Ah, I see. When the right advocates for their position, it's paranoia and hate. When it is pointed out that the left have their own set of bogeymen, it's victimhood. Ingenious!

In the meantime, speaking of fear and hatred and paranoia, we must remember that our friends on the left tell us that:

CEO's are evil - Some, not all, but many are amoral about much but the bottom line.
Banks steal money - Not necessarily, but they do manipulate the rules in their favor, and it would be much more that way without regulations preventing it.
The "right" lies - It's more like the propoganda arm of the right lies and misleads, and far too many are more than willing to lap it up.
The Republicans want starve your children and have granny eat dog food - No, they don't care that much. If folks can do well, fine, but if not, get out of the way.
The right wants to see people dying in the streets without health care, and have grandpa living in poverty with no pension or social security. They don't necessarily want that to happen, but they aren't willing to give up their tax advantages to prevent it
Conservatives are really anarchists who hate any form of government - No, silly, that's libertarians. Conservatives want the government to build roads, keep the contracts to their businesses flowing, feed the industrial military complex, and let someone else pay for it.
The right wants dirty air and dirty water - They don't mind clean air and water if it doesn't get in the way of maximizing profits.
The earth is going to burn to a crisp and we'll be flooded out by melting polar ice caps if we don't stop driving SUV's - None of us are going to live long enough to see that happen.
Dick Cheney would be the anti-Christ if only we believed in God - Many on the left believe in God, but see Him as something more than a shill for corporate profits. Calling Cheney the anti-Christ recognizes his accomplishments for more than they are. He is simply evil.
You and your silly stereotypes.

Whell, I might have entertained the idea of a serious reply If I had thought there was anything in your list I could take seriously or, for that matter, anything I thought YOU took seriously. As it was, I felt it was deserving of a: being ignored or b: being mocked.

What can I say? I'm bored.

What's all this shuck-n-jive about racism? It aint because he's blah, and you know it! Why, we've known our entire lives that it's really the GOP that loves blah people. Why just take a look around at the RNC.....there had to be at least twelve of those people there. You didn't see that at the DNC, now did you? Just look at the warm reception full of well wishes Mitch and Newt gave our first blah president.

Geez, John, wake up and smell the watermelon already!

Regards,
Dave

And then there was George Allen calling that fella by the quaint and folksy little nickname he learned at his mother's breast.

I know. Just what we need is another substandard intellect in the Senate, and an overt racist to boot.

Right. Combating stereotypes with more stereotypes.
