(i could certainly see threads and discussions on how a "stupid" person like him shouldn't try to talk to the youth because he can't say nuclear), is that race based, no, it is political hatred- which is far more venomous at this point in our country's dialogue, than any race based hatred.

I agree with that. I just wanted you to clarify. As for political hatred, it's definitely a problem in this country and it's the reason I don't engage in any of the political "debates" that take place on this board.
*Most on this board are not guilty of this*
People just don't take the time to learn about issues anymore. They grab hold of buzzwords and use those to shape their point of view and then it just turns into a shouting match because no one actually knows what they're talking about. It's pretty horrendous at this point and it's the reason I refuse to talk politics with anyone in public.
