Sorry Doug, but if you make a claim you have to support it. Period. If you don't, you're just as full of horse manure as you think every liberal is. The rules of debate apply equally to both sides and you've been making up your own rules for far too long. Nobody is asking you to do anymore than anyone else here. Do the right thing.

You know, it's perfectly okay to say you'll do it on a trial basis and then gauge the reaction. But by refusing you're just giving fuel to the fire that always seems to burn around you.

But we haven't. I stated time after time that anti-Semitism can be found left, right, and center. BUT, if we're talking about organized anti-Semitic groups, they do tend to be right wing. That's all I said. Normally I provide plenty of evidence/links etc (not that DD cares) but in this case it's actually against LP community standards to provide links to hate groups. But if you go to the major organized anti-Semitic group sites (and if you do, DISABLE your cookies!), once you get past the anti-Semitic, racist, and homophobic rhetoric, check out the rest of it... the anti-government rhetoric, the anti-Obama rhetoric, the rants about the Fed, about immigration, about "welfare queens," about food stamps, about FEMA camps... you would never mistake it for left-wing rhetoric. They sound like slightly more unhinged, even-further-to-the-right tea partiers... because that's what they are.
