    In the last week I have been called the following by liberals:

    Bastard, cocksucker, fucker, scab, motherfucker, teabagger, son of a bitch. I've been called a waste of humanity, told I should kill myself, and threatened with physical violence.

    Like I said, I will stop treating them like thugs when they stop acting like thugs.


    You need proof first before you can mention that those liberals said that.

  2. Sorry you can't believe your people would say such things, but the sad thing is they are hateful people who believe in free speech only when it appllys to them

    Well I consider myself a liberal and I never talk like that and I'm not "hateful"...not even on the internet where I can be anonymous if needed. So don't generalize.
  4. Yep, its only fine to generalize about conservatives.
  5. Dont see Ali generalizing anywhere.

    Point is that it is very easy to put labels like conservatist, socialist, marxist, liberal on people. But it is very shortsighted as well. Life is not so clean that everything fits in a box. Imho those labels are only used to divide people.

    You make that sound like that's a bad thing. Were not all the same, and anyone who says otherwise is a fool

  7. Having heard Chris Christie in his The Daily Show interview, he'd probably disagree with you. He pretty much agreed that all the labeling in US politics makes it hard to cooperate.

    Christie is a loudmouth who needs to lose 100 pounds.

    The more I think about it, the more comfortable I am with partisanship.

    Well, then doing it your way not much will get done unless the house, the senate and the president are held by the same party... Government would be extremely dysfunctional.

  10. Divide people by saying others are bad.

    Even when those are all held by the same party, the gov still don't get much done. Why should we pretend there are not major diffrences between our beliefs?

    In any case, large numbers of libs are very comfortable with the idea of Obama being a life long dictator. Its fucking scary.
