not only are those stupid, they are often incorrect.

I'm having trouble coming up with any Democrats who would be annoyed by the sentence "Sarah Palin is an idiot."

Actually, the funniest joke is that it worked. Look who's annoyed.

True, I am annoyed but not by the OP. Nothing drives me up a wall more than dishonesty. He simply wanted to bash conservatives and he has zero interest in finding a list for Dems. Why can't people just own what they're doing?

I am. It leads to underestimating. Never underestimate the other side, it makes you complacent.

You wouldn't believe him if he was telling the truth. Just saying.

That really depends on the person. If someone has a posting history that's completely one sided then tries to claim they're non partisan, the dishonesty is obvious.

I tend to agree. Especially since it only took me three lines on a Google search to find one literally exactly like his for Democrats.

100 Things You Can Say To Irritate A Democrat
 
Personally, I think being able to laugh at your own side is a quality of a non-hack. I see some here lack such qualities.
 
I found this one amusing:

"Republicans hate communism, so why do they refer to themselves as red states?"
 
Yep, looks like a good time to sign off from DP and turn in for the night.

I've never denied my own hackish tendencies, however, I have made conservative jokes and had conservatives take it with humor. If someone makes a joke about liberals the response is invariably, "well that's not funny because it's not true." This has been my observation, YMMV though.

Just cause one side does it, that justifies the action? Sorry, not buying it.

What? Did you mean that for another thread? What action?

You claimed you've noticed Liberals doing it. Does that justify hack-ish responses from Conservatives?

I really just meant that as an observation. In my experience, conservatives are far more likely to have a sense of humor about ourselves. Maybe it's just because there's more to laugh at (see what I did there?).

Nice sig btw. :lol:
