Welcome to FR. There is just as much hate on the right.
I have to admit I felt a little bit of glee when Olberman complained of chest pains, but in all honesty, I was also relieved when it was revealed when it was simply a matter of him wearing his bra too tight.
“There is just as much hate on the right.”
The Right hates people who are trying to take their freedoms. The Left hates anyone trying to stop them from doing so.
What's the color of the sky on your planet, Skippy?
Compare threads on FR concerning Elizabeth Edwards' and Teresa Heinz-Kerry's cancer with DU and KOS threads concerning Dick Cheney's heart condition and Rush Limbaugh's recent illness. FReepers offered prayers and good wishes. What did the "Progressives" offer?
Truth be told, some on FR behaved inappropriately when Ted Kennedy deteriorated and died. Yes, the moderator's were busy. However, what went on at the Lib sites when Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford passed?
Reagan and Ford led honorable lives, while Kennedy was a womanizing scoundrel who literally got a way with second degree murder.
But the real question is, which side spewed more hatred?
Peddle your defense of the fascists somewhere else. Few will buy it here.
I think you confuse righteous anger against irrational emotional hatred.
I am angry at those trying to destroy this country in any number of ways. I am angry at evil people doing wicked things and calling it good and trying to force me to call it good or make it illegal to call it bad. Being human I think everyone may have a few people or things (living and non-living) things they “hate” but for the most part, I am angry at those people, but anger isn’t “hate”. Anger at what they are doing. Anger that they’re duped and feel great about being duped.
In the long run hate is unsustainable. Hate doesn’t drive things on and motivate people long term. Hate wears you out. You can’t be happy while hating. It clouds everything. That’s why those on the left are never happy, even when they get what they want. They hate.
Hate has never been a foundation for a sustained movement that has ever succeeded. Righteous anger, however, has. The colonists who desperately tried working with the King for decades before finally declaring independence, didn’t hate their country. They tried many, many times to get their demands recognized and the pressures lifted off them. They didn’t “hate”. They finally had no recourse and believed they were in the right, and were angry at a government who took and took and never listened to them.
So please acknowledge the righteous anger we feel on the right isn’t the same thing as the haters on the left.
I think you confuse hatred for low tolerance of willful stupidity.
You seem to have struck a nerve. The difference between hate and righteous indignation depends on which side of the political spectrum the person that your comments are directed at is.
Not true. There's never a perfect symmetry. There is more hate on the left, and there's a reason for it, namely that the left is out to create heaven on earth. When you're out to create heaven on earth, you're entitled to hate those who oppose you. In fact, it would be a sin not to. So they hate. They are full of hate in a way that the right simply is not.
Have a nice New Year... or ZOT... whichever comes first.
hate on the right have you ever seen the homosexual and far left sites like KOS, move on huff post.
They’re as much hate on that as any site have ever come across.
The left have always hated anyone they disagree with, they hate and hate and then shout tolerance when they want their agenda pushed onto others.
Did you see how the homosexuals acted because the majority of folks do not go with their agenda.
The left have hated since before the NAZIS who were too left wing.
Perhaps so, but why post that here?
whY Ya’ Gotta be a Hatuhh?
Still here? IBTZ II, Rise of the Troll.
You are a liar or a quite ignorant.
Go look around at what DU had to say about an ambulance showing up at Limbaugh’s hotel vs. what Freepers had to say about an ambulance showing up at the President’s door a few days before. Go look at what they said about Laura Ingraham’s cancer diagnosis (such as wishing her an agonizing death as punishment for the sin of opposing single payer health care) and what we said about Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer diagnosis.

No sorry there is not! People did not wish Kennedy death when his illness was announcd like they did to Rush there was no comparison in the hate coming from the left.
