Besides I believe I said something in my last post about liberal hating Ashcroft, I wasn't claiming they where this biased about every Republican.
I think liberals probably dislike Rumsfield more; I know the press does.
When I hear people like R. Limbaugh, or A. Coulter or P. Buchanan or Falwell rant, my immediate reaction is that these people don't have a clue as to what democracy means......
I think your wrong about them, also I don't think they are typical of Republicans.
I don't think they are typical of Reps. either but I think they are considered Reps. icons. Remember, perception is 9/10s the game.
I can't think of too many things from any of those four that would be against human rights or against democracy. Falwell has said some crazy things but he is not exactly popular even among Republicans. Buchanan isn't a Republican any more. Coulter and Limbaugh are perhaps better examples but plenty of Democratic politicians say things as odd as some of the things they say. Liberal pundits and interest groups go further. I think your gut reaction is based more on not likeing certain outspoken conservatives and their ideas rather then an actual analysis of what they say and a comparison to the likes of Jesse Jackson, Ted Kennedy, Al Sharpton, Mary France Berry, even some of things that Al Gore has said or written.
No, my gut reaction is that they are pissed that they are restrained by the rules of democracy. That if they have their way, they would rule period. Remember that dictatorships are typically conservative, not liberal.
And since you where including conservative columnists or radio personalities I could easily point out quotes like
"I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early...of heart disease...He is an absolutely reprehensible person."
-Julianne Malveaux, USA Today Columnist, on Justice Clarence Thomas
Strange how you had all these quotes at your fingertips. You've been planning this response for a while, haven't you? Admit, Fowler!!
