Democrats: The REAL Haters

*
Democrats have long accused Republicans of being haters, and one of the patented lies they love to tell is that Sarah Palin worked crowds up into a frenzy of hate at campaign rallies last year. But for those who have the stomach to visit the sewer that is Democratic Underground, the 'Rats prove that Democrats are the real haters. 

Here are some comments from a DU thread about the perp who was arrested for throwing a tomato at Sarah Palin during a recent Going Rogue book signing event...

Several haters showed their support for the perp:

"Wow. Where do we send money to help with his legal bills?"
"I will contribute to any fund to aid in his defense"
"I hope he gets off for his act of political protest"
"Give that man a Medal"
"I'm proud to be a Minnesotan!"

Others said that the tomato tosser didn't go far enough:

"Rotten eggs would be better"
"He should have been throwing dogsh**"
"Shoulda waved a gun"
"to throw two tomatos at a former repug VP candidate and miss, is totally unforgivable"
"Doesn't come close to the moosesh** she's be (sic) throwing at everyone... But it's a start"

Others played the tired old dehumanization card from the Left's stacked deck:

"but Hillary and Obama are 1) real politicians and 2) human beings"
"Those poor, poor tomatoes desecrated on Moose Bunny"

Still another pretends that the million-selling author has no relevance:

"She is irrelevant, why give her publicity"

AT DU, there's always conspiracy theorists in the 'Rat's nest:

"Hell, she probably hired him to do it. Hasn't been on TV in days"
"her publisher probably paid him to do it in order to boost sales"

The fascist card also got played:

"But were they liberal tomatoes or fascist Republican tomatoes?"

And a claim that it was Sarah Palin's fault that a loony lib tried to assault her:

"Its such a shame that palin and her ilk make some people want to stoop to the level"

There were only a few commenters who denounced the act, not all because it is wrong, but because it makes Dems "look bad."

Take a long look, undecideds and independents. Are these the kind of people you want to be associated with?
