Really vile stuff.

Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie They wear the Hitler Youth outfits under the white robes and hoods. It's kinds hot. That's probably why they are so angry.

There's another point to be made. These comments come from some internet board similar to this one. The difference is the tone and tenor of the participants. This board is fortunate to have mostly reasonable people. It's also moderated by other reasonable people. But anybody can say anything they want on the internet, and that kind of anonymous freedom brings out the worst in some. Roadtrip has linked to a discussion board centered on Branson MO that has loads of scorched earth right wing ignorance. It's not hard to find. There's multitudes of ignorant and hateful people out there, and most of them consider themselves to be some combination of conservative, christian, and/or republican.
Originally Posted By Mr X ***So basically, you are taking some way far out there conservatives, and using them to show what the "average" conservative thinks...*** The point is that the site in question (FreeRepublic), one of the foremost right wing political sites online, didn't remove the comments but rather appeared to support it. This is going to be news tonight, William. It's not a "fringe" thing. ***I could easily do the same with the far left liberals.... There are wacko's on both sides of the fence....*** Okay, let's see it.

You know, the whole "everyone does it" mantra becomes more and more reprehensible the worse these people get. It's not an "equal footing" thing anymore, why not just give up on the spin and admit that what's going on is vile and hurtful to all Americans and those people should STOP IT.
Originally Posted By WilliamK99 I can't find the links but there were calls on some liberal websites a few years ago to kill some high level Republicans.... There are loons on both sides, I am in no way endorsing what anyone said, but the fact you choose to highlight this, but ignore what was said about the Bush twins, Sara Palin's daughter etc, shows how biased you and most on this site truly are.

Originally Posted By Mr X ***There are loons on both sides*** Again you are missing the point. It's not the loons, it's the implicit endorsement of said loons by the Republican establishment that is the problem here. As you can read at the link, it has become commonplace and acceptable for a large segment of Americans to refer to our President as comparable to a terrorist mastermind who killed 3,000 Americans, without batting an eye. Noone speaks up, noone says "let's be reasonable". If that's okay with you, then I don't know what to tell ya. ***I am in no way endorsing what anyone said*** Good to hear. ***but the fact you choose to highlight this, but ignore what was said about the Bush twins, Sara Palin's daughter etc, shows how biased you and most on this site truly are.*** Ridiculous. The Palin thing was discussed ad nauseum here. As for Bush's daughters, I don't recall reading any inflammatory stuff though I've no doubt it's out there. And let's not forget when Shuster of MSNBC made that "pimp" remark about Chelsea Clinton the entire NETWORK was beside itself appologizing, and the offending journalist was suspended for a period of time. It's an accountability thing. The right wing has none, and are seemingly quite proud of it. The spin makes you dizzy these days, it's so fast and furious. And sickening. And again, if to you that's just "loons on both sides", I think you are either naively or purposefully ignoring what is right before your eyes.

Originally Posted By gadzuux This particular loon was just elected president of the "Young Republicans" group at their national convention this week, garnering over 400 votes.

She's a "true conservative" alright. According to the link above, the reason she won out over her more moderate competitor was because of an email campaign alleging that the opponent supported civil unions. Clearly there's a wide schizm in the republican party right now, and the momentum is with the troglodyte wing. I wish them all the luck in the world as they march themselves into complete and total irrelevancy as an aging, mostly white, most southern, mostly ignorant party. It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
