Here is a story that I picked up from the blogosphere. (Hat Tip: Wizbang!)

Recently on his TV show, Bill O'Reilly talked about a George Washington University study which shows that liberals who use the Internet are less tolerant of opposing viewpoints than conservatives who use the Internet.

Liberal columnist Kirsten Powers confirmed what that university study says. On O'Reilly's show, Powers said the following:

You know, I have to say this actually jibes with sort of real life experience that I have found, especially as I came into more contact with conservatives as I got older because I used to really live very much in a Democratic bubble when I worked in politics. I did find that they were much more open to sort of hearing other viewpoints, where I think liberals because they are so used to controlling all the media pretty much, academia, that for them when they hear things that don’t jibe with what they want to hear, it’s very disconcerting and unsettling to them. And it doesn’t surprise me that they’re really less interested, whereas conservatives are kind of used to it. They’ve lived in a world where pretty much, you know, the whole media has been sort of liberal.


Powers went on to say, "Liberals are sort of taken aback because they feel like, ‘What are you talking about? Everybody knows that what I think is right and nobody thinks differently.’"

Liberal columnist Juan Williams echoed the above-stated observation when he wrote about the Liberal intolerance of conservatives who belong to minority groups.

Do you have any examples of liberal intolerance that you want to share?

Like the many one line responses given by liberals dripping in Ad Hominum?

Here is a Good one!

JERRY BROWN ASSUMES WE ALL WANT TAX HIKES ON US ALL TO PAY FOR HIS SUDDENLY "IN THE BLACK" BUDGET! And the dumshyte doesn't realize he started a stampede of rich people from our state! At least they can run away from the mess the rest of us are stuck with! And I will bet it was these same dumbshytes who voted him in.

Post comments on Yahoo sometime. I LOVE LETTING THE INSULTS FLY THERE. One of my favorites is asking people how they like the taste of Obama's cork in their mouth!

The CONSTANT attacks on the NRA with completely made up "facts."

I could go on but that would be unfair to others here!

Top Obama Aide: U.S. System Not Worthy of Obama

by Keith Koffler on January 22, 2013, 2:36 pm

This has been around for a couple of days, but I wanted to make sure you saw it.

One of President Obama’s top advisers suggested to the Washington Post the other day that neither Republicans nor the American political system are “worthy” of Obama’s political agenda.

“There’s a moment of opportunity now that’s important,” said White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer . “What’s frustrating is that we don’t have a political system or an opposition party worthy of the opportunity.”

Checks and balances are a cruel thing when you are trying to do great things that Republicans couldn’t possibly understand, I know. But because of those idiots who founded our country, that’s the system we got, Dan.

People should understand that Pfeiffer is not just the West Wing Minister of Propaganda. He’s a smart political veteran who is one of a small handful of aides deeply trusted by the president. If he thinks this way, you can be sure the attitude is pervasive and extends straight to the top.

All Obama is worthy of is a resounding FUCQ YOU! Elitist bastards! The Pigs have taken over the farm!

Obama has this more equal than equal mentality that scrapes on me like a cheese grater!

I don't know. I see a lot of conservatives scream intolerance when liberals/anyone is not so tolerant of their intolerant/bigoted/racist/completely out there views. Now, I'm not saying all conservatives have those views. But, those are the people I see whining that liberals are not tolerant enough.

Does being tolerant mean we have to be tolerant of all those things I listed above, otherwise we'll be labeled as intolerant? Are those who scream intolerance actually being tolerant as well?

I will give an example.

Recently, a federal appeals court declared that President Obama made unconstitutional appointments during times when Senate Republicans kept the U.S. Senate legally in session.

In an editorial titled "A Court Upholds Republican Chicanery", the New York Times states, "For most of President Obama’s first term, Republicans used legislative trickery to try to prevent the functioning of two federal agencies they hate, the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. First they would filibuster the president’s nominees to the agencies, knowing that neither agency could operate without board members or a director. Then they would create fake legislative sessions for the Senate during its recess, intended solely to prevent Mr. Obama from making recess appointments as an end run."

As it turns out, Senate Republicans merely used a tactic that was originally used by Senate Democrats when George W. Bush occupied the Oval Office. Yes, Senate Democrats kept the Senate legally in session in order to prevent President Bush from making recess appointments.

Liberals liked it when Democrats played by that rule. Now that Republicans are playing by the same rule, liberals are complaining about the rule.

Liberals aren't tolerant of Republicans winning by playing by a rule created by Democrats.

Here is another example of liberal intolerance.

It is not unusual for liberals to cry "Racism!" when there isn't any because they can't make a good argument to counter an argument being made by conservative opponents.

Recall what happened when U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice was suggested to be President Obama's nominee to be the next U.S. Secretary of State.

Republican senators were critical of Rice because of the things she said in response to the murder of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi, Libya.

Some liberals claimed that Rice's Republican critics were opposed to her because she is a woman "of color". Somehow, those liberals forgot that those same Republicans approved of Condoleezza Rice becoming Secretary of State, and Condoleezza Rice is also a woman "of color". Senate Democrats criticized Condoleezza Rice during her confirmation process, and yet, liberals didn't accuse those Democrats of having a racial bias.

In short, some liberals do not object to people "of color" being criticized when those particular people are siding with Republicans. However, the same liberals are intolerant of criticism aimed at people "of color" who are siding with Democrats.

Sure. Go ahead and claim "Racism!" without giving evidence proving your claim. False claims of racism are commonly the last resort of liberals who are losing an argument.

Due to fraud mayhap? The electoral college does not vote by a numbers standard eg. a majority vote. They vote based on perceived desire by district voting. Having seen what the electoral college is about and how it operates I can see the fraud for what it is.

For what it's worth, the U.S. Constitution says that the legislature of each state gets to decide how that state chooses its Electoral College electors.


Anyway, if Republicans lose elections, then they do so despite the fact that there isn't anything racist in the national Republican Party platform.
