I noticed that if you express a differing opinion from someone it is often labeled as hate. For example if I say that I do not support Gay marriage, and think that homosexuality is not what God wants, people accuse me of "hate speech". If I say that abortion is wrong, it is labeled as "hate".

Hate

If I don't support Barack Obama, then I must be racist as well? Never mind that it is his policies that I dislike. I don't like his position on abortion. He considers a baby a punishment. That is hate in my mind. I don't like his foreign policy. I don't like his position on taxing the wealthy. I don't like his anti-business ideas. It has nothing at all whatsoever to do with his color. Bringing up his race is a Liberal thing.

racism

So IS the term HATE overused?

For decades the only way to end debate was to use accusatory words. When you cannot defend your argument with logic, you accuse. It used to work. The left learned that no one wanted to be labeled, luckily they have overused the tactic and now it is backfiring on them.

I am the same way; I don't hate Obama because of his race, I hate him because of his political decisions and betrayal of the American people.

yeah it is, um wasnt this question about hate being an overused word, not a rundown of Obama. it sounds like you have asked the question with your DISLIKE of Obama in mind. why throw this in as an example, Unless your fishing, hmmmmm. i wonder. and because i have answered you like i have there is no indication of hate for your question, only dissappiontment that you had to throw a jab in there towards The Boss. yes at the moment he is the Boss.

He is talking about how the Dems have used the word "hate" to the point that it is overused. Just like the "race"card.

hate speech,hate and racist all these are just a strategy to crush your opinion... that they're lollapalooza { the right on}...the truth is it just their word to stop your tracks...it sort of like shut you up..drop it some sort of thing..nowadays we all are not stupid anymore..we are not going to accept their words to stop track us..we now know it just a words and if they don't like it then tough..we all are not going to become line up robot into one same big boat...we all have different view of points and different life...so now you know it is strategy..they're looking for to keep things alive and excite they are fear that this will fade away in future because we all know and see this before...you cannot buy everything what they want to throw at you ..if they do throw at you then that's their problem of emotional...they want you to join the club and build up big issues.. we're not them and they are not us..so why worry...

People today have very limited vocabularies, so they use one word to describe an entire range of emotions.

Obama promotes hate! His OCCUPY all promote hate. Obama tells them to GET RIGHT UP IN THEIR FACES AND SCREAM TILL THEY BACK DOWN! To me THAT is promoting hate. And his followers follow his lead. The word "hate" is like "racist". Nobody wants to be accused of it, so it is a natural thing to "back up" if you are accused. And Obama knows this and uses it whenever he can!! It is how he divides the masses, so to speak.
But I have learned this about Libs and I no longer back down. When I believe I am right, I stick to my guns.

We are in total agreement. On the other hand, I understood the question to be referring to the overuse of the word "hate" by people on SH. I believe most, especially the youngsters who crossed over from Facebook, neither understand the nuances of negative emotions nor know the various terms to describe them. For example, one can abhor or despise something. to mention only two, without hating it.

i am glad you can agree but keep your own political views to yourself. i to was on the understanding that this site was about the overuse of the word hate. not a political jab. Thank you not often political veiws are kept out of any posts. ask about coffee, and you'll get some crap about Obama overtaxing milk???

The article was about how the left use the word hate so much that it is overused. It is used to control.

reply
MarinerFH to Bevos 2012/08/07 20:27:37

Good point. The Left is following Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals to reelect Obama. That is a foundation based on hate.

reply
Bevos to MarinerFH 2012/08/09 14:24:25

That's right. They could never win with truth or reason, so they instigate hate, and play it to the hilt!!!

The second paragraph refers to how if he does not like Obamas Policies, he is accused of HATING Obama, by libs.

It's far easier to just assign the feelings of "hate" to anything we don't understand, then to rationally examine why we like or dislike something.

To like and dislike is NOT hate! Too bad the Political Left haven't figured that one out yet.
