I'm proving my point and it's working pretty well given the fact that very few of the liberal mob here on CD are getting anywhere near this thread.

I know that all of the supporters of OWS aren't racist, rapists, etc etc etc but then again, I'm not trying to paint an entire movement based on the actions of a few people. I do think the majority of the OWS supporters are a little misinformed and naive but that doesn't make them racist.

Rise above it, Backspace. If you truly enjoy moral superiority over "those liberals" (whatever that means), then you shouldn't employ the same tactics that you deride them for using.
You're assuming the OP's stance when the only question posed by the OP was about whether there was a double standard.

It seems like every day we get a new video of something happening at an OWS protest that shows extremely bad judgement and illegal activity by OWS supporters. We've all ready the reports of people being raped in tents by strangers, people ranting against Jews, people stealing expensive electronics, people hurling rocks and bottles at police, people ignoring laws which are meant to protect public property, people defacing public property, etc etc etc. Why do liberals automatically attempt to make it seem like those are non-existent instances that in no way represent the OWS movement as a whole but the minute you saw someone holding a sign at a Tea Party protest with a photo of Obama with a bone in his nose you instantly labeled every single person who's ever even thought about supporting the Tea Party a racist bigot?

Please explain this gross lack of logic on the part of liberals, especially those here on CD. To me it seems pretty clear that you're now dealing with the exact same treatment you dished out to the Tea Party supporters and you don't like it one bit...

Before you go crazy and attack me personally because you don't like my message, please save your time.

If you intend to deny that these things have taken place at OWS events all over this country, please don't waste your time in here because I'll start posting video after video that proves you wrong.

Great thread and very valid question!!

The leftie loonie hypocrites will avoid this as they do not admit the truth. They live by 'good for thee, but not for me' - it is fine for them to judge conservative groups and label them together based off of the actions of one or two, but they have a fit if the same happens to them.

If the rules apply, why do we have an entire crew of liberals here on CD who spent months posting about how racist the Tea Party is based on posters held by a few members and comments made by a few people? Where was the outrage from the left? Where was the distinction between the actions of a few and the purpose of the movement overall?

It's his method of proving that point that I have a problem with. Doing the same thing as the other side doesn't impress me as a good argument.

What about indicative? Do you know what that means? Do you know enough to look past a simple spelling error and address the topic at hand or will you simply hide behind a misplaced "i" and ignore the question at hand?

How about this?
