re: #325 Charles

I think this issue has brought in more irrational hate mail than anything else I’ve posted. And a lot of it is much more abusive than anything I ever received from a leftist.

Charles is there a moral to this? I understand that you are stating a particular fact: that some of the hate mail you are receiving from the right is more abusive than anything you have ever received from the left. But, are you implying that rightists are more abusive/hateful/violent generally? Sorry for the question. I’m not playing gotcha. I’m just a bit torn over your “crusade” (can I say that?) to point out the right versus left abuses.

I’m pretty sure you are trying to keep things honest by pointing out that the right and the left are the same… There are no angels here. People on the right are just as prone to ugly behavior as people on the left. Is this what you are saying?

Personally, my bias is that while both sides can be really bad, the leftists are somewhat worse more often. But is your bias working the other way? I write this because it seems to me that you take great pains in posting the foibles/ugliness of the right and that you do this more thoroughly and with more relish than you do with the abuses of those on the left. Of course I know that you have been posting for years about the left’s nonsense (especially the anti-Israel pro-Islamist stuff). But, as I said, following your site leaves me feeling somewhat torn about what your views are of conservatives. Do you believe conservatives are worse?
