I'm sick of right-wing nuts everywhere.
Seriously, I'm sick of these bitter, selfish beings.
How am I (or anyone left of even right of centre) responsible for all the miserable things that happened in their lives? I didn't teach them to HATE; I didn't steal their lunch money as a child; I never did anything personally to them.
In all the hatred they are fed and then spew, do they ever once stop to think how they are being played for FOOLS? Smart people don't allow themselves to be played.
I'm sick of innocent people having to pay for their damaged psyches.
Hateful, nasty people. :mad:
Rant over. :(
But Darth isn't angry, no way!
But seriously though I laugh every time I see a post like this.
The only "smart people" are those that think like they do and vote like they do. Everyone else is "dumb", "angry", "hateful" and "racist". People who think like that - "if you don't agree with me then you are wrong and the enemy", are people who haven't progressed past middle school, concrete, everyone is all good or all bad. It's a juvenile way of thinking and DU seems to excel in it.
It's why there are so many flame wars on DU. Many of them cannot tolerate someone having a different view than they have.

4. I'm sick of them too. But I keep trying to figure out..
how do I keep from hating back at them. I am furious, I am at the point that I do all that I can to even be civil to people I know who are RWers. I do not want to be just as hateful as they are, but damn it. I am starting to hate them. I want them to disappear from the face of the earth. Grrrrr.
Thanks for letting me vent too.

5. I put this at the feet of
FOX NEWS, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, and all the other right wing media types, who have stirred the pot till its starting to boil over. I am not sure what we can do about it... They do have a right to free speech. But does it give them the right to incourage violence and incite bloody revolution in this country?
What if they were fully responsible for the slaughter of thousands? What could we do? Enact a hate speech law? People on this board have said a hate speech law could be used against us as well.
Maybe bankrupting them?
I don't know what the answer is. I only know where the all the hate and vitriol comes from.
Leftist talking points.

7. They're afraid. They think righteous anger will keep any bad things from happening
to them. It's fear. And for many of them (far more than I ever imagined) it's a fear of the Black guy taking away their power.
I totally agree with AsahinaKimi - I totally hold Fox, the Republicans in the Congress and Senate and the big money behind them all for this. If they would bring a message of support, of "we're all going through it, it'll be tough, but we'll survive and prosper" there wouldn't be this kind of hatred running rampant.
Instead, they've divided the people of this country, turned US into hateful, judgmental and at times intolerant jerks, and are destroying our country and way of life.
I'm sick of it all, too. It makes my heart hurt. :(Translation: If only they would agree with what we want then it would make it so much easier for us to win and get what we want.
Sounds pretty selfish to me.
