everyone on DU is a huge bigot |
|
I mean seriously. Let's look at how bigoted we all are.
First of all we must all hate WASPs, as proven by the immense hatred of Bush here.
And we all are obviously misogynists (I guess the women are self loathing), which is proven by what is said about Ann Coulter here.
And of course almost everyone on DU has said some nasty things about Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice or Colin Powell before, so almost everyone is a racist.
And the fact that Drudge isn't too popular proves we're all homophobes (quite a few self loathing gays here then but oh well...)
And of course, DUers are extremely anti-semetic, as is proven by the extreme dislike of Lieberman.
Only one of the following statements has been seriously claimed here. Does this put things into perspective?

All of those statements make precisely the same amount of sense.

say 'everyone' but there does seem to be a rise in intolerance. I don't mind the hyperbole thrown at Right Wingers but the lack of respect for the opinions of other DUers (we're supposedly all on the same side here) is disturbing.
The hate Dean threads. The hate Kerry threads. The hate Clark threads.
This stuff has the makings of a Republicans wet dream. Divide and conquer the liberals. Honest debaate about the issues is one thing. Calling someone a dimwit because of their support for another candidate is petty.
So let's not accuse 'everyone" of bigotry because that just adds fuel to the fire. It would be nice, though, if we could be a bit more civil to one another. We are all supposedly on the same side.

Just because someone is black, or gay, or a woman, it doesn't make them exempt from being an asshole. RIght?
If I say "Colin Powell is a prick" it's not the same as saying "Colin Powell's a prick because he's black."
on eidt I hate wasps cause they sting

Many, many people here have expressed great concern over some of the sexist language directed at Coulter. Many women posters and not a few men have expressed displeasure at the use of terms like slut, whore, and rape fantasies being directed at her.

17. I don't know what this is about |
|
but it sounds like defensiveness about being criticized for some kind of remark that someone took offense to.
I think it's a mistake to react that way. Much better to listen to what the person has to say and think about it.

This must mean that they hate Muslims as well. anti-antipro-shrub, anti-disabled, anti-sanity, anti-Dean, anti-antigun, proanti-antiZell Miller, proanti-anti-anti-recall, anti-anti-proDINO, anti-proanti-American, and pro-semianti-unpatriotic.
not antipro-good stuff, proanti-probad-antiantigood, semi-proantigrey area in terms of controversy.
