Have you read any of the posts by Harry, jps, basskisser etc? You keep
highlighting mild insults from the people on the right, but high five the
left while the hurl profanity and hate speech to those they disagree with.

Left wing individuals are not an "institution". Nor are right wing individuals
an "institution".

Many people exhibit outrageous behavior here in the NG. It's funny to watch how
the
accusations fly. In virtually every case, those who complain about various
individuals overlook the hateful flaming done by people on their own "side" and
point out the equally offensive antics by somebody else and label that "the
problem".

Right wing radio *is* an institution, and it rather unfortunately sets the tone
for its listening audience. The largest such audience in the US.

Did you know the largest owner of radio stations in the country is the
corporation that broadcasts the Rush Limbaugh show?

In some small towns, they own *every* station, and are buying up TV stations,
newspapers, etc literally as fast as possible.

And I don't high-five anybody. You must be new here.


This statement applies to everybody:

My point is that those unable to discuss issues resort to hurling strings
of
insults.
An insult is an emotional reaction, not an intellectual response.

It was included in a response to a couple of the resident right wingers because
they were the individuals involved in the discussion at the time.

It would be ridiculous to say that a right wing poster flames and insults when
he has nothing intelligent to offer, but that a left wing poster can do the
same thing and it's a sign of inspired genius.

But hey. It's an election year. The dirtiest ******* will win, and both sides
are out to
make sure they're dirtier than the other. Same old thing.
