Why do people hate Liberals?

[Old Rocks]

The one thing about this board that most baffles me is the incredible depth of hatred and contempt for liberals.

The amount of comments from people suggesting all liberals are stupid, anti-patriotic, dumb...you name it. One even suggested liberals don't know what paragraphs are.

I don't get it. And I don't see anything the like the contempt expressed by liberals towards conservatives.

Firstly, the term "liberal" could be used to describe about half of the planet. Like "leftist", it's a fairly cliched catch-all adjective that have little real meaning. It's just too general to be much use.

Secondly, I've met extremely intelligent people from right across the political spectrum - and as many idiots. I've talked to brilliant facists, idiotic conservatives, intelligent communists and brain-dead centrists. I don't see a pattern there at all.

And lastly, why hate liberals when many of the most successful and celebrated administrations have been liberal ones? Were the governments if Clinton, Wilson, FDR, JFK and Truman really so much worse than conservative governments of similar eras?

The constant attacks on liberals seems to me (as an outsider) just a sign of incredible arrogance and conceit - and I would consider attacks on conservatives the same way.

If there is a REAL reason, with facts, for hating liberals - let's hear about it.

Meanwhile we have threads where Liberals on this board called republicans and tea party members terrorists. Traitors murderers and mentally incompetent. I can't count how many times the left on this board has posted threads claiming Conservatives are mental defectives, mental disorders or insane. I can't count how many times the term terrorist has been used by Liberals on this board to describe Tea party and Conservatives. All with out a single source to back the claim.

Every time there is a high profile shooting the left in the media and this board and the DNC all announce gleefully that it was done by a member of the Tea party or a conservative. And every time they are wrong.

Asking for positive Id to vote is labeled a trick to deny voting rights, or claimed to be a poll tax. How many threads have we had where it is claimed the right stole elections and in the same breath statements that voter fraud doesn't happen so no need for ID. Explain again how the right supposedly stole a National election twice if there was no voter fraud. Ohh and provide evidence any election was actually stolen.

You sure we are on the same board?

LOL. Naw, not all of those things. Just mentally incompetant will do. As applied to 'Conservatives', not conservatives.

People who can't take responsibility for their own actions generally find someone else to blame, and hate who they've decided to peg, to make themselves feel better, I suppose?

Well, there are plenty of idiotic posters to go around, Sgt!

I totally agree that this kind of posting is stupid, and I wish we saw less of it.

But personally, I see more "dumb liberals" comments than I see "Tea Party terrorists" comments.

"Progress" progresses into Orwellian territory - once the idiots realize what they have done to our society and culture it will be too late.

I don't understand progressives whatsoever... Why does a person want a government to run their life - dictate what they can and cant do - dictate what they can and cant eat - dictate (eventually) where they can and cannot go?

Again.... May 2012......



Unless you want to read through several years of postings..... you dont have legs to stand on.

Ill give you a hint.... just stick with liesmatters and it should give you a nice taste.

Nicky Baby, there is damned little in life that you understand. Until you learn to do real research into what is being said by whom, instead of listening to whatever dingbat is currently ranting, you will continue to come off as one ignorant fellow.

 

[Mr.Nick]

LOL. Ol' Nicky Baby and Zoned Out proving everything that Saigon said about very willfully ignorant assholes. Gotta love it.

Another one-liner?

Why don't refute our claims?? oh yeah you cant... Your ignorance gets in the way...

Sorry your 8th grade education (yeah I know you call it 12th) can only take you so far in life...

It(suckon) has proven nothing and continues to prove nothing in any argument it has stated. It's quiet pathetic to make statements about socialism and liberalism do not equal nor doesn't make the same definitions. We are not interested of your limited historical context of world events b/c at the end of the day you will make arguments out of ignorance.

Mr Nick and Zonly 1:

I posted a more accurate and widely used model of political theories in post #63.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

One can get a fair idea of the amount of education that differant posters have attained by the logic and lucidity of their presentations of what ever subject they are interested in.

Ha! I think Bripart, Mr Nick and Zonly1 have proven my point admirably.

And again, I am not saying that left wing posters can't be as bad - I'm just saying there aren't as many of them relying on the really Dial0800-CLICHE style posting.

before you start dodging out of town maybe you can dispute my claim that socialism and liberalism are one of the same.

fuck your prior comments....answer mine and I'm sure as hell not going to look ur at aprior post.

 

[MeBelle]

Their economic theory's are destructive.

I don't see there is any evidence of that at a theoertical level.

Some of the world's most succesful governments have been liberal.

In fact, I think you'd struggle to mount a case that conservatives have a better economi record in government that liberals. In any country.

Everyone needs to take a peek at where Saigon says s/he lives.

USA posters should then understand Saigon's question better.

There is absolutely no subject you know more about than I do....

Anything from theoretical physics to grammar - you're an idiot compared to me....

And again.... you have not been around long enough to make that kind of statement..... lol.


A good deal of your leftist deal a cliche idiots are no longer around..... give it time and i am sure they will be back in droves again

I live in Finland.

Where we have 10 major political parties, 8 in parliament, and 4 in government.

Your point being....?

Your answer is in post #63.

It's up to you whether you look at it, but personally I think the idea of the political horseshoe is the basis for understanding all modern politics (without spending 4 years at university, anyway!).

I'm not proving anyones point Socrates...

 

[Saigon]

I'm not proving anyones point Socrates...

As long as you keep posting that suggests Stalin, Truman, the Dalai Lama and Joe Liebermann are on the same political team, then yes you are.

At the point you realise that Hitler (extreme right) has more in common with Stalin (extreme left) than either do with Obama or Romney, then you won't be proving my point.

For the fifth time on this board - the only difference between Stalin and Hitler were THEIR FUCKING MUSTACHE....

I would love for all you intelligent motherfuckers to cite examples where they were somehow different... Oh yeah that is right only pop culture and academics attempt to differentiate the two...
