That's an observation that I really can't argue for or against. The only thing I can say is that as a liberal I've observed much more conservative assholeness. I'll be the first to point out, though, that it's more than likely that it's because that's the side that would send its hostility in my direction. A lot easier to see it when it's coming at you than when it's going the other way.
My frustration comes from the fact that on my street (96th Ave W in Edmonds WA) There are 6 houses in 3 blocks with Kerry signs, all of them unmolested, one house put up a Bush sign and was proptlly vadalised. Even before that happened my wife wouldn't let me put a Bush sticker on our Mini, because she was afraid it would get vandalised, turns out she was probobly right. i even argued at the time that no one would damage our car just because it had a Bush sticker... boy is there egg on my face. Keep in mid that unlike Seattle itself Edmonds isn't even primarily Democrat, it's about 50-50 perhaps even leaning conservitive.

Acctually it was less in jest and more a halenge in the Socratic tradition.

Not in the sense that I'm speaking about. Asking if all black people are stupid can be just as offensive as stating it. If you don't believe me, ask that question to one hundred black people and get back to me with your results.
You'd be surprised what I've asked people and gotten very reasonable answers. I usually have really good conversations with liberals, however I haven't really stuck up many conversations with strangers in the past many months. The rhetoric has gotten so hostile I've just been leaving it alone.
but I guess thier just fed up with the administration.
