Sadly, the crazed zealot-to-normal person ratio in this country appears to be worsening, on both ends.

I'm more concerned about the corrupt Democrat party than the language someone uses. You must be a liberal.Leonard Pitts Jr.: Standing up to the language of hatred
An excellent appraisal of the rise of Trump.
well bury your head in the sand then. stick your fingers in your ears. get real you think we can't even speak anymore without this BS. that sentence is true and happening daily over therewaves of Muslim rape gangs rampaging through Europe - hysterical bolloxWhen you use deliberately inflammatory language like that it is clear that you have a hate agenda. It is possible to discuss issues without telling lies.Admittedly taken from conversations on here.
There seems to be a huge appetite for unpleasant, authoritarian,jingoistic politics.
Much of the rhetoric on here is intolerant,racist and akin to what I would expect to read on a 30s message board in Nazi Germany.
People spout the most vile racist accusations but can never back them up with actual facts. Anybody with an alternative view is shouted down and there is little or no discussion, there is a default ideological position for every issue.
It seems that you cannot criticize the Israeli state without being an anti semite.
I have been a member for nearly two weeks and I have learned that -
The KKK were a neighbourhood watch group who only strung up black racists
That a Hollywood film was produced in order to forment a racial holocaust amongst the black population.
That socialism is akin to marxism/communism
That helping out a neighbour is Anti- American.
That decent drinking water is not a right.
that there is no connection between bombing somebodies home and them becoming a refugee.
That a realistic foreign policy is to bomb Syria and everyone in it.
That European politicians encourage "Muslim Rape gangs".
The President is a communist muslim.
That Donald Trump is a force for good.
Knowledge of Europe is minimal. I am sure that some frothers think that we are being raped every day by armed communist/muslim gangs. Its a hysterical agenda whipped up by people who seem happy to behave as latter day Nazis. There are problems in Europe and they can be traced back to the Bush/Blair illegal wars in the middle east. This seems to be beyond the ken of the frothers.
When any of these things is challenged with boring facts then this is ignored and the yahoos continue to reiterate their half baked crap.
It seems that moderate voices are drowned out be a tidal wave of ignorant semi literate hate speech.
Is this modern America or are the smart folks talking elsewhere ?
I believe this must be the case as America has rejected right wing politics for the past two elections. You dont hear much of the democratic candidates though. Where are they ?
Is right wing imbecility gaining ground in the US or is the media just highlighting, for example, Trumps followers for comic value ?
Its a worry for those of us who live on Planet Earth.
Considering that you use the term "Nazi" to refer to anybody who is rightfully appalled by the waves of Muslim rape gangs rampaging through Europe, I would think anybody with even an average IQ should be able to spot the extremist.
What inflammatory language did he use? He used your words from your post.
