osmoticdespair:


they're in the internet majority, and because they tend to be the more "socially" oriented than conservatives.  

Paradox? :P


Not really, I mean on forums and stuff, democrats TEND to have the kind of personality that makes them use the internet for networking, forums, facebook etc, where conservatives tend more toward having webpages, blogs and using it to look for ideas not people. This is just a tendency though. And sheer conjecture based on personal observation.

Out of curiosity, what is the intended purpose of this thread, FA?

I think it's obvious. To demonstrate that contrary to popular perception, Democrats their ilk are just as intolerant of dissident viewpoints as those big bad mean Republicans are.


Pretty much.

These are teenagers, good god.

I know what you're implying by this too, that Obama supporters are intolerant and shit. Well I wore my Obama shirt to school on election day and I live in a very CONSERVATIVE town and got harassed the whole day.

I am also 14, except I'm in high school not junior high.

I'm surprised you neo-cons didn't kill yourselves after the anti-Christ was elected.  

 I'm a little disappointed, actually.

What is the reason for "2 years old"? Reading some of the other responses, I'd have to say some here are simply making excuses.

And rather than find the story a humorous or sad commentary, they attack me for posting it. That's kind of sad in itself.

Does it not tell you a lot about the intellectual level and bias of those who excuse the attitude because of the age of the participants (ignoring the fact that there were teachers that responded similarly)?

I'm not implying anything. I just posted a news story.

Why waste our time? We all know that ignorance is abundant in all political parties. Why waste bandwidth just to push your agenda.

Should I create a topic just to post a new story like this?:

Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars."
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iEyLuiVkdd-f1RM5wnoR0kF4WbvgD94FHP480

No, because it's not necessary.

However, attempting to state that Democrats are somehow nastier than Republicans is just absurd. Which campaign made absurd accusations about the opposing candidate's family, social life, religion, name and it's subsequent meaning, birthplace, and elementary education history?

Come on. Republicans have a HISTORY for denigrating whoever they are running against, whether it be a Democrat or a fellow Republican (see Bush vs. McCain in the 2000 primaries). You are too young to remember, and your parents/church is too biased to tell you, but John McCain once was a man of decency, running against a man who ran one of the most despicable campaigns of the last century (Bushy). See the 2004 election, where Republicans slammed Kerry on his service to his country, that he only won three purple hearts instead of four, even though George Bush never served and dodged the draft himself. It's despicable really, and even more disgraceful that you refuse to admit that your party has ever committed any wrongdoing. Please, get your head out of your ass.

She truly believes he is the anti-Christ; she said something along those lines in a message to me, that he would somehow bring the end to America. It's astounding, really. How much Hannity and Colmes can one watch?!
