I am on a international forum, it is amazing how US politics takes center stage. I am sick of hearing how Republicans are out of touch, mean spirted, etc. I am trying to put together recent news items of Dem/Lib tolerance. Here is what I have so far:
Democrats, the party of Tolerance Republicans, the extremist right wing.
Where do the terms left and right come from? It is most probably from the bible: Ecclesiastes 10:2 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) 2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
These are specific examples of Democrat Tolerance:
1. Sam wore a Romney-Ryan campaign shirt to class on Friday at Charles Carroll High School. Thats when she said her honors geometry teacher singled her out. First she told me to get out of class, then I say, no, and she goes in the hallway and she says, This girl is wearing a Romney-Ryan shirt, said Sam. She says the teacher called in an assistant who pretended to draw on the shirt with a marker then demanded she take it off, saying this is a Democratic school. The teacher, who is African American, allegedly implied Sam was uninformed, likening it to the KKK. The teacher said, Are your parents Republican? and I said, I dont know, and she said, Thats like her wearing a KKK shirt because she knows nothing about it, said Sam. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/10/04/political-t-shirt-worn-at-port-richmond-high-school-stirs-up-controversy/ And now is leaving the school because of threats, harassment, and liberal tolerance: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/10/10/girl-wont-return-to-port-richmond-school-where-romney-t-shirt-flap-erupted/
2. Democrats are destroying, stealing, and defacing Romney signs, and trying to intimidate those that display: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxDzPyd4XX0
3. Actress Stacey Dash has endorsed Romney after voting for Obama in 2008. She is being harassed for that, not boycotted, but intimidated. Called a traitor and uncle tom, etc for falling off the Dem Plantation. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xu7qej_stacey-dash-speaks-out-against-harrassment-for-endorsing-a-republican-candidate_news
Please and events with links that I can add.
That is not where t6he terms “left” and “right” come from.
Nice Bible verse, though.
Right and Left go back to the French Revolution, to where the members sat in the Legislative Assembly which first met in October 1791. The more conservative members were on the right and the more radical members were on the left of the room where they met.
Bus driver, upset that boys parents have Romney sign in their yard, tells 12 year old that his mother should have aborted him.
“Left” and “Right” come from the National Assembly of France after the Revolution.
“The terms “left” and “right” appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the king to the president’s right and supporters of the revolution to his left.”
The party of pie throwing:

“Online, liberals far less tolerant than normal people”
The Power of Media Propaganda Programming....
Because most here on FR are well-informed, many forget just how powerful media programming is on the uninformed.
When GoProud, a gay conservative group, endorsed Romney for president, the supposedly tolerant Joy Behar said on Al Gores Current TV, Could it be that the GoProud guys are just attracted to Mitt Romney’s sons?
Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a dumb twat and a cu#t. Yet Obama accepted 1 million in campaign cash from him. (which according to Maher, based on Obama’s debate performance, Obama apparently spent on “weed”)

Any international forum is almost by default a socialist forum. Best case. More likely Stalinist or Maoist or Jihad.
June 10, 2009 David Letterman made a joke about the Palin’s attendance at a Yankees game in which he suggested A-Rod (Yankees Third Baseman Alex Rodriquez) impregnated her daughter during the game. (The daughter in attendance was 14-year-old Willow).
Added, thanks.
Here are a few gems on Sarah Palins mentally handicapped child:
That strange man yelling unintelligibly at Sarah Palin? Hes merely a lowly shepherd proclaiming the birth of our savior. Today is the day we come together to celebrate the snowbilly grifters magical journey from Texas to Alaska to deliver to the America the great gentleman scholar Trig Palin.
Why just celebrate tax day today, April 18th? Its also Trig Paxson Van Palins 3rd birthday. His mom went to a lot of trouble to leak amniotic fluid over 8 states to make sure that he arrived in this world somewhat alive,
After a 6 year appears in a video giving top ten reasons not to vote for Obama, liberals post some very tolerant reaction. Here is a few samples:
“Where is Jerry Sandusky when you really need him? This kid need a shower”
“Go die of aids and take your family with you. It can’t happen fast enough. Go die in a car crash you trash.”
“Hopefully an illegal alian will kill your racist ass and your parents too”

Here’s a big story in Philadelphia highlighting the “tolerance” of democrats. This poor girl was harassed by multiple teachers and students for wearing a Romney shirt on dress-down day. Now she has to leave for a new school to avoid getting killed.

It is a site made up of mostly expat males in Thailand. Probably 60% European, 5% US, 10% Aussie/NZ, and everyone else.
It is amazing how us politics has a large following on the site. But the hardcore leftists come from the US.
