Anybody who disagrees with you is a moron. Typical liberal extremist.
You give liberals a bad name Todd. I can't believe the intelligent liberals around here haven't ridden you out of town on a rail yet.

The relative contest from that thread:
"I'm glad I have a president that does NOT do what's popular but instead, does whats RIGHT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what a mindless idiot. i wish your family suffers the same fate as those 10000+ innocent iraqis who got rained with bombs, because of what another idiot thought was RIGHT."
==============
You are right Corn, Sultan should have referred to the post as idiotic and not the poster. Of course calling the post idiotic would have been rather polite. I read no real intention to wish anybody bombed, only the cry of moral indignation that those who do not suffer our bombs are so willing to use them. I think it rather axiomatic that those who have suffered real bombings aren't big fans of it. People who experience the horror of war often turn against it where as it was all fun and games before. I think alot of the vets sleeping out on the streets could attest to that. A lot of people are real tough assholes till their families are blown away. Catastrophe concentrates the mind in many cases. The smug and supercilious have often not known a great deal of pain, or should I say have deeply repressed it.
I was raised in Orange County and yes, when I was young, I was very liberal but as I've gotten older, traveled over 20 countries, been to a war, and having a family caused my political opinion and affiliation to shift to the right of the center. I guess I could be labeled as moderate republican.
You liberals always amaze me by the way you twist words around to mean something completely different. Liberals have a skill in the art of deceit. Now I know why John Edwards was a trial lawyer.
HAHA, that's their forte. They LOVE to research interviews and speeches, looking for a few words to misinterpret. It's all they have really, since their platform has no substance. Just make the republicans look like they said something bad. :laugh:
And I've been reading the forum since then as well. I only started posting because I've never felt compelled to post until now. And I've never been compelled to vote until now. It's when I see all these lies and hatred for a man who is honest and doing what he believe is right that infuriates me and compels me to speak my mind and vent a little. THAT IS WHY I JOINED RECENTLY AND STARTED POSTING! I just never cared about politics until now.
What, you don't like to hear facts and logic being flung around? You have the FREEDOM to turn off your computer.
HAHA, I wish more right-wingers would join me on P/N. P/N is so left leaning, it's ruined itself. I need some conservative thinkers to join me, if only to save this forum. What do you mean ruin it?
Yes, your days of unchallenged liberal thought are over. You no longer have a monopoly on P/N.
I have been using Anandtech forums for at least a year and I would loosely consider myself a conservative.
My son went to the homecoming for a local highschool and when he came home he had a Bush Cheney sign in our front yard. We live on a Corner, so that makes it very visible.
I have considered voting for a Democrat and even let someone that was running for office as a Democrat put a sign in my yard on the corner.
I am not sure I care for Bush that much due to the war. I knew that what is happening right now was going to happen. It is inevitable. However, the war has pointed out some failings in our International policy with the UN. It has proven the security council is corrupt and the entire UN staff is corrupt as well. We should not trust the UN for anything. Koffee Ahnan or "Koffee Cup" as mr Savage calls him is a big stooge for Germany and France.
I advocate pulling all of our Troops out of Germany and Western Europe. They dont like us, they dont support us, and they dont even play in a fair manner, so I say let them defend themselves. When they come crawling back asking for help we will help if we are the head of the security council and what we say goes.

I wish there was an influx of Conservatives, the forum would improve if there were. Unfortunetly, it seems that being Anti-Liberal is what passes for "Conservative" these days. What differentiates "Conservative" from "Liberal" is not Posting Style, it is difference of Opinion on a given Subject. "Neocons are...." and "Liberals are...." is not an Opinion of Discussion on a Topical Issue, it is a Troll and/or Veiled Personal Insult(usually) when directed towards a fellow Poster.
As for the "Liberalism" of this board, as someone else mentioned, that's a function(for the most part) of Ammunition. The last 4ish years has been Hell with True Conservatives, as their supposed Leader has not been Conservative nor has he been coooperative in providing good Arguementable positions.
I used to post at the Ars Soapbox(before it became Subscriber Only) and the same issues were discussed there. "Conservatives" there also complained constantly about a "Liberal" bias and unfair treatment of "Conservatives". IMO, the reason why this bias exists is not because Mods are biased, but because "Conservatives" on message boards are much more willing to get personal, Troll, or do some other Childish thing to disrupt discussion of issues. Certainly there are "Liberals" who also resort to such tactics, but IME "Liberals" are far more open to Discussion about various Subjects.

You guys miss the point. Do you want a flood of Hannity/O'leilly/Rush forum people to come here to ruin these forums? Do you want people with no connection to Anandtech here? I'm sure there are left wing forums out there, do you want the posters here to go and recruit?
Actually I don't belong to the conservative or the liberal group. I prefer to be called a person who thinks for himself. I base my decisions on what I hear and see instead of blindingly follow any groups thinking. To label oneself with a group is like being in a gang and you follow whatever that gang says, which I believe is foolish.
The influx of conservative on this site is obvioulsy due to the fact that the internet is finally reaching the sticks and hicks. The backwoods boys are out to play.
So after hearing three or four new, conservative voices, it's high time to call out the dogs? No, not hardly. You're merely experiencing what CAD, charrison, UltraQuiet, maluckey, Galt, shinerburke, etc. have endured for the better part of a year now.
These new posters aren't relentlessly creating thread after thread with the intent of sharply criticizing one's convictions. No, there's actually a level of balanced discussion now.
And YOU can't deal with it.
I don't think there is anything "balanced" about neocons
And it is clear that most of the new "conservatives" here are of the neocon variety that support the *might makes right" principle. Many of them appear to be "conservative" in the sense Zell Miller is a "democrat". Why else would they support the radical Bush?Do you really think that the pool of conservatives is of a lower education level? If so, I'd be glad to put my educational background and my background in general up against any liberal on the P&N section.
No we just want to chase out trolls like you who never contribute anything but unsubstantiated tinfoil claims, insults, partisan rhetoric, and tasteless potshots against any belief contradictory to your own (anyone remember Todd's lovely "I'm glad all those corporate scumbags died in 9/11" claim?). If anything, people like your ilk are the reason moderates won't go near the platform you advocate.
Wow, talk about a strawman and three quarters.
First of all, 3 or 4 new conservative voices have shown up in the past couple weeks. Because they are able to present actual persuasive argument, one might then suppose that this qualifies as "fringe right wing".
Secondly, I strongly advise you not to put words in my mouth. I don't forget Jack.
Thirdly, we finally begin to attain a level of balanced discussion and all you wanna do is whine and snivel instead of discuss the issue. Lame as hell, but it figures.
Finally, no one to my knowledge has "recruited" at other forums.
Nothing wrong with some dems and cons getting together for a good ole fashioned internet fist fight.
