Wading through the mostly incoherent post, (s)he's basically calling out DU's hypocrisy in saying they love when in reality DU is a Hate Site. Aaaaaaaaaand Post Removed. Unsurprisingly.
But the replies are still up, and there are some doozies.

18. Well, most of us don't want to KILL the people who profess a desire

to KILL us (shooting, hanging, etc)....
Pardon me for not liking the people who want to see me dead,
only because I am a Democrat
I freely admit, Jesus was a better man than me
"love your enemies!"
I still aspire to that ideal, separate from any religious beliefs,
but for the moment I am failing it
If this site makes you feel so bad, perhaps you should stop viewing it for a while----
perhaps you can find more "love" on RedState or TheDonald.win ????
I see a lot more kill, hang, shoot republican/MAGA/conservative screeds than those targeted at moonbats.

MAGA America speaks of violence.
They condone hate, bigotry, repression and exclusion.
They demean, demoralize, and discriminate.
But they don't speak very much of love.
I think they depend on US to do that.
They also threaten war.
But in a very REAL sense we are already AT war.
We are engaged in a war for the soul of this nation.
In a war for diversity and inclusion.
In a war for compassion, honesty, and integrity.
We are in a war for the survival of our DEMOCRACY.
Against adversaries who seem prepared to stoop to any low.
So how 'bout we win this war?
How 'bout we rise to the occasion
in great numbers,
actively and proactively speaking out against this evil?
How 'bout we save our democracy,
and in so doing, the NOTION of democracy
for the entire world?
Then afterward we can speak of love.
Irony-impaired aren't we?

13. We're here opposing the excesses of rabid reactionary politics

of the far right. This is a political site that includes a wide range of forums that include no political barbs, and host discussions more demonstrative of shared love for people, nature, animals, books, music, and other aspects of life, including care and concern for each others’ health and welfare, and those of their families.
If the political becomes too intense the other forums are certainly welcome relief.
I assumed most members were aware that politics is the main thrust here. None of us are plotting to murder our fellow citizens, or deny them rights, or overthrow the government as they do on right wing sites. THAT is real hate.
More irony-deficiency from folks howling for excess, and reactionary policies.

Let's just say this... George W. Bush and Donald Trump have brought out the worst in many progressives...
Mostly Shrub and Dump's fault.
I try NOT to hate... hate is a distraction from all the wonderful things to do in life.
Translation: It's not my fault, they deserve to be hated. I'm not in control of my emotions.
