And conservatives wonder why everyone else thinks they're too extreme.
I honestly think it goes both ways.
When I first started being active on internet discussion forums Bush was president and I was appalled at how ridiculous all the lefty types seemed. Every little insignificant thing they'd make ridiculous attacks about, jumping all over the most irrelevant minutia to get spun up about, suspending all semblance of common sense when it was convenient. I even remember how many of them were even predicting Bush would declare martial law to stay in power.
Then Obama get elected and its the same shit from the other direction. I don't think either group is representative as a whole of their political party or others with similar ideological leanings, rather it is a case of the small minority spend the most time making the most noise.
In other words, politics brings out the extremist retards from either side. This thread being a good example from the right.
