That the left refers to the presentation of an opposing opinion as
"Hate" is what I find most offensive.

Opposing opinion is fine. When that "opinion" becomes, "In my opinion, anybody
who disagrees with Bush is a tratior. In my opinion, the liberals in this
country are all out to coddle terrorists." etc
that becomes hate speech.

It is not hateful to draw conclusions. That you guys on the left try
to taint such conclusions by demonizing them as hate (and therefore
invalid) is the point.

An opinion is
"I believe the current policy in Iraq is a good one because........" The
statement, "All liberals should be given a one-way ticket out of the United
States to improve our national security" may be an opinion- but it's also hate
speech.

Sean Hannity put it best one day when he made the statement: "I don't
hate liberals. I have plenty of liberal friends. I play golf with
them, I go to dinner with them. I just don't want them in power."

They just don't understand reality.
