How cute! He's learning to put words together, like a birdling leaving the nest!

Now, he just needs to master grammar and semantics, and maybe he, too, will one day fly!

The emphasis is for YOUR benefit, jmak.

Plus, you'd either have to be crazy or not know what you're getting into if you want to moderate a site amidst the company of MissileDog, Fly, Alex, and their ilk; though, they may all only be the same person at different parts in their life journey. (lol!)

That's where the hypocrisy lies, since you need it spelled out for you. If, however, you still disagree, I apologize. I forget that I'm walking on eggshells around you liberals, for fear you'll take offense. I should know better than to expect any sort of mutual understanding between the two of us, when you cling onto even the tiniest misused word you can in order to disagree.

If I were surrounded by people that held authoritarian, fascist views all the time, I'd probably go crazy, too.
A great example of hypocrisy: When a conservative discriminates against a person based on race - it is called Racism. When a liberal discriminates against a person based on race - it is called Affirmative Action.

I don't know about you guys, but I was raised that two wrongs don't make a right. Libtards, however are intellectually dishonest enough to justify this.

The feedback loop of cons not understanding what racism actually entails is always entertaining.

Please don't embarrass yourself by suggesting yours is the ideology of intellectual honesty. The daily deluge of RW dishonesty has created everything from a comedy network to a $2 trillion Iraq bill.

It also makes you question what his point is. Yes... everyone has to work hard. The people who acknowledge "white privilidge" are simply saying imagine how much harder you'd have to work if you didn't face discrimination.



It would be helpful if the author actually laid out what the "liberal privilege" is. A lot of this kind of poor partisan rantings fail to be specific. When you actually have to define something it becomes much to easy to dismiss. I would be curious what the author would say I received via this privilidge that I wouldn't have received if I was a Republican? I mean - I have never received an apartment or a job on the basis of my political beliefs. They have never been discussed in this realm. He's not actually saying anything.

Where is the proof that liberals think they are nicer then others? And who are the others? I've commonly acknowledged that Mormons seem like some of the nicest people I've met? Are they liberals? What is this based on?

Again... this is based on what? Is there some polling that indicates that liberals think they are more compassionate then Conservatives think they are?

Who identified as a liberal or conservative in elementary school?!??! WTF is this guy talking about? And yes... probably most kids in elementary school only demonstrate kindness through verbal declarations... that's the thing about most elementary kids... they don't have money or control how they spend their time. Who reads this and doesn't laugh at this part?

Its funny how he says this like its a bad thing that some child would be applauded for their intelligence. A good conservative will never be applauded for their intelligence?!?!

So the dumb liberals in elementary school aren't challenging the rules of math and science like a good conservative?! I'd also like to know what the proof where critical thinking isn't encouraged. If a kid doesn't renounce addition then he's not being critical? If he doesn't reject the science of gravity he's "just regurgitating on cue?"

Is this a reference to evolution? A kid gets through school and gets As in Reading, Writing and Arithmatic and now he's "in a bubble of self-deception." Once again we're never discussing the alternative here. Let's keep in mind that conservatives go through the same schools, can get the same grades... but they're not living in a bubble of self-deception? What in the world could he possibly be basing this on? Who, besides Cerveza, finds this compelling?

Let's pretend that this is correct. What's the point? Conservatives make best sellers out of books that call liberals treasonous, "If the Liberals Had any Brains they'd be Republicans", etc. Fox News doesn't regularly assure their viewers that they are superiour to liberals? They regularly use liberal as a slur. Even if this was entirely true about liberals it would make liberals no different then conservatives.

Again... this is another one of those things that's silly to be partisan about. Wouldn't it be accurate to say most politicians are unlikely to apologize? That they constantly blame the other side even for things that are their own fault? Again, the writer is a kettle calling the pot black.



This is easily the most laughable. Has that professor somehow remained completely deaf to RW radio? Has he never heard of Ann Coulter? This guy is literally (as another stated) taking the worst characteristics of his party and pretending that its all on the other side.

same as above. Any montage from the Daily Show demonstrates this beautifully.

It would be interesting to see some substative critiques of liberal ideas. But this pablum has the opposite of its intended effect, imo, that it just makes the people posting it look like they're wildly projecting (or just masters of cognitive dissonance)
If you want to shorten it, maybe I'll read more. It seems you keep saying the same thing repeatedly, though. The main controversies I've heard regarding "white privilege" occurred on college campuses. Maybe that's why you've never heard of it?

Basically, the author is irritated that liberals demand things with other people's money, yet claim they are compassionate. If you haven't seen the repeated demonization attempts against Republicans on some of the major news networks when they disagree with Democrats on funding, you must be insulated over at Fox News.

Dissecting a piece line-by-line like that just shows you're searching for a flaw, instead of honestly trying to comprehend.

Kurto,

You can dish it, but you can't take it. You don't like your sex life (or lack thereof) being mocked, yet you routinely call good people racist because they disagree with you on voter Id laws. As far as you know, they have never discriminated against someone on the basis of skin color or used a racial epithet, yet you call them "racists" because they are on the other side.

You are such a hypocrite and have the credibility of Michael Borovetz

No, liberals are irritated with how those people earned their money in the first place - quite often via the exploitation of other people, or the planet, or relaxed oversight.

The author never mentions liberals being compassionate with other people's money. The author mentions that liberals are told they are compassionate even when it's just words. He's focusing on liberals being able to be hypocritical and not be called out on it as a 'privilege' .

So, Unions who exploit their workers and shake them down for dues are ok?

It's doubtful the author knows what privilege means though.

Bush didn't have a kill list, did he? (Excuse me. "Disposition matrix", I think, has been the proper Orwellian term over the course of this administration.) Or, did he just not make it public? Mind linking some articles?

But, Bush did kick off the whole "Apocalypse in the Middle East, 20--" football, so I see what you're saying.

What makes these violations so disturbing is that the president can openly flaunt this power, and the majority look the other way.

Or maybe this:


Charges of black dependency make it sound as if every African American is automatically on welfare.
Regarding the book part, you realize that I was referencing real conservative best sellers, right? I think if you looked at the NYTimes best seller lists over the last 2 decades or so you're going to find a lot of big hits like the ones I was referencing and a much smaller liberal corollary. But the bigger point is that the liberals on this forum aren't the ones complaining like proph and cerveza about the other side calling them names while pretending their party is innocent.

For liberals to be as bad as cerveza we'd have to have fly complaining that conservatives call others names instead of taking the high road like he does.

Liberals can destroy the economy, but hey, no one could have done better. They can undermine the national security, but at least they were showing the appropriate humility. They can drive their country into bankruptcy, but this only confirms their compassion.
His audience obviously wasn't liberals, so it's easy for you to miss.

Maybe he should've used the word "Democrats", but aren't they interchangeable these days?

No, he's saying liberals get patted on the back for good intentions regardless of what they do, even if what they do is bad. He's not complaining about about tax is theft, "other people's money", or whatever.

The title of the article is a "nice" accusation.

The pairing of the word liberal and privilege is also "nice". Smells like a fart when combined with the accusation of deception.

And here's the result of a good-faith effort to try and engage.

There's basically 3 ways to respond to OP's level of nonsense, and 3 predictable responses, all of which have now played out in this thread:

1. Ignore. Response: Liberals are too cowardly to engage on the merits of our arguments! They must know we speak truth! We win!

2. Mock. Response: Liberals are always insulting everybody, just like the professor said they would! We must have touched a nerve! We win!

3. Engage. Response: That was so long and repetitive I'm not going to bother to read it! Picking it apart meticulously line-by-line just shows you're not honestly trying to comprehend. We win!

There is literally nothing that can be done in response -- short of complete agreement that Liberals are all stupid and mean and dishonest and wrong about everything -- that will result in any satisfactory dialogue.

Because it's not about dialogue and never was. It's about rage and name-calling and affirmation from other members of their tribe. FFS "Liberals insult people more than conservatives" is not worth even 1 second of anybody's time.

But I guess it's Friday afternoon and I'm here for the lols like everybody else.
