Wait. That's not my point. My point is that when asked to defend Arnie, his supporters typically name-call. That's an independent point of whether McC supporters do the same (and in what manner they do so). My point is not simply "You do it and we don't." My point is that name-calling the poster and name-calling the candidate reflects an animus towards conservative principles in general. Poohbah, cinnamon_girl, strela, all the usual liberals on FR do this. Now this behavior reflects the mindset typical of the feces-throwing radicals at the 1967(?) Democratic national convention more than civilized folk...but when you worship accumulation of power, then all you have left to do is smear those in your way.

Ooooh, it called me a "liberal." I'm wounded!

(I'm still trying to figure out if being called names by a moron really means that the opposite of the name it calls me actually holds true. One of those "chicken and the egg" things ...)

Go away, child.

Cute... in the midst of a lecture about ethical posting and name-calling, you flame specific Freepers, call them the vile name "liberal" AND fail to ping them to the post...

Pot, kettle, black comes to mind for some reason.

OK, so we're expected to behave better than you uber-cons.

Sorry, you'll get repaid in whatever coin y'all offer.

My point is not simply "You do it and we don't." My point is that name-calling the poster and name-calling the candidate reflects an animus towards conservative principles in general.

Sorry, y'all started it.

You have this habit of saying things about others on FR that one should generally avoid uttering in real life unless one has a gun in hand, in Condition One.

Now this behavior reflects the mindset typical of the feces-throwing radicals at the 1967(?) Democratic national convention more than civilized folk...but when you worship accumulation of power, then all you have left to do is smear those in your way.

Actually, it was 1968, and y'all started throwing the feces; you're just whining about the inevitable response.
