If Liberals are so tolerant, why are they the first to call others "Racists"?

    This poll is almost useless. You don't address anything about what tolerant is or should be.
    Nor do you give any reason for others to believe your premise about "liberals being the first to call others racist.". Is that based on your belief or actual numbers somewhere? Looks to me like the whole poll is an exercise in intolerance.

    Should racists be tolerated?
    Is it intolerant to challenge a racist?
    Who should be tolerated or not tolerated?
    What is meant by tolerate (does it mean to ignore hate speech)?

    Yeah why would people think Republicans are right when there leaders keep making racist statements, and the only black people among them got out there way to insult 95% of the black population.

    Is there really anyone gullible enough to honestly believe the right in America is not unambiguously racist?
    If so, this person is so dense they deserve nothing less than compassion & pity.
    For decades Republicans at election time deliver their flatus of toxic racism and xenophobia typically and dishonestly defended as unintended and misunderstood in the finest tradition of twisting the truth of who is the victim and who is the assassin.
    A couple recent examples for your displeasure-
    Ron Paul ran an ad featuring Jon Huntsman speaking Mandarin, moving about in China where he was recently ambassador, and holding his adopted Chinese daughters accompanied by text declaiming Huntsman’s lack of “American values” (apparently neither tolerance nor rationalism are among those values according to Paul) the implication was Huntsman retains more allegiance to China than to America, going so far as to question the parentage of his daughters, asking, “China Jon’s daughters: Even adopted?” insinuating Jon had committed that Republican mortal sin, cross-racial insemination.
    C'mon folks how obvious can it be? This may be the most downright stupid expression of brazen xenophobia ever though I’d have to review the collected ad oeuvre of Jesse Helms to make the definitive judgment. I suspected Pa...

    Not to be outdone in the Republican competition to insult entire races of people, Rick Santorum uttered this treasure: “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn money.” The obvious implication is that blacks don't work and are a financial burden. These racist smears aren’t rare, they’re a prominent pattern of the Southern Strategy in Republican politics for many decades now.

    On cue, Newt and Santorum pulled out the old original Nixon trope adopted by all Republicans since, “I’m shocked and outraged you would consider my comments to be in any way racist.” Republicans remain dull enough to mistake what they regard as the effectiveness of a ploy with actually eluding moral accountability for their indecent hateful putrid speech.

    Is it possible to believe even they are dim enough to believe their own defense?
    “I’m not racist just because I repeatedly exploit vicious racial stereotypes”
    Before anyone whines that these are anomalies, I’ll remind them these are three top tier Republican candidates for president of the United States speaking during a primary campaign, and that it doesn’t get any more center stage than that in American politics.


    I know I probably shouldn’t be, but I’ve been shocked by the right wing reaction to shooting of Trayvon Martin. In what appeared to me to be a tragic loss that the nation and indeed the world should morn together, ideologues have decided to make a circus of to display their commitment to racism.
    Reactions have ranged from a desperate search for ways to make it the fault of a kid with a can of tea and a bag of skittles in his hands, to hysterical accusations of some kind of liberal plot. The shooter of course should not be convicted by public opinion but the incident is certainly a crime that calls for HONEST investigation and justice in a courtroom.
    I was a bit stunned, to tell the truth, that people would have tried to turn the unjustifiable shooting of a kid into evidence of the evils of the left, but I thought about it for awhile. And when I hear some idiot’s vile reaction to the death of an innocent young man into context with all of the other spew I hear from the right wing every day, then it makes “sense” for the right wing to blame those damned libruls.

    The Republican Party has destroyed the American standard of living. No Ifs Ands Or Buts. They have basically enslaved millions of people-NOT by way of one of those goofball conservative welfare fantasies, but by stripping wages so much that people work every hour they can just to have enough to eat and a place to sleep. (We won't even delve into the slave labor issues of the "free market" abroad). When asked ,who do the right wingers blame? "The lazy and slothful American workers" for having it “too good.”.

    Instead of trying to exercise some of that “American exceptionalism” the fools of the right talk about by demanding that every working American be treated with a minimum of morality, the modern conservatives and their hateful followers choose to denigrate, attack, and complain about American people who work hard, play by the rules, and just try to get along from day to day.
    "How dare you question the wisdom of the CEO of Bank Of America quadrupling his own pay while the bank itself is implicated in fraud, theft, and scams... while only existing as a result of your tax dollar bailout"!
    Indeed how dare you bring that up or point that out? "Your a pinko, anti-American, communist!"
    Only a commie would complain about the CEO who gives himself a 30 milion dollar
    The GOP has turned America into an anti-science menace feared and loathed the world over. Instead of recognizing that the gun is not the way to solve all disputes with other nations, however, the GOP and their mindless parrots have instead become enraged at any country who dares to question it's wars for nothing. So what if we flat-out lied to get us into a war of choice-forget about all that! Instead, be furious at FRANCE for daring to complain about our illegal and evil warmongering! France is obviously full of evil LIBRUL America-haters!
    (Viva la France!)
    The GOP has morphed into a white supremacist organization that appears to have been the designated successor of the United Klans of America. In case after case, Republicans have tried to displace minorities from their homes, keep minorities from voting, and legalize overt racism nationwide. But don’t bother trying to explain this to a rabid right-winger; you’ll get a diatribe on how those damn lazy (insert epithet for minority here) don’t WORK hard enough! How they all sit on their asses and expect handouts! Oh, and them damn illegals-they is KILLING our schools and our hospitals! It certainly isn’t the fault of employers who happily hire them because they can’t complain about wages or working condituions, no sir!
    And women?
    There are too many wrongs to catalog here. From their “neglect” of their children due to working for a living (which most have to do in any case,) to their “sluttiness” because they want insurance to cover birth control, to their “asking for it” because of the way they dress, or where they go… According to the GOP, they’re just plain evil. And naturally, "LIBRULISM" is to blame for that

    Tolerance is enforcing things on people that they don't want. We are intolerant for wanting to stand up for our rights rather than rolling over and doing as we are told like they love to do.

    Those Bible thumpers all joined your party 50 years ago and have had a happy home with your party ever since. I noticed none of you threw them out yet like we Democrats kicked their asses to the curb back in the 1960's. You welcome them, encourage them and wouldn't have anyone left in your party without them. The Republican party--home of the KKK, the John Birch Society, Neo-Nazi skin heads and all RWNJs . What a party. Which is why you're freak show party is destined for annihilation.

    Supposedly Liberals are the big supporters of minorities. Then why did they try to throw Clearance Thomas under the bus? Why did they throw Herman Cain under the bus? Why do they continue unsuccessfully to throw Alan West under the bus? Because Liberals do not support minorities, only those minorities which walk in lockstep with them, proving their agenda is more important than their support for minorities.
