Free Republic posted an article about legislation proposed for a Slave Memorial in Washington, D.C. Among the barrage of nasty comments were: "Paradoxically, it's why slavery was RIGHT, in some weird sense. It's a condition of our existence, and in particular, a condition of black Americans' existence." Another: "Hell, what would it look like, a body swinging from a rope!" This is just the tip of their daily iceberg.

Now how do we know he didn't post those comments himself? That hardly represents opinion on FR. How dare he imply that it does.

You know, for those of us who have engaged in debate on liberal discussion boards, his implication that hate only exists on the Right is monstrously muddle-headed. Take a gander on discussion groups on salon.com or motherjones.com or any number of 'activist' or 'social justice' sites and you'll find nearly continuous misanthropic statements from legions of malcontents and misfits. Sometimes it takes a little while for the politically correct facade to fall away, but make no mistake, hard-core liberals like this guy are saturated in resentment, a resentment that invevitably is nudged into hate when their dreams of utopia are frustrated by those who do no agree with them -- it's an inevitable psychological path for the likes such as he. No hate on the Left? This guy lives in a fantasy land.

Normally I'd say, "Who cares? It's just one guy." Except that he does represent the mentality of a certain brand of intellectually light-weight Leftist which believes that all conservative thought and philosophy is the equivalent of the Republican Party, and that all Republicans are racist hate-mongering bigots.

Maybe the guy should look up the meaning of the word 'bigot'.

The quotes did come from the thread but one of them (the rope one) was from mhking who is a black man himself. I guess the author thinks that all black conservatives are racist against black people as well.
