Who are the Haters? - An Internet Search
self | self

Posted on 06/13/2003 4:43:04 PM PDT by zencycler

Every so often, we hear accusations from one group leveled against another that THEY are the party of HATE. From my experience, this charge is usually made by the left against the right, with little or no empirical evidence for the charge other than the opinion of the person making the charge.

So it occurred to me that, with so many people posting to internet message boards, like this one, which become part of a searchable database of emotion, that a somewhat scientific survey could be conducted of just which group of people are hate-filled toward others. Therefore, I undertook to enter simple search terms in Google, and I have listed the results below. You should find this interesting.

Search Term / Results

"I Hate Left Wing" / 5
"I Hate Right Wing" / 722

"I Hate the Left" / 37
"I Hate the Right" / 51

"I Hate Liberal" / 32
"I Hate Conservative" / 55

"I Hate Clinton" / 169
"I Hate Bush" / 3290 (Let's assume half [1645] for each one)

"I Hate Communism" / 153
"I Hate Capitalism" / 293

"I Hate Criminals" / 52
"I Hate Cops" / 1260

"I Hate Pro-Choice" / 0
"I Hate Pro-Life" / 6

"I Hate Anti Life" / 0 ("Pro Abortion" also 0)
"I Hate Anti Abortion" / 2

"I Hate Women" / 2570
"I Hate Men / 5670

"I Hate Atheists" / 101
"I Hate Religion" / 1190


A little off topic, but I'll end on a nice note:

"I Hate America" / 2840
"I Love America" / 18400

Good idea - I always suspected this was the case. The Libs and Dems seem to always criticize Republicans for their own worse habits. This is exactly what is so maddening. It's like communicating with someone who is totally irrational.

After some DU lurkers find this they will post about it at their place and pound on the keys for a day typing phrases to balance the difference.

"I hate atheists"=98

"I hate Muslims"=257

"I hate Christians"=440

"I hate Jews"=655

(These searches were conducted using Google's advanced search feature and entering the phrase in the "using the exact phrase" box. Explaining one's methodology always helps.)

"I hate Bill Clinton" - 98

Of course, it would have been much, much higher if we broadened the search to include synonyms for Bill Clinton: "I hate the liar ... the rapist ... the 'toon ... the traitor ... the scumbag ... ... " ;)

Technically speaking, these searches should be performed with quotes for the entire substring. Otherwise you get statistical miscounts for phrases like "I hate how they blame democrats for everything...". Just a thought.

Me, too! Feminists seem to think all men are bad, rapists, child molesters, wife beaters...the truth is, feminists want men to simply be wimps.

who did I leave out?

That's a good start.

I'd add: all islamist terrorists & all eco terrorists.

You should forward this to Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al.
