...that's just your opinion. As far as I'm concerned, I've had it with their bullshit! All the while projecting their idiocy onto our side. Screw them. They've had plenty of time to come to their senses. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that most of them are stupid and are idiots that cannot think for themselves. They are the kids that dropped out of school or failed in school and are so scared of the world as a result that arming themselves to the teeth is the only way they feel safe. That is why they can be manipulated into supporting evil policies. I don't want a stupid idiot's vote for the sake of a vote.

You have your more patient way of dealing with them, and I have had it up to here with them. You try to reason with them, I prefer to smack them upside the head. Six of one, a half dozen of the other.

How do you get "demonizing" out of this thread? That presupposes good/evil constructs, but the ancianita May 2014 #5

Ok, that's what "demonize" means. buzzcola May 2014 #6

Okay so please give some examples of demonizing here. Seriously. I don't see it. ancianita May 2014 #7

"demonize"--portray as wicked and threatening. buzzcola May 2014 #8

i don't see many Democrats demonize . I see far more claims of God, and demonizing by Republicans.nt Leme May 2014 #9

You do realize "demonize" is not a religious term? buzzcola May 2014 #11

And yet its root is "demon," a term often used by the religious conservative right, among others. ancianita May 2014 #15

Apply that definition to quoted evidence from this thread. If you can't, your claim is baseless. ancianita May 2014 #12

What does demonize mean to you? Please respond with your own definition. buzzcola May 2014 #17

I'm not the one making the claim that others are "demonizing," you are. You have the burden of proof ancianita May 2014 #20

That poster suggested we shouldn't demonize conservatives and now he/she has you discussing ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #22

I get the drift but I'm not biting. ancianita May 2014 #24

Nice. First "demonizing" was challenged. Now it's, Why shouldn't we demonize them. buzzcola May 2014 #28

Tell me this, while you're coming in here like a bigshot telling us how to act... ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #29

Do what you want. You guys sound like kids that need to be sent the principal. buzzcola May 2014 #30

You guys? That implies that you are not one of us guys. MIRT ALERT! nt ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #31

I'm a polite, rational person. You guys are not. Too complicated for you? buzzcola May 2014 #32

Then politely tell me why we should not demonize confederate assholes who contribute ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #34

Then prove. your. claim. That's what we do in DU. Stubborn insistence on your rightness fails here. ancianita May 2014 #46

You thought "demonize" referred to literal Devils. Cannot take your position seriously. buzzcola May 2014 #47

Buzzcola joined DU in 2005, didn't post until Saturday CreekDog Jun 2014 #54

You joined DU in 2005, your first post was this weekend CreekDog Jun 2014 #62

I don't see the value of conservatives. Tom Ripley May 2014 #10

Comedic relief? Shankapotomus May 2014 #25

While I appreciate the levity (really, I do), their stupidity is destroying our liberties, ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #33

I'm with you on that... Shankapotomus May 2014 #38

Confederate, goddamned fucking cons ARE demons! Every damn thing they do costs lives! ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #13

Calm down. Doing stupid evil isn't demonic, but humans who have to be, how can I say it ... ancianita May 2014 #18

They're all fucking evil. Dupes have to believe in what the killers, thieves, and con ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #21

Well, I'd prefer to think that dupes have redeemable capacities, and we can't get far with rhetoric ancianita May 2014 #23

"but they can't be dealt with when we come from your position." Well... ChisolmTrailDem May 2014 #27

Let's just agree Shankapotomus May 2014 #49

I find this to be more reasonable, IMHO. nt AverageJoe90 Jun 2014 #52

I don't see how Shankapotomus May 2014 #16

I don't see the value of showing them anything but utter contempt Doctor_J May 2014 #35
