What I DID say was that I don't know any that used vile, ugly, cursing type of language toward any liberal. Yes, each side slams the other side at times and yes, they poke fun or mock the other side's comments, but tell me when Limbaugh, Coulter, (both 'sewer mouths' to you), Fox News or even Dennis Miller has came out and called ANY liberal any name filled with curse words or vile "I want you to die" type of talk? It's liberals like you that always try and compare someone like Miller calling someone an idiot to Maher (a true sewer mouth) calling someone a "racist fat fuck"!<br />But thanks for taking the time to read my post and for being concerned enough to wonder if I just immigrated here, although you didn't say if you thought I would have done it legally. <br />Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036251923499563355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576863195190582789.post-53589124034701347912012-10-18T12:24:14.193-07:002012-10-18T12:24:14.193-07:00Thanks for taking the time to express your opinion...Thanks for taking the time to express your opinion. Everything I wrote is also my opinion. Writing about how Bill Maher constantly vents his obvious disgust toward conservatives and how he will actually call people hateful names and curse words, is not yelling, or fighting or calling him any names.The same goes for Andrea Mitchell. If you think she doesn't lean far to the left in her reports then what can I say to change your mind? And just because I don't agree with their views doesn't mean that I think all liberals are hateful. I plainly said that "a large number of them" have those feelings. I have seen plenty of liberals that can have a discussion about politics and conservatives and not speak with venom or hatred. But most of those are not public figures expressing their opinions on national TV.<br />On the points you detailed: <br />1 & 2) How can someone calling Obama lazy be a racist stereotype? Because of the color of his skin, his race? You are assuming that everyone who is not black and says they believe a certain black person is lazy means they are being grouped that way as a whole race. Ridiculous. If that same person said that a white person, an Asian or a Mexican were lazy then that would be OK. Do you actually believe that there aren't ANY lazy people that happen to be black? None? There are lazy people of every race, creed and color. But you can never call a specific black individual lazy because you're invoking a racial stereotype? That is beyond ridiculous. <br />Especially in this case where Obama called himself lazy. And you somehow KNOW that he was not serious. Because of his educational background? Yes, he said "There is a deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there’s a laziness in me." Yes, he does 'work' and I'm sure he works very hard. But he said his laziness was his worst trait. He went on to say, "It’s probably from, you know, growing up in Hawaii, and it’s sunny outside and sitting on the beach." The whole point wasn't that he is so lazy that he can't get off the couch and walk to the refrigerator, but rather, by someone else saying they thought he was lazy meant they were being racist. <br />3 & 4) I never said that there weren't hateful conservatives. I said, "You rarely hear any right-winger calling people racist, using ugly, vile personal comments about someone supporting liberals. Not to say there isn't conservative idiots out there." I'm referring to public figures like Maher. Sure some far-right-winger can hate someone that doesn't agree with them but show me one that publicly calls them hateful names using vile, cursing language, like Bill Maher or Roseanne or numerous other 'celebrities'. Sure there are plenty of anonymous bloggers and people that comment on the internet and say hateful things about liberals. People will do the same if they don't like the same car as you do. <br />5) I can't find where I used "the democrat party" instead of "the democratIC party". But I did notice your incorrect grammar in, "the names[plural] of the other major political party[singular]".<br />Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036251923499563355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576863195190582789.post-54904726914219022162012-10-18T09:15:01.258-07:002012-10-18T09:15:01.258-07:00Just writing a whole post about how Bill Maher is ...Just writing a whole post about how Bill Maher is a jerk and you think Andrea Mitchell has a liberal bias does nothing to support your argument that liberals as a group are hateful people. In fact, by having a whole blog about how liberals have destroyed America you're not really helping "quit name calling. quit yelling. quit fighting". Really you're just enjoying bashing liberals and claiming the moral high ground because of it.<br /><br />anyway...<br /><br />1) unless you've been living under a rock yes calling obama lazy is invoking a racial stereotype.<br /><br />2) obama was not seriously saying he was a lazy person. he said "...underneath all the work that I do" before going on with a little self-deprecation. do you seriously think that a columbia and harvard law grad who was president of the law review and worked his way to commander-in-chief is lazy? that's ridiculous.<br /><br />3) you claim conservatives are not hateful. again, totally detached from reality. conservatives hate obama and the democrats (your own blog title implies liberals are un-american) and have made no effort to hide their hate and the extent of it. conservatives' whole MO since 2008 has been to denigrate obama and make him seem un-american. whether it's claiming he's socialist, lying about his birth certificate, lying about his religion, or claiming he's bringing about the destruction of freedom, conservatives have got it covered when it comes to vitriol and hatred.<br /><br />4) stacy dash insulted by some liberals on twitter != liberals overall being hateful. if you want to play that game, we could go look at the comments on any foxnews article about obama and his family. or freerepublic, or any other conservative outlet for that matter.<br /><br />5) it's the democratIC party, not the democrat party. if you were so interested in healing america you would at least bother to learn the names of the other major political party.jatkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14576224373432279373noreply@blogger.com
