Seriously, what’s your point? People have all sorts of criteria about who they date. I don’t think I’d date a boy who I couldn’t talk to about (either) books or politics. Does that make me intolerant? And if someone’s political beliefs really turned me off, to the extent that I’d normally wonder of someone what respect I’d have for them, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t date them. I could be wrong, after initial disagreement, I could find I really get along with someone, but it’s a good time-serving indicator, often acted on unconsciously.

Chad,

The buzz boys have gone over the atmosphere in Boystown at length. There are threads on how they were attacked physically and verbally; even on their old site, hardly an issue of disagreeing politically. How many of their posts did you read? Did you even read all of the one? No, of course not.

Tammy, you forgot about the Libertarians and PUMAs too.

Chad: How is it that you quote Hillbuzz, but earlier claim you’ve never read their site? How could you possibly understand their intent without reading the entire post?
You couldn’t, that’s why.

Conservatives and independents are swarming the Hillbuzz site in droves.
I don’t see as many here, but after reading such idiotic interpretations of their posts(that none seem to have read) I can see why.
Well, back to a more enlightening and intelligent site!
This one is neither enlightening nor funny.
Ta!

sure amy, the exclusion of words like c*** or b**** doesn’t preclude the possibility that simon was mysogynist or sexist. but all that does is underscore the ambiguity of the hillbuzz post. where, in the hillbuzz post, do see any indication that simon was mysogynist? or even unreasonable? all we know is that simon said he hated palin, and that alone was sufficient for the boys hillbuzz to tell him to buzz off. you assert that hillbuzz is open to dating people that criticize palin, providing that their criticism is reasonable (whatever that means). yet you don’t point to anything in the actual post to support this assertion. as i said before, i definitely see some intolerance in the hillbuzz post, but it’s not coming from the lefties.

Hound–please find where I have said all liberals hate America. Please also address points I have made (in posts too numerous to mention) about my liberal friends whose company I enjoy despite our policy differences.

Thanks.

I don’t understand. After all the diatribes about how liberals hate America blah blah blah, you want to date one? Why would any liberal date someone who obviously has such a low opinion of their world view and their values?

This complaint comes up often from gay Republicans and I always find it baffling. Why not go online and find some other conservatives to date? That would seem to be an obvious solution.

Especially when I was chatting up a potential date. How knee-jerk my hate for Obama must be that I insert it innapropriately into a situation where it is obviously out of place and the opinion unasked for.

Sorry Chad, but if I started talking about how much I hated Obama (which I don’t) and that he was muslim and a Kenyan, but didn’t call him a n– or a c–, how reasonable would you think I was about liberals? I think most would decide right there I was probably not worth the effort. Simply leaving off the pejorative racial words while still exhibiting the frothing at the mouth behavior does not make me a great gal.

What’s hilarious is that some of us were speculating off-line how the troll brigade would respond to this item; and the lefties behaved exactly as predicted.

sorry amy and dan, but i think you guys are wrong about your characterization of hillbuzz. again, i quote the hillbuzz’s actual post: “…simon was hitting everything out of the park until he started talking about how much he hated sarah palin…simon DIDN’T toss out the usual gay male grenades at palin: calling her a c***, a b****…” (my emphasis) it’s a little unclear about what simon actually said, but it doesn’t seem explicitly mysogynist to me (if you see something different, point it out, please). simon was just giving his opinion, and doing so in an unoffensive manner. but even though simon expressed his opinion without resorting to profanity or name-calling, he was still deemed undateable. i think it’s fair to say that when the hillbuzz guys say they won’t date you if you “talk smack” about hillary or palin, they aren’t talking about only mysogynist or sexist criticism.

i’ve never had occassion to read hillbuzz, but the more i look at it, the less authentic it seems. i question whether its writers were ever truly democrats, liberals or hillary supporters.

I think the people here defending inter-party dating are missing the HillBuzz fellas’ point. They are not talking about rejecting Democrats or even leftists who may disagree with their point of view. They’re talking about people who are demonstrating hateful and misogynistic behavior. They are perfectly willing to be friends with people who disagree with Palin, but not people who spout off hateful rants about her.

I don’t think this applies to all relationships. My mom is a liberal and my dad a conservative. The three of us have had many interesting discussions and the fact that they are different politically, I think, actually strengthens their relationship.

“I’m not the one supporting an unhealthy and creepy obsession with an infant who has Down Syndrome. ”

Huh? And who is? Obama? Me? What are you talking about you decrepit old pederast lover.

nd you, the gross and revolting fool that you are, think you are supporting their argument by demonstrating that you prefer pederasts to anyone who would admire and support our president, or who might support health care reform, or keeping our economy out of a depression etc.

Jeezus H.! You just sink deeper and deeper into a pit of dumb with every post. I’m not the one supporting an unhealthy and creepy obsession with an infant who has Down Syndrome.

What’s more, if you gave a sweet rat’s ass about keeping the economy out of a depression, you would have laughed Maobama’s sorry, crooked ass back to Chicago.

“Seriously, I hold pederastic felchers in higher regard than the people you surround yourself with and defend.”

Great TGC. Thank you for clarifying the type of character that you have. I am sure you will win great support from your comrades here.

Ironic no? The whole point of this thread is how the left (!!!) supposedly is so dementedly intolerant that they cannot even date a conservative. And you, the gross and revolting fool that you are, think you are supporting their argument by demonstrating that you prefer pederasts to anyone who would admire and support our president, or who might support health care reform, or keeping our economy out of a depression etc.

Well played old man.
