Why do Republicans hate all Democrats?
   Advertisements [?]

My husband came home from work today and asked me that. He said he didn't think Democrats HATED Republicans...at least not nearly as much. I honestly didn't know what to tell him. I know SOME specific Pubs, like the fundies, hate Dems because they believe all Dems are evil and do the work of the devil, but what about the rest of them?

Of course what follows is all the love and tolerance the DUmmies have....

I hate Republicans
   I live in Kansas where they have turned our great state into a laughing stock. I really truly hate the GOP. I don't understand why any sane person would want to belong to that party.

30. They have had decades to do so
   I ain't holding my breath.

I first started hating them in 1960. They have only gotten worse since then.

2. scapegoating
   conservatives are all about passing the blame.

If something is going wrong it must be someone else's fault.

Conservatives never make mistakes, just ask them.

Now that is rich coming from one who believes that all the world is out to get them.

5. Republicans hate everyone. They were born
   means spirited. They don't like each other.
   

Now there is an intellectual argument.

8. I asked hubby what makes him think they HATE all the Dems?
   Apparently he's been listening to the likes of Neil Boortz & Rushbo when he's driving to & from work. Then of course there's the typical Pub guest on TV, all of whom really DO spew HATE. I can't catagorize it as anything else when things like "The presidency really ages people quickly, and I don't want to watch some old woman age in office", or the various criticisms of Hillary's voice or laugh, or clothes. I've also seen a lot of hateful posts directed at Dems in general on the few times I'm ventured over to the Freeper site.

It does seem to me that most of the nasty comments I see posted by the Dems are usually directed toward Shrub, or one of his idiot appointees, but not at all Pubs in general.

Guess you haven`t been reading your own thread.

17. This left-radical, anarcho-syndicalist loathes all republicans equally...
   Edited on Sat May-24-08 09:59 PM by warren pease
I'm an equal opportunity GOPiggie despiser. And I hold these truths to be self-evident.

That there are only a few reasons for anyone to be a republican.

That those reasons are the result of pathologies, massive character defects or sheer unmitigated ignorance -- often all three.

That these motivations include greed, self-interest, intellectual laziness, a fixation on tax cuts for billionaires, raging misanthropy, religious insanity, racism, bigotry, xenophobia, a fear-based world view, a mind destroyed by PR and advertising and pure, uncompromising, willful, ignorant, unlimited stupidity of a kind rarely on display in the modern world.

That all these motivating factors, and certainly dozens of others equally reprehensible, are attributes of the absolute worst the human species has to offer.

That for humanity to survive, for the innocent species around us to thrive and for the earth and its people to ever achieve some semblance of peace, serenity, collective decency and sustainability, these traits -- and the people who typify and even exalt in them -- must disappear from any positions of influence, whether economic, political, military, institutional or doctrinal.

That their loss will be unmourned.

That their disappearance from the levers of power will result in a gigantic exhalation of relief on the part of all but the economically advantaged top .5 percent of the world's population.

That their disappearance will give the rest of us at least a fighting chance to curb global climate chaos, end militarism and empire building, establish genuine peace by recognizing the commonalities among races and ethnic groups rather than emphasizing the differences and using them to divide and conquer.

I could go on, but you probably get the point.

In closing, yes indeed: I absolutely despise every last one of the ****ers and their overnight and permanent disappearance from the face of the earth should be the source of the greatest possible joy and optimism for anyone not a member of the hedge-fund class.

Your mileage, of course, may vary with your personal level of detestation.

28. It's a normal psychological response.
   Republicans are generally insecure, selfish and ignorant. As a result they feel threatened by anyone who has a greater degree of intellectual agility.

The only way they can respond is to lash out.

Started in the late seventies and is perpetuated every day by Faux news and right-wing radio.

DU sure proves over and over again how sane and intellectual you all are.

33. They are told to hate Democrats and liberals over & over & over by their authoritarian overlords.

From a website that has had polls admitting they would rather starve then give up Internet and DU.

40. Because they are gullible, cowardly, brainwashed idiots.

Propaganda works best on stupid, cowardly people.

In other words, your typical republican.

I don't hate them. I pity them.

Wonder if the OP has caught on yet that most on her side are really pretty nasty people?

Well then, her dummy husband dosen't listen to the party leader. Wasn't it Howard Dean who said "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for."?

There those liberals go with their hypocrisy again. I wonder how many grams of hypocrisy a day they have to take to survive?

Hmm, about the time Republicans started pushing for integration and civil rights, eh? Racist bitch much?

Howard Dean (as mentioned upthread)

I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for, but I admire their discipline and their organization," the failed presidential hopeful told the crowd at the Roosevelt Hotel, where he and six other candidates spoke at the final DNC forum before the Feb. 12 vote for chairman.

But Dean said the Democrats should not change their beliefs to be "Republican lite."

"We can talk about our faith, but we cannot change our faith," he said, echoing themes he sounded in his presidential bid. "We need to be people of conviction."

MR. RUSSERT:  Let me talk about some of the things you have said about the Republicans.  Here's Howard Dean in January:  "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for..."

Howard Dean in February:  "This is a struggle between good and evil and we're the good?"

Do you really hate Republicans?  Do you consider them evil?

DR. DEAN:  I don't--well, actually that was a little out of context.  But I don't hate Republicans as individuals.  But I hate what the Republicans are doing to this country.  I really do.  I hate deficits, as you know.  When I was governor, I really was very tough on fiscal responsibility.  Deficits in the long run aren't good for the country, and they do lower our standard of living.  Every American family knows that you have to pay your bills.  I hate the dishonesty, you know, the idea that you'd put a program through Congress without telling people what it costs, I think that's wrong.  Some of the things that the president said on our way into Iraq, they just weren't true, and I don't think that's right.  So...

MR. RUSSERT:  Such as?

DR. DEAN:  Such as the weapons of mass destruction, which we have all known about, but the...

MR. RUSSERT:  Well, you said there were weapons of mass destruction.

Idjit.

Project much DU???

[Lord Undies]

Hate?  Why must the DUmmies alway call any degree of disapproval "hate"?  That is sort of ignorant on their part.  "Hate" skips right over "indifference" and "disgust" on the emotions list?

Dude you read my mind on that one. I thought the exact same thing.

[mamacags]

I don't hate any of them.  I just think they are pathetic and stupid mostly.

I don't hate Democrats but I don't trust them. If I were close to hating one it would be Fat Teddy, it would be a waste of good hate though..he is about to get his.

[Willow]

I cannot say I hate anybody. But, since the far left lunatics took over the Democratic party I can say I have zero respect for their Anti-American antics. As for civil rights, they are trying hard to re-write the history books. Eisenhower a Republican sent the first federal troops to a school to desegregate it. George Wallace a Democrat was a rabid racidst.
Put that in yer pipes Democrats

Oh yes, and Howard Dean yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw Dem also said "Republicans have never worked a day in their lives." And they wonder why we don't respect them in the morning!

Oh, when Republicans (like MLK) were fighting for civil rights against the likes of Bull Connor (D)?

15. The bottom line is fear.
 Hate is almost always a by-product of fear, and these are very fearful people. They are attracted to authoritarianism in all it's forms, because they want Big Daddy to keep them safe. The irony is, they rage against big government, while supporting it's most wasteful and expensive manifestations: the military and corporate welfare. They pretend they are all about individual freedom and rugged individualism, while voting for every kind of socially oppressive legislation. They have no integrity, no real vision; they just believe whatever their chosen authority figure shouts at them, and deeply resent anyone who wants them to look at evidence and think.

There was a list of just Howard Deans little rants against the Republicans that would shoot enough holes in the OP to sink it faster then the Titanic.

Projecting like a Cineplex.

Yeah, like totalitarian Marxism is in anyone's best interest. Stupidity really ought to be painful, like sitting-on-a-cactus painful.

Challenging someone's views is not hating them...I have a feeling that DUmmies think having their ideas challenged or someone even playfully mocking those ideals is 'hating them'. In fact, I'm almost sure of it, liberal sensitivity being what it is.

Liberalism is illogical and a historical failure, so it is constantly on trial.  The liberals problem is liberalism has no defense.  They have to withhold facts, suppress evidence, commit perjury, and never rest in order to keep the trial from ever coming to and end so the jury is never allowed to weigh their case.

This "hate" thing is one more piece of their dishonest testimony.  It is used to create an illusion for the jury.

I'm with Badcat. I f'n hate'em . ...but it's not an action, it's a reaction.

They want to turn a difference of opinion, judicial rulings, and public policies they don't agree with into criminal acts.  Look at how they react to Scalia and Thomas - never mind Bush and Cheyney.

I always get a kick out of fools like this.  They claim they know what's best for others and what's in their "own best interest" better than the person does themself, and somehow they've convinced themselves that calling these people "stupid and cowardly" will shame them to see it their way.

The DUmmie tabasco and his ilk are insane with the desire that people acknowledge them as being the best and brightest.  Never going to happen because they aren't what they portray themselves to be.  The average conservative can see and understand more about how the world really works from the bottom of a well than liberals could ever hope to comprehend were they on the highest mountaintop.
