[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 591861, member: 944"] Sorry, but your comments are over the top and are examples of exactly what I was talking about. Perhaps you don't know many conservative,s or perhaps those you know happen to also be racists. I know many conservatives and only a very small minority are racists. Criticism of Obama was strong, but for the vast majority of folks I know, it had absolutely NOTHING to do with his race, and it is a complete and utter cop-out to jump to that conclusion. You're offended by the birther silliness? I know almost no one who took that seriously. But guess what, conservatives have been offended often...and probably MOST often by being accused of being racists when they aren't. The idea that somehow one party or group is high and might and the other is evil and racist is honestly just contemptible and unworthy. There are racists....ON BOTH SIDES. There are biased partisans who will attach the other group...ON BOTH SIDES. The sooner we all realize this the sooner we can move together towards reconciliation, even if we never agree on certain things. I prefer to be an optimist and believe that it is a minority of people on each side who are truly fanatical and completely partisan. In fact, most of those that I know are more middle of the road. The biggest Democrat I know happens to be the biggest racist I know. Doesn't mean much overall. You may know a conservative racist....don't fall into the trap of tarring entire groups like the TEA Party as being racist based on limited information (or lies told to the media and repeated all over the internet by one side....or the other). If you don't think there is bitter vitriol, hatred and shameful anger on the left....well, I don't know what to tell you. My own experiences in trying to visit places like Democrat Underground and DailyKos has been far less than inclusive and welcoming and has been simply full of insults and anger directed by people who have no clue what my beliefs are....As I said, I prefer to believe folks like that are the minority (or have just had a lousy day), BUT....they absolutely, positively and without any doubt exist on both sides of the aisle and always have....
