Have you ever felt ambushed on here....I posted a political question (that I have since deleted) and I?

Question

got such vicious comment for mentioning an anti bush event, that I was stunned...probably 17 mean, hateful comment all from republicans and only one or two deomocrats...was told should be shot, run over by a truck, tortured, and recieved multiple insults..I was stunned as I hadn't realized republicans were that mean and intolerant of other viewpoints than their own..do they get they from emulating people like Rush Linbaugh?.

.I was very upset, felt like crying, angry, and felt so ganged up on and wondered what has happened to people to make them so mean, insensitive and intolerant of anyone who differs from they opinion...they even insulted a long time retired vet who didn't like Bush

Several said we should be jailed (and no doubt tortured).

I would never dream of wanting to shot, kill, run over with a truck, jail, or deport any of them...they seem to want the death of liberals.

How do their reconsile this with moral values and being Godly and Christlike? I was told Yahoo

was a red site..well, only then I guess,

have you ever felt bashed on here and so unsupported by anyone..how did you handle it..I have been upset about the whole thing for 2 hours...angry and almost to the point of tears..I felt completely attacked and my post was quite innocent.

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT

Where were all you sweethearts when I needed you ..actually I guess it was a while ago about 3 and 4 am..all republicans telling me to get a job and I had no job..I guess all the dems were sleeping to get up and go to work to pay for those rep tax cuts.of these rep slacker up all night

.if we did get deported for our "treason" and "mental illness", how would they pay those huge deficts...since they love their money, they'd be beggging us to come back. lol

I think I will respond personally to some of your posts and they gave me hope they were some understanding, kind liberal on here who got me feeling better and to laugh.

are you going to the antibush protest this thursday 115 cities?

EDIT to groove..yes, I really like the green party and am politically involved and know some greens and some people that ran or are running in ohio as greens, ind, or dems. Unfortunately without IRV they don;'t stand a chance..I am not that pleased with dems either..both parties corupt and like one party (to benefit the rich and corporations)

edit to dukalane--yeah, I've gotten the insultig emails too.

edit to jo anne..thanks nice to see a decent repub...I know there is some but hard to find somethig at least on here.

lovely--yes, the media lies and edits things.

David--I think maybe you have a point this guy tells me my thoughts were garbled and stupid and idiotic and I gradualted after 6 years of college ?Magna *** laud, 3.9 and reared two highly giftd kids and taught gifted kids..and am VERY well read..I think they are mad that they can't articulate well. I think the post I did where I mentioned a upcoming protest scared them,,they were afraid people would go they are expecting big crowds oct 5th nationwide.

EDIT to tarro--yes, let's hope. You have every right to be proud..Most liberals I know are highly intelligent, caring, wonderful good people with true insight and tolerance.

EDIT to Jay..thanks, hon..it was truly awful...I know they have a lot of blood of their hands fro=m no health care, war, hosuing social programs cuts (including vets) to the tume of 5o billion..with the reverse Robin Hood bill passed in Dec,and the way the whole world seems to hate us now and also we hate (it seems) each other..I never saw this bad blood between people before in the country..even with relatives..that's what happened when Rush and all them took over,etc.

When right is on your side and you remember peace ,love, and the poor etc like jesus said, that helps., even people with no religious beliefs know that right is right and have a conscience.. Love and understanding and caring for the least of these and seeing pople not as enemies but people is so important.

lulu--you post was so on target and funny it got me laughing, not once but twice..on the first read and just now to comment on it. You are a doll..sorry for your bad experience..nice to be able to talk to someone..of like mind.

akablack--ohh and I wear them on my sleeve..highly sensitive types...took it all personally I'm afraid..you made my laugh..and several said all liberals had no common sense, but what you said so true...they have their heads up their but..s so far, they think they are thinking straight..when they couldn't be more wrong.

EDIT to silver birch--yeah I know we gathered like over a half million signatures to get minimum wage on ballot---a whopping 6.85 and they are gonna fight it like crazy.

Oh, I was so upset about the Chavez citgo thing..it was on the corporate, rep news last night calling for all to boycott,=. I am really mad at 7 11 and will be avoiding them now and it is closest to my house too..not citgo but got gas there all the tin=me..well driving that extra block now. He called spade a spade..they will trick the sheep into "patriotism" when really it's about Chavez selling gas without the middleman in those poor America pilot cities at about $1.oo cheaper a gallon and scaring the heck out of the oil/gas companies currently making a killing...what if they had to turn back a dollar to compete (and it wasn't even near an election..heaven forbid..All Ohio stations (citgo) are closing..It was the only bright spot when I pumped gas and knew instead of going to Saudis to enhance their palaces

free food, health care, housing, and education and the poor US people cheaper gas to offset program cuts..Lord knows Bush doesn't care about the poor.

travel' man--I like you--I really do, you are one cool republican..you are right..I am not thrilled with the dems at all, but at least I can say it (and do often) whereas MOST repubs will defend Bush no matter what..wanting to kill liberals and inprison them for protesting a man that have definitely had his share of problems..that's what I don't understand..I know reps exist that can criticize someone like Bush or Taft oru gaovernor, voted the worst governor in the nation with a 17% approval as repub brother did just that but my extreme rush linbaugh loving 2 brother in law..that kind of blind devotion is scary. You are right we are an arrogant, ignorant nation but I do not believe I am narrow minded..for my age I think I am pretty opened minded and informed, but I really liked what you had to say and you made me laugh and who cares what those pecker heads say is right..I do know a lot of the world agrees with me..and I am sure I even have a few hings in common with repubs. thanks..

EDIT to sitara..thanks for sharing the poem ans there will always be lesser and greater people to the left and right (unless you are Bush and there is noone on your left (just kidding---I couldn't resist.

NEW edit to travel' man--your civil, rationale, and amusing psot got me thinking..I was guilty of stereotyping reps and I generally try not to gneralize---I guess somethings when you have a lot of contact with certain types, it becomes easy to think they are all alike...there is so mcuh hatred on here, but you reminded me that people are people and always individuals first.

EDIT to love tojack--you are right..I suppose right before he pulls out the I told you it would be a heck of a lot easier to be a dictator, so I thought I'd try and you are wither for ME or against ME,,,the good (bushies) or the evil empire of lllllliberallsss

peaches--you know you are right..dems in congress are wrong on that one--but they usually don't give the people what they want, do they? Ignore these people and come to the protest..google world cant wait (oct 5) and be among friends.

EDIT to joy, UR a sweetie..sorry about that woman..this guy on there got banned I think some of them were reported..there were a few liberals and he'll probably opened a new yahoo and stalk me (but sionce my question got deleted as someone reported me (one of the 18 attackers..hm which one they were all so nasty..maybe he won't be able to find me.. excuse typos everyone..tired and not correcting.

EDIT to dingdong thanks honey, I appreciate your support..I am a strong activist..told I'm brave and in the comany of people way braver than me still working on election reform etc..Everyone is sutre we are infiltrated due to several factors..one of the main people in the building we use is an attorney who sued Bush in 2004 and running for govenor as an independent...been rabble roussing he has over 35 years and everyone says..they know all our info already so it is kind of scary.

Answer 1

Wow! I have never been treated that badly. It IS too bad that some people can't just view others viewpoints that differ from theirs as being just different and leave it alone. I could get into a ton of political jabs against Republicans because my viewpoint is much like yours. I am not going to because I am better than that. Just ignore what has happened because there is nothing you can do about it. Just take satisfaction in knowing that this country is in the shape it is because of a Republican.

Answer 2

Oh yeah. I just had content removed for hate speech and it was my opinion on How to stop Geroge Bush, there waas nothing hoteful about it, but someone didn't like the fact that I leaned toward impeachment. But Oh Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion and if the have to report you for not seeing it their way, I guess that is what they have to do. Too bad though that they have such tunnel vision.

I am just continuing on and I choosing my opinons and aswers in a way as not to offend anyone who does agree with what I may have to say. My advice to you don't get upset this is suppose to be fun a learning experience and some will make it that way and some won't.

I would also like to state that these comments are not meant to offend anyone if you do not agree you contact me via the email and we can discuss. Thank you all.

Answer 3

Nowdays Repubs have the money, demons are poor people and getting poorer. Don't feel bad. I feel stunned, upset, and insulted when my answers and questions get deleted or answered in a insulting manner. People have become very passive. (I, me society). Bush is the pres. and no one better not insult him. Look what he just did to the man that came over here and called him a bad name. Now the gas supplied by his country is no longer allowed to be sold at 7-Eleven stores, when gas is already high and people are fussing about getting to work at the expensive prices it cost. It cost more to get to a job than the job pay, but our great governor is upping the minimum wage. Ha Ha. Joke.

Answer 4

Finally someone i can talk to. lol.
Don't even get me started on some people here. which seem too many.
I would ask one question, and they would twist my words around to say that i said something insulting. Then they start the abuse at me. All i wanted were answers, or opinions, but obviously some people are just too angry, and take it out on people online (probably because they have no friends) and they just take it out on anyone who posts a question. Losers..

Don't worry i've been infuriated many times. Once i wrote back an email saying "all i wanted was an answer, you have issues", i got no reply.
I think the rule of thumb on Yahoo is :only ask questions that asks for a quantity of something.
Even Yes or No question will get people hurling abuse!
Cheer up, some people are idiots and a lot of them like to use this space to hurl abuse at people, as they probably can't stand up for themselves in real life.
Once again, totally agree with you, and nice to see there is someone else getting abused too. lol

Answer 5

There does seem to be a lot of crossfire here between Republicans and Democrats. A question which is not a carefully crafted insult does attract a lot of flack if it is seen as an easy target by either side. I guess that is the nature of politics for you.

Answer 6

Wow, I am sorry you went through that. I posted a response to a question that Republican CindyL ask, and she e-mailed me a dozen times calling me every name in the book I couldn't believe that she would kiss her momma with that mouth. I finally e-mailed her back and told her I thought she was cyber stalking me.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it. Republicans have a tendency to cover up their mistakes or lies with anger, If you want to make someone forget about what they asked, get angry and outrage them so much from your anger that the question just goes out the window. That's what Bush does.

I'm sure that I will get some e-mails from this too.

Answer 7

Come on let's not gang up on the republican party now...i mean let's face it democrats are'nt the most open minded either...dont forget this is America and including yourself we are the most arrogant narrow minded country in the world...so what if a million or so pecker neck republicans disagreed with you, there's a billion or so people outside the Planet of America who agree with you.

Answer 8

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than yourself.......



This is a beautiful poem with words of wisdom to live by.

Answer 9

Consider these times to be the most polorizing times since the Civil War in this great countries history.

You either side with the present regime or you don't - there isn't a lot of middle ground.

If the Bush administration had their way, they would ship all of the non-believers to Iraq and use them as human shields to protect their failed doctrine.

Answer 10

Yes that's a common thing on here and I've experienced it too. It is difficult to understand, but try and believe these people are loud and obnoxious on here, but hopefully they are a minority. Hopefully.

The idea on here is to try and get a positive message to people who maybe want a different, liberal (I say it with pride) viewpoint to consider. These young neo-cons are scary, but they are just louder and not necessarily more prevalent. Let's hope
