Can you clarify please -- are you implying that Streisand and Garafolo are hate-mongers? If yes, can you cite evidence?crimresearch said:

Someone who seems to be the exact liberal cohort of my Republican stepfather, both candidates for the A**hole party.
"Black people in America are so stupid and gullible..." exact quote from my stepfather. Snobbery both ways. I say snobbery rather than racism only because I know the man too well to even entertain that it was a racist statement.
There is snobbery in everyone, to be sure. I do think that great swaths of Republicans look down on those they see as being beneath them morally. I'm saddened to see the great hostility that Americans have toward other Americans, because of their political opinions. I think there is a divide here, and that is more dangerous than the actual opinions of either side.
BTW, on the subject of your original .sig, the suing of fast-food companies being a sign of liberal snobbery. It seems to me we had a President recently who ate at McDonalds every chance he got. Hell, I eat at McDonalds at least once a week. I also shop at Wal-Mart, Costco and Sam's Club.
I don't think liberals as a group have "limitless snobbery." It rings as one of the least true attacks I've ever read, precicely because such accusations don't bounce off liberals. Liberals are CONSTANTLY (tediously) self-evaluating. It's a defining characteristic. It's why we keep losing elections, if you ask most democrats. Hmm... perhaps we need to self-evaluate our tendency to self-evaluate.

I advocate this if only to refute it...
The following is a Preamble to the party platform of the League of Nihilistic Solipsism.
1 - As representatives of the League of Nihilistic Solipsism, "we" hang tough in a world of epistemological failure and cosmic purposelessness; a world in which nihilical solipsists, along with other proto-phenomena and apparent p-zombies, are, every now and again, sovereign over existential horror and emotional anguish, and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her repudiation of all imposed values for the benefit of others' nonlinguistic illusions.
2 - "We" observe that the bodies of other human beings behave as my body does in similar circumstances and, so, infer that the mental life and series of mental events which characteristically accompany my bodily behaviour - today, quite possibly, suicide - are also present in the case of others. It is further observed that the banality inherent in any recognition that such behavior is not necessarily meaningful oft subverts critical tools and seems to make inescapable an environment where pointless ideas can be imposed forcibly with little resistance.
3 - Consequently, "we" defend each person's right to engage in any series of astounding improbabilities most likely destined to fail after a lifetime of meaningless suffering. And although within the world "we" picture one does not absolve his or her self of arbiting ultimate moral responsibility, there may very well be times when wandering the streets wearing a sign "I am not drunk. I am crazy. Give me some goddamn money!" will just have to do. It helps to be good looking and well spoken when alienated by a crippling spiritual emptiness.
4 - In the party platform "we" will set forth our basic principles and enumerate various policy stands derived from those principles. These specific policies are not the goal, however. Decades of scientific inquiry and careful research have ended within a perspective of utter futility for life and universal existence and the unavoidable conclusion that there is no point.

More hate from the hatefest:
Prominent right wing political writer for the National Review, and The American Enterprise accuses Jimmy Carter of treason:
http://powerlineblog.com/archives/009423.php
The head of New York's Republican Party linked the Democratic Party to a convicted traitor and terrorist supporter:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=548&e=12&u=/ap/dean_gop_chairman
I rather liked the response of Howard Wolfson who said:
"Don't accuse the 5.5 million Democrats in this state of treason if you hope to win our votes. And, if you make that mistake again, you best be prepared to make it to my face, because we love this country much too much to allow you to ever question our patriotism."

Harry Belafonte: "In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him.
"Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture."
65 to go.

Luke T, you're not counting the roughly 50 quotes linked in the first post.
Granted, some are multiple quotes from the same person. But there's a lot of good material there you aren't counting!
Luke, you seem to have missed the point entirely. Keep going back and forth all you want.
You like this stuff? You want more of the same?
Then join the A**hole party.
Those of us sick of this crapola will be in the "Don't be an A**hole party."

David Lindorff: "[Bush] is not the orator that Hitler was, but comparisons of the Bush administration's fearmongering tactics to those practiced so successfully and with such terrible results by Hitler and Goebbels . . . are not at all out of line."
Walter Cronkite suggesting the videotape of Osama Bin Laden released just before the election was set up by Karl Rove.
Cameron Diaz saying rape would be legalized if Kerry wasn't elected.
Al Gore calling Republican campaign workers "Brown Shirts."
Columnist Hugh Pearson comparing the Republican Convention to "Nazi rallies held in Germany during the reign of Adolf Hitler."
Linda Rondstadt on the election: "We've got a new bunch of Hitlers."
Bill Moyers prediciton on election night if the election was close: "I think there'd be an effort to mount a coup, quite frankly. . . . The right wing is not going to accept it."
The St. Petersburg, Fla., Democratic Club took out an ad calling for the death of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "Then there's Rumsfeld who said of Iraq, `We have our good days and our bad days'. We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say, `This is one of our bad days,' and pull the trigger."
Susan Sarandon: "The United States is a land that has raped every area of the world."
Start lapping.

I didn't miss your point at all. You want to just talk about rightwing a-holes, and give the left a pass.
You say there are A-holes in all parties, but there are ten times as many in the Republican party.
I get it. I totally get it. You are giving a demonstration of how to be one of the A-holes you are complaining about.

The League of Nihilistic Solipsim will carry all before it! Which, since it is the all and the all is nothing, is a neat trick. It is the Allhole Party to which you refer, so you're toast, pal.

Going on the available hard evidence Moyers has not been proven to be either a paranoid alarmist or even wrong. He might be wrong. We don't know. We should know. But we don't.
