I've become rather disgusted at what I call "republithugs". I used to enjoy having a civil debate, even with republicans, but since Bush, the neocon republithugs encamp themselves at politcal forums and attempt to drown out or bully democrats into silence. I've left a couple of them at various times in disgust. NOT because they disagree with me...heck if they actually did that, I'd not mind. But instead its just heckling and character assasination without addressing points...really the lowest sort of interchange. Its almost like the neocon/republican guard have their own skinhead shock troops: the republithugs, who contribute NOTHING to a discussion except personal attacks and mindless drivel. They gang up on articulate democrats to weed out the opposition through intimidation and frustration.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Its why I came here....its not that I only want to hear OUR side of the issues, but its the only to rationally discuss the issues without weeding through the dross....that, and you guys are great!
ok,, here's the reason for my post: I was toying with the idea of picking one or two of these boards I don't frequent much anymore due to being drowned out, and sending a posse of you excellent arguers over there to even teh scales a bit.
but.....the more I think about it, the more pointless that all seems. What do you guys think?
