Why is it that people who do not agree with your POV considered hatefull?

Name calling often for doing the things they accuse others of
Is a nasty dem trait
Also silencing their critics a favorite
For the victim
all tactics are ethical

Because they themselves are filled with hate.

Why is it when people don't agree with your POV you say they are hateful? Do you see the blatant hypocrisy?

As a progressive, I do think that the word "hate" is thrown around too loosely. It is a strong term, and, you can certainly disagree with gay marriage without hating gays.

However, hate is the PERFECT word for some of what is posted on here-- about minorities, the poor and gays. Unfortunately, perhaps, by not calling out the real haters when they post their screeds, you get painted with same broad brush as them...

I commend you for admitting that just being against gay marriage doesnt mean you hate gays. but the most hate around here is pointed towards anyone with a differing opinion than the liberals. If you dont agree with them they flat out hate and destroy. I dont hate them, i actually feel sorry for them.

I'm not familiar with liberals calling those who simply disagree with their point of view hateful. Do you have any actual examples?

I think you have to be willfully ignorant to say that it only goes one way.

If we're going to be honest here, the hateful rhetoric flows both ways.
