No, absolutely not. I may wish harm on those who answer yes, but rather or not they are red or blue is irrelevant. I'm a Democrat (for the sake of simplicity), but I'd take a Republican who enjoys debate over a Democrat who just blindly hates Republicans any day.

No, I don't hate anyone. Why "hate"?

I will repeat a previous post. No. I live amongst a majority of people who have opposing political views to mine and have for decades. We get along fine as neighbors, family, and long-time friends. Mentally ill, insecure, or inadequate people use politics to excuse or justify their irrational hatred of others or themselves.

Centrist here

The extreme right I find annoying but harmless

The extreme left I find less annoying but dangerous

I don't surround myself with people that subscribe to either extreme ideology if I can, but I wouldn't say that I hate these people.

Such stupid talk, so much hate spoken around here. Must be a lot of miserable people posting around here. Child like, I don't think my grandkids use hate speech like I hear here.

Liberals have no problem with killing all the rich people.

Liberals don't hate other - they are jealous of the people more successful than them. Their greed, rather than hardworking, drives them to violence and mass murder.

I don't know how much more liberal I could be and I am not jealous of anyone...never never.

Who do you speak for? More stupid talk and thinking.

no silly - its about views- and sooner or later the one side will sink then the next. We here a lifetime- not a political season - if you hate a person for his political standing- you are sick-- get some help

No, I don't hate them or wish ill upon them but I don't particularly understand their views or their lack of reason/logic. In these highly charged times I know who to avoid discussing politics with. I have never seen friends and families divided the way it's happened the last few months.

What has really bothered me is how racist and full of hate many Americans are towards people of different religions, different cultures, etc. I have to say I must have been very naive - and I am shocked about that. I thought we were a much better country than apparently we are. All of a sudden people feel the need to verbally attack people on a grocery line. Why? And the people who hide behind the anonymity of a keyboard are cowards. For those who have physically attacked - even murdered - people they've decided don't belong "here"....well I hope there is a special hell waiting for them.

I searched for the word on Google, hoping a link to one of the online dictionaries could help me, but Google had no idea either. So I am lost. I honestly can't say I've referred to a conservative this way, because

1) I have never seen the word before.

and

2) I have no idea what it means.

So a definition would be most helpful.
