There may be less material to work with, since admittedly liberals don’t say stupid things as often, or at least they tend to say the same unnewsworthy stupid things over and over. But there have been good examples here. You guys pick on Clothahump in every thread, you don’t need this one for that. ---

Reid rips Scalia for his comments from the bench. Fair enough. He has every right too. But here comes the dumb liberal bit. “Ideas like this don’t belong on the Internet, let alone the mouths of national figures.” Right, Harry, only ideas liberals approve of belong on the Internet. Fucking unbelievable liberal intolerance, which seems to expand exponentially by the year. All ideas belong on the Internet, you oppressive fuck, bad ones, good ones, mediocre ones, hurtful ones, idiotic ones, liberal ones, conservative ones, and, yes, racist ones, even if we don’t like them. Talk about the cure being worse than the disease. ---

I missed the part where he proposed censuring the internet. Perhaps he was saying that people shouldn’t say hateful things.

Actually one of them purposed censoring the internet. One of them was decrying that something might be said and propegated but says nothing about censoring it.

Loretta Sanchez is whipping up a little bit of controversy for being accurate.

Loretta Sanchez said Muslims seeking a caliphate are willing to use terrorism and violence to impose their views on the Western world. > > “We know that there is a small group, and we don’t know how big that is — it can be anywhere between 5 and 20 percent, from the people that I speak to — that Islam is their religion and who have a desire for a caliphate and to institute that in any way possible," Sanchez said on “PoliticKING with Larry King.” > > “They are not content enough to have their way of looking at the world, they want to put their way on everybody in the world,” she said. “And again, I don’t know how big that is, and depending on who you talk to, but they are certainly — they are willing to go to extremes.
