You said — “You’ve gone from general nuisance to absolutely no credibility very quickly for suggesting that freepers can hate as much as jihadists.”
Well, I was a first-hand observer of the hate that was directed at Clinton. And really, that’s not such a bad thing. I’m pointing out that hate is not the criteria for being insane and crazy.
Keep in mind, even in the Bible God, Himself — *hates*. He hates sin. Christians are supposed to *hate*. They hate sin, also — like God does. In the same manner, Clinton was *greatly hated* — and for good reason. So, hate is not the bad thing that a lot of people make it out to be.
The key here is (at least according to the Bible, anyway) — is to hate without committing sin. Hate is good — for those things which are “hateful”. And that’s where it’s at.
So, yes, very much so — on Free Republic there was a lot of hatred towards Clinton and toward his abject and total lack of morals and his seemingly easy way of getting by with so many things. What a good reason to hate someone’s actions — for the total lack of morals.
Don’t be so “PC” Learn to hate the bad things. Love the good things.
As far as the Jihadists, they hate, too. And, I would venture, in perhaps the same manner that many of us do. They do hate America. So, since they “hate” America, does that mean that we cannot hate the absolute immorality of Clinton and his adminstration, because we “can’t hate like the Jihadist”? No. It’s the difference between the “right thing” and the “wrong thing”. You have to distinguish between the two.
So, *yes* — we can “hate” just as much as the Jihadists do. We hate that they are despicable and evil in their ways. Are we right? Yes, we are — by what the Word of God say — we sure are.
They hate us. Are they right? No, not at all. Their hatred is based upon evil and upon the lies and deceipt and destruction that comes from Satan (as the Bible tells us). Thus their hatred is of the devil, of satan, is “satanic”, is *against* the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I hope you’ve gotten a lesson in “hatred” here. We all must *hate* — but hate the right things to hate...

Don’t generalize about the hatred of Freepers being in the same league as the hatred of jihadists. Speak for yourself.
It belittles people you don’t know. It belittles yourself. I highly doubt you have the hate inside of you to behead and sacrifice children for the cause.
BTW, the Jesus Christ that I call my savior doesn’t want ust to hate like that either...I think it would make Jesus cry to see Christians hate like these satanic evil jihadists. Defend to the death, yes, but I’ll never become like those vile ingrate jihadists.
