I noticed in the hate mailbag that the dittoheads call us

[Brucey]

enlightened and tolerant and kind. Then they say they are surprised to see us use hate and name-calling. But I was wondering, do they really think we are enlightened? If so, why don't they agree with us on issues? Isn't it odd to look at some other group as well-informed and progressive, but to think their ideas are wrong?

[AP]

1. Because 'enlightenment' has become so devalued by republicans that they

either don't realize that it's a compliment, or they're actually using it as a perjorative.

Same with tolerance and kindness.

[Padraig18]

2. You're a braver person than I am.

I've not yet had the nerve to read through the hate mail article... :scared:

[tom_paine]

3. They don't think. Years of Geobbels v2.0 have robbed them

of that privilege.

Read "1984".

Pay specific attention to the term "Doublethink."

How the fuck did Orwell predict the Freepers so correctly?

Or is it just that "Lick the Boots" types like the Freeps have been around for centuries, back when they were Nazis, Commies, Columbian Death Squads and the Roman Soldiers who crucified Jesus.

4. Perhaps they find enlightenment and kindness repulsive

and then are angered when they think we are copying their values of hate, ignorance and the like.

Or, they are just plain stupid, ignorant assholes.

Hey! I like being judgemental and ignorant..It takes less mental effort! Gotta go, Fox news is on....

5. they don't think we're any of those

they think we're hypocrites.

they think we CLAIM the moral high ground, but when we don't bend over far enough for their tastes, we're hypocrites.

i think they're projecting.

[trotsky]

6. Bingo.

Perfectly stated, maxsolomon.

[Bandit]

10. "i think they're projecting."

Duh!!!

[maggrwaggr]

7. Nah, they're just trying to make us feel guilty. nt

12. Note to heather

This is my favorite DU response. Spit tea all over myself when I read this. Heather is a dolt that thinks we went to Iraq to free the people of Iraq. LOL.

DU RESPONDS: Actually Heather ... the war in Iraq was about ... the imminent danger ... to the United States ... from Saddam Hussein's ... weapons of mass destruction ... Remember them at all ... or is it all ... a little foggy ... ? Bush went on and on ... about them at the ... State of the Union Address ... And then there was ... Colin Powell's ... presentation to the UN ... Do you ... remember that ... ? I bet you don't ... even remember ... what you had for breakfast this morning ... do you ... By the way ... did anyone ever tell you ... you write exactly the same way ... George W. Bush reads ... his speeches ... ? It's a little bit ... unsettling ... actually ...

9. We hate things about the content of people's character

They hate people based on arbitrary taboos: skin color, sex, personal religion, etc.

Only they're really pissed now because they can't admit it. So when we call them on their biased behavior, they call us 'haters'. LOL!

11. They Count On Us

to act like sheep. The minute a Democrat actualy stands up and fights back, they get all frothy at the mouth. The only way their bullshit can work is IF DEMOCRATS SAY NOTHING and take the "high road".

That's why I'm....
