Liberals rarely attack people personally
The Two Towers LP MUD's reality forum | Leftwing Nutcase

Posted on 05/21/2003 10:53:55 AM PDT by Sockdologer

This comes from a message board I post on.

I thought some of you might enjoy it:

It would seem to me that the left simply points things out. Like the fact that medicaid is paying less and less for drugs for the sick and elderly as the AARP site says, the fact that a tax cut for the rich is proven not a comprehensive way to stimulate jobs and the economy, the fact that the environmental situation is exactly as the EPA website and UN Earth Watch website say, very dangerous and worsening, the fact that the US deficit is at its absolute highest ever, and, of course, the absolute fact that the social services in America are decimated at a time when so many are losing out so big.

The right wing loves to dispute such facts with fiction. I have been debating them a long time now. From the environmental issues to the cutting of the social programs their arguments are fantasy and delusion. There is no global warming? It is not caused by burning fossil fuels?

These arguments are absurd by now, yet ral and others still argue them, and are quick to attack any who disagree with them vehemently and quite personally. It is the same with the welfare cuts. Most who receive welfare are lazy welfare mothers? Proven not true statistically, but I would have to research that. Most on disability fool the system? Absolute fantasy and I don't have to research a thing as I am so familiar with the system.

It would seem to me the left sticks to facts and the issues, seldom attacking the right in a personal way.

The right wing these days has no argument to make anymore, actually, there is no credible argument against fact these days most certainly.

Ack, I didn't realize. :(
But Sockdologer is the alternate spelling,
which was more appealing to me.

"The Gingrich That Stole Christmas".
Trent Lott.
President Bush (in many ways, including "Smirking Chimp").
Ken Starr.
Rupert Murdoch.
Paula Jones.

Not to mention the labels that seem to apply to anyone who opposes the liberal party line: racist, sexist, homophobe, mean, greedy, stupid, fascist, ...

This is just plain untrue. The worst emails I've ever gotten in reference to my column were from rabid liberals and Democrats. Personal? I'll say. They don't even try to make sense. They simply call names. Like idiot, bitch, stupid, small brained, fool, Nazi, etc, etc. You get the picture.

I'm sorry, but I lost my copy of the Constitution.

Where, exactly, is the "Right to Free Social Services" located on the document?

lets see, If you are a journalist and you right something positive about the government, you are a whore

Ahhh if you are pretty, blonde and skinny and you comment about the government in a positive way you are a scum sucking poor excuse of a guy..

let us not forget their obsession with freerepublic.com, they post more of our post than their own, but yet they will tell you that they are individuals with their own ideas and thoughts along with being the educated ones.

The good news is most of them (most being the key word) grow and become republicans.

This is true. They usually attack the back that is the way of a coward.
