lol how do you measure “meanness”?
Another secular Jew pushing Marxism via academia.
To the outside observer, this probably holds true, mostly because the left’s accusations are fashioned out of wholecloth whereas the right’s jabs at leftists usually have the ring of truth.
[ While the tragic shooting in Arizona has spotlighted the vitriol that seems to pervade political commentary, ]
Yeah, Vitriol from the Left....
Your comment has been logged as insulting to the researchers.
Outrageous!
The right is mean by telling the truth about the left.
The Tea Partiers are mean by breathing.
Well guess what?......The right is pissed off and we want our country back from the loony left!....We’ve had it, Jack!
Who da Jew?
I’d love to see the data. I find it hard to believe that the team of Ed Schultz, Lawrence O’Donnell and Keith Olbermann came in second in the “most venomous” contest.
Name anyone on the right who was meaner than: Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Hitler, ho chi minh, Castro and the greatest T-shirt salesman of all time. Names please...
The Right may “talk” more hate, but the Left has a penchant for “doing” more hate. Words may mean things, but I always learned that actions speak louder than words.
The loony left put the “Outrage” in our White House!!, damn it!
Left is based on lies and emotion.
Right is based on truth and common sense.
End of story.
It is patently impossible for “objective research” to be done by “social scientists at Tufts University’s School of Arts and Sciences”.
“The term “outrage talk” refers to a form of political discourse involving efforts to provoke visceral responses, such as anger, righteousness, fear or moral indignation, through the use of overgeneralizations, sensationalism, misleading or patently inaccurate information, ad hominem attacks and partial truths about opponents,
and the Tufts University professors are in charge of the award and application of the term.
And they, on the whole, side with the liberals.
Odd.
Two liberal professors publish a single “study” about how “mean” conservatives are, but MRC has been highlighting the opposite for years...
Who do you believe?
“I’d love to see the data.”
exactly. as we’ve seen in other areas, until the data is published, the ‘study’ cannot be considered to be anything of value.
And then get Uncle to pay for it!
Why didn't I think of doing that? (I'm definitely in the wrong business!)
