The Huffington Post is a refuge for the most intolerant of left wing beings. The denizens are rude and crude and maintain a very high level of ignorant self-righteousness. I thought you might get a kick out of what goes on over there. Here is a common exchange at HuffPo
The thread was:
Republican Debate Sunday Serves Up More Fireworks But No Game-Changers
Commenter Jett7 says
Pious Baloney should be the name of this traveling republican fre_ak show.
Doc Holliday responds:
That’s what I thought when the Obama’s started going back to church in time for re-election.
Commenter J Osteen:
Barack and his family have rarely missed a Sunday. Where do you get your TeaKlux news ?
Doc Holliday:
Prove it
J Osteen:
Look it up KluxBagger
Doc Holliday:
You make an assertion you cannot prove and you want someone else to do your work. You are the perfect Obama supporter.
J Osteen:
G F Y
A few other assorted comments:
Where does this lying piece of dogshit get this story ?
Kennedy died with a personal fortune of over $200 Million dollars.
Do everyone a favor and k.ill yourself now.”
Note: I was thrown off of HuffPo despite never having used profanity. I would have no use for HuffPo ever except that it’s in my face every time I sign onto AOL. So likely it will by sayonara AOL.
I read worse crap here and most wingnut sites. Pot=Kettle, dude.
You don’t get thrown off for disagreeing.
The denizens are rude and crude and maintain a very high level of ignorant self-righteousness.
Sadly, Liberalmann is right. “Rude, crude and ignorantly self-righteous” as a rhetorical device has been appropriated with just as much enthusiasm by the right. Time for conservatives to lead by example in engaging in thoughtful, informed and courteous dialogue focused on issues rather than people.
Carolyn, spoken like someone without a clue.
Politics has never been a “genteel” business and likely never will be. Deal with it.
Dr. J. Days of Mike’s America I got thrown off here twice. A.C. got me back. Where is he?
Thrown off Huff Post a badge of honor for you.Eh?
Who’s 2nd and 3rd in N.H. today?
Romney up 10 in S.C. polls. Is it over if he wins? Who can beat him?
Rich, where was McCain at this time during the last primaries?
Hard Right Mac was about to win N.H. and S.C just like Mitt.
@Richard Wheeler:
You shouldn’t make assumptions Rich.
http://federaldaily.com/blogs/thursday-trivia/2012/01/iowa-caucus-new-hampshire-primary-presidential-predictor.aspx
@Richard Wheeler:
Romney is the nominee. Said it some time ago.
@Richard Wheeler:
You bet!
You were thrown off here or off of MA?
Dr.J. Banned here by Mike(RIP).
Hard Right Dr J. and I are making the same assumption. Mitt will be the nominee. What say you?
BTW To my knowledge no Repub. has ever won nom. while losing S.C. and N.H.
@Richard Wheeler:
Not that I am capable of doing so, but I wouldn’t ban you. Even though you’re wrong nearly all the time, you have my respect.
It’s not over yet Rich. It’s not your average primary.
Dr. J. says “wrong nearly all the time” You mean I ‘ve been right? Dang. Would you tell Anticsrocks?
Think you could find something right with BHO.? Seems you don’t look at him with an open mind and whatever he does is wrong.
I respect the fact you treat all F.A. posters fairly and without personal rancor.
Hard Right True. Like Iowa N.H. is small and personal. Huntsman has spent the time and effort in N.H. that Santorum spent in Iowa. This should place him 3rd at 14-17%, ahead of Newt,Santorum and Perry but behind Romney and Paul. Newt wants to keep Romney under 33% to prevent huge momentum into S.C.
We’ll know shortly.Enjoy
Off subject Nick Saban best football coach. PERIOD
@Richard Wheeler:
He seems to be a faithful husband?
But I could be wrong.
@Hard Right: Your response illustrates my point, of course.
Nobody but you mentioned genteel. What I actually said was thoughtful, informed and courteous.
Courteous should be obvious to anyone who subscribes to the Declaration: If you really believe that both you and the person you’re talking to were created equal and endowed by your Creator with certain unalienable rights, then s/he, as well as you, is a person of value and should be treated as such.
Thoughtful and informed ought to be obvious to anyone who engages in the cultural conversation in an attempt to actually change the outcome in the larger culture rather than just to try to “win” a particular argument with a snappy put-down because it feels good and sounds clever. Thoughtful-and-informed wins some hearts and minds; bluster-and-ridicule alienates them.
Now we know who the one per centers are— supporters of Rick Perry.
Big night for Mitt,R.P. and Huntsman.
To Carolyn:
I apologize for Hard Right’s rudeness. He is of low moral character and a reactionary at that. I have read numerous postings by him over the years and they are always filled with invective. He will continually behave as child and cast aspersions against anyone with whom he disagrees with. Unfortunately guys like him are unavoidable on sites like this. Do keep posting as I like what you have to say. Ignore Hard Right as he really never ads anything constructive to political discourse, he simply muddies the conversation will vile slander.
Take Care
Ron H.
🙂 Thanks, Ron. I actually have a pretty tough old hide, hardened by years of campaigning for conservative causes and candidates in a liberal state. (And the beauty of the internet is that when they throw liquids and ripe fruits, nothing actually spatters!) So I haven’t been losing any sleep since venturing onto Flopping Aces. But I do appreciate your kind words!
LOL! I have to say that’s the best belly laugh I’ve had today…
Let’s see… Carolyn laments the diminishing civil discourse from both sides of the aisle. Ron H… the man with the foul mouth commentary here that’s landed him in the moderation filter… apologizes for HR with decidedly (and hypocritical) UNcivil discourse… and the fact it’s the quintesssential example of the rhetoric originally lamented is overlooked?
?????
But that’s okay. The belly laugh from the irony was oh so worth it…
@Carolyn:
Again, you wish for that which has never existed. Would it be nice? Absolutely. So would cotton candy and unicorns.
As long as the radical left owns the dem party, any hope of “polite” conversation is a dream, so spare us your preaching and place the blame where it belongs.
Ron H, you are but an insect. Annoying at times, but insignifcant and easily swatted.
Hard Right What did you think of those N.H. results? Look for Romney to carry S.C. AND Fla.with Newt 2nd. Santorum and Perry dropping out. Ron Paul to eventually finish 2nd and a Romney/Rubio ticket giving BHO ALL HE CAN HANDLE.
Hey Mata:
I’m glad you had a good laugh. But the one thing you have overlooked from that lofty perch on which you rest is that it was Hard Right that started this feud with me and it began years ago. I started commented on FA in a very civil tone and it was Hard Right that came at me with vitriol. I even complained to Curt. Nothing was done to my recollection and his vitriol continues to this day. I will treat people the way they treat me Mata.
As for my being put into moderation, Aye was being his usual smug self aggrandizing self and so I took the gloves off and went at him. I don’t apologize for it either. As for you, I’ve seen you hurl a few insults at Larry in some of your back and forths so do you really want to comment on uncivil discourse? If so I have a kettle that will match the color of your pot.
Hard Right:
Hah! You are precious with your tough guy routine. Still never got that name? Oh yeah I forgot…….
Mata:
I’ve read one of your back and forths with Larry and you insulted him to the point where he was taken aback. So I’ve got a kettle to match the color of your pot. I’m glad you had a laugh though.
Ron H.
Hard Right:
Ahahahahaha. Man your hypocrisy is astounding! And as far as insects go, I just scraped you off my shoe little man.
Your pal
Ron. H
Hard Right
here I am to give support to you my friend,
now who is bothering you here? we cannot let this happen, because we like your answers, always straight to the target, and piercing like a sword, you have to keep on concentrating,
don’t let the small shot hurt you, I have your back,
MATA
hi,
I just read that STEVEN COLBERT IS GETTING IN THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT, IT LOOKS LEGIT,
BYE
@Hard Right:
as if any “polite” conversation can be had with the likes of the radical right either.
😉
Hard Right
hi,
don’t mind him, he’s a troll out to attack anyone, anything in front of him,
just like a runaway bull
bye
BEES #29 Colbert HAS indeed formed an exploratory committee and will assuredly run.So far he leads only Rick Perry and Chauncy Gardner in the polls. I’d expect John Stewart to be his Veep. and possibly the ever charming Hard Right his Sec. of State.Would you consider Sec. of Defense? lol
@ilovebeeswarzone: zut alors, Bee! grow up.
C Andrew Scott
I’M NOT FINISH, how about 10 times for each one of your insult.
I have just begun,
I think, it would have been easyer for you to apologize,
too late now.
@ilovebeeswarzone: what was my insult, Bee? pointing out your obvious prejudice and bigotry?
then i guess i’m sorry…that you can’t just admit to yourself.
i don’t believe i’ve been nearly as insulting as you, but that’s just my opinion. i’ve tried to keep things civil. sometimes the truth hurts.
Ms.Bees vs CAS on the undercard of Mayweather/Pacquiao. Great sport.
