Boi, first, half the country? May I point out that a majority voted for Obama twice?
May I also point out that the majority of conservatives in this country believe that what Fox, Beck and Rush say is the Gospel truth?
May I also point out that when FOX or beck and rush are proven wrong, independently by organizations that fact check both sides, it is always claimed to be liberal misinformation?
My point being, is simple, if a group does not condemn the statements that are clearly absurd and without merit, or actions that border on bigotry, then guilt by association applies.
This is true for the Germans that did not support Hitler, but did nothing to stop him, the man who stood and watched a mob of KKK members drag a black man out of his house and hang him while protesting he is not racist.
Ever time something like this comes up, is it better to attack the one who posted it, or address the fallacies of the people that present it as the truth?
I dont care if half the country disagrees with me, considering that I am against a lot on the liberal side of the fence, I would say more than half. However, consider the actions of the conservatives in congress, they have voted how many times to repeal the Affordable Care Act? They shutdown the government when they could not get Obama to agree to defunding the Affordable Care Act.
I have heard that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. How many times does the conservatives have to try and defund or repeal Obama care before they figure out it is not going to happen as long as he or a democrat is in office?
As for the liberals, when the hell are they going to figure out if you raise taxes to cut the deficit, you cannot increase spending in other areas, it defeats the purpose.
Fact Obama care is a clusterfuck.
Fact, Obama went to congress and told them to come up with a health care plan and he would sign it, instead of putting what he wanted in some sort of intelligent argument backed by medical and other professionals in the health field, thus making Obama an idiot.
Fact what Obama said he wanted in his campaign is not what we got, it is not even close to what we got.
Fact attacking Obama on place of birth, calling him a gay coke head, or anything that is not even remotely connected with his programs is just stupid, if not insane.
It makes as much sense as the arguments that a Bush ancestor stole the skull of Geronimo from the grave on the Fort Sill reservation to put in the Skull and Bones temple or whatever it is called, or bringing up the fact that prior to our entry in WW2, the Bush family had dealings with Nazi Germany. None of that had a damn thing to do with Bush's presidency or anything else. Neither did the fact that he was a recovering alcoholic.
That crap was as insane as this crap is.
So sorry I suppose I should have said slightly less than 1/2 but I didn't realize you were going to start nitpicking. The rest of your post reads like an excuse to be a bigot. Very similar to other excuses I have heard on why we should hate blacks and gays. Still not changing my opinion. If you want to form an opinion of all those people based on the idiots in congress I am not going to change your mind. so I guess this discussion is over.
