But if you look on this board at the number of posts that are replied to with just insults without any content other than that, those posts are more likely to be from the right than the left. I see you are not a follower of sylvestor.
I think that many times the characterization of Nazi, Bircher or McCarthyist when applied to some people on this board may not be that inaccurate. To be accurate, the posters would actually have to be members of a neoNazi party or the John Birch Society, right? McCarthy is a lot tougher; he's been dead a while.
So in almost all and possibly all cases, they are slurs, not accurate descriptions.
NOW: Tell me the difference between that and the use of the T-word.
I agree that there is a lunatic fringe on the left also, that comes across as completely not based in reality. Let's not forget Ray Duray, Sidney Reilly, MSI, rock_nj, Don Earl, or American Spirit in that. Remember, AS has been shown to be factually wrong so many times just in the last few weeks it is pathetic. The rest of them are commited conspiracy theorists. |
