The results of this should be interesting as the Orlando Sentinel is VERY liberal and now freepers get a shot at it.

Do liberals tend to be more hateful toward their political opponents than conservatives?

*Yes. The clips of liberal Hollywood stars hurling hateful rhetoric at Sarah Palin in the new documentary about her is a perfect example. Liberals turn on anyone who dares challenge their views. (58 responses) 24%

*No. A few outspoken Hollywood stars shouldn’t be taken as a representative sample of progressives, who as a group are much more accepting of other viewpoints than conservatives are. (27 responses) 11%

*Yes. Liberals who complain about harsh criticism of Barack Obama hope Americans will forget how much more vicious left-wingers were toward George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and how ruthless they are now toward any strong leader on the right, like Palin or Bachmann. (88 responses) 36%

*No. All you have to do is listen to talk radio hosts like Limbaugh and Savage to realize there is plenty of hate among conservatives, too. (72 responses) 29%

poorly written....

there should have been 2 questions....as there were 2 yes ad 2 no choices and I would have clicked BOTH yes choices as one did not negate the other...

Such a simple yes/no type question, but the editor wanted to water this poll down with 4 possible answers so the obvious answer wouldn’t totally blow away it’s opposite.

Of course the lefties are hateful toward conservatives. Lefties, for the most part, consider themselves victims of everything that doesn’t go their way. And, they take their lead from the biggest leftie, the fraud in the White House who continually bashes anyone he feels is not agreeing with him on any subject.
It’s time to flush all of these non-adults.

“*Yes. Liberals who complain about harsh criticism of Barack Obama hope Americans will forget how much more vicious left-wingers were toward George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and how ruthless they are now toward any strong leader on the right, like Palin or Bachmann.”

We do need to concentrate our votes on this particular YES response...we’ll have much more effect this way.

A truly dedicated liberal will turn on you even if they were your mother, sister or best friend the day before you pointed out ANY view alternate to theirs.

IT DIDN'T WORK!!!!!!!

34% Yes. The clips of liberal Hollywood stars hurling hateful rhetoric at Sarah Palin in the new documentary about her is a perfect example. Liberals turn on anyone who dares challenge their views. (182 responses)

6% No. A few outspoken Hollywood stars shouldn't be taken as a representative sample of progressives, who as a group are much more accepting of other viewpoints than conservatives are. (33 responses)

44% Yes. Liberals who complain about harsh criticism of Barack Obama hope Americans will forget how much more vicious left-wingers were toward George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and how ruthless they are now toward any strong leader on the right, like Palin or Bachmann. (233 responses)

16% No. All you have to do is listen to talk radio hosts like Limbaugh and Savage to realize there is plenty of hate among conservatives, too. (87 responses)

535 total responses

So the total is 74% yes (415)/22% no (120).

Even the 'no' options are so classically liberal:
1) No, cause we're not as mean as the conservatives are! and
2) No, cause they have haters on their side, too!
You can't talk to a lib about Obama without hearing about Bush. And apparently they can't answer a yes or no answer without pointing a finger at others.
Is there a write-in option for childish as well?

Thanks to AllTheBest for da ping! I could think of many answers to complete that sentence about libs.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.
