First of all.... just because I didn't comment about whether or not the "racist idiot" statement was hateful or not, does not in any way mean that I don't think it is. I was under the impression that the article made the assumption that it was indeed hateful, as even Harris-Perry felt the need to apologist.
What I did fail to clearly state (apparently) is the real purpose of my post.... and that was to say that conservatives stooping to the same hateful tactics serves no purpose except to point out that we can be as hateful as the liberals.
That said, I do very much agree with you that it is way past time for us to stand up to the left's hate and call it for what it is. However, we must do so in a way that will point out clearly that it is wrong. Doing that WILL serve a purpose. Your graphic made fun of the woman's facial features and hair which is meaningless in the big scope of things, she can't help what she looks like. And I can't help but say that I like her hairdo. Hair like hers is not easy to manage in typical white/European/western styles, and plaiting it the way she does is a beautiful style, though apparently different from what you like to see.
Getting back to the point.... it would be better to respond to the left's hate speech by immediately holding their feet to the fire and pointing out that their comments serve no purpose other than to show their hate for people who do not agree with their politics, religion, way-of-life, etc. whatever the case may be. Bluntly ask if they would be saying the same thing to another liberal (in this case, ie: name a few Hollywood stars who have adopted black babies. In other words, to mimic the hateful action is fruitless.... to truthfully point out the sin hopefully will sway some people to the truth.
My FRiend, in closing I want to say that I too have been all too guilty of poking fun at liberals.... after all it is so easy as they seem to write their own jokes so-to-speak. But as the situation in America has become clearly emergency status, I feel more and more that we have to make every effort count. And the more I pray for God to intervene, the more He shows me my sins and commands that the change must start with me.... with us.... with us Christian conservatives. For if and when we get our act together, then He will answer our prayers and save our land. I am praying that He will help me to be able to stand up and face-to-face defend right.

You don’t need to stoop to their levels in order to fight back but you have to be willing to call them out regardless the terminology.
I think the advice given by the poster in post #12, letting Christ take care of it, rather than passing judgment ourselves, may be good advice.
see post 41. . I agree. . including for my posts too
This woman is a Leftist. By your own words, she is Godless and therefore outside His grace.
"Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
Matthew 25:41

Judge as you would wish to be judged. You think you are bullet proof here because of technicalities, but you are not. God can still work spiritual blowback to you.
God has an eye on all, as the godless may later relent and repent of their rejection. You seem so eager to flush them off the scene or revel in their damnation and in any wise see them frozen. I think full-bore Calvinst Gods come from the imagination of vengeance-rigid people (not that the Arminians should be excused, as they envision a weak God whose salvation cannot cope with certain events, rather than moving mountains to see that nobody who exercised saving faith is lost again). The actual God exercises enough determinism to guarantee that “Nobody shall snatch them out of [His] hand” and also grants enough freedom to empower “Whosoever will.”
P.S. And when someone who was godless DOES do that... Katy bar the door. Those already of faith are likely to gripe and complain.
You are not holier-than-thou. Welcome to the list.
Pro-abortion Romney has spent years trying to create a national myth that Ronald Reagan was “adamantly pro-choice”, he has never apologized.
