-For a "peaceful" group they seem to be involved in more violent protests often resorting to shouting and shoving matches.

-For a group that claims to be more mature and educated than the right....they sure sling a lot of name calling like republi-crooks....neocons...etc

-For a group that is very vocal about individualistic freedoms, they have no problem with bigger government imposing more taxes on different classes of people.

-For a group that claims Fox news or other conservative news outlets are biased, they have no problem accepting news from liberal news outlets as hard fact.

It is always fascinating when a right winger tries to tell the left what they believe and think...

Most left wing concepts I see are strictly the province of right wing imaginations.

Have you seen the protesters?

Have you heard the protesters?

Perhaps YOU'RE imagining things!

Interesting Spotlight Fallacies you have there.

Care to provide and evidence that leftist/liberals as a whole are like the ones you see on the news?

The left.

The dems are claiming them as theirs.

Thank God.

Fox tells them that's what they are and they obediently obey. Whatever fox tells them is always the truth and to never question.

What did he write that is not true?

Not saying the Right is without fault. Far from it. But to imply the Left is some kind infallible school of thought is to confirm what he wrote.

While I too see the crazy things going on in the protests, I don't think it's any wiser to
assume that all liberals are like that anymore than liberals should paint blanket statements about conservatives.

I'd like to see each side deal with the other on a case-by-case basis
instead of generalizing, personally.
