How come liberals always accuse conservatives of being racist or religious fanatics?

Question

Could it be they know we are RIGHT so name calling is ALL they have?

I AM SICK of being called a racist for stating FACTS pertaining to welfare and illegal immigration, and too religious for being MORAL and having VALUES!

Answer 1

I will never accuse anyone of being anything but what they are. Make a racist comment, I will call you a racist. Indicting one person should not indict the whole group. The same applies for liberals, by the way...

Too many people equate the issue you mention, especially immigration, with racism. Opposition to illegal immigration is NOT racism, it is respect for the rule of law. Welfare, on the other hand, is not a racial issue unless applied to the illegal immigration issue, and then it is a legal, not racial, issue.

Morality and "having values" is not a religious issue, either. I know a few atheists who are more honest and moral than a lot of the "Christians" I have dealt with. I will gladly quote religious tenets to fellow Christians. I refrain from doing so to those who are non-Christians out of respect. I also try to refrain from using my religion to justify my political slant. The two are mutually exclusive. Religion has no right to interfere in democratic politics, just as politics has no right to interfere in religion. I wouldn't want it any other way...

Answer 2

When it comes to immigration, alot of liberals agree there is a huge problem. BTW, the people in this country who are on welfare by the largest numbers are white. Third, as far as being religious, just because you are religious does not mean you are moral or righteous. Many Christians and Catholics including the churches capitulated with Hitler and with slavery in this country. Being religious doesn't make you right, it makes you a believer, it doesn't automatically make you righteous and moral.

Answer 3

Being religious and being a bigot do not go hand and hand. One can be one without the other. Unfortunately, bigots lump Muslims in one group, and conservatives always equate welfare with the black community 8 times out of 10. Yet blacks are 50% less likely to be called in for a job interview solely on having a black sounding name and/or voice. . Blacks are 50% more likely to be shown real-estate in poor performing markets. Blacks are 75% more likely to be arrested for the same offense as their white counterpart. Blacks are 75% more likely to serve a jail sentence for the same offense as their white counterpart. Blacks are 85% more likely to suffer from police brutality. This is as of December 2006 not 50 years ago.

You can't systematically hold people back and accuse them of not excelling at the same time. If you want to talk statistics with anyone at all, then discuss all of them versus only the ones that belittle people. This is why the information coming from many conservatives is considered racist as they leave out pertinent information when discussing race and/or religion.the Muslim

Answer 4

Is too complicated for you? The Republican once was the party of liberals and the Democrats were primarily the conservatives. For example, George Wallace was a Democrat, but he was not a liberal. Make sense to you now?

Answer 5

Yes you are right , when devoid of an argument or facts resort to name calling and catagorizing.

Calling somebody a racist just shows that person is devoid of any resonable argument in my book.

When we see minority leaders not get their way on an issue they always bring out the racist names like the spoilt children they are.

Unfortunately some names do hurt

Answer 6

Because a lack of understand history and playing the blame game. Anybody who has studied history ( and not from a liberal school) knows that it was the republicans that freed the slaves and pushed for civil rights. Their party is represented by a klansman names Robert Byrd. They try to deflect their guilty onto our party just to make themselves feel better about themselves.

Answer 7

Liberals' arguments rely on emotion, not fact. The facts don't support their arguments, so they make emotional appeals and hope that people sympathize with them and don't consider the real underlying issues.

Then when the conservative makes his/her counter-argument based in fact, the liberal claims the facts are racist or otherwise unacceptable in our overly-PC society. By making these bogus claims, they keep conservatives on the defensive and uninformed people believe the liberals must be right because they are the ones attacking while the convervatives backpedal.

Answer 8

Well, most people most think that, because the Democrats have a wide variety of ethnic groups in their presidential campagin, while the GOP only has the same ol' Old, White, Warhawks running for president. Go figure.

Answer 9

well I'm sick of being called a terrorist, gay, America hater that lives on welfare... when I'm none of those things...

why do conservatives do this... could it be that we are right so name calling is all they have?

OK, OK, OK... see how stupid that sounds? you sound just as stupid...

HERE IS THE REAL ANSWER:

it's called immaturity, and it only proves that some people are fools, nothing more... and it's on both sides...

that's pretty much it...

sorry to burst your bubble...

Answer 10

Your perception must be similar to those on Y!A who call Senator Obama a Muslim and use slur words, which I can't say, to describe his ethnic background. And for the record, I don't know many religious fanatics who are liberal (none actually).
