This is me quoting something I myself wrote(below). BTW, Ann Coldheart, if you read this. It is OKAY to quote yourself without citing the source, but it is NOT okay to do the same with other people without their knowledge and permission.
Anyhow, we ARE angry. But we can't even come near the level of hatred and anger the GOP and their supporters have been directing towards us for decades.
WE say these things because they are true.
THEY say them to intentionally destroy people who disagree with them, to discredit beliefs they don't like. They don't hesitate to lie in the process.
THERE'S a huge difference.
"There has been a long term, organized assault on liberal Democrats and their beliefs coming primarily from 2 sources for decades. First there is the radical religious right, which has been used by the GOP. They themselves in concert with people like Karl Rove have attempted to demonize liberals.
You must recall the time decades ago before “Liberal” was a risky thing to proclaim oneself to be.
Second there are the neocons, those who signed on to the PNAC- Project for a New American Century. It began in the late 1990’s and the orginal document calls for the US to take advantage of its position as the singular super power of the world to extend its dominion all over the globe.
These same groups have attacked and labeled the main stream media as the “liberal media”, thus successfully bullying the media into a more conservative and unquestioning position in regard to the powers that be in the last 6 years.
There is no liberal main stream media. Those of us who are liberal must seek out Air America Radio and Amy Goodman from Democracy Now to hear anything remotely objective, to say nothing of liberal."
But still the rover is and will continue to attempt to say that the left is more hateful, there was a headline over at Raw Story last week that said "Rove: Right use Internet to 'broaden our appeal;' Left use Web as way to 'mobilize hate and anger'"
Most of us don't fall into the trap anymore, we don't make nice cause of stupid statements like that.
We need to speak up so people who are not as clear about it as we are will have an alternative perspective to believe that reflects reality.
