No, it's the claim with no proof that makes a liar a liar.
And if you consider the truth to be abrasive, while defending the foul-mouthed name calling, you are the one with the problem.
Truth isn't abrasive. Foul-mouthed name calling is. I'm not defending it, I am calling it childish, with may be abrasive to those who are guilty of it. And it seems like there's a lot more of it coming from the "true conservatives", as of late.
It's not only possible to get your point across without juvenile insults, it's the grownup way to do things, and it's a hell of a lot better way to get people to listen to you.
But hey - if you're happy with one percent of the vote, then have at it. After all, who need anyone's vote, right?
Are you suggesting that if I called you faggot that would be okay, as long as I’m a Rudy supporter, but because others who do not support Rudy and do not speak for me have called people foul names, I deserve to be called a name equally foul to “faggot?” Am I understanding you correctly on that?
So it really isn't the insults that bother you per se, its who's doing the insulting.
