Why do we see so many "liberals suck" "i hate the liberal" "liberals are dirtbags" questions, and yet there is no liberal backlash?

We have plenty of things to throw at the imbeciles that insult us, and yet we don't. Is this proof of our higher ability to be intelligent and civilized?

I've seen posts on here a lot saying that the poor are only that way because the dems give them handouts. That it would help the poor more by never giving anything. I don't understand this.. Is it really just a talking point to make it seem dems are anti poor?

However, there is one area where in polite circles it is still acceptable to really reach deep down into one's emotions and truly hate someone - spitting mad, eye-bulging, blood-pumping hate - and it is politics. Hate is presently practiced much more by the left than the right but neither has clean hands in this kerfuffle. Interestingly enough, many on the left also include Catholics and evangelical Christians as acceptable targets of hate but that is another story. Listen to the national Democrats and the blogosphere, the amount of vicious hate spewed is rather amazing. Try substituting the words right-wing (or left-wing), Republican, George Bush, etc, with black or woman or gay and see how the venom sounds now. Would you say that in polite company? I doubt it.

Republicans have a blood lust for murder. It seems they enjoy war and since the cease fire in Lebenon , republicans have been depressed that not that many children will die now. When I put all that into consideration, IT amounts to the fact that Republicans should be considered a terrorist group that supports killings/ genocide, and murder for political purposes which is the definition of terrorism.

Its a shame that these demostic terrorists (Republicans) dont see how bad their ideologys and hate are.

FREEDOM is a great thing. WHY ARE THEY SO MUCH AGAINST IT?

Life is beautital ( WHY ARE THEY FOR MURDERING IT?)

why did George W Bush take credit for the arrest of these wannabe terrorists today, knowing the US had as much to do with stopping the plot as Pakistan did?

do the American people still believe what the President says?

That's why Hillary Clinton has anti-war protestors howling at her public events. That's why she has drawn an anti-war primary opponent, Jonathan Tasini, who appears to believe that Israel is a terrorist state. If those rumors I've been hearing about a Hezbollah/Hamas/DNC merger are true, we might be in for a slightly longer fight.

But would you honestly expect a retarded man to identify himself as a retard? Would you honestly expect him to jump up and say, That’s me, good ole’ retard. Actually he might, because, you know, he might not understand that you’re making fun of him. But you get my point.

What’s that you say? I shouldn’t use the word "retarded"? I’m sorry, but you’re infringing on my First Amendment right to free speech. If we are allowed to say, write or do anything we want under the First Amendment, why do we have slander and libel laws? Is it because these laws are only intended to protect liberal beliefs from those who seek to expose them for the inanities they are? No, these laws were put into place to prevent people from abusing their rights.

Also, why does the First Amendment apply to flag burning, but not to public prayer? Is it because religious speech inspires hatred? And flag burning inspires what? Love, peace and grooviness?

Let's face it. Many republicans in this country have a reputation for being racist, sexist, or both. Would Condoleezza Rice have any chance in hell of winning over Republican voters if she were to run for President?

robert anton wilson, of course is the co author of Illuminatus! Trilogy, and author of the Cosmic Trigger series, Prometheus Rising, and many others.

granted, he's really old- but most presidents are pretty crusty- at least wilson is an intelligent and innovative old crusty white dude.

The Court said, "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer."

Given that 1/3 of a century has passed and the level of medical knowledge has increased many times over, should we take another look at Roe v. Wade?

People who think like that are the only reason they could EVER win. I am hearing people talk like that more and more and it needs to stop. Live not in fear, live in caution. There is a HUGE difference between being cautius and being scared. The government is not setting up restrictions on things because they are scared. They are doing it to be cautius. We HAVE to change to defeat this new type of war because it surley will not go away if we simply "Go on about our business" like some suggest. We need to FIGHT it not ignore it. People think the terrorists are winning since we are being cautious. I say NO WAY. The only way they win is if we do nothing and ignore it and allow them to kill us, because make no mistake they WANT to kill us no doubt about it. I say lets not make it easy on them by simply going on with life as normal. I say we put more money in defense and more money into this war. Iraq may not have been the right place to start but it could be the place to finish it. Agree?

This is part of Seymour Hersh's well supported thesis and explains some of the motivations behind the recent Israeli-Hezbollah conflict. Hersch is a respected journalist with a history of uncovering the Mi Lai massacre, Abu Gharab and other government abuses.

Historically, these "cultural" clashes have ended in one side or the other getting beat down so that they wouldn't do it again. The south in the civil war, Germany/Japan in WW2, Bosnia, and so forth.

I don't really need a history lesson. I pose this question realizing that firsts things first, Israel has to withdrawl from squatter settlements and release prisoners.

Poison speech defending "freedom fighters" or "terrorists" without something constructive will be taken as a no. As will please pity me talk from Israeli sympathisers. I just want to understand if there are any dynamics other than those I stated above. Basically, did I miss something?
