"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true."

So if you find yourself hating Clinton, or hating Obama, or hating McCain, or hating all Republicans/Democrats, liberals/neo-cons...

...you might want to take the above quote to heart.

Because I do hear a lot of hate being spewed in these political threads by Obama supporters. So, if I am on anybody's "side" here, it is on the side of those who aren't spewing hatred.

I also see a tremendous amount of poisoned thinking--poisoned by hatred for those who are perceived as the "political enemy", that has led to a whole lot of confusing true with false, and false with true in these threads.
