"Abelist"?
She the map at link. Short version: "hate" is concentrated away from the uber-liberal coasts.

This map proves it. “Hate” tweets are originating from parts of the country that have people in them.

Obviously they didn't include "teabagger", "right-wing", "Christian fundamentalist", "bitter clinger", or "patriot" as hate speech.
Otherwise the coasts would light up like a Christmas holiday tree

Do they dare plot the locations where Communist and jihadi (yah,I know...same thing) tweets come from?

Put me down as a TRUE hater of Communism.
Yeah, it will be a new category for the map-making Libs at Humboldt State, but there still are a few of out here in Flyover Country who HATE Communism - - - .

As with all thses studies, “fate” and “bigotry” is defined from the Leftist perspective where whites, heterosexuals, and Christians are predtermined to be hateful while all others are victimns.
Form the article: “Of the geotagged tweets containing hateful slurs, 150,000 of them were determined to have negative connotations. They discovered 41,306 tweets containing the word “nigger” and 95,123 tweets referenced “homo,” among other terms.”
So that’s 150K negative, hateful slurs, and 136K involve “nigger” or “homo”. That leaves only the possibility of 14K anti-white or anti-Christian Tweets, but we all know that researchers would find a lot more than that if this was an honest, non-agenda driven study.

Well, you know. It all really boils down to what these so-called ‘researchers’ define as ‘hate’, doesn’t it?

Surprisingly the highest concentration of Abelist tweeting occurred in Cripple Creek Colorado where 1 in 10 tweets included the word cripple.

Maybe somewhere along the line, someone will point out that you can (and should) hate the sin while loving loving the sinner. After all, that's what the cross stands for - God's love for us and His hatred of sin. The cross with God himself on it was was the only way he could utterly and completely judge and condemn sin without destroying the sinner who he loves.
As with most things, the Left wants confusion, here, mixing hate of sin with hate of the sinner. It's about time we shouted out the difference.

Lots of hate-tweeting by illegals crossing Texas border.

These students were doubtless graded on the number of hateful tweets they were able to count.
I wonder who paid for this exercise in stupidity? Could it have been the US taxpayer?

Humboldt State? Those people are so chronically stoned on marijuana they can’t even tie their shoes. Design a non biased study? Analyze data?
