ORIGINAL: CreativeDominant Imagine how he'll feel once he stops insulting people long enough to read the thread and realize how easy it is to find a perpetually offended group on the left. From feminists: http://thefederalist.com/2014/11/17/its-time-to-push-back-against-feminist-bullies/ To gays: http://www.frontporchrepublic.com/2012/06/gays-acting-badly-in-the-white-house-a-comparative-study/ To progressives...standing up for minorities: http://chicksontheright.com/blog/item/26643-the-latest-example-of-progressives-being-hypersensitive-perpetually-offended-hosebeasts-and-shutting-down-a-charitable-event I don't know whether people will bother to read the links you posted, but (note to Peon) they're right on the money as far as the topic and the OP's motivations for starting it are concerned. Thanks. K. K, there will always be *millions* of such examples. Which is really my point: your thread title is easily translatable to something like, 'List all the things you don't like about things that offend lefties'. And that's pretty much all that people have done - along with a few of their best chortles and a merest sprinkling of offhand analysis. Some of the things that have been posted I've seen as worth defending; others not so much. (Many, of course, are little more than propaganda, of course.) But, really, there's little point. The thread reads like a hotchpotch of copies and pastes from one or more of the right wing newspapers or TV news stations - Fox or the UK's Daily Mail, for instance. Nobody would have the time or energy to counter everything that's belched out with such eternal vigour by such media and their internet equivalents. As a 'riposte' to this thread one could, I suppose, start a thread entitled something like "The Latest Nuttiness of the Looney Right" ... but - again - really, what's the point? To demonstrate that lefties and righties here find different things irksome and for different reasons (that they see as bad for society as a whole, etc, etc)? Is there anybody here who isn't only too aware of that already?
