.K.Eder]

Too late, I've already defriended you.

Liberals often if not always promote tolerance through intolerance.

Saw a bumper sticker the other day. It said "DON'T RE-NIG IN 2012". Don't you just love racists.

I've been giving the OP a lot of thought, and came to two conclusions:

1. The OP is predicated on the idea that unfriending or blocking a poster is indicative of being less tolerant. That actually is not true.

Just because I don't care personally to hear your opinion does not mean that I would deny you the right to have that opinion. For example: I'm fairly supportive of protection from descriminiation for homosexuals. However, I don't feel the need to watch Will and Grace or Modern Family simply because of its positive portrayal of homosexuals. I'm also supportive of Rap Music thanks to my support of freedom of speech. Doesn't mean I listen to it at all.

Conservatives on the other hand are often happy to seek out that they disagree with. However, their goal isn't to learn, but to bully and beat down or characterize as Unamerican.

There are folks on this board I've blocked. The reason why is that no matter what is posted, their reply to the topic at hand is always devoid of substance and always involves personal attacks. If they have nothing to add to a conversation, why bother reading them? There are a few posters I could name by name that if I grabbed their last twenty posts I guarantee that 18 or more of them would involve nothing but name calling, racial slurs, and gripes about marxists commie pinko homo leftists. Why bother? That leads to the second point....

2. If a person is wrong, refuses to learn, and denies everything when presented with facts or is otherwise vulgar, why should I put up with them?

I recently did unfriend two folks on Facebook. The first posted an image of Rick Santorum made from a collage of images from gay porn. Seriously WTF. I have two kids. If they'd popped up behind me on Facebook when that post came up.... I mean seriously! WTF. I don't want to even have to explain that.

I support that person's right be mad and offended at Rick Santorum. I Support whole heartedly their freedom to express that anger. I don't have to read it. Biblically you're only supposed to focus on what is pure, holy, and upright. I don't have time for gay porn in my friend feed.

The other person repeatedly posted birther nonsense. The whole birther thing has been throughly debunked. It essentially hangs around now as a way for racists to try to look slightly less "racist". If you're going to hold on to that view after it's been pretty throughly debunked, feel free to do so on your own time. Again, I support that person's freedom to be stupid and look stupid. I don't have to participate.

So if being unwilling to tolerate folks that choose to be vulgar or stupid makes me less tolerant, then fine. I'm intolerant. Truth be told the world could probably use more intolerance when it comes to Stupid.

awesome post.

i wish i had written it. but i am too lazy for that.

I'd like to tie you in a bad and throw you in a lake!!!

I so need to work on my typing......

But lame typing or not, expressions like the desire to tie all conservatives up in a BAG and drown them are not that rare. Most of the time expressions of violent desire come from liberals.

You must ignore a lot of the shit the cons fling here.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

It's not racist to righties. As with Rush's words, it's entertainment

You see any like that, there is the little red flag up there to bring it to my attention.

are you reading only the reported posts, huh?

looks like there are more concerned snitches who cry for nanny on the "conservative" side, then.

Do you have any idea of the effect of hours trudging through shit, you would otherwise not spend 5 seconds on? No. You have a problem, that is real, not imagined flag it.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Coming from a partisan hack, you calling anyone names means zip, zero absolutely nada.

I'm a "partisan hack" for what party?

I see you making proclamations against those who disagree with you, yet offer no proof.

Proof of what? That you're a leftist and not a liberal? You promote leftism, not liberalism.

For example you said Sallow's position were closer to Chavez. How so? Does Sallow propose forced land redistribution like Chavez?

It wouldn't surprise me.

He does advocate state managed health care and confiscatory taxation of "the rich" like Chavez does.

How about nationalizing our oil fields in this country? Any leftist here proposing that?

Would any of you object to that? How about censuring opposition media? Any of you advocating that Fox be shut down or that Limbaugh be driven from the Air?

i have no problem. but punting by saying "i did not see it because it was not reported" is more than conveeeeeeeeenient.

It depends what a Mod is caught up in. Sometimes there are allot of things going on, where there is no time to Post. Just a thought.

understandable.

but no one forced baruch to proclaim this:

"Most of the time expressions of violent desire come from liberals."

Sure you did.

At best, this suggests differences in social networking behavior associated with political views, and nothing more.

There's probably a dozen things wrong with this analysis, such as the undefined categories of "very conservative, conservative, moderate, liberal, very liberal" for example, but I'm just not in the mood to hash it out at the moment.

AND "The American Thinker"; biased perhaps? I've read this conservative, magazine at my doctor's office.

That sounded rather violent of BM.

I think I see a lot of stuff outside mod duties that makes me sure there is more violent posting on the left hand side. Ravi's point of willful blindness might be valid, it might not. In case it is, she has the option of reporting it so that all the mods can see it.

No one person is ever innocent of partisan blindness. Which is why we have juries, and in the case here a wide variety of mods.

It is just over my many decades, I have noticed the left is usually more violent in thought and act than the right. My former job at the bank included a view over Shrunk Plaza in Portland, which is where lots of protests happen. Left wing rallies and right wing rallies had very different behaviors. left wing rallies left lots of garbage and featured in your face confrontations. Right wing rallies, which were very rare, did not feature either of these behaviors.
