I see it all the time in Y! politics - conservatives claiming this that is. Are you really so narrow minded to not recognize that people have opinions that differ from yours?

I believe that many liberals make good arguments and good points. I believe that they believe that they are right and we can agree to disagree. I see liberals who use the same type of behavior you describe on conservatives. Hate is a strong word, to actually hate someone on the other side of a computer screen is completely foreign to me. I have no clue who is in agreement or disagreement with me. It could be my neighbor, my mother, my best friend. I can either agree with their opinion or disagree, but hate, not hardly.

OK, I'm not a Democrat or a Republican...
but I am Conservative on most issues.
Do I believe that liberals hate America?
I've said this before and I'll say it again... moveon.org Liberals hate... and hate... and hate. They are so full of vitriol that they need to be removed from office and pushed into the annals of history. The real Democrats... and I know you're out there because I've seen your replies on here... need to step up and toss Howard Dean and his Insane Clown Posse of Uber-Liberals to the curb.
Do I think you, here on Yahoo Answers... hate America?
A few of you certainly talk the talk... but I can't help but wonder if you do that to get attention.
Some of you I know don't hate America because even in your misguided way, and yes I disagree with the notions of most liberals... you only want what you want because you want what you perceive as best.
How many of you are against the war because you just don't want another military family to lose a loved one?
There's nothing wrong with that. It's misguided... but it shows a good heart.
How many of you are against the war because it's an 'illegal' war and we're just there for oil and George Bush is a bad guy? If this is you... you're the problem.
If you're all for Health Care reform because you realize that there is a problem with a family needing to make a choice between food and medicine... you're right. If you support going to Hillarycare and becoming more socialist, you're part of the problem.
I'm still waiting for the Democrats to retake their party or I'll never be able to vote for another Democrat... and then I might as well just register Republican and get it over with.

I see the same from Liberals thinking that most Conservatives are right wing, die hard, bushbot, warmongering, NEOCONS, and Christian zealots.
However, it's not so black and white my friend.
Sometimes people get irritated on both sides and lower their standards and attack a whole group out of frustration.
I don't think all Liberals are unpatriotic. Most of my "Liberal" friends love this country. So do my "Conservative" friends.
There are a lot of radical idiots on both sides. We live in an age where anyone can say anything at anytime no matter how intelligent or educated they are.
Thanks to the internet, they can spew their ignorance to the masses and then some people copy it or think they represent everyone from that political side.
I believe that the majority of Americans are Moderate at best.
No one is 100% Liberal or Conservative in my opinion.

No, that's a load of crap, even though SOME, not all, not most, conservatives say it.
I just think you're wrong about what is right for America.
Do you think, like so many liberals on this site say, that all conservatives are evil, greedy, warmongering, bigoted, misogynist chickenhawks who hate children and poor people? Or do you recognize that people can logically, rationally and reasonably have opinions that differ from yours?

No, I consider myself conservative and I believe that it's the extremists of both ends that get the press. When the Hollywood ***holes go to hob nob with Hugo Chavez and the like they are being anti - American. I also believe that when conservatives embrace the extreme religious leaders that is equally offensive. The founding fathers wanted God, not religion, as part of our make-up. There is a huge difference between God and religion.

I think there are factions on both left and right who are closed minded and paint with broad brushes like that. I honestly believe that most people fall somewhere in the middle. It will never happen but I wish people would just get behind their candidates rather than spew all the hatred at other candidates. It's not about "my candidate will do this and this to make things better". It's about "your candidate did this, which is unpatriotic, etc.".
It's almost like our judicial system now. If you are on trial for a crime it's not whether you did it or not. It's whether you can get a jury to believe you didn't do it.

because of the fact advert Homonym assaults on your opponent are a lot much less complicated than bobbing up with credible logical arguments. Liberals are responsible of the comparable partisan call calling. it somewhat is a 2 sided concern. the two aspects might desire to strengthen up and understand that neither side as an entire hates united statesa., yet fairly they have differing perspectives on what united statesa. could be.

No. Their views are just far part. For instance conservatives do not believe it is ok for a doctor to suck a baby from its mother's womb and flush it down the drain..liberals think it is OK. Conservatives believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and liberals believe it can be anything they want it to be.
Conservatives believe that school systems should not give birth control pills to 11 year old girls . Liberals believe that is is OK and that they do not need to tell the girls parents.
Most liberals are either Marxists or Socialists who believe that big government is the answer top most of society's ills...Remember Hillary's book "It takes a Village"
I do not think they hate America. We just have widely differing views of society.

No, actually the most "radical" Conservatives on this site and I have had many discussions respectfully (Earnest). I have learned much from him, and on some points we just agree to disagree. I also have had some great emails with Sharia, Major Deek, and other Cons that are very respectful about my opinions. There are just as many Liberals that are disrespectful as Conservatives.

actually, no they don't. i've talked to several true conservatives here and found they they agree often with some liberal values. these people that are always spewing hatred on this site merely hide behind the idea of conservatism (and sometimes liberalism). these are just maladjusted sociopaths. liberals and conservatives have worked together to build this great nation and sick little pieces of drek are trying to tear it apart.
ADD oh, and by the way, don't confuse neocons with consevative. two different things entirely.
