303. I am saying that
It's not right to pronounce an entire group of people as something based on what some of them do or say.


Not all cops are brutes.

Not all Republicans are stupid pigs who care only about themselves.

Not all teabaggers are "racist"

That is what I'm saying.


People here decide that EVERYONE in a particular hated group is the same way. They're ALL presumed guilty of the same thing.

Although the ironic part is that some of the same behavior on the "Liberal" side is fine. What behavior people are willing to tolerate seems to depend largely on which side of the political spectrum the behavior happened.

That is what offends me. Hypocrisy.
