Current Mood: | Liberals Simple-Mindedly Lash Out at Likenesses of Their Opponents The joy of arguing with liberals.
In addition to banning our books, shouting down and assaulting our speakers, kicking Senators out of their own party for being only 95% liberal, and trying to pass laws that allow the federal government to dictate which opinions we (and only we) can express on the radio, liberals also mindlessly try to silence those who they cannot intellectually contend with by destroying property. LP: Rush Limbaugh billboard near I-83 defaced (Baltimore city official cheers vandalism!)
Stories like this come out all the time, but only from liberals. You won't find conservatives throwing hysterical, violent tantrums at the first hint of intellectual confrontation. Conservatives respond to things they don't like by writing letters, boycotting...civilized things that respect people's rights.
Conservatives ACTUALLY give a damn about free speech, not just when it's politically convenient, and not just when it's things that have nothing to do with your 1st Amendment right to dissent against the government like the North American Man-Boy Love Association's "rape and escape" manual liberals are so proud of defending.

Yes, the word "only" is too far. "99% of the time" would have been more technically correct. |

If liberals overwhelmingly do a certain thing, there is nothing wrong with examining it as something liberals do. Of course there will be exceptions, that doesn't invalidate treating something that liberals do as something that liberals do. |

Recognizing such pointlessness is really the stuff of come incredibly sophisticated dialectics,and is the representation of such political elegance that to even attempt to detract from such is an act of almost unspeakable barbarity.
Oh, but I forgot to ask -- are you a liberal or a conservative? I need to know before checking you off in the boxes marked "naughty" and "nice". |

Again, you've skipped over the evidence, the facts, and the claim being made, and resorted to mindlessly attacking the person daring to make a point you don't like, further demonstrating the point of this thread.
Way to think it through, Sparky.  |

Believe it or not, there really are only 2 directions you can go from the political center.You are left of center to some degree or right of center to some degree. Childishly over-reacting like this anytime someone analyzes patterns of one side is simple-minded, which is ironic, considering that's what you're trying to portray me as, despite the evidence I've listed showing that the Neanderthal tantrums being discussed here are overwhelmingly a liberal phenomenon. |

Current Mood: | Re: Liberals Simple-Mindedly Lash Out at Likenesses of Their Opponents At Columbia University recently, a representative from the Minute Men came as a guest speaker and had pies thrown at him, he was shouted down every time he tried to speak, liberals rushed the stage and toppled the lectern.
This sort of mindless ape-like tantrum is standard wherever liberals congregate.
Look it up.
There are literally hundreds of news stories like this, and they always feature liberals resorting to smashing things when their ideas are challenged.
You (Gardener and Shuamort) can skip over the issue here and wheel out the angry ad hominems, aghast that I dare notice how overwhelmingly left-wing this problem is, but you will only be further demonstrating the point of this thread. |
