The rhetoric of hate, whether from the right, left or in between, can help some loosely-wrapped people unwind a bit more. It's ok to kill the enemy, isn't it? It's ok for cops to shoot bad guys and for you to kill someone invading your home or threatening you, isn't it?

So if you see someone else as the enemy, the bad guy, or the invader you're justified in killing THEM, right?

There are very few things I can say I hate in this world.
Ironically, I hate hatred.
I hate haters.
If I can, I just avoid those people on Mudcat the way I avoid violent raving loonies on the street.

And to Bobert, who started this thread, and some of the rest of the folks here: I don't believe that most rational people like hanging around with folks who are pissed off, and ranting, and belittling people. The ones who do are your fellow haters. You're scary. You portray yourselves in a way that makes you seem you have no love or kindness in your hearts. I've met some of you, and you don't seem like haters in Real Life. Is this the real you I've met, or is it the real you that comes out in the rhetoric?

Anyone who might have wanted to sow seeds of hatred and anger in the American public has found fertile ground, and the shoots grow. If you want to put those sprouts in the sun and water them, well, it's your heart.

I just wonder what you think you'll harvest.
