    Well, it’s hard to tell liberals and conservatives apart, mostly because liberalism isn’t left wing, but actually slightly right from centre, and both liberalism and conservativism share some similarities.

    This is what McCarthyism did. It’s the great goal post mover.

      Liberals: “no nazis or bigots. We want fair pay and basic human rights”

      Wow, it’s so hard to see the difference.

        CPAC organizers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

          How does that change anything? In the past they were willing to eject these people, but not this time.

            It doesn’t. I just found it funny they expected a comment. The news not calling this fascism is why it’s going to get worse.

              I doubt they actually expected a comment. Reaching out for a comment is just part of what you do as a journalist.

                I used to think that the type of hatred displayed by the filth guy was a small backwards group ina larger whole, but I’m not seeing anyone else in the larger whole, who might be less ridiculous, saying anything about the fridges. It makes them all appear the same.

                This is a basic example of issues caused by not policing extremist views within your own group, or a group being too big and not representing the majority of people’s views.
