The above is a good example of how the liberals/lefties can't be civil and can't respect a different point of view. They use words like the KKK, Nazis, etc. to describe "most" on the right which simply isn't true. I am a conservative and I haven't anything against our fellow black Americans. I am pro-life. Does that make me evil or that I hate women? I have nothing against gays either but I don't support a marriage between them in the biblical sense. I have no problem with them having a civil union. But I am sure the poster above would make me wear those ugly labels because afterall he is a liberal and that's how they operate.

Why do liberals seem so afraid to engage in a discussion and instead use hyperbole and mischaracterization to frame the argument?
You did a pretty fair job of answering your own question.

None too bright either. I mean, they come into a thread that makes an accusation of a certain behavior and then display that behavior blatantly.

I hate to tell you this but the reasons why we don't is because we know conservatives are usually always right about topics and subjects. Therefore, conservatives begin attacking the liberal points and their views, and then we realize that we cannot carry on with meaningful discussions with people who think they're right all of the time. Yes, we liberals know how pathetic conservatives are and discussions with such are truly meaningless. How does that saying go? you can't argue with a sick mind?
Show me a liberal who is afraid the exchange in a discussion, and I'll show you people all over the forum who are spoon fed fox (faux) news, and base their threads upon faux talking bird dog points.

Are you sure about that, I distinctly recall people (conservatives) mocking president Obama by posting photos depicting him as a nazi-socialist-marxist-racist, communist among other things. is this the pot/kettle analogy?

I've asked some of the uber-conservatives here if they've actually read the book. The question is always ignored. Always.

It's part of the game. Someone they consider a liberal (which is anyone who doesn't have a framed photo of Ronald Reagan hanging in their living room) says something they don't like..... they get the "Saul Alinsky Lover!!" thrown at them like water on the Wicked Witch of the West. They've never read the book. They don't know anything about Saul Alinsky. But they know his name and they know to toss it out there thinking people will recoil in horror.

It's actually quite humorous.

Liberals (and increasingly, moderates) realized where the country was heading shortly after the media debut of Limbaugh 35 years ago. This is the voice of corporate fascism, now greatly expanded in the corporate-owned media. You do not "debate" the agents of this ideology. Plutocracy is wrong for America, pure and simple. No discussion!
"Hatred" for plutocracy, fascism, fascists, their dupes and purveyors, is well-placed. Not a thing wrong with it.

Racism is a form of hatred, yet the Right tells liberals to shut up about it because it's a minor concern. The Right knows better, and tolerance of it is a form of hatred.
Denial of human rights whether gay, minority, women's, equal pay for equal work, are forms of hate.
The right-wing beliefs of Ayn Rand are based on hatred of others (these are some of your republican candidates - including your VP).
There is more than this, but charges of right-wing hate are well-founded throughout our history.
Oh, and where did you hear that liberals are "afraid" of discussion? Issues are being discussed all the time - just not in your world apparently.
Your "question" is not a question at all, but a feel-good outburst worthy of Fox News IMO.

Well, aren't you passionately against equal rights for homosexuals, because you hate them? You may be so hateful about the subject that you will insist over and over again that homosexuals already have every single one of the rights that heterosexuals have, which is absolutely not true at all.
