ATTENTION--This is a perfect example of a bigot, I'm sure most of you repubs can identify with him.

You are a perfect example of an idiot. Let me help you with your education, or can you learn anything?

Bigot implies intolerance. If you are saying that I am intolerant of Obama because he is black, then you are an idiot. I tolerate, therefore I do not fit the definition of bigot. Remember, Obama is also half white. I won't go into that because the whole race thing is a liberal thing, not a conservative thing. Unlike the left, we don't rate people on their race, gender or sexual deviation. We just rate the person on their ethics, morality, experience and wisdom/common sense. Obama has not shown much of any of those traits. That doesn't make me a bigot, that makes me discerning.

I bet you are embarrassed about your spelling, right?

To answer you question, yes when and if the left's communism takes over power and executes all conservatives. That's when you won't have to be embarrassed by conservatives or the GOP.

I copy and pasted the title of the thread. It's not my title. I'm not the OP. I wondered if it was purposely misspelled as a dig.

You probably didn't realize it was misspelled, as did many others because as a title it would no be spell checked,

What you say is true, not that it matters if I agree or not.

"Bigotry is defined as “intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.” Notice that bigotry is not intolerance toward the opinions or beliefs of persons other than yourself, but intolerance of the other person. Bigotry is not simply disagreeing with what someone else believes; it is an unwillingness to tolerate or accept the person who holds those beliefs.

A little reflection on this definition will reveal that the vast majority of bigotry accusations populating the internet and in public discourse are not legitimate ones. On the contrary, they are the consequence of a mistaken view of tolerance that is itself a product of a warped postmodern epistemology."

Calling people idiots doesn't persuade anyone to read your post with an open mind.

I'm still sorting things out and trying to understand others.
Thank-you for your post. I leaned something. I had to read it a couple of times before I could get past that you didn't like anything the man has ever done or believes but not dislike the man because he's black.

When I read all the bigotry and hatred on the threads it takes more effort to spot the broadminded.

Did you cut and paste that also?

No. I'll explain.
Spellcheck does not check grammar. That's why spellcheck did not suggest "not" instead of no. The word no was spelled correctly.

You are right. That was my spontaneous response to being called a bigot. It was not cool, but I bet it got that person's attention.

Chill. I was just giving you a hard time because of your negative post regarding the GOP. I make just as many, if not more mistakes as you. Just jerking your chain. But, I would caution you to be careful about throwing stones until after you open the window. :duck:

Why are republicans not embarrassed when Donald Trump goes on national TV and talks about the size of his 'manhood'? Is this the way the leader of the free world speaks? If Barack Obama had uttered those words back in 2008, he would be history. Putin probably loves this kind of language, but sane world leaders think Trump is nuts, according to today's news.

No he wouldn't. The Left would just cry racism and Obama would get a pass.

I don't know who reads Al Jazeera America. Is it read all over the world? Is it dismissed as Un American.

I searched for Trump at their site.
Search | Al Jazeera America

I didn't see any titles that sound positive.

I believe that you have taken the comment out of context. If you are speaking of his response to Rubio's comment, when he said Trump had small hands and you know what that means? Isn't it about time that you liberals grow some hair and start getting over your girlie attitude of worrying about every word someone says. I have yet to hear you liberals complain about the vulgar language on prime time TV, where teenagers use the foul language and are portrayed consuming alcohol. I have no interest or liking of Trump, but he does bring out the sissies on the left. For that, I applaud him. Because I do enjoy teh entertainment. He might even earn my vote if he ends up running against Hillary. He can't be any worst than what we have in there now, and definitely no worst than having the criminal, liar Hillary in the White House. If I was on the left, I would be embarrassed to be supporting Hillary after all the crimes, and lies she has perpetrated. I see a lot more to be embarrassed about her than a few off color remarks coming from Trump. I guess you didn't have any problems with Biden's remark regarding Obamacare, right?

Are republicans not embarrassed by Donald Trump calling women dogs and saying they should be treated like (expletive deleted)? Someone should tell the brilliant Mr Trump that women make up 53% of voters in the US.

Who will ever forget Karl Rove running around back stage at Fox News on election night 2012 yelling no, no it can't be over, and the vote counters telling him that 'yes, we are 99.999999999% sure Obama will carry Ohio and with that goes the whole enchilada'. (Well, they probably didn't say enchilada).
