Yup...
Extremists from every part of the political spectrum engage in childish behavior.
I'd like to hear the varying definitions of an extremist right winger - that doesn't include the religious "right".
Bill O'Reilly is well known for "winning" arguments by telling people to shut up.
One, that's not a win. Two, the only time I can recall him doing that is with Al Franken - who, btw, was yelling over everything Bill was trying to say.
Ann Coulter has a habit of calling people fags.
It's a habit because she's done it twice? And what was the argument that she won again?
Dick Cheney tells people to fuck off.
I suppose you haven't? Regardless, this wasn't in an argument.
Karl Rove starts false rumours involving sexual indiscretion.
I have no idea if he has or not - nor do you, I bet.
The list of non-civil ways of "winning" runs from the childish to the immoral and is practised by essentailly all extremists.
Extremists suck, agreed.
By the way, how to you know the individuals behind the DDoS of O'Reilly's website are socialists?
Just another word for liberals. Why do I think liberals did it? Well, name me a couple of extremist, activist conservative or libertarian groups. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
