Yea, everyone else must do solar but not the president. When are solar panels going into the white house?
Example of bullying that occurred this summer involved Chic-Fil-A. The president of that restaurant chain Dan Cathy did an interview in which he said he supported traditional marriage.
Immediately the restaurants were boycotted by leftists claiming that Chic-Fil-A discriminated against gays and lesbians which they hadn't at all. This whole episode even prompted Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago and Mayor Thomas Menino of Boston to ban Chic-Fil-A from opening restaurants in those cities.
Boycotting is not bullying. Consumers are allowed to choose where they spend their money at. Don't you <3 the free market? I do.
The mayor thing I could see being bullying a little bit more than any of your previous examples, but that isn't saying much. It still isn't really bullying, it's just bad decisions.
While Obama and the left like to pretend that they oppose bullying with all their hearts and souls, the truth is far darker: the left is the greatest purveyor of bullying in modern American history. Bullying has morphed into the left’s go-to tactic, as they attempt to quash their opponents through attacks, name calling, intimidation, and rhetorical intimidation on every major issue facing America today.
The simple strategy used by liberals and their friends in the media: bully the living hell out of conservatives. Play the race card, the class card, the sexism card. Use any and every means at your disposal to demonize your opposition to shut them up. Then pretend that such bullying is justified, because, after all, they claim conservatives are the true bullies, and need to be taught a lesson for their intolerance.
Hidden beneath the left’s supposed hatred of bullying lies a passionate love of its vulgar tactics.
Ummm....the poster that ELR quoted is actually named wrench. There was no name callling. It's the same as if someone said to me "I feel sorry for you, gibbs."

Boycotting a restaurant because you don't agree with the beliefs of its leadership is in no way bullying. It is nothing more than consumers choosing how and where they spend their dollars. I know people who absolutely refuse to have any accounts with large banks, because that adamantly disagree with the way the banks are run. Are those people considered bullies as well since they are boycotting large financial institutions?

Denial – This is when the left refuses to admit that they've done something not so nice. It's a way they lie (to themselves as well as to others) about their aggressive intentions. "Who... Me?" tactic is a way of "playing innocent," and attempts to make others feel unjustified in confronting the aggressor about the inappropriateness of a behavior.
It's also the way the aggressor gives him/herself permission to keep right on doing what they want to do. This denial is not the same kind of denial that a person who has just lost a loved one and can't quite bear to accept the pain and reality of the loss engages in. That type of denial really is mostly a "defense". Rather, this type of denial is not primarily a "defense" but a maneuver the aggressor uses to get others to back off, back down for insinuating he's doing something wrong.
And I will counter with - Republicans tend to see in others traits that they possess themselves.
This exactly. The left is extremely mild-mannered when compared to the rhetoric we hear about Obama on a daily basis.
You realize that many on the right called Obama that anti-christ, correct? Many still believe that today. Calling him the anti-christ, socialist, communist, not to mention the whole birther thing, are all worse than anything the left has done.
A sizable amount on the right believe Obama is not only a bad president (which is perfectly fine to believe), but are convinced he is actively plotting the downfall of this nation. You won't hear the left claiming that about Republicans, I can tell you that much.
The actual 'bullying' is when a conservative says it.
When a liberal does it, it's justification.
I've seen it all my life. And I've been around a bit.
As to the poster that feels 'sorry' for me.
Hey, don't lose any sleep over it, cuz I sure won't.
