Why is hate only a problem when democrats are on the receiving end of it, but the exact same people whining about right wing fanatics hatred now didn't seem to mind all the 'Bush is a Nazi' BS that went on for eight years?

during his first term you were called anti-american if you didn't agree with him. during his second term the republicans started to agree with the liberals attacking bush.

Let's just agree that everybody is always wrong no matter how right they may seem, we just need 2 years or so for shit to hit leh fan.

theyre just doing their job, making sure that their constituents are represented. the problem is that it's easier to pay attention to people who use volume rather than people who use reason, and the media usually worsens that imbalance.
