And don't bitch and moan about the bad stuff said about conservatives or say the conservatives on this board never bash liberals when you start threads like this. "Are all liberals ass holes?" lends itself toward a very big generalization, a very negative one at that. This ain't Jeopardy, and putting it in the form of a question doesn't make a difference. And neither does calling it tongue-in-cheek. I could call every comment made about conservatives tongue-in-cheek.
There are assholes on both sides of the fence, but as I mentioned in an earlier post it's been my observation that one side is CLEARLY more hostile than the other and getting upsett because a generalisation is made doesn't make the generalisation untrue. You may be offended by my pointing out acts of hostility towards conservitives, but I've experienced it first hand. I'm in now way a victim, but I don't like the overt hostility directed towards me and people who share my politics. I'll say that MOST liberals aren't assholes, but they do seem to look the other way durring this capaign. Even you, who I consider to be one of the most reasonable posters on this board (liberal OR conservitive) seem more offended that I mentioned a Kerry supporter bullied a child than you are over the acctual act. And there IS a huge difference between asking a question and making a statement. That distiction isn't exclusive to Jeapordy. If anything it's an invitation to distance the cause from the offence, but that's onot what happened. Instead I got.... "there are conservitive assholes too." well I haven't heard about any bullying kids.
