Has ATS become A Right Wing Side Show!?!?

I've had the pleasure *sarcasm*, of coming onto ATS the past few months to only

see the spread of Right Wing hate and a disturbing trend of Republicans trying to

tear this website and this country apart. I'd say at my count there are about 6 new

threads daily stating the exact same thing that was posted the day before but just

worded differently.

Example:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
www.abovetopsecret.com...
www.abovetopsecret.com...

So alright there's three different threads posted over a series of days that basically

tackle the same subject matter but just have an added spin involved. I can site a

ton of other examples with the biased view of the Right Wing aimed toward

different subject matters and get this... even that same one. These people claim

that the Democrats are the Facists, the Nazis, the Communists but in my eyes the

Right Wing has become a single voice of hatred because whomever you talk to

young, old, big, small, the answers are always the same. 'Obama is going to go

down as the one who started the Revolution!' 'I voted for Mccain the real american

hero!' 'Obama and all those democrats are Nazis!' These examples are just a few;

go have a talk with a republican and after your done with that travel across town

and discuss the subject without another republican, you'll get pretty much the

same answer with maybe a few slight differences and I mean very slight. I proved

this with two of my co-workers the other day, I talked to our Food Service Sup. and

then I went and talked to our bottom of the barrel maintenance man... guess what

I predicted exactly what would be said and had three people that witnessed this

follishness. So my point here is that the Right Wing, the Republicans, are the ones

that are becoming (if aren't already) the facists, the nazis, the communists,

because one disturbing trend with these types of political parties is the ONE VOICE

ideal. I ask anyone who doesn't agree with this to go out and have a series of

discussions with your fellow americans and you tell me the result. Is there a bigger

conspriacy happening right under our noses? Is the religious and political views

that these people fear actually the ideals they are producing? Are we going toward

a Christian type day of reckoning because they want it to happen? In this one mans

eyes, we may very well be.

Your accusations are completely unfounded.

I especially take offense to the dissecting the health care bill thread. You could have easily jumped in and took the claims and interpreted them on your own. If you would have read the thread you would have noticed that most of the claims were either false or misleading.

Also to paint people with such a broad brush as being "republicans" is being disingenuous and inherently false, sure some people maybe, but the majority of people on this site are political atheist and don't subscribe to any political party.

If you have a problem with the "right wing republican" bend in those threads you are entirely free to start your own threads with a "left wing" bend.

I've been able to look at it from an international standpoint.
a kicker for me is that many independants are now against obama.

were you expecting the two people you talked to to have alternate views yet still belong to the same party? I don't understand how that's shocking. Or did they say all democrats are nazis? I don't really believe that, unless maybe you tricked them into it.

What i've found is alleged right wing "extremists", or, people that don't agree with you, are concerned at the hypocrisy of the democrats. Fresh in memory are the photos of bush as a nazi, antibush protesting, and just talked about today today, pelosi saying that letting your voices be heard is a good thing. fine.
however now that the tables have turned, and you're in charge, all protesting is called racist and extreme.
It's unarguably the most hypocritical reversal i've seen, and maybe the most obvious.
I don't know, i'd be scared to if the country i lived in was built around those wanting something outta my pocket.

I have a problem with both parties. Instead of saying the Republicans or Democrats are Nazi's maybe we should realize that both parties are corrupted and filled with hate.
I belong to no party, I am my own.

Opposition to Nazi's is a good thing. Nothing hateful about that.

The definition of Nazi is National Socialism, the expanision of state control of the economy. Since this is exactly what Obama is doing the comparison is unavoidable. He has already taken over banks, autos, now he wants to take over the medical field. How much more can he take over before we call him the Fuhrer?

Economic definitions:

Recession: When your neighbor loses his job.
Depression: When you lose your job.
RECOVERY: When Obama loses his job!

I want Obama to fail....for the sake of our country!

I see this as simply partisan clowns who where whining about Obama being appointed President rather then the TPTB picking McCain.I am sad to say there are still people on both of sides of the so-called political divide who are totally under the delusion that there are differences between both parties and voting actually makes a difference.

I hope the majority here would be considered right wing...

hell the media considers veterans, patriots, militia, constitutionalist all to be right wing.

So hell call me a right wing extremist. And I would hope the americans on this site are right wing and want to remove big government and that government should stick to the constitution.

Politicians that take a dump on the constitution should be removed and prosecuted and in the most severe cases, executed for treason in the worst case scenario, and according to treason law, it is still punishable by death.

And by going by what is 'right wing' today, Id hope all americans are right wing. Course I know there are many that do support communism, socialism, etc. Heck every presidential election there is someone that runs as a communist. It's just the other parties never get any attention.

So if people really like socialism then they should vote for that candidate.

Sad thing is there is no difference between the democrat party and republican party anymore though, since right wing hate big government, yet both bush and obama are increasing government 10 fold.

Fair enough, leabeling the entire hate on republicans is a bit biased but the people I deal with are always republicans this may just be where I live but hey it's the truth from the perspective of people I talk too. But in any case I was a bit biased.

I agree completely, the goal is the same for both parties.
Also, voting doesn't make a difference when you are swayed who to vote for, or maybe they were Chosen to run.
And, have you ever seen someone run for president that was not well off??

The best forum communities I have ever used catered to the liberal mindset and ran off conservatives & religious loonies. It is a shame ATS can't do the same. The fact is (proven scientifically) that conservatives are not open to differing viewpoints. In fact the more evidence they are presented with the firmer their twisted stance becomes. This site has a conservative christian cabal that almost renders it useless.

O didn't trick them into anything they said word for word the three phraises I wrote. These are two very outspoken individuals and I believe the exact quote was "Obama is a Socialist Nazi **SNIP**

Exactly my point I am expected a 90-10 posting ratio here to people against what I said. This is my point.

You guys are giving everything a lite touch, the influx of anti-Obama threads directly or indirectly stems from People thinking he will roll out the red carpet for Mexicans and Blacks when it comes to affordable health care and other Government programs.

Apparently the elitist on this site want quality health care all to themselves, they don't care if the poor and middle class die. They probably would prefer a thinning out of the populace anyway.

Lets not play games and hide our true colors, most people who make radical political themed threads or either Bible thumpers, racist gun totting revolutionaries or just plain ignorant throwbacks.

When a Republican is in office or controls government people say "Liberals are running the site!"

When it's a Liberal in office of controlling government, people say "The Conservatives are running the site!!"

How is this possible? ... Well the majority of people don't like either party, or any form of government. So the supporters of one side get upset that the general populace doesn't like their "man" so to speak, and they make immature asinine threads like this one complaining about it.

Irony being the majority of people vocal against the dems now being accused as "Right wing nut jobs" were vocal against Reps and were once considered "Left wing nut jobs"



Welcome to ATS. Get over it.

ps (anyone sick of these stupid threads yet?)

I can somewhat agree with that the people here have lost site of the American principal of loving ones country. Instead most of the time it's hate your country untill it's convenient to like it.

reply to post by Rockpuck


Geez I can clearly see what side your on, and the disturbing trend here is the threads that are against our president and our country. Someones jealous.

reply to post by Better Mouse Trap


Clearly but it seems people are walking around with blinders on, whatever you can see what I'm talking about by what is going to be the majority on this tread. The biased.

When Bush was in office, I was called a Liberal.

Now Obama is in office, and I am called a right winger.

In reality, all they (and you) told me was you buy hook line and sinker into the 2 party illusion and ignorantly believe anyone who is against something is automatically the "enemy".

People who did not vote for Obama and do not support him have the agenda of undermining
him from day one. They will blow up all insignificant trivia about him way out of proportion.
This is the job of Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage and many others. People who are not smart
enough to know they are being brainwashed listen to them.

ATS grants people a freedom of speech therefore what is happening is to be expected.
Programmed zombies will ape and parrot what these talk show hosts say.

(The freedom of speech on ATS is of course not unlimited but there is a enough to
get your point across if you are skillful.)

People who are unskillful at debating their ideas shout (like many idiots showing up at these
town meetings) and have been programmed like zombies to repeat moronic catch phrases.
For instance I heard one woman shout "I want the country back to the way the founding Fathers
had it." Heh heh, this is hilarious given the fact that women did not have the right to vote
until 1920.

The type of person I was expecting to show your post says it all my friend but you don't seem to relize that at this point if Obama fails... so does the country. idiocracy anyone.
