Then I would have to say that you either hang around with a very tiny group of extraordinarily reticent conservatives or you are not listening to what conservatives across the country are actually saying. I hear all sorts of insults hurled at liberals from conservatives all the time. Even on this board, before Bush’s Iraq folly encouraged most of them to leave, I have seen conservatives accuse liberals (and centrists) of treason, of desiring the destruction of Western civilization, called stupid and hateful. I have worked with conservatives in jobs ranging from business executives to (literally) ditch diggers and I have heard every possible epithet hurled at “liberals”–and when I have stumbkled across conservative preachers on the radio, I have heard liberals described as the “spawn of Satan” and everything just short of that remark.
My guess would be that your particular filters–like the ones that let you claim that 99.9% of the U.S. population of the 1950s had never witnessed or heard of a lynching in their lifetime–simply screen out any nastiness emanating from conservatives so that you can feel superior to liberals.
Now see, this is the kind of thing I have to fight around here all the time.
I NEVER SAID “EVERY EVIL” THAT OCCURS IN THIS COUNTRY IS THE RESULT OF LIBERAL ACTION!
Mmkay, is that plain enough?

Really? Seems like a distinction without a difference to me:
I suspect that you should take a deep breath and remember what you have posted previously–or, better, stop making your broad brush claims that are historically inaccurate.
