I hate you.
Well, when I read this, I said boy do I know where you are coming from.
We have people on this board like the Libs he speaks of.
Who hates the other more - liberals or conservatives?
By Dennis Prager
Apr 4, 2006
Here are three questions comparing liberals and conservatives:
1. During the 2004 elections, which car was more likely to be "keyed," i.e., deliberately scratched -- a car with a "John Kerry" bumper sticker in an overwhelmingly conservative area, or a car with a "George W. Bush" sticker in an overwhelmingly liberal area?
2. When speaking at colleges, do right-wing or left-wing speakers need and receive police protection?
3. In a debate between a right-wing and a left-wing speaker before an audience equally divided between left and right, which audience group is more likely to boo and hiss at the speaker with whom it disagrees -- the liberal or the conservative?
Here are the answers:
1. Where I live in liberal Los Angeles, drivers of most vehicles with Bush-Cheney bumper stickers have told me (and I have often seen) that their cars (and mine) were deliberately scratched. When I have asked about the fate of cars with Kerry-Edwards stickers in equally conservative areas in, for example, Orange County or even the Bible Belt, no Democrat has reported such intentional damage to his car. This does not mean it never happens, only that it is far more rare. I would bet a lot of money -- and I am not a gambler -- that cars displaying conservative messages in liberal areas are far more likely to be defaced than cars with liberal messages in conservative areas.
2. When Ann Coulter goes to college campuses, she is accompanied by a bodyguard. And colleges routinely bring in police to protect her and to guard against student violence. No bodyguard or police contingent is necessary for Al Franken. Another leftist, Noam Chomsky, a man who has devoted his life to attacking America, goes from campus to campus without worrying about having so much as a pie thrown at him, something regularly done to conservative David Horowitz.
3. Whenever I have debated representatives of the Left before politically mixed audiences, I have been hissed and booed far more than my opponent was. Others who debate leftists report identical experiences. Why? Because in general, conservative members of the audience are more civil and less angry.
There are a few reasons for this discrepancy. One is that the more left one goes, the more one is likely to encounter people who subs ute "social justice" for personal morality. Another is that in the eyes of most leftists, people who oppose their "progressive" views on the environment, the war and taxes are such morally inferior people that they are not owed decent behavior.
But the biggest reason is the most obvious one: Liberals hate conservatives far more than conservatives hate liberals.
As Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic Party, said on national TV, "Our moral values, in contradiction to the Republicans', is we don't think kids ought to go to bed hungry at night." Republicans don't care about starving children. Liberals deem conservatives to be racist, phobic, war mongering, money worshipping and sexist. It makes perfect sense to hate such people. I would, too.
The converse is not true. Conservatives tend to view liberals as immature and foolish. But childish adults and fools don't merit the hatred that racists do. And the liberal charge that conservatives generally label war critics "traitors" is pure fabrication.
Liberals may counter that conservatives hated President Bill Clinton. But that hatred has been more than matched by liberals' hatred for George W. Bush. And more to the point, Bill Clinton is one individual. Liberals hate virtually all conservatives with the same intensity that many conservatives hated one man named Bill Clinton.
There are conservative examples of such hatred. But they are much more rare. I am comparing the typical passionate liberal with the equally passionate conservative.
If you don't believe me, try my car test. And send the repair bill to the Democratic National Committee.

One of a host of many right wing voices on the radio. This should be balanced.

Wow, that's scientific. Denny asks some of his buds if he had this problem and deems that the libs are out of control, or unhinged has the unhinged Mic Malikin likes to say. How about the numerous stories of Kerry supporters being fired because they had a Kerry bumpersticker on there car? That has as much statisical validity as Praeger's biased observation.
2. When Ann Coulter goes to college campuses, she is accompanied by a bodyguard. And colleges routinely bring in police to protect her and to guard against student violence. No bodyguard or police contingent is necessary for Al Franken. Another leftist, Noam Chomsky, a man who has devoted his life to attacking America, goes from campus to campus without worrying about having so much as a pie thrown at him, something regularly done to conservative David Horowitz.
Ann Coulter has advocated political assasination, spoke of wanting Justice J.P. Stevens to be poisoned, Coulter is clearly an inflammatory who needs a bodyguard because of the hate filled bile she spews. Horowitz is a clown and hence the pie in the face, Soupy Sales has more credibility than David Horowtiz who has a cottage industry of attacking academia because of this own shortcomings. Also, Richard Steele, GOP token black candidate fabricated an instance whereby he said it "rained Oreo cookies" when he came to speak on a campus once. No one could validate his claim and in fact custodial staff contradicted it. After all, they are the ones who would have had to clean in up. Verdict: There are kooks on both sides of the aisle and when lightning rod individuals like Coulter speak, there is a chance they will be confronted.

I guess he didn't hear the Jerry Springer/Sean Hannity debate. Drunk and verbally abusive wing nuts had to be removed from the hall and there was plenty of hissing and booing coming from the Hannity supporters.

Uh, sure.
As Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic Party, said on national TV, "Our moral values, in contradiction to the Republicans', is we don't think kids ought to go to bed hungry at night."

If the shoe fits......

ONE MAN!!!!!!!! Have you seen the fund raising correspondence from various Republican groups? Ted Kennedy, Micahel Moore, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Al Sharpton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Streisand, the list goes on and on...... Be honest about this Praeger.
There are conservative examples of such hatred. But they are much more rare. I am comparing the typical passionate liberal with the equally passionate conservative.
Go to the Free Republic message board and see this statement is absurd.
If you don't believe me, try my car test. And send the repair bill to the Democratic National Committee.
Why to the DNC? The most ardent progressives that are likely to do those sort of things are disgusted with the Democratic leadership or lack thereof when dealing with BushCo.
