Thats funny cause people on this board act like bullies when they get behind their keyboards. :cool:

It does? You must live in South Carolina.

I'm not a Republican, but it seems that they get picked on much more then Democrats….rightfully so, of course.

Well put…People who will vote Dem are often characterized as un-american in some way. At least that's how it seems to me sometimes.

in conservative places that is not the case at all, in many parts of missouri or even in just St. Louis you can get a lot of shit for being a Dem

I think Zell Miller has a great future playing the comedically cranky old man, didn't see his speech, but from reading it that is the sense I got

That's what I was trying to get across. Granted, if you don't support the war you are painted as un-American by the right (and Rob Gee), but if you happen to be a republican, you are a war-mongering, greedy, homophobic racist. It's such a ridiculous double-standard across the board.

I don't necessarily think one gets picked on more than the other….just that the nature of the characterizations seem harsher from some GOP'ers.

lets take this a little further…

what if in 2002 Kerry had said something about questioning the current intelligence on Iraq's weapons program. that to him the analysis was flawed and more information need to be gathered before action was required. a stance like that would have cast as supporter of hussien now.

if he had said nothing on the situation he would be branded as soft of national defense.

damned if do you damned if you don't.

He woulda probably been more hated than France. ;)

i've been thinking about this way to much late and it's finally coming together so bare with me…

protesters who are seeking to bring about change are always labelled radical out of the mainstream. it was a bunch of radicals who brought about the womens right to vote and the end of segregation in the south. both good things in my mind. there are probably people who still this disagree with both those changes in our society.

today in the land of the free and the home of the brave if you disagree with the president or the way the country is run, you are unamerican, a traitor, etc. and if you don't like leave!

being able to disagree and voice one opinioin is the basic tenet of a democracy… but clearly not in the minds of those who think they are in the right…
