Why is it that people must resort to petty insults and ridiculous claims in order to attempt to prove their point? I am tired of trying to engage in an intelligent political discussion only to find a conservative calling a liberal a terrorist. Obviously you have no basis for your opinion if the only fodder for your argument is an incredulous accusation.
Just had to say that, sorry.

You make a very good point, but I noticed in your premise that you cited only one example. That being that a conservative called a liberal a terrorist. I know, there are too many examples to list, but I'd like to cite another example which involved a liberal calling a conservative a Hitler wannabe. Neither is true and I think a lot of the questions asked on these pages are mere rhetoric designed to incite. Neither political party has the market cornered on good ideas, but you'd think one or the other, depending on which party they favor, is the only party that ever does anything right. In the equation is also the fact that a lot of people just don't possess the intelligence to think things through and express them-self. Their answers reflect their frustration of having virtually no verbal skills and no working thought processes.

I can understand I posted a question that was valid pointing towards the fact that we have our own terrorist being made in this country within the conservative side and it was removed.In fairness there are liberal terrorist to but they were not what I was discussing.Good luck trying to ask any kind of valid question.

Well you can't expect some positive answers in "politics"...though we do see some good and informative answers...but most of the time politics section is flooded with calling each other terrorits and rest bla bla...! this is how it works ! and i wonder if people stop doing this all, half of the answerers would disappear !

Some people use this forum to rant and spout their own views. Some (like me!) actually want to hear what other people think about things, but others just want to bash people who don't agree with them.
Ignore the ones who don't have respect, and try to play nice. That's what I do...and I have a lot of fun here!

To argue from the lefts position guarantees you will lose. We send our low level conservatives out to answer stupid Liberals questions. Those with more intellectual ability usually are not troubled enough to engage you in debate. The Left loses every time when confronted with cold hard fact. Ordinarily I would not bother with your question but today i am feeling generous.

One correction. It's frustrating, not incredible. Small-minded people are eveywhere. Otherwise - right on the money.

What is incredible is that Yahoo! allows people to call Bush and the people who voted for him "stupid," but any question about the integrity of Democrats is not posted or only posted after 45 minutes.

Anybody with an ounce of objectivity would have to admit it happens on both sides. A study on the stats would be interesting, don't you think?

If you are keeping track. conservative trolls have called Liberals "terrorists" about a gazillion times. Apparently stupid is as stupid does.
