222. You make some good pointe BUT
Aren't we the ones always having to make concessions and be "nice". Democrats and liberals in general are way more tolerant than any member of the religious right any day of the week. If they cannot take a little name-calling, then they shouldn't call us names either. But they won't stop doing that. What they do is far worse than a little mockery. They equate liberals with Satan so why should we be tolerant of their wishes? The right wing were the ones that started the demonization in the first place. They have almost all of the TV news channels as well as most of talk radio. As far as I am concerned they are puritans and hypocrites. What the right does very successfully (see Mark Crispin Miller's Cruel and Unusual) is project their own failings onto liberals. they are the ones who really hate, not us. So we shouldn't fall into that trap anymore.
