seems like a double standard. then when you site sources they dont apologize for their attacks.

They're mimicking the "fallacious logic" rhetoric technique conservative pundits use during their TV, book, and radio rants. It's like a kid using the "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" response to everything you say. They simply can't answer a question with an ANSWER. They answer questions by attacking the asker without actually answering the question.
It's also pretty useless to site sources, because everything that is written about a topic "1st Tier", such as a study, scientifically-conducted opinion poll, or peer-reviewed research paper, generally is instantly written off as "liberal bias".
Another mistake that is made by liberals and progressives is that they assume everyone already knows the facts when they give their opinions. Most neo-cons DON'T and assume you are pulling your opinions out of your butt like they do or you are mimicking a pundit like they are. They can't percieve that anyone could actually look at facts and interpret them in their own way...if they aren't smart enough to do this, how could you be?

They don't cite a source because their source of information is well known across the world: the bible. Whereas your sources may be much more varied, news articles, scientific journals, surveys, government reports etc... And they don't apologize? Of course they don't. Come on they are the privileged ones, in this whole universe, why should they have to apologize?
And someone said its like 2 kids fighting. NO $HIT Sherlock! But you know what, it is VERY important to find out who started what. And if conservatives had some more accountability they would accept responsibility for their mistakes and own up. It is ok for you to act like a kid but your opponent has to act all grown up, huh? Convenient!

People who act that way have a problem with admitting when they are wrong. They will ask you to site a source as if you don't have a reliable source and then when you provide it, they will act as if they just wanted to know.

There are many idiots on both sides of each debate. The mature people simply state facts to explain their opinion. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but everyone else has the right to disagree with that opinion.
Facts are usually what makes one side win over the other. Without any facts, it's just what you feel.

actually I dont belive that is always the case...same with libs...
They cite their sources...dailykos usually or some other conspiracy site.
Also, Liberals would rather name call or insult you rather than give actual facts. Like humanist
Just accuse someone of being a phobe of some type and that will usually shut them up...

I think I have cited many sources, and the response I usually get is something like, "you bush supporter!" "bush is bad!".
Also, it's usually the liberals who are making the accusations, so the burden of proof is on them. And citing moveon.org is not proof by the way.

Liberlas have often fallen for the intellectual bullying of these cretins who will invariably fall of a cliff if their political masters tell them to. Be like me, ignore their stupid protestations and just state your factual answers and questions. If they doubt you let them look for sources. You cannot educate the the dumb A**ses anyway.

Yeah I know what you mean! It's like when they make those broad generalizations to try to cover everyone with a label even though they're only referring to a small group of people! It's insane! Those damn conservatives. I bet they're praying to Je-Sus to smite you right now. Unless they're too busy drinking Budweiser and smacking their wives around... right? right? c'mon guys, you with me? We liberals are better than them, right? We have the moral high ground here don't we!? right? right?

Everyone should cite sources because other wise I could say monkies fly out of my butt and you'd have to assume what I am saying is true.

Because cons are typically right-wing conservative christian radical funda(mental)ists. Everything is justified through, some guy named, Jesus' death, and therefore OK to do as long as they repent and go to church.
After all, they have all seen, heard, talk to, or felt God. This proves to all of us that they are justified in their actions.
