Maybe we could have another anti-conservative thread.

Now really folks, read AO's list of topics and tell me the board isn't liberal.



Anit-Bush, Anti-Rush, Anti-Coulter, Pro-Franken, Anti-War, Pro-Dean, Pro-Clark....the list goes on.



How about you guys just consolidate all of your comments in this thread?

    Oh, you mean revealing the identity of a CIA operative, a felony, is a conservative thing? SDW, the "anti-conservative" threads you're whining about have a good level of dissent in them. Maybe you should give that a try?

    Let's try and make SWD into a switcher. With Bush's crimes, I think any sane person who is informed would switch.

    is there some sort of law saying the boards have to have an equal bias? i mean it is what it is.

    the tide is turning, all americans aren't stupid, you can only ram crap down their throats and tell them it's prime rib for so long, eventually we wise up.

    Actually they don't have a good amount of dissent in them. Because after 20 posts of "you're stupid, why are you even here,etc," people stop replying to those threads.



    I'm as stubborn as they come but even I won't waste my time replying to most of the nonsense that passes for discussion in these threads. I've followed the same pattern. Post for a bit, let the whining about actual opposition begin. You question the source, the poster, the intent and end with liar for good measure. Giant calls everyone stupid and ignorant. Gilsh doesn't even make sense most posts.



    I think what SDW says is proven even more not by what conservatives post or won't post but by what people I consider truly independent will or won't post. I see Groverat, BR and others getting the same treatment or ridicule and abuse.



    Ridicule and abuse have replaced discussion since I don't care to convince others with those "forms" of discussion I have definately slowed my posting.

    That is true, to some extent, but it is true of some of your posts too.

    It is true to a large extent. I did try to give a bit of what I got from 10 different angles. However I like discussion. I don't like calling someone names even if it would score "points" among a certain crowd.

    Well haven't Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity set the standard? They are masters of ridicule and insult.



    Now that conservatives are taking it on the chin, they're boohooing about being picked on... Bush Bashing... gimme a break. That's what happens when the economy isn't doing well, the "peace" isn't going great and there's a political scandal.



    I didn't see anyone complaining about the level of discourse when Clinton was getting pummelled constantly... and he was doing a GOOD job...

    I agree Chu, I agree entirely. But that is why I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and the like. Ranting without content soon becomes boring.



    However, I don't want to stop reading AO. There have been some pretty good liberal/conservative debates here in the past. I am quite liberal, but I do find it interesting to read conservative points of view on AO that do contain real ideas (although my other time commitments do not always give me time to post myself). I'd like to be able to read more good debates here. So let's try to address each other's ideas. Sure, there will still be a fair bit of steam blown off - that can't be avoided - but real content is so much better.

    How about the next time you report a post and whine about being abused I just ignore it since you ask for it?
