Where do you draw the line?

Are you saying murder is no big deal to many people in Afghanistan?

I don't believe I said anything like that.

I'll say it. Let me re-phrase, to many people there, murder is a big deal, it's a cause for celebration.

PaulS, I didn't blame all liberals for what happened at Wesleyan...please stop putting radical jibberish in my mouth. What I say is fair game, don't make stuff up please. I do blame any liberals who won't condemn as hateful intolerance the act of throwing condoms at a sitting justice of the supreme Court.

But that is how your posts constantly come across. It is like if I was petty enough to start a thread "Conservative Classlessness" about the woman who yelled to Santorum to make believe it was Obama when he was at the firing range.

And I didn't see you condem that either - what does that mean?

"But that is how your posts constantly come across."

I can't help how you interpret my posts.

"I didn't see you condem that either - what does that mean?"

Obviously, it means that I had no knowledge of the issue you were referring to.

Paul, I would never say that all liberals are rude, nor would I ever say that all conservatives are polite and respectful. However, in my opinion, when you see things like condoms thrown at Justice Scalia, that type of anarchist, close-minded hate is disproportionately conducted by liberals. And I find that interesting, since liberals claim to be about inclusuion and open-mindedness.

Obviously, it means that I had no knowledge of the issue you were referring to. Or possibly you choose to ignore it as I'm sure others on here heard about it and ignored it. (I have no doubt that you did not approve of it and frankly most who heard about it just laughed it off - no big deal) - just as most liberals didn't know about the Scalia incident. The point is each side does things that everyone knows shouldn't be done. But most left leaning don't constantly post things that they attribute to ALL on the right. Your Scalia post started out "Liberal intolerance...." How do you know they were Liberal????.

Paul, I would never say that all liberals are rude, nor would I ever say that all conservatives are polite and respectful. However, in my opinion, when you see things like condoms thrown at Justice Scalia, that type of anarchist, close-minded hate is disproportionately conducted by liberals.

And when I see expressions of violence or racism it is disproportionately conducted by conserv. (and just as you could disagree or come up with many examples, I could also). So if I started a thread called "Conserv. Classlessness" that ranted about the racists at the tea party wouldn't most people assume that I was condeming all the people at those rallies?

I'm curious to know what pattern of "expressions of violence" you attribute to conservatives...I would agree that conservatives are much more pro-gun than liberals...
