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

I'm a little disappointed, actually.


I doubt you know the difference between a neo-con and a neo-lib. And, btw, I'm neither.

You get that from all sides. Hell, the College Republicans (a club on my campus) were downright cruel to people who didn't agree with them. It got as far as vandalization, and campus security and a few county sheriffs had to get involved.

She sounds like someone from the College Republicans on my campus. And that's not a compliment, either.

Keep in mind these are probably largely 14 year old girls, a demographic where cliques and bitchiness hold a lot of sway.

A news-worthy item might have been a case-controlled double-blind test involving pyschologically analysing 2 groups (Obama voters and McCain voters) that showed there was a statistically significant difference between their scores in a tolerance test.

I don't doubt this is pretty prevelant in America, but to suggest this article is actually interesting is pointless mud-slinging we could only expect from before the election.


This, too. These kids likely would've done something similar if she wore the wrong color Hannah Montana shirt.

Yes, FA, conservatives (and racists) can also react negatively to an election. It's not just the 'liberal black faggots' that respond poorly.

Yes every side does this. No that doesn't justify it when either side does it.

What is the deal with the whole "they're doing it" excuse? Does that mean since some murderers go unpunished if someone on "my side" murders someone its all cool?

They do?! Because from what I keep hearing, Democrats are little angels, and Republicans are a bunch of slobbering racists who smear innocent liberals every chance they can get.

Hell, it's commonly accepted knowledge, even here in Australia, that Republicans tend to 'fight dirty' during campaigning, while Democrats are the golden hearted victims who seek only to promote tolerance and peace, and would never put a foot wrong.

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.

That's not news to me. The vast majority of censorship I have experienced on internet forums has been at the hands of liberals and left wingers. Ironically, one of the main culprits had the quote:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." in his signature.

That's what you get for hanging about on Sci-Forums.
You should hang out on conservative blogs, then you'd get the opposite side.

Sci-forums is supposed to be politically neutral. After all, it's a science forum, not Democrats Underground.

But I frequent more than just Sciforums, and on every forum I've went to the same old tired stereotypes keep popping up.

Fucking liberals, parading about as if their shit don't stink!

Again, conservative blogs avoid such personalities (except the occasional outnumbered troll). The reason you see it more with democrats is because they're in the internet majority, and because they tend to be the more "socially" oriented than conservatives.
