    Even jokingly comparing the term racist with the term liberal is asinine.

    Unless you think the term liberal is a negative? If so...Agree and noted. :D

    Because he’s wrong. Just pointing it out. It’s ok. Go look at his posting history and point out even 25% of his posts where he posts a conservative point of view.

    Nah, I don't think the term liberal is negative. Especially if the poster being accused has a well-documented history of posting a ton of pro-liberal, anti-conservative content. In that case, the accusations have some sort of validity and the poster shouldn't have their feelings protected and shouldn't get mad when people accuse him of being liberal.

    Having said that, if a poster has a history of posting a ton of anti-black, anti-Civil Rights, pro-racial slur content, then when they're accused of being racist, their feelings shouldn't be protected either. Most importantly, that poster shouldn't get mad when people accuse him of being racist. Am I right?:)

    Ok you're right. @philnotfil you post a ton of pro-liberal content, therefore you are a liberal. Now let me use that same logic in addressing the posters on here who post a ton of racially inflammatory content - you are racists. I'm glad we had this talk guys!

    So now being called a liberal is just like being called a racist? Wow, nice reach there. And what is racially inflammatory content? I get you can’t defend the OP, but going here is a worse look.

    If you can arrogantly accuse people of being a liberal based on the content they post, then folks shouldn't get angry when people accuse others of being racist based on the content they post. Seems pretty simple to me.

    Take 5 minutes and point out all the conservative posts your boy Phil has posted recently. I’ll wait. My bet is it’s 90% plus to the liberal side. So by that measure if you can show someone has posted 90% of their posts that are racist than I’m on board with you. Now prove itZ.

    Why should I have to do any research? I already admitted that based on his content, liberal Phil is a dirty, filthy liberal. Boo! Shame on him. And I've used that same logic to then conclude that based on the content they post, some posters are racists. I'm fair across the board.

    The mental gymnastics you are trying to pull here is impressive. No one believes it, but good try. That you are this obtuse thinking this is a good analogy is crazy.

    Lol, you so much want to be called that by me.
    But I'm not going to play along. I think you're having a extreme reaction to fake vaccine jab, is causing you to oddly to want to be labeled as a Libbey and be a bit over sense.

    I'm just keeping the same energy across the board, brother. Nothing crazy about it.

    You’re on a roll today. Step away from your phone. It’s getting out of hand even for you.

    Whether he's conservative or liberal, his posts are vastly more thoughtful and reasonable than yours. Your posts are nothing but knee jerks and insults.

    Predictable. You only say this because he posts things you agree with.

    I guess the truth hurts when I call people out. Tough luck. If people don’t like being called out, then maybe don’t be a hypocrite. That simple.

    I find it fascinating that people are so concerned and even obsessed by labels. They are meaningless. position by position, no two people are the same, regardless of what they are called. People seem to want to throw those labels on others so that they can marginalize the argument by default.

    And even if they had some real meaning, a moderate Republican would likely have a very different definition of one than a rock solid conservative. Or even a moderate dem.

    We'd have to actually value your input for us to care when you 'call people out'. It's just funny that you you think so highly of yourself.

    If you can't think of anything funny, then best to not post, it makes you look even more foolish than you already do.
