Not exactly shocking news for those exposed to them for years, but the respected Pew Research Center has determined that political liberals are far less tolerant of opposing views than regular Americans.

In a new study, the Pew Center for the Internet and American Life Project confirmed what most intelligent Americans had long sensed. That is, whenever they are challenged or confronted on the hollow falsity of their orthodoxy -- such as, say, uniting diverse Americans -- liberals tend to respond defensively with anger, even trying to shut off or silence critics. (i.e. photo above of President Obama reacting to Boston hecklers.)

The new research found that instead of engaging in civil discourse or debate, fully 16% of liberals admitted to blocking, unfriending or overtly hiding someone on a social networking site because that person expressed views they disagreed with. That's double the percentage of conservatives and more than twice the percentage of political moderates who behaved like that.

Being "tolerant" means being tolerant of other views...it does not mean being tolerant of ignorance, bigotry, idiocy, or foolishness...which is why those nice ol' conservatives are always crying about those mean ol' liberals telling them to stop being ignorant, bigoted, foolish, idiots.

Fish on...

P.S. I've "blocked" or "unfriended" exactly "zero" people on anything for being a right wing tool...I enjoy having them around, they are amusing as heck.

I have, however, been blocked by right wing tools who don't like having their ignorant views countered by things like facts, or logic.

See?

Fish on...

All of which are exhibited regularly and consistently by our liberal "friends". That they fail to see the error of their pious ways does NOT mean everyone else can't plainly see it. And just because you can't or won't accept your bigotry, idiocy and ignorance doesn't mean that you're not a bigoted, ignorant idiot.

Rage on.

Conservatives and Liberals... Democrats, and Republicans...


guess what they are...


GANGS, they just dont pull drive bys and rape mothers....

yet...

Name calling......the study left out name calling.......wth kind of study is that?

It is customarily the opening response to any view opposing the Left-of-Center's blindered world. The unspoken MO is to reduce the bar to 3rd grade level names for the offender, rather than condemning the view.

I guess when you got nothing to run with, then hanging on to a many-years-old high point and driving off any opposing points of reason is the as good as it gets.



:plop: (that's the sound of heads retreating from sight)

Liberals and obama voters do...rioting and property destruction also. In fact if you were to ask most prisoners who they would vote for, if they could in fact vote, by and large you'd hear them say obama. Of those that don't say obama you'd have 'guys' like shthead say he'd vote, if in fact 'he' could vote, for Charles Manson. Hell 'he's' remodeling a room in 'his' trailer for ol' Charlie as we speak.

Conservatives are usually the ones accused of tax fraud and the like.

Would a tissue or a Nuk help you deal with the liberal meanies you've encountered over the years?

Pew should be embarassed that they actually took the time to come to these findings. WTF cares? I mean besides assorted donkeys and assclowns and such.

If you say so.

You don't need a Nuk, too..........do you?

First...WTF is a Nuk?

Second I don't need anything from a hit and run shorty...though I've no doubt you buy plenty of tissues.

Third I don't GAF what you like, dislike or approve of...nobody is forcing you to read this. And most likely somebody is reading this to you.

Go use a tablespoon of the cheap gas ($111 per/bbl) that Vedder is creamin' his Tough Skins over and set yourself on fire.

Never heard the term "Nuk" mesef, but would guess it's a Binkie, pacifier, fake nipple, suckling toy.

wild guess....but I'm sure if Dan provides said "Nuk" it will be on fire.

Ladies........ladies........

I was just funnin' ya.

RvW must have one tied on already. He doesn't usually get so butt-hurt.

I bet a nuk would help. Maybe a tampon, too.

The tampon won't do any good until a good douche is applied to remove the sand.

Fish on...

LOL......gawd, having KK, Todd, and Jaek running around, pushing each other out of the way to get the first dart thrown is as comical as it gets.

It's akin to being a puppeteer!

Jump KK!

Dance Toddler!

It's Aboootime for another one-liner from Sandy Crack as well!

Performance forthcoming!!

Like the conservatards are very tolerant!


Fishy

Nuk? Are you sure you didn't mean Snuke?

Tyin' one on doesn't sound so bad but it's gettin' towards bedtime and morning comes quicker as I get older. Plus I hope team Adam kicks team Christinas [Bleeeeep!] on the Voice.

Sarcasm often gets mistaken for anger online...just like not gettin' paid in Cartegena is mistaken for whining.

Goodnight fellas.

...Oh and BTW phvck anyone that thinks I don't take this chit serious.

I guess Richard Lugar isn't conservative enough anymore and is getting beat in his primary by a teabagger.

Most of you "conservatives" would have been considered "liberal" 50 years ago.

Pew Research is conservatively biased. Darn the conservative media.
