If tracking and describing internet wildlife like something out of National Geographic then liberals would probably be classified in the following way.
They love to use the word “ignorance” to summarily dismiss whatever you say. “I wont debate with such ignorance” is commonly used.
They also love to say things like “Faux” “Fixed” and or “Fake” News when referring to Fox News. It is also used to dismiss whatever point you made as illegitimate because you obviously got it from there despite no cited proof. Also, they do not at any point give you what they consider to be a “real” news source because it usually consists of MSNBC, some show on Comedy Central, HuffPo, BuzzFeed, or Daily Kos.
Pop culture > Reality.
They consider naked censorship to be a justifiable way to limit debate as long as it narrows your ability to refute their assertions. Describing what an abortions involves or the AIDS rate among gay males are almost always censored as “hate” speech.
“I believe in science. You are anti-science” is used constantly to try to relegate any questioning of a conclusion in a science discussion to the level of some caveman questioning if the world is round.
Bashing of religion:
Christians are always hypocrites and evil. They love to dismiss arguments by saying “well doesn’t Jesus teach you tolerance” as if that means that Christ meant that anything goes. BTW the Crusades (((1000 years ago))) make Christians as evil as radical Islam today
Judaism is attacked under the guise of attacking “Zionism” as if that makes it ok and not just being good old-fashioned anti-Semitism
Islam is NEVER mentioned. If it is they will brush it off as you being “racist” or that “well I don’t know any Muslims, so I cant comment”....AS IF THE INTERNET THEY ARE USING JUST STOPPED WORKING.
All other religions are too populated with ethnic minorities to be safe to bash.
You forgot “overly generous use of obscenities, and in particular the phrase “bat sh** crazy”.
“We have no morals, and we will attack you.” Pajama Boy.
and if they know that they can't get away with calling you ignorant, they will call you pretentious or arrogant
Great synopsis.
Most of what liberals say is all “projection”. This includes 0bama himself.
What they hate the most is “Certainty” and anyone that professes certainty is in turn a bigot or judgmental.
Fundamentally, they don’t trust the opinions of the confident conservative because they themselves have been conditioned to believe that everything is relative. As a result, they can’t trust a conservative’s view because they don’t trust themselves. They are projecting their uncertainty, as if everybody thinks like them.
Replace “Internet” with “any” and I’d say you got it covered.
For these libs, government is wonderful and Big Government can solve everything. They have to find out for themselves (as many are finding out with the Obamacare disaster) that Big Government oppresses more than it helps.
Characteristics of some FR posters as well.....
The four points of “liberal” messaging:
1) Discount the message,
2) Discredit the messenger,
3) Distract attention,
and finally,
4) Declare victory
Our language is information. We speak and hear information. By contrast, the left speaks and hears only ideology. We might change our ideology as the facts (information) dictate. The left changes the facts as ideology dictates.
