Sorry

I don't necessarily believe all of that page. I will say, though, that I agree with quite a bit of what he said - especially the stuff about a far-right person being just as dangerous as a far-left, and the trenches, and soforth. A neat analagy, I thought. Also, quite a few of his quotes, although probably out of context, seem very 'true to the breed', if you know what I mean.

FYI: I don't consider myself to be 'leftist'. I am happily left of center, but not off the page

Well, I just looked over those forums, and I don't think a single one of them knows what a real-life liberal is... People should stop assuming that Micheal Moore and Al Franken represent all of us.

I'll also add that a stupid conservative is just a stupid as a stupid liberal, and a lot of those people seem stupid!

I agree. And vice-versa, of course.

Living in Madison has given me an excellent chance to meet liberals of all types. Bleeding hearts, intellectuals, Green Party nutcases -- there's definitely a wide range of people out there on both sides, from the wackos who don't know what the hell they're talking about to the people who are excellent at debating their positions.

There are clearly stupid people on both sides. For example, I'm positive that a parallel situation on the Democratic reactionary website Democratic Underground would be met with the same brand of rude, baseless, and outright stupid commentary.

It's important to keep that in mind. Stereotypes are made to be broken.

The DU is MUCH worse than PW. PW allows liberals to post on the forums, the DUs' rules say that if a person is conservative they shouldn't sign up, and if they do they'll be banned. I wasn't banned (afaik) but they edited my signature because it said 'I am conservative, but I'm not here to start fights'

[Forged]

Well liberals are stupid too.

[Banana fanna fo fanna]

number of loud stupid liberals > number of loud stupid conservatives

[hismajesty]

number of loud stupid liberals > number of loud stupid conservatives

Yes. There are of course stupid conservatives, but conservatives tend to not cause such a disruption or be as loud. They don't tend to protest, but maybe they just don't have the time to protest since they actually have jobs. Who knows?

[Forged]

The stupid conservatives are fewer than the stupid liberals this is true, but they make up for it in the level of stupidity. i.e

Ann Coulter > Micheal Moore

Rush Limbaugh > Ted Kennedy

Michael Savage > everyone

George w. Bush = John Kerry

[hismajesty]

Ann Coulter is way smarter than Michael Moore. (and prettier)

[quasi-modo]

Rush Limbaugh is way smarter then Ted Kennedy. Also Rush's face is not ravaged by alcohol and rush never killed someone with his drinking. Savage is actually a liberitarian, he is conservative, but I am just saying that he is liberitarian if it means anything. I do not listen to savage regularly, but he is funny.

Michael Savage isn't a libertarian, I am a libertarian.  That guy pissess on everything the libertarians stand for.

[quasi-modo]

Michael Savage isn't a libertarian, I am a libertarian.  That guy pissess on everything the libertarians stand for.

Well he holds the same conservative economic views as a libertarian, the whole free market and kinseanism, supply side economic "regressive" economic theory, if you will, the same views I hold. He also claims to be a libertarian. I do not really know much more then that since I am not a regular listener of his show.

[Forged]

He might be an economic libertarian, but he isn't a social one.

[quasi-modo]

He might be an economic libertarian, but he isn't a social one.

he is a social misfit
