I don't know, it's sort of different whenever you're just joking about it. But conservatives are famous for their inability to comprehend humor, or much at all.

Hate is good for the soul. Liberals can't win just on staying above the fray, as the past 40 years has clearly demonstrated.

But your liberals over in Australia did pretty well eh?

Yep but this is where we confuse everyone. The "liberal" (ie centre-left) party is in power federally and in every state and territory (although in one state they shouldn't be in power because the government is inept, incompetent and probably corrupt). But yes, we're looking for a renaissance.

I was just playing on the fact that your conservative party is named the Liberal party.

That it is - my fault, sorry, I forgot you know how we do things (black swans, conservative liberals, platypuses <--- apparently that's the correct plural reference) in politics here.

Yes, the Liberal Party of Australia was created by Sir Robert Menzies, our longest-serving PM. He created it out of the ashes of the United Australia Party. It really was a "liberal" party in the classic sense of the word, liberal in terms of economics but also (as opposed to its contemporary manifestation) in social policy as well, it would be very mild libertarian in American terms regarding social policy.

I have to admit that as a kid I didn't have much time for Menzies, growing up in a Labor Party family but quite a number of years ago I went to his home town in rural Victoria and to the museum they have for him there. I left with a better appreciation of him. John Howard fancied himself as a bit of a Menzies but fell short in so many ways it's not funny.

Yea did you see Fox news feeble attempt at a spin off of the "Daily Show with John Stewart"? While the attempt was hillarious, the program was not. It was about as funny as euthanasia day at the puppy farm.
 
Don't you love these rightwing nuts like Indesputable who try to paint everyone who does not agree with their extremist point of view as "Liberal' and then try to marginalize liberals? It's really a sad, sad, pathetic attempt to justify their point of view as mainstream because they cannot except their authoritarian extremism as being outside of civilized margins of political discourse.
 
It's also pretty damned obvious that their incapable of independent thought as almost all their post are either the parroting of the wingnut hate mongers like Fox News, Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage at el, or just copy and paste from NewsMax or Drudge.

A government that is inept, incompetent and corrupt? Hmmmmm where have I heard that before......oh yea.....the Bush administration!
 
Typical

I noticed that none of you could refute the basic point of the thread, or provide any examples of alleged "hate speech" by conservatives.

BTW, how are Err America's ratings these days?

In a lot of nations liberal party is either the right-wing party or the moderate party. America and Canada seem to be the only places where it's picked up what "social democrat" or "labour party" means in other places. In fact, it's even more strongly associated with that than "left-wing" is. Your liberal party, however, seems like Republican-lite, socially and economically conservative. Maybe I'm wrong? Or has it shifted over the years? It's odd how the same word went in such different directions.

I kind of wish that we had a moderate libertarian party, but the two party system doesn't really make room for that.

in any case extremists of all varieties are wrong.
