Where does all their hate come from?

Where does all their hate come from?

Why are Republicans and right-wingers so damn hateful?

Is it because they fear that they are losing something? Economic, social, and political privileges, perhaps? Is that what drives them?
Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.

7. Yes, they are doomed to extinction.

As for their daily behavior, they are pumped full of fear and hatred every day by right-wing fear/hate radio and fear/hate TV. They are taught what to fear and who to hate, and given "reasons" why to hate. Rush and Fox and Glenn Beck and that whole crowd of fear/hate mongers pumps of the fear every day, and then "relieves" the fear with a fresh dose of hate.

And yes, they are doomed to extinction. But so is the rest of humanity, so what difference does that make?

Yes, it is true. I fear they are headed for extinction, they are a dying breed.  Socialists, commies and others of their ilk are failing in countries right and left, but capitalism is thriving where the lazy haven't taken over completely.  The DUmmies are too stooooopid to look at Europe and see the US future if they get their way.

Things the DUmmies are afraid of:

1. A job
2. A shower
3. Babies
4. Straight people
5. Legal citizens
6. Guns
7. Rich people
8. People who work for what they have
9. Capitalism
10. People who think for themselves
11. People who do for themselves
12. Stepping out of their parents basement
13. Going five minutes without smoking crack

Please feel free to add more if you know of them.

That's a good question. A really good question. It's bad when a political group is hateful. I was going through my archives just this very morning and stumbled upon a couple of episodes of the FlippyDoo Show that dealt with hatred. They've been posted on CC before, but unless the mods disagree I think it would be worth it to repost them in this thread. Maybe we can discover if Republicans are professional haters or just unranked amateurs.

---------------------------------
So away we go with episode 1....
---------------------------------

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Cuers of all ages, it’s my honor and privilege to introduce to you today the spirit guide with humorous side. He’s part pigeon and part Irish Setter. He points out the good and poops on the bad.  He’s the one, the only, FLIPPY DOOooo!!!!!


Flippy Doo: Hello guys. It’s good to be here today. Since we’re coming up on the birthday of our great nation, the greatest nation to ever grace the face of the earth, I thought it would be interesting to get some opinions from folks on the other side of the political aisle today. Yes, today we are going to be getting some info from several members of that wonderfully entertaining website, the Democratic Underground.

Flippy Doo: So tell me Duers, with the 4th approaching how do you feel about America?

Vidar: Personally, I hate it

Xchrom: i don't love the whole cult of america -- nationalistic bullshit

Tierra_y_Libertad: I find the whole concept of "love of country" rather silly. At best.

Flippy Doo: Wow, that’s some pretty strong language. I would imagine that most Americans would disagree with you.

Undeterred: Most people are idiots.

rhett o rick: I would say lazy over stupid.

MuseRider: Some are but I really think that most are intellectually lazy, find someone they think they can trust to think for them and then go about their busy lives. Well, on second thought, that IS stupid. Nevermind.

Flippy Doo: Well, don’t you think that broad brushing the American people like that is somewhat wrong?

cboy4: Is it wrong for me to not give a crap if an out of control bus plows into Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia standing on a sidewalk after another one of their partisan rulings? I mean, I think I would be happy. I would feel joyful. But this must be an inappropriate emotion??? I just don't know.

Flippy Doo: Hmmm, in my mind it is wrong.

Big Kahuna: Out of control busses happen. It is the circle of life. Rejoice!

Flippy Doo: Let’s try to get away from this hatred for a minute and discuss the administration. What is your opinion of the President’s recent appointee, Tony Snow?

Antifaschits: He looks ill.

Sinkingfeeling: What happens when you sell your soul to the devil.

Nimrod2005: I am hoping cancer is eating his heart out, or other parts of his body from the inside outward –

Flippy Doo: Now that’s just not nice. Look guys, there are stories going around that a lot of you guys are sort of hate filled. What I’m looking for is evidence to present to the world that you are actually just normal folks who are maybe just a bit too passionate about things at times, but you’re not really helping me out here. I tell you what…mothers are a good thing and helping children is a good thing so let’s talk about the President’s mother. She’s been reading to sick children in the hospital. Surely you can see some good in that?

Latebloomer: It CAN'T be good for sick children to be exposed to an evil old bat like her!

Flippy Doo: ARRGGGH!!! Okay, okay, let’s just get away from political people all together. We’re coming up on the 4th. Our brave military has fought for about 230 years to protect our freedom and help make this country what it is today. Regardless of whether or not we agree on the Iraqi war issue, surely we can agree that our soldiers deserve our respect and appreciation as we near this patriotic holiday.

Gaspee: Nope. I don't support anyone who joined the military after an illegal war was launched.

Flippy Doo: Ahh, come on now! We wouldn’t be the leader of the free world if not for the very soldiers that you refuse to support!

 LibFromWV: Whaaaa? The military is only necessary because we are idiots. We can't solve problems without hitting each other like a damn bunch of little babies. Necessary? Not if people actually had a brain cell or two.

Flippy Doo: Actually I don’t think that the terrorists in the insurgency really cares how many brain cells you have. They just want you dead.

coalition_unwilling: Please stop calling them an "insurgency" -- they're a legitimate and justified Resistance

Flippy Doo: Well, do you think that their beheading of innocents is also legitimate and justified?

Leesa: Here we go with the beheading hysteria again. It is a quick way of killing in the Middle East and possibly far less tortuous than imprisonment for years without charges and frequent beatings

Flippy Doo: Heaven help us!!! You folks are absurd. You really DO come off as being full of hatred. What exactly is wrong with you people?!?!

BareNakedLiberal: We are all suffering a collective nervous breakdown.

Tace: I Often Think That Historians Will Point To Drugs As Our Problem

Flippy Doo: Whatever it is, keep your anti-American hatred away from me. That’s all I can stomach for tonight folks. Thanks for tuning in. I wish all of you who actually love and appreciate our country a happy and safe 4th of July. God Bless America.

Disclaimer: Although the quotes shown above were actually made by DUmmies Flippy Doo is a FICTIONAL spirit guide and as such has not in actuality interviewed any DUmmies.


---------------------------------
And now we go to episode 2....
---------------------------------

Announcer: After a long absence I bring you the fictional spirit-guide with no smell whatsoever. He's part pigeon and part irish setter. He's the one and only FlippyDoo.

FlippyDoo: Hello ladies and gentlemen of CC. It's been a long, long time since I've done an edition of the FlippyDoo Show. I've thought about doing an episode here and there, but I just didn't have the drive. I don't know exactly know why. I suppose that at some point it began to seem that the DUmmies weren't putting their best feet forward in their duty to entertain us. Lately, however, I began to rethink things. Let's face it, the DUmmies have been collected together in one place for the purpose of our entertainment and they are the self-proclaimed smartest individuals on the world wide web so surely my lack of drive could not be their fault. Maybe the fault is mine. I don't know. This is not something that was really covered in VRWC training or in fictional spirit-guide 101. I have decided that in order to determine where the fault lies that I need to get to know the DUmmies better. That is the purpose of this edition of the FlippyDoo show. So before I bore you anymore let's bring out the stars of our show and begin the interviews.

FlippyDoo: Okay, I guess my first question is how do you DU members view the Democrat Party?

Rockholm: The term "Democrat Party" is really pissing me off. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Oookay. Just for the sake of being diplomatic, how do you view the DemocratIC Party?

Count Olaf: The Democratic Party has traditionally been the party of love. linky-dink

Jackpine Radical: The Dems are the party of love. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: The party of love? I guess that was some love that good ole Rockholm was displaying earlier, but that doesn't matter. If you say the dems are the party of love who am I to say that you're wrong. I've got an idea though. Let's play a game. I'll say a word and you say whatever pops into your head. Let's start with: Bush.

lacuna: I admit it. I hate George W. Bush. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Christians.

noahmijo: I hate Christians even though I am a believer of the teachings of Christ. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Thanksgiving.

CrispyQ: Of all the holidays I hate Thanksgiving the most. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Family.

cain_7777: I hate my freeper brother-n-law! linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Christmas.

Vinca: I definitely hate Christmas. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Wow. That is indeed a bunch of love. So any other opinions on the DemocratIC Party?

AmericanLiberal: the Democrats are the party of compassion linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Compassion? Hmm. Let's play that word game again. The first is Jerry Falwell.

Gold Metal Flake: I'll stop dancing on Fallwell's grave long enough to piss on it. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Ronald Reagan.

mopaul: I'm glad he's dead and I don't care how many times I'm scolded or chastised for it. linky-dink

anotherdrew: I've still got to get my dancing done at reagan's grave, linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Robert Novak.

Robb: I'd like to dance on Novak's grave now. linky-dink

FlippyDoo. Whew. Let's go to something different. What do you guys think of our military?

Undertheocran: All of them are babykillers, The whole army needs to be desolved linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Darn. Umm. Moving on to something else again. What about America? Give me you opinion of America.

bhunt70: I hate America at this moment. linky-dink

Tom Yossarian Joad: America, the land of stupid mother****ers. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: For ****'s face!!!! What is wrong with you people!!! No. I'm sorry. I've got to calm down. Got to watch the language…Okay. I'm sorry about that. Tom mentioned something about America and stupidity.  A poll was posted several years back asking DUers their IQs. Out of 82 votes 78 people claimed to have IQs of 120 or above. And 37 people claimed to have an IQ of 140 or above. linky-dink to the poll That's a lot of smart people.

WFF: It's quite obvious that if you post on DU that you are intelligent! linky-dink

steve2470: DU totally rocks because people are so intelligent and helpful linky-dink

Gman: The average IQ at DU likely is 25 - 30 points higher than FR linky-dink

subcomhd: As anyone who checks in with FR knows, they can't spell. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: It looks to me like Gman and subcomhd are suggesting that incorrect spelling is an indication of stupidity. They may be right. I know I've seen the word "waisting" used when "wasting" should have been used instead. Also, I've seen the word "do" used when "due" should have been the word used.  If Gman and subcomhd are correct it would mean that FR has some dumb folks…wait a second…I've just been handed something by an assistant…It looks like I was mistaken those posts with "waisting" and "do" were NOT from FR. They were apparently from a post here by DU member Drale and a post here by DU member happyslug. I wonder what that says about DU. I know let's spin the post wheel and see some examples of DU intelligence…

snappyturtle: I need help to answer this repuke's email linky-dink

cushia_machree: Need help with repuke attacks on wilson linky-dink

Wiley50: NEED HELP DeBunking Repuke Chain Letter. linky-dink

Anwen: I need help arguing with a Republican linky-dink

ablbodyed: Need help to counter repug arguments….PLEASE linky-dink

FlippyDoo: For ****'s face! Are you people listening to yourselves?!? You're the party of love and compassion that's full of hate who spends spare time grave-pissing and grave-dancing. You're the alleged smartest people in the world yet need help against the alleged stupidest people on the planet!  Wait a second…okay…I've just been told by my assistant that since I am talking about the intelligence of DU unless I make mention of a certain post that a cop with a black ghost chicken will jump out of the bushes in 24 business hours and hit me with a brick so here it is…

spooked911: I set up the following experiment using steel rabbit fencing as the steel structure supporting a heavy cement block. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: What has the above got to do with intelligence?

FliippyDoo's assistant: He is proving with a cement block, rabbit fencing, and some fire that the Twin Towers didn't fall because of airplanes.

FliipyDoo; Get outta here. You're joking right?

nadinbrzezinski: We have crossed the rubicon…folks linky-dink

FlippyDoo: Who the hell are you?

nadinbrzezinski: For the record, I hate to be right about this. linky-dink

FlippyDoo: What are you rambling about?

nadinbrzezinski: the NOBODY has died Talking Point is now pining up in the fjords linky-dink

FlippyDoo: I don't know who that is, but I smell an interview. Maybe the drive is coming back. Talk to you guys later.

No DUmmies were actually interviewed in the course of this parody; however, since their actual words were used I suppose you could say that it is fake but accurate. I heard that somewhere once.

I haven't met an ugly one yet.

Poor libbies.  We have the market cornered.

[obumazombie]

Is Yossarian a member of DU ? Because my fondest memory of that name was from the classic novel by Joseph Heller in "Catch 22"

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Independent , conservative white women.

[obumazombie]

Intolerance.

[Airwolf]

If anyone on the right has hate for anything it's because you clowns on the left have been very very good teachers. Ever since the start of the 20th Century the amount of hate for the things you cannot stand has grown much like the hate seen in Anakin Skywalker untill he finally became Darth Vader. Now like him all you can do is try and destroy what you do not and cannot love.

[Revolution]

But also like Anakin, you are going to end up being burned, disfigured, and in immense pain writhing by a river of lava after Romney wins. After your progressive Dear Leader is thrown out on his ass in November. Only, your emperor will not come to save you by that river. You shall perish. IF you do survive, you will have to stay in the outer rings of the Mustafar system. Live in solitude until you last dying breath.

Untrue, but if it were actually true, you all could prepare for another Sodam and Gamorah, because it would happen quite rapidly. God promised he would not flood the earth again. He never promised he wouldn't use some other means.

[Big Don]

The big difference:
We hate ideas; Socialism, communism, legalized theft
They hate people who have ideas

[dane]

The hatred they speak of comes from their own forum pages.  Here's a current thread. This is just the OP subject line, brought over as an example.

Damn.  H5.  Awesome.  You put it into things that they can understand.

[txradioguy]

Gotta love how the DUmmies project their hate onto us.  Talk about being in complete denial.

If you want to see a DUmmie totally shed their "tolerant" disguise see how they react to:

Black/Hispanic/Female Conservatives and/or Republicans.

Log Cabin Republicans.

A Conservative/Republican who dies or gets cancer or some other terminal illness.

THAT is when you see the real face of a modern day Libtard.
