Al Sharpton speech

Why does it seem like the right wing has such a visceral reaction to certain people? Just mention the name Moore, Clinton (either one), Sharpton, and people just froth at the mouth. The left seems to respond to Bush, Limbaugh, etc. with a shrug, "Yeah, they're idiots. So what?" Is it because of the lack of tolerance with anyone who doesn't agree with the party line on the right? Is it because they are so insecure, they don't like hearing that they may be wrong?

Please tell me your joking! If you even type the word "Bush" here in ATS you get dozens of dems and libs jumping down your throat telling you how much they hate him and how much he deserves to die. I'm not the biggest Bush fan either, but I know that anyone who claims they are gets flamed immediately. Sorry, but it's true.

No different from a lot of republicans (though they'll deny it in public) so what's your point?

I'll agree to the notion that Sharpton is a racist and extremist freak. That's why he'll never be President. Let us not forget that both parties have people like this supporting them though. Republicans love to welcome Ann Coulter with open arms and that women is just downright scary. I think she is not only a racist but hates mankind in general. She talks about killing her own countrymen and attacks limbless Vietnam vets. Adolf Hitler would be madly in love. Neo-Nazi would be an understatement. As much as I can't stand Sharpton I'd have to say he's a lightweight in the promotion of racial hatred compared to Coulter. I'll at least give Sharpton credit for not being a coward. Coulter is the kind of person that will never take on a person face to face but only talk about them while they are not in the same room. The bottom line is that neither one of these morons is good for America.
