Retarded political snipes
Keep in mind that this is written from a Republican, and so a lot of the shit I'm talking about is leveled against Republicans. I'm not implying that Republicans don't act the same way; I'm just writing this from the perspective of someone who gets hit with said retarded political snipes, and therefore notices it more.
Why is it that you can be having a perfectly good discussion about domestic violence as a theme in music, when out of the blue some asshole says;
"I mean the only reason why people vote Republican nowadays is because it felt like a kiss whenever someone votes for a party that supports wars, opposes gay marriage and abortion and give tax cuts to the rich."
... What?
Where the fuck did that come from?
No mention was made of American politics beforehand. This wasn't a discussion about Republican songwriters, or even Republican themes in music. It was about domestic violence.
I've experienced it elsewhere, too. My liberal friends (that is to say, almost all of my friends) make retarded quips about Republicans being stupid, or bigoted, or greedy, and they don't seem to notice that it never has anything to do with the topic at hand. When I finally got around to telling them that I was a conservative, they looked at me like I'd just grown devil horns. One of them stammered, saying "But you aren't pro-life, are you?"
Ugh.
I'm completely okay with people disagreeing with me. I'm even okay with people disliking me because of my politics. I understand that they're controversial, and that people who disagree might take my stances as a personal affront. Hell, a good number of my jokes are about how evil we Republicans are, because I know my liberal friends will laugh. But these retarded snipes that have nothing to do with the topic at hand are annoying and immature, and they're detrimental to democracy. If you turn the debate into simple name-calling, you're cheapening the debate.
For anyone who might be angry because I haven't mentioned any retarded Republicans, I've seen it come from conservatives as well. I once saw Glenn Beck compare Obama to Stalin, saying that we were being led to a slaughter, and I wanted to strangle the asshole right then and there. Another time, while I was listening to Hugh Hewitt's show on the radio, one caller referred to Obama and the Democrats as "Nazis in Washington." Fortunately, Hewitt clamped down on the guy and chewed him out for it.
You see what I mean, though.

I am rather tired of everyone slinging mud at each other and not actually debating.
Well, not all the time I mean, but about this.
LIBERALS R BIG BREASTED GIRLS WITH GUNS
> WITH GUNS
Silly Forzare, liberals don't use guns! In fact, they are unarmed, sitting ducks.
CONSERVATIVE ARE BIG BREASTED GIRLS WITH GUNS

Oxymoron.

That place reminds me of why I don't get into political discussions on the Internet. But it makes for some good popcorn fun.
