Are Yahoo and other users really targeting conservatives? nah...?

The Conservatives have been reporting anyone that disagrees with them, which is most of the free World. Their offensive remarks are just coming to a head, and the abuse police are starting to do their jobs.

Wow - \n\nYou must be mistaken.  I am totally shocked that a liberal, open minded, free thinking member would have anything to do with squelching your individual rights of free speech that were manifested in a forum specifically established to inquire about such matters.  \n\nParticularly because it was such a seemingly relevant question considering the happenings in the world today.\n\nI suppose I shall have to reconsider my opinion.  I wonder if I'm allowed to do that?

Do all conservatives truly believe they're holier than thou?\n\nGod forbid there be an opposing viewpoint to ANYTHING, because we all know there is only ever one definative answer or ideology to address any given issue.

They're mimicking the "fallacious logic" rhetoric technique conservative pundits use during their TV, book, and radio rants.  It's like a kid using the "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" response to everything you say.  They simply can't answer a question with an ANSWER.  They answer questions by attacking the asker without actually answering the question.\n\nIt's also pretty useless to site sources, because everything that is written about a topic "1st Tier", such as a study, scientifically-conducted opinion poll, or peer-reviewed research paper, generally is instantly written off as "liberal bias".\n\nAnother mistake that is made by liberals and progressives is that they assume everyone already knows the facts when they give their opinions.  Most neo-cons DON'T and assume you are pulling your opinions out of your butt like they do or you are mimicking a pundit like they are.  They can't percieve that anyone could actually look at facts and interpret them in their own way...if they aren't smart enough to do this, how could you be?

As much as I'd like to appreciate the sentiments that you were wrong in attacking liberals, I have to think that your probably are one yourself, and that you're doing the same thing as all the conservative dingbats on here, just with less verbal abuse.\n\nEither that, or you are hardcore conservative, and you're just doing that to criticize us later on.\n\nI hope you aren't either case, and if I'm wrong, I truly apologize, but I just have this feeling.

Gee that's funny, I throw bombs at liberals for fun, and my email is always open.  The day I become afraid of liberals, I pray someone in my family will run me down with their car.\n    Sadly, only one had emailed me, and as it turned out it was nothing but an intelligent respectful argument.  \n   So friend, allow me now to insult your factless whiny accusation.  You do not inevitably see it. That is somewhere on the scale of wishful thinking to downright lie.  So put the picture of Speaker Pelosi away, pull your pants up, and stop crying.  There are better ways to celebrate your election day afterglow isn't there?

Im' Sorry you don't have your email on or I would have emailed. Did i Misunderstand your question about conservatives?  Did you mean un-stereotypical in the way of conservatives values?  I thought you meant that conservatives like to stereotype people and is there any of them that don't.  Does that make sense?  So I'm unsure what you meant, but when reading other answers they are telling you what their conservative views are or are not.  so I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, I get easily defensive when people start talking crap about each other in their initial question.  \n\nAs to this question?  Higher a voice teacher.  I love singing as well, but I don't have the voice for it so I just do it alone in my home or car, usually while dancing.  :)  Good luck

Are you kidding me? As a Yankee liberal living in a Southern Red state I can relate to what your saying. My only saving grace is that I work in a field where there is an abundance of liberals. When I'm with my liberal brethren, the air is sweeter, the sun is brighter, food is tastier...you get the idea. Some criminal republicans can be a downer at times trying to make you (liberals) feel as if we're some sort of subversive counter-culture when the opposite is the truth. Just tell your favorite repug. to put the tin-foil back on their head as FoxNews and newsmax. com is calling their name.

Yeah, it's biased.  But what do you expect from a corporation that readily hands over personal Internet subject search records of Americans over to Bush and Co. in the administration's guise of cracking down on porn?  From what I heard, they also use people to fill Yahoo Answers with questioners and answerers that push the Republican agenda.\n\nAnd it was dumb to pose that question.  It is a crime to threaten the President and even though you weren't trying to do that, it can be interpreted that way--especially by this president.  But I've noticed that they've let a lot of your other questions slide by which violates their vulgarity standards, but I guess as long as you're not offensive in a political way, then are fine with it.  I'm sure most conservatives are like that.

no i don't actually.  but i agree with the first responder.  thank goodness i haven't seen any "perv's" yet.  although i've suspected a few.  hopefully yahoo folks weed them out before they get out of control though.  i think the abuse button gets abused myself.  i got reported, and it wasn't over anything serious.  i asked how long does it take to go up another level or something like that.  well yada, yada, yada.  the point is, i just think it's useless anyway.  they don't really pay any attention to what was said.

Perhaps it’s because this is the way you seem to present yourself in most of your comments and questions.\n\nOK, you asked for it so here it is…\n\nIn all fairness I went back and read over some of your questions and answers.  There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground to most of your Q&A’s.  On the surface they appear to swing very far to the right and you always pick answers which lean to right contributed by extreme conservatives, never giving liberals any credit for their points of view.\n\nI remember one of the first questions I read of yours was about supporting the troops and not the war.  Like most extreme right wingers, you expressed mistrust for the media and used euphemisms like “fail their mission” and “before their job is done.”   Unlike most Americans, many retired generals and returning Iraqi war veterans, you appear to support issues which only extreme right wingers still support.\n\nI also remember another question about you being called a bigot because of your views on immigration reform.  The Republican idea of criminalizing feeding or offering shelter to immigrants is an extreme right wing view and not upheld by bi-partisan politicians.\n\nQuestions like, “Would anyone object to a white history month?” and “What the F..is this?” don’t encourage an argument for you being too moderate.  Answers like, “You must have a lot of points to throw away to ask a stupid question like this,” and “you’re kidding, right” doesn’t go much toward your favor of being too enlightened.\n\nI’m not going to analyze each of your Q&A’s, but if you don’t have an answer, why do you post responses like the ones above?\n\nUnfortunately, and I’m guilty of this as well, this forum doesn’t have many middle of the road or undecided objective contributors.  We all seem to lean extremely one way or another and we all passionately defend our positions.\n\nModerates (on either side) don’t appear to hang around here too much (maybe they have more a life than we do).\n\nWhen I post questions and answers which indicate I’m a flaming liberal, which I do, I don’t mind being called a flaming liberal.  When you post questions and answers which appear to paint you as an extreme right wing conservative, you shouldn’t be offended when people assume you’re an extreme right wing conservative.\n\nAs long as no one attacks you personally, which I hope I’ve never done, and speak only to your opinions, you should just brush the comments off as being just another person’s opinion.  Many years ago when I was in college, a professor told me, “Opinions are merely a reflection of one’s beliefs and don’t hold water in a world based on reality.”  I’ve kept those words as a guide to how I respond to people’s opinions and I don’t even take my own opinions too seriously because I know my opinion matters not in the whole great scheme of things.\n\nI’m a firm believer that no controversy has a clear decisive correct answer; if it did, it wouldn’t be controversial.   If you want to know the truth, I believe in bi-partisanship and would love to see a President McCain with a Vice President Clinton (Hillary that is.)\n\nEven if I hadn’t been familiar with your posts or not taken the time to read some of your other posts, you could have taken the “perhaps” in the first sentence of my response just as it was meant, conjecture.  Like if you had asked, “Why won’t my car start?”  Without knowing a thing about your car I might have said, “Perhaps it’s your fuel pump,” which would have just been an uneducated guess, but you took the response personally by asking for examples.\n\nThe key to enjoying and using this forum here is to enjoy yourself and don’t take anything too seriously.\n\nPS:\nI’ve been called a moron and an a..hole for posting my beliefs.  When people call me names, I assume they have nothing intelligent to say and consider my opinion correct.

You're right, there's a great deal of immaturity involved.  Basically, so-called "conservatives" are pusillanimous little people who hate, fear, and resent anyone who is different from themselves and have a pathological need to destroy them.

At least your account didn't get hacked down-- like mine.\n\nAs much as I would like to slam every lib here, I can't.\n\nIt's only a handful of especially bitter and threatened libs.\n\nNot all of 'em are soulless.\n\n\n\n\nGee, a thumbs down.\n\nIs it one of you "reporters"?

Basically, because the Internet encompasses so many different viewpoints, religions, opinions, and ideas, what Yahoo has created by allowing access to anyone, is a haven for the sane, insane, prejudiced, tolerant, Christians, non Christians, liberals, conservatives (you get the idea). When they disagree or annoy each other the abuse button gets clicked and the sheer number of reports makes it impossible to track and provide customer service for each one. \n\nLet us hope that they at least give consideration to reports before completely canceling an account.

In answer to your question: a hypersensitive, overly politically correct collective that seems to believe even an "honest" question is suspect. Maybe "they" deleted it because of some of the answers; is that a possibility?

See, I think you are onto something here. I've been trying to figure out what this is all about. Why would Yahoo waste their time, energy, and money on this, when they aren't getting anything out of it? I mean, I would expect to at least see some ads, sponsers, links, etc.\n\nThere is a conspiracy here somewhere...

I only want to use this space to say I am a liberal,I didn't know how important that was until I had to live the results of conservative.\nI don't see one line in your writing that is true,but if you like George Bush,I can understand that.\nI want to give KT thumbs up for his excellent answer,and real good answers from nikoat77 and coolluke.\nYour conservative friends are at this moment trying to take more of your,our freedoms,one that will change how you can or do use your pc,\nIt could even close this site to young people because it would be to nasty'I'm asking a question about it,why don't you take a look,it'll be under Government.
