"Hate" has been so over-used as to have little real meaning any longer. Just like the race card is dog-eared from how many times it has been played, calling someone a hater nowadays, more often than not, is used to try and stifle legitimate criticism of the actions of a group.
Against illegal immigration? You hate Mexicans. Think moderate Muslims need to speak out more against Islamic terrorism? You hate Islam. Decry black-on-black violence? Why, you're a racist. Think Rudy is too liberal? You're a Rudy hater. Think Mitt is too liberal? You're a Mormon hater.
There are some posts on FR that trend to the bad side. But almost all of those get yanked. What remains is generally valid criticism of groups that have no desire to be criticized.
BTTT for great post of common sense!
Eureka hoss!!
