The most extreme examples that come to mind are the T.E.A. party events and what actually happens at them and how they are reported on, by the liberal media as opposed to events such as the protests at the G-20 conference, liberal demonstrations at campuses, etc. Would you care to clarify your definition of 'Hate Speech' and 'Racist speech' ? I really am interested.

Sorry...that is just spin. All you have to do is look at some of the things posted in this forum. Hate Speech, for example only would be to call someone a Fag, Queer etc. and I don't need to use the word for Racist speech. In this string someone said, in response to a poster, "I think someone needs a hug" that was labeled as liberal hate speech.
I find the TEA party events to be very scary and hate filled....just take a look at the signs and guns. But the G-20 demos scare you...sometimes I think that liberals get painted with the board brush of anarchists. Many of the protesters in Seattle were actually anarchists......
In my opinion the either party looks the other way or rationalizes any untruths but then sounds the alarm when they think the other party has lied.
So for example I think Clinton lied about having sex and I also think that GW Bush lied about WMD and the War on Terror. So what do you think?
