1. He must have said something wrong.
Just wait until the next time Colbert says something against Kerry or Gore, the purity mobs will have lit torches.....

5. He is Catholic,
and if I were to go back into the archives I could probably come up with something about Catholics all being evil boy rapists.

4. Because he didn't agree with them about Colbert
He said that what he did maybe was inappropriate, and people here now think that he is a RW asshole. When I saw that I knew that I could come on the board and find at least 1 post like WTF is his problem and stuff like that. I have been saying the same thing Ava, people do need to chill out. Not everything can be politics all the time, you live your life like that and you will want to kill yourself after a while because you are so tautly wound all the damn time.

11. Free thinking is punishable you know.
These are probably the same people who didn't vote for Senator Kerry because he wasn't pure enough. Yet would Senator Kerry have put Sam Alito on the bench. I guess some people want to purify the planet so badly that the rest of us can't grow in it.

7. Because they adopt a "with us or against us" view of politics...
Edited on Mon May-01-06 09:47 PM by primate1
A lot of people here don't even seem to realize that there are many, many varying views even within a single political ideology, and many don't seem to realize that there are political ideologies outside of liberalism and conservatism. Therefore, if you say something that someoe else as a liberal disagrees with, you become public enemy number one.

In sum, people are idiots.

8. I'd hate to be GD's boyfriend
Some of those people are fickle as all hell.

"Did you hear what KO said?" :thumbsup:

"Did you hear what KO said?" :thumbsup:

"Did you hear what KO said?" :thumbsup:

"DID YOU HEAR WHAT KO SAID??" :grr:



Happens to all liberal icons sooner or later. Let us rejoice that it's been happening a lot more to NeoiCons. :bounce:

10. I dont know
