What left-wing hate and vitriol?

[Yonivore]

Facebook Group "I hate it when I wake up and Sarah Palin is still alive" Breaks 2,000 Members (http://punditpress.blogspot.com/2011/01/facebook-group-i-hate-it-when-i-wake-up.html)

And, this shit didn't start on Saturday.

I also saw a YouTube video that strung together a few minutes of Twitter Screen Caps that basically carried the same message.

Nah, there's no left-wing vitriol and hate.

Have any of you ever waded through the cesspool that is democraticunderground.com? It's chocked full of this hate-mongering on just about every conservative figure you can imagine.

There's no such thing as left-wing hate.


When left disagrees with right, it's called reasoned discourse.


When right disagrees with left, it's called racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, etc. etc. (see Keith Olbermann)

As usual, Yoni's dragging in rat turds and tries to pile them into a mountain.

There is NO EQUIVALENCE in the volume of hate-media on the right and whatever the fuck rat shit Yoni digs up on the non-right.

As the right-wingers pointed out, even one outlet like Air America couldn't stay afloat, while the VRWC finances dozens of stink tanks and Fox Repug Propaganda megaphone.

The problem is the the mainstream republican party uses this language. WIth President Bush most of the name calling was from the left wing of the left wing but now you have a news organization that does it on a daily basis. you have politicians threatening to secede, making 2nd amendment remedies for the govt now etc...

there is no moral equivelency

There is NO EQUIVALENCE in the volume of hate-media on the right and whatever the fuck rat shit Yoni digs up on the non-right.You would know. You're a rat turd monger yourself, only you're very partial to republican turds, and misplace the democratic ones.

And pardon me, but even if you're right, so what? There's no prize for being less hateful that the other guy, much less any exoneration of culpability for the "atmosphere of hate" or the general lack of civility.



(The irony of you carping about civility and the atmosphere of hate, boutons, frankly couldn't be any richer. Monkeys can't sell bananas, dude. :lol)

[CuckingFunt]

Gotta give credit where due. Yoni is aces when it comes to refuting a point no one made.

[Winehole23]

He is, but boutons and GGA have been suggesting hate is a GOP exclusive pretty much nonstop.

[boutons_deux]

I've never said that there's no hate from the non-right.

I say there's no equivalence in the VOLUME of hate from either side. Hate-spewing, fear-mongering, xenophobia, racism DEFINE the right.

Yoni's approach is "I searched hard and discovered this obscure rat turd of hate on the left. THEREFORE, the left is as bad as Yoni's Hateful People." False equivalence.

[CuckingFunt]

I'll have to take your word for it with boutons, since I skip most of his posts, but I haven't seen that exact argument from anyone else. Including GGA.

I have seen people make the argument that hateful/violent/whatever rhetoric on an official level, coming from the party itself, is exclusive to those on the right -- an argument with which I disagree, incidentally -- but that's hardly the same as suggesting that liberal citizens don't start facebook groups and say dumb shit.

[Winehole23]

I say there's no equivalence in the VOLUME of hate from either side. Hate-spewing, fear-mongering, xenophobia, racism DEFINE the right. Ok. then. There is hate on the left, but it doesn't matter.


(Now you're parsing the rat turds.)

[Winehole23]

I'll have to take your word for it with boutons, since I skip most of his posts, but I haven't seen that exact argument from anyone else. Including GGA.That exact argument? No. But he very clearly minimizes the responsibility for one side. Incivility wasn't invented by the GOP.

:rolleyes

[Winehole23]

Well, it wasn't.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Well, it wasn't.

incivility has well known bipartisan history...

[Oh, Gee!!]

facebook doesn't kill people, people kill people.

Words in my mouth. You head up your ass.

I didn't say non-right hate didn't matter, I said its VOLUME has no equivalence with the systematic, orchestrated, decades-long right-wing hate media.

ignorant, stupid tool dubya lied and bullied a traumatized, but trusting country into a war-for-oil, 100s of 1000s died.

Serious adults and true patriots would dissent loudly and vigorously, even HATED the criminal.

[Stringer_Bell]

LOL Facebook group...

It's not funny at all. This is clearly further evidence of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy against Sarah Palin.

I like how any time anyone says some shit about Palin, it automatically makes them "left-wing" or "liberal." Why can't those people just be individuals hating on a dumb bitch? You don't have to be politically savvy to recognize the bullshit she says and does, it's quite obvious regardless of political colours.

btw, lol wtf is democraticunderground.com? how do you find those places? astonishing!

You are obviously the most hateful person on this forum. What made you that way?
