The Anger Of The Left

[Le Jacquelope]

I got your threat hanging. Why don't you go and threaten the mirror until mom comes home? Ahahaha.

You like to laugh at your own jokes, don't you? Go look in the mirror for a real gutbuster.

 

[Ishmael]

I have NO potential friends LT. It's all a test and I learned that long before you arrived.

Condsidering that the ONLY person I've IM'd with in the past few months is loveumore, that kind of narrows it down doesn't it? It also narrows down your envolvment too.

All it takes is the right bait LT. Sometimes you just have to sit back and watch for a while.

You really are a lame little shit.

Ishmael

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Ishmael, look, please

STOP!!!

I can't breathe. I can't even see straight for all the tears.

You're literally going to make me laugh myself to death at the way you're getting your out-to-get-LT ass kicked by multiple people and then also rejected by women tonight.

How's things in the nations capital brother ltgr?

Oh, I love Pellosis' latest ploy. How is that goiung to play in Paducah?

Ishmael

Sorry I missed y'all last night. I had to get some sleep.

Things are nice here in the capital. The temperature's mild and things are relatively quiet. Pellosi will continue to cause herself problems until she finishes herself.

Is there anger on the left today?

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Is there anger on the left today?

How many people have angry liberals killed in the US?

I can list a buncha abortion doctors, plus about 160+ FBI workers and kids, all killed by angry right wingers.

That must be one in your sig line.

 

[JamesSD]

Is there anger on the left today?

Sure. There's anger about the quagmire that is Iraq. We're angry about the erosion of civil liberties and the blurring of the line between church and state. We're angry about global warming denial. We're angry about Katrina and the (somewhat bipartisan) slow response and lack of prevention.

The good news is that "sit back, do nothing and watch the Republican party implode" worked in 2006, and will work again in 2008. But there's an awfully big mess to clean up.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

The Anger, intolerance and hatred from the Right.

 

[Byron In Exile]

The Anger, intolerance and hatred from the Right.

That was "right-wing" anger, intolerance, and hatred over three years ago.

Look where it has led the "right-wing."

Decide if intolerance, anger, and hatred are the right way for the future, because that is what you've been projecting.

"Not whether you hate, but whom you hate" seems to be your motto.

The U.S. didn't exactly respond to the Nazis with love, kisses and flowers, either.

I do respect a select few right wingers on here because of their intelligence, civility and tolerance for different opinions. Lavared opposes me almost all the time and she runs intellectual circles around Ishmael, Vetteman and busybody, practically at near relativistic speeds no less, and I haven't tried to slam her.

I don't respect or show civility to right wingers who sling "nigger" when they're losing a debate. Nor will most Americans in general.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Winning? No, I hurled it as a personal insult. It was a provocation. Didn't have a damn thing to do with winning anything LT. It wasn't like, "Word nigger." It was more like, "You're a nigger." You know, in your face, growling tones. Shit like that LT. It wasn't part of a game little boy. It was serious, deadly serious.

Ishmael

Bump Ishmael's racist meltdown for Cherry ... so, ya gonna say this didn't happen?

 

[RightField]

Are they still angry? Sounds like Hillary is angry with Obama, but she's often angry.

Rush Limbaugh is still spewing anger and hate on the radio.

Rush Limbaugh is still spewing anger and hate on the radio.

Dude, what have you done with Ishtard? Ever since he reported you to the FBI he seems to have gone AWOL.

His balls fell off and ran away.

 

[hogjack]

Rush Limbaugh.

The leader of the Immoral Authority.

 

[RightField]

Rush Limbaugh is still spewing anger and hate on the radio.

Rush Limbaugh is promoting Rush Limbaugh on the radio. That's all I can figure out.

 

[JamesSD]

Rush Limbaugh is promoting Rush Limbaugh on the radio. That's all I can figure out.

Well put. Just like Ann Coulter promotes Ann Coulter's books, Bill "The Liar" O'Reiley promotes Bill O'Reiley's Nightly Old Fossil Hour, and Sean "Anger Management Issues" Hannity promotes himself.

Rush Limbaugh is promoting Rush Limbaugh on the radio. That's all I can figure out.

And OH, the anger he projects!!!!!!!

Another gem from Dr. Sowell;

The Anger Of The Left
By Thomas Sowell
Tuesday, May 15, 2007

That people on the political left have a certain set of opinions, just as people do in other parts of the ideological spectrum, is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is how often the opinions of those on the left are accompanied by hostility and even hatred.

Particular issues can arouse passions here and there for anyone with any political views. But, for many on the left, indignation is not a sometime thing. It is a way of life.

How often have you seen conservatives or libertarians take to the streets, shouting angry slogans? How often have conservative students on campus shouted down a visiting speaker or rioted to prevent the visitor from speaking at all?

The source of the anger of liberals, "progressives" or radicals is by no means readily apparent. The targets of their anger have included people who are non-confrontational or even genial, such as Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

It is hard to think of a time when Karl Rove or Dick Cheney has even raised his voice but they are hated like the devil incarnate.

There doesn't even have to be any identifiable individual to arouse the ire of the left. "Tax cuts for the rich" is more than a political slogan. It is incitement to anger.

All sorts of people can have all sorts of beliefs about what tax rates are best from various points of view. But how can people work themselves into a lather over the fact that some taxpayers are able to keep more of the money they earned, instead of turning it over to politicians to dispense in ways calculated to get themselves re-elected?

The angry left has no time to spend even considering the argument that what they call "tax cuts for the rich" are in fact tax cuts for the economy.

Nor is the idea new that tax cuts can sometimes spur economic growth, resulting in more jobs for workers and higher earnings for business, leading to more tax revenue for the government.

A highly regarded economist once observed that "taxation may be so high as to defeat its object," so that sometimes "a reduction of taxation will run a better chance, than an increase, of balancing the Budget."

Who said that? Milton Friedman? Arthur Laffer? No. It was said in 1933 by John Maynard Keynes, a liberal icon.

Lower tax rates have led to higher tax revenues many times, both before and since Keynes' statement -- the Kennedy tax cuts in the 1960s, the Reagan tax cuts in the 1980s, and the recent Bush tax cuts that have led to record high tax revenues this April.

Budget deficits have often resulted from runaway spending but seldom from reduced tax rates.

Those on the other side may have different arguments. However, the question here is not why the left has different arguments, but why there is such anger.

Often it is an exercise in futility even to seek to find a principle behind the anger. For example, the left's obsession with the high incomes of corporate executives never seems to extend to equally high -- or higher -- incomes of professional athletes, entertainers, or best-selling authors like Danielle Steel.

If the reason for the anger is a feeling that corporate CEOs are overpaid for their contributions, then there should be even more anger at people who get even more money for doing absolutely nothing, because they have inherited fortunes.

Yet how often has the left gotten worked up into high dudgeon over those who inherited the Rockefeller, Roosevelt or Kennedy fortunes? Even spoiled heirs like Paris Hilton don't really seem to set them off.

If it is hard to find a principle behind what angers the left, it is not equally hard to find an attitude.

Their greatest anger seems to be directed at people and things that thwart or undermine the social vision of the left, the political melodrama starring the left as saviors of the poor, the environment, and other busybody tasks that they have taken on.

It seems to be the threat to their egos that they hate. And nothing is more of a threat to their desire to run other people's lives than the free market and its defenders.

He's pretty much spot on and I LOVE that last paragraph.

Ishmael

Back to the original point...it is a good observation.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Well put. Just like Ann Coulter promotes Ann Coulter's books, Bill "The Liar" O'Reiley promotes Bill O'Reiley's Nightly Old Fossil Hour, and Sean "Anger Management Issues" Hannity promotes himself.

So when they preach hatred of gays, Liberals and 9/11 widows, it's called marketing?

Interesting. It's all a matter of who does it, as to whether it's called hate or not.



With reasoning like that it's no wonder you guys blew a commanding post 9/11 mandate and are now relegated to the role of the obstructionist minority in America.

America hates you. And the more you hypocrites whine about Liberal "hate" the more of a sissy hypocrite you'll look like to America.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

One has to look no further than the 'Hate Crimes' legislation.

The frightening thing is that so many think that that is perfectly logical and justified.

Ishmael

Kind of like how conservatives feel justified in killing doctors who perform abortions.

We usually don't agree, but I have to ask on this one: are you in touch with reality at all?

You think seething mad protestors are just limited to one side of the political spectrum?
