So calling a bigot a bigot is not name calling.

What is it when you call a non-bigot a bigot?

False accusation. And we all know that's what Perseus was getting at with his message that Ken and Barry decided to spin into something he didn't intend or imply.

i.e. typical Wednesday in the LR.

Sure, but Perseus was still wrong that name calling is somehow the province of the left. The right is just as bad, the names are just different. I can't tell you how may times I've read the term "libtard" over the years.

Or how infrequently Obama was called his actual name.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

A lot of people are addicted to a kind of anger feedback loop. I know so many people who aren't 'satisfied' unless they can find something to hate on all day. The media capitalizes on that. So many people wake up in the morning, throw on Fox and Friends, get angry, and feel good about themselves. Others come home, throw on Rachel M and get a nice anger fix to help them snuggle into bed at night. It's pretty hilarious how angry and miserable folks like to make themselves on a daily basis. I think it's probably because they are bored with their lives.

Don't hold back

Interesting how you copied a response to Vitus and then said that it wasn't what Perseus meant. Yes, there are two conversations going on.


One is about who is doing the name calling. The other is about what exactly constitutes name calling.


With regard to the first, Perseus tried to limit the conversation of "name calling" to only names the the left calls the right. Well no shit. Yeah, only the left calls the right the things that they specifically call the right.



And people who stand for women's rights are called feminazis.
General opposition to Trump are called libtards.
If you voted for Obama, you are a far left radical communist.
If you oppose racism, you are a little snow flake who needs a safe space to cry in.

What's your point?

Judging from the drivel coming from both sides of the spectrum on my Facebook feed, I believe this. I've decided to "resist" by posting gratuitous Golden Retriever photos and panda cub videos.

I believe this. I've decided to "resist" by posting gratuitous Golden Retriever photos and panda cub videos.

I have a golden and have probably seen every video on golden puppies out there. My only new "friends" on FB include, "I love my golden retriever" and "Golden Retriever Lovers".

Now, instead of reading how the world is ending because of Trump or by following every little detail of his day, I get to see golden retriever puppies. I challenge anyone to watch those and not get a good chuckle and if they don't, I'll unfriend them...

Why do I come to the LR? It just depresses me.
