Why are right-wingers so damn angry all the time?

[SensibleCenterist]

Their guys control the White House.

Their guys control congress.

99% of their guys get their Judicial appointments approved, and they go berserk at how unfair it is.

Their guys control all of cable news punditry.

If there are 99-1 articles in the MSM that are favorable to Bush, they froth at that 1%.

The military votes for Republicans no matter how stupid or abusive or wasteful they are to the military.

Outright traitors like Novak and the clowns that fed him walk around with zero repercussions over their actions just because they are on their side.

They're out to destroy PBS, even though their taxpayer-financed-but-secret studies find no report of liberal bias.

And you talk to any of them about it and they are all MAD AS HELL and it is all the "librulz" fault. Librulz are evil and they know it because Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage told them so.

Oh, and librulz are all full of hate and anger. Did you know?

What gives?

[BrklynLiberal]

1. They have to look in the mirror every morning..

[Avalux]

2. Greed

The are consumed by greed and will never be happy; they'll never stop. They are also bullies, so they can dish it out but can't take it. Cricism of the high and mighty is a no no! Whhhhhaaaaaaaa! :cry: Crybabies.

[baldguy]

3. They weren't breast-fed as children.

[longship]

4. They are...

Evil!

[USAcitizen]

5. BECAUSE

Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage make lots of money spewing "hate the librulz" rhetoric to the dumb right wing sheep.

[TheFarseer]

13. What I don't get about Michael Savage

He doesn't agree with the liberal aganda(clearly) He doesn't agree with the neo-conservative agenda, he gets really agitated about this pretty frequesntly. Why did he waste his time writting his THIRD book about why liberals are Satan's spawn and not write one on why neo-cons are bad? How many more ways can he re-phrase, "I don't like liberals"? Rush and Hanitty are partisan hacks. Michael Savage is a deeply disturbed individual.

[Conservativesux]

18. Savage is a used car salesman that will say anything to get you

to listen to his show or buy his books. He is nothing but a fraud, and a lunatic.

Back in the day he was very liberal person, but when UC Berkley wouldnt hire him on as a professor, he became the right-wing nutbag that he is today, claiming that A/A had discriminated against him.

His neighbors, living near him in his Marin County home are deathly afraid of him, as his has threatned them and has bragged on his show that he owns at least one assault-weapon.

When his MSNBC show failed after he told a caller to "Get AIDS and die" he really went off the deep end, even going well past his famous words on the radio when he said he hoped the the High School girls of Bramsom High in San Jose, who where feeding the homeless at the time, got "raped in a dumpster".

Why this person is allow to spread his brand of hatred for the "left" and homophobia over the air-waves for ten years here
near the SF Bay Area, I have often pondered on.

[Canuckistanian]

23. Savage is particularly psycho because

The Number-One threat to the American way of life is liberals. Not any psuedo-powerful Islamic army or Red Chinese (although he says they're bad, too).
It's true what they say about these nutcases. They're always looking under their own beds to try to find whatever's threatening them. It happened during the "Red Scare" of the thirties and the McCarthy-era witch-hunts.
"Subversion" is happening all around them.

And they'll use Paris Hilton as an example.

[TheFarseer]

27. Liberals are the #1 enemy because they are

going to let the terrorists get us. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, Michael, wouldn't that make the terrorists the #1 enemy? Interesting take on that situation, I'd say

[bluedonkey]

25. Michael Alan Weiner

Is Michael Savage's real name!
Can you imagine how hw got teased in school?What can WE do with that?
I feel an urge to call him and say:"Come on Mike,don't be such a wiener!Tell us what you really think!"

Hate sells! He needs to be noticed.Combine the two and you have Mr Weiner,the perfect rightwing, nutjob radio host.I'm waiting for him to have a coronay on the air.

Read this short bio.

6. ALWAYS hopping mad about something.

Turn on the TV and there is some pudgy-wudgy pasty white man shouting about something or the other.

[PDittie]

7. Hate is all they have

to motivate themselves.

Seriously.

[norml]

8. Because Hate & Fear vrs. Love & Trust is part of their ideology.

Sure, there are times and places for Hate & Fear, but not all the time.

[mpendragon]

15. it's a question of how to appeal to people

There are two basic ways to appeal to people with ideas. You can appeal to their baser instincts or their ideals.

The right keeps pushing the "you are under attack" method of rallying support. They scare their supporters with boogeymen like liberated women with control over their lives, minorities in your neighborhood, other religions that seem a little strange, gays (they'd call them perverts), and foreigners. Fear is a strong weapon. It fosters hatred and ignorance. They are cowards but they are not born cowards; they become cowards.

The left more often appeals to people's ideals of protecting the weakest among us and fostering the growth of our society and the wellbeing of our neighbors. This is a lofty goal but progress is made through lofty goals and hope.

[NoodleBoy]

9. without their hateful little culture war, they have no ideology

there are a million words for it: reactionary, backlash, regressive, but they all depend on waging "war" on their fellow americans.

An easy way to deflect alot of their hate is to just tell them the truth: THERE IS NO CULTURE WAR.

[OneTwentyoNine]

10. Simple...they have an idiot for a leader......n/t

[Canuckistanian]

11. They THRIVE on anger

They feed on it, they worship it. If they don't have anyone to be angry at, their worldview falls apart. They NEED their boogeymen.

Remember Noriega? Khaddafi? The Somali Warlords? Jaques Chirac?
They were all, at one time or another, "The Scourge of Western Civilization" Where are they all now?

Now, with Saddam locked up, Osama all but forgotten and the Zarqawi "brand" not fully absorbed yet, the conservative ire turns inward.

Yes, that's right, folks, liberals! They're the next foe to be vanquished, the proprietors of all things destructive, led by the evil temptress Hillary and her right-hand man, Howard Dean.

But now, the "GIANT MSM HEAD" is slowly, almost imperceptibly turning around to look INTO the White House, not just at what the White House is pointing to.

And about bloody time, too.

[dchill]

21. Agreed.

Trying to blame Newsweek for riots in Afghanistan was probably their biggest strategic blunder since the Iraq invasion.

"Solving Social Security" would be a close second.

[Pushed To The Left]

24. The ACLU is one of their current boogeymen

Bill O'Reilly acts like they are the biggest threat that America has ever faced! The more the right wing puts down the ACLU, the more I like them! I didn't used to like them very much (I was wrong about them), but I am now a monthly donor!

[TheFarseer]

12. It's part of the act

Everyone else is stupid, and they're the only ones that are smart and they're so sick of it!

[Vickers]

14. Near-constant masturbation.

It just brings out the asshole in folks.

[crikkett]

19. no, it doesn't.

:eyes:

[Vickers]

29. Occasional, even daily, masturbation is OK

Sorry if I hit a nerve. :eyes:

[four more wars]

31. I'd suggest it's more likely to be the complete opposite

some rabid god-bothering wingnut has told them that they'll go to hell if they practice a perfectly natural impulse.

So instead they resort to fucking goats on the farm, cos that's perfectly natural............

[tavalon]

43. I'm with you on that one

They're so repressed, they're seething.

[Contrary1]

16. Because they know they are wrong...

and it eats at them because they can never admit it.

[La Coliniere]

17. If they ever let their guard down...

If for one minute they stop the screaming, stop the bullying, stop the complaining, stop the spinning, stop the flag waving and cross clutching, stop the never ending bitching that they're victims - the game is over for them. They are discovered. They are exposed. They are terrified that someone may discover that the flimsy ground they stand on is the foundation for the insecure house of cards that contains their greed, hatred, and deceit.

[Triana]

20. pretentious hypocrisy..

...and zealotous self-righteousness takes a lot of delusion, posturing, and hatred to maintain. If I had to keep up that facade, if I had to have that pack-dog mentality, I'd be angry too. These guys (mostly white, "Christian" men) are angry white male control freaks.

They have to control *everything* (including YOU, your husband/wife/family, and your kids, and all the personal information about you, your husband/wife/family, and your kids) or they're just not happy. They want to tell you how you can have sex, when, who with, and how - and why, and what you may or may not do with the results of said sexual liason - and why. They want to tell you who to marry, and why.

It's just the burden they bear and it's just how they are. Humorless, angry, dogmatic, control-freak, twats. The American Taliban. I don't get the impression the Taliban are a very happy bunch either and for many of the same reasons.

[progressoid]

22. "taxpayer-financed-but-secret studies" about PBS

Are there links anywhere to this? I just had a 'conversation' with a Rush dittohead about this. Would like some more ammo...

[SensibleCenterist]

49. Check mediamatters.org

Try here: Hands Off

[Chauga]

26. Anyone who believes the crap on Rush or Fox can't help but be full of hate

[unblock]

28. anger (shakes head) the way of the DARK side, it is, mmmm

[bleever]

42. LOL. Bingo. n/t

[ailsagirl]

30. Because they are pursuing all the wrong things... they're greedy,

power-hungry, cruel, and morally corrupt. They probably thought once they controlled everything that they'd be happy. They aren't. Their ugly innards prevent them from ever being happy.

And they don't believe in the things that engender happiness: love, giving, faith, charity...

And finally, you reap what you sow.

[iconoclastic cat]

32. Micropenis.

[snowbear]

33. Rightwingers rarely have sex.

Therefore, they're bitter all the time.

[NoFederales]

35. Jeeeeeeeezus!

Don't let children see this face.

NoFederales

[Pystoff]

34. My theory is...

Pug's don't get any "Clinton" kind of sex (BJ's). They can't get any kinky sex it'd either be against their religion or their stuffy uptight wives won't give it up. Or they desperately need viagra just to get wood occationally and are now even more pissed because it makes you go blind.

:evilgrin:

[Lecky]

37. nah

They do, they just hide it and call democrats out on their same hypocritical bullshit.

[snowbear]

39. Yo Lecky...

Uh..

:think:

... you're wrong.

They don't have sex and they're ugly to boot.

[Lecky]

36. b/c I honestly think that...

in their cold shriveled hearts they think that liberals want to destroy their country, they have been programmed to believe so.

They think they are fighting the good fight just as much as we do.

There are lots of nice republicans that aren't crazy but it's hard to hear them over these fascist fucks.

[I Have A Dream]

56. Hi, Lecky -- Welcome! I'm new here also...

I agree with your point. Many Republicans are good people who really think that we're absolutely, utterly wrong and that we'll ultimately destroy this country if we succeed because of all of the brainwashing that they receive through their fundamentalist religious indoctrinations every Sunday morning or through the right-wing media.

I work with many, many people like this. When they tell me that they're Republicans, I'm just flabbergasted because they really are people that I like. However, they are die-hard Republicans who think that their side is on the side of the light and that "liberals" are evil.

[struggle4progress]

38. These folk are empty little nothings. In a different age, they'd ..

.. be out screaming to burn somebody alive as a witch, or screaming that only a nice grisly lynching can protect us all, or claiming Germany lost the war because of those people with a different religion next door.

[tavalon]

40. They're stupid

and easily led.

[snowbear]

41. And they smell bad..

(hey, while quit while we're creating such a great list? ;) )

[dave123williams]

44. Tiny, tiny cocks. It's got to be frustrating.

[snowbear]

46. Do they ever get their Oxycontin & Viagra mixed up?

:shrug:

And if so.. wonder what happens? Then again.. they probably wouldn't know the difference.

[Spectral]

45. Talk show hosts are mad because it gets them ratings

Talk show listeners are mad because they listen to talk show hosts while they are stuck in traffic. If you can't move on the highway, you can yell at the "librulz".

Most of us are angry right now because the economy is so bad and because our standard of living is going way down. We are too busy and overworked. We live too far away from our jobs and spend too much time in traffic.

It's one big circle.

[FreedomAngel82]

47. They want to control us all

and make us all just like them. Until they do that they're going to stay angry. :shrug: Beats me. Check out my journal if you want. I wrote about that there (about why they're so angry). ;)

[Rageneau]

48. They are pod-people from the planet Aggressor, intent on destroying us.

And I'm only half kidding.

[Submariner]

50. The republicans have LOST two wars (Iraq & Afghanland),

their trickle down economics scheme has been a disaster to the nation, and most all their political initiatives have been abysmal failures for the constituents. They keep yelling just to try mask their corruption and divert attention away. And they don't like being called the yellow-belly chickenhawk cowards that they are.

[area51]

51. nazis

Why are nazis so angry all the time?

They're constipated. :evilgrin:

[Rainscents]

54. Maybe they need enema??? Do you think,this might help release their anger?

[U4ikLefty]

52. Anger is their fuel.

Fear, entitlement & anger.

[Daphne08]

53. No Sex.

They're 'scairt' of it. :rofl:

[meti57b]

55. They're mad because we don't love their boy, bushie-tush.

[kodi]

57. its because they are a bunch of bullying assholes

who need a good punch in the nose.
