Have you noticed lately how ANGRY republicans are?

[Jacobin]

I mean, they are like, really really angry and irrational. They seem to really hate John Kerry, I mean really hate him with a passion. I don't hear them talking about LIKING Bush*, but they just seem fixated on their paranoid and unreasoning hatred of Kerry. Why do they hate John Kerry so?

I mean, they just seem so A N G R Y.......Why are republicans so Angry?

[goodboy]

1. Yup...it shows how desperate they are...nt

[shaolinmonkey]

2. Reality has come crashing in on their fantasy.

Cognative dissonance is hard to take.

[medeak]

3. not at all

The republicans I know have all come up to me saying "you were correct...Bush is stuuupid"

No kidding...never thought I would see the day.

[ixion]

4. lately?

They've been whiny, angry little brats ever since Nixon was in office. :evilgrin:

[DelawareValleyDem]

5. Lately?

I'm hard pressed to think of a time when Republicans weren't angry.

[RamboLiberal]

6. What ticks me off is how they whine about us hating *

like they never hated Clinton or now hate Kerry. They're such hypocrites!

[Ishoutandscream]

7. They know that things aren't going well

so they strike back. That's their m.o.

However, the Repubs at my work have been awfully quiet at my work since Friday. Bushie boy really let them down Thursday night.

[lightbulb]

8. Conservatives tend to be

conservative because they are essentially fearful people. Anger follows fear; the two go hand in hand. Kerry is about to kick Bush's butt back to Texas and the fearful ones know it. They are very afraid of this change and thus very angry.

(edited for spelling)

[loudestchick]

9. I understand it...

My feelings about Bushco border on homicidal at times...when his voice is on TV or radio I feel this unreasoning rage...I need a drink.

[sui generis]

10. same reason they hated Clinton with such passion

the world is black or white to them, and I mean VERY DARK black or very white.

If you's agin 'em then you is pure evil incarnate.

Seriously - they fixate on ultimates. The fact that Bush might not win makes them consider that Kerry is the baby-eating antichrist himself.

[bringbackfdr]

11. Uniters, not dividers

Seems they have forgotten that little Shrub ditty.

[Ready4Change]

12. Prying their eyes open makes them cranky.

They just saw their beloved leader for what he is, a petty puppet with dreams of being a tyrant.

So they have 2 choices: Admit they've made a mistake in supporting Bush, or dive yet again into denial and proclaim Kerry as a traitorious scoundrel.

[funkybutt]

13. maybe they need a hug

do you dare hug a republican. Careful not to catch what they've got!

[Jacobin]

16. Okay.

My little smiley winks didn't seem to convey the sorta sarcasm I was trying for.

Remember a few months back the repukes on TV kept talking about how angry the democrats were, making it sound unreasoning and silly and not pointed in a positive direction

I was lamely trying to throw that mantra back in their faces, now that they are freaking out.

Oh well. How're things in N'Awlins?

:hi:

[funkybutt]

22. oh..i got it

i'm just enjoying their anger so much! It makes my day. I'd be angry too if i had to follow that monkey! I remember when freepers were talking about the "anger"...i call it outrage though...and I'm still outraged.

[Jacobin]

23. Me. TOO!!

It's soooo nice to watch them spin and wriggle and make excuses when Smirky was standing naked in all his majestic dimwittedness for the whole country to see for 90 minutes and he couldn't storm off the stage or manage it!!

A real sight to see.

They do seem a bit snippy lately thought, doncha think?

:bounce:

[HootieMcBoob]

38. I got it

that was the mantra back when it looked like Dean was gonna get the nomination.

of course after the kerry nomination and after that bile fest of a convention they had and the zell miller experience they can't milk that goat anymore.

you may be onto something though. I'm all for helping to perpetuate the republicans are a bunch of angry bile filled nutbags mantra.

[kymar57]

44. Hey Jacobin

I caught it. I just assumed like you everyone else would to.Good observation though,I'd kinda forgot that.

[Jacobin]

47. As a Deaniac

I remember them throwing that out. I'm now a Deaniac on loan to President Kerry.

[clydefrand]

14. They don't know how to act around a smart person

They have always known they were smarter than the chimp. Now, they are up against someone who is smarter and wiser and they are screaming to get in their idiotic views knowing full well that they are wrong.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. As a nation we have not been this divided since 1860

and the anger is parallel to 1860

That is what makes me afraid at tiems, that they may act on that hate

[drdigi420]

17. Because Kerry is an American and RWers hate America

[Claire Beth]

18. They know they're in trouble

[Hamlette]

19. You are SO right, where is all this HATRED coming from?

This is the party of hate! How dare they speak that way of a sitting Senator. That is unpatriotic!

The GOP is unAmerican, terrorists. We need to defeat terrorism and conservativism. It is destroying America.

[BlueNomad]

20. They despise

anything or anyone who questions their way of thinking. They are offended by honest public discourse and they revile dissent. They're basically holier than thou, self righteous, trigger tempered nuts

and ps--they hate to lose more than anything becuase they are laboring under the mistaken notion that no one else should ever win. They have all the toys and well you know the rest. It sort of fits the nationbuilding mentality of wacko fascists.

[knowbody0]

21. part of the "plan" (PNAC)

is to divide and conquer our own nation.it's working. look at us-we won't even dialog with freepers.

[Bandit]

30. As Clinton said "They need a divided nation... We Don't"

:shrug:

[IdaBriggs]

35. Careful -- I've gotten into some trouble with DU trying! nt

[caledesi]

24. Because the repukes know that when Kerry wins, it will be 16

years (if that) before there will ever be another repuke president.

They blew it big time with this moran.

[leftofthedial]

25. they hated Clinton irrationally too

they are just irrational, hateful people

it's kind of a religious thing with them

or like rooting for the local football team

Morans.

[Gloria]

26. Yes, my mother has gotten more nasty and entrenched since the

first debate. She's calling Kerry all sorts of names and threatening to cut me out of her will because I'm for Kerry.

She's 82 and I chalk half of it up to her age...but she is totally rabid.

I keep telling her to use her brain. Shit, she raised me to be a liberal!!!!!

[kymar57]

55. Hey Gloria

damn I love this shit "Shit, she raised me to be a liberal!!!!!"

[sr_pacifica]

27. I hate Bush with a passion

I think both sides see a lot at stake. For Republicans it is mostly ideology, for Democrats it is rights, livelihood---the real stuff of life.

[Sequoia]

28. Hate is their banner flag

They hated Gore, Clinton, Hillary and any Demorcrat. Doesn't matter if these Dems are devout Christians and love their country, the Repubs seem to think they are the true Americans and the rest of us are scum who support any terrorist.

[Hot Water]

29. Because

Republicans are rich yacht driving, Benz owning, corporate, greedy middle class ass fuckers. And they want to keep it that way!

[BiggJawn]

31. The other night coming home....

I turned onto the on-ramp and notice one of those Cadillacs with the ugly grill (like a Chrysler) behind me. I mean BEHIND me, headlight visible in each side mirror-style. So I tell myself "Self, let's open it up a little" and I floor it and hit the top of the ramp at 80. Mr. Caddy BLOWS around me like he's in a hurry. Has a vanity plate identifying him as a "Bigga Boosta" of my place of employment...

All I can figure is that he got torqued over the Kerry/Edwards and Kernan/Davis stickers on the back of my truck...

Then I catch-up with him at the bottom of the exit ramp for the road home...I'm sitting behind him laughing and making the "Tap forehead with index finger sign"...

[doni_georgia]

32. Lately - They've always been angry - don't you remember the Clinton years?

They are a bunch of miserable people who want things to go back to the way they were during the McCarthy/Jim Crow years. Yeah, what a lovely time. NOT!

[Supersedeas]

33. Accepted hook line & sinker that politics is modern version of 'civil' war

take no prisoners mentality that breaks the country into party affiliation instead of issue driven civics.

[SiouxJ]

34. The debate showed them that they have been backing an idiot

and they are pissed off about it. They just couldn't see it until they put him up next to someone with more than half a brain.

[Catherine Vincent]

36. Luv your sig line!

:-)

[exsoccermom]

37. I have my own theory that for a very vocal

minority (I hope for the sake of the country) that what we see with their reaction to Abu Ghraib and the Swath of Lies Boaters: They don't want to hear about the atrocities and they don't want to hear about the killing of civilians, etc. in Viet Nam. Interestingly enough, it turns out that the leader of the SBs (Hoffman) was actually giving orders to shoot civilians. I suspect that if they support the "anything our side does is OK" view, then anyone who raises the point that this is morally wrong is waking up that little voice in the Repub's head that knows good vs. bad. Voices in the head bad/empty head good. ARGH.

[phish420]

39. Because they see their whole plan...

crashing to the ground. Make no mistake about it - they will do the same to Kerry as they did to Clinton - irrational expensive investigations in an attempt to bring him and his presidency down (see The Hunting of the President on channel 6 of my site)

[grasswire]

40. because they are propagandized

The "other" is fully demonized by Rush and hate radio. Millions of Americans have been totally propagandized.

[bigpathpaul]

41. I'm misquoting Yida, I'm sure, but I know someone will correct me

"Hate leads to anger, anger leads to fear" (sorry, Yoda)

The anger you're seeing is, I believe, rooted in fear. Fear of losing. See these:

[DesEtoiles]

42. brainwashed by Hannity et al to see liberals as non-human life

[Trajan]

43. I noticed that hatred when I was a child ....

It is the primary reason I am a lifelong Democrat ....

Hatred poisons one's own 'soul' ... and doesnt do a damned thing to anyone else ...

[desertalien]

45. They hate us because

we hit them in their selfish, greedy pockets. Also Kerry busted them in the BCCI scandal. Among many other reasons. But, I think those are two of the things that really make them crazy. Repugs don't like to get caught and they don't like to share the goodies.

[David Zephyr]

46. They Are Always Angry. They Are Addicted to Rage and Hate.

It's been this way for as long as I can remember.

[Joe Chi Minh]

48. Are they

wild-eyed too, mebbe?

[Jacobin]

50. Well, maybe Zell (R) GA

Pleeeeze don't call him a D.

Thank you

[SemperEadem]

49. because they can see the ditch

that bush is steering them into and they can't grab the wheel...

[in_cog_ni_to]

51. It's exactly the way they were toward Clinton.

They hate anyone who is a repuke. And they are sp ANGRY because they know they're going to LOSE come Nov.2. :hi:

[MoonRiver]

52. Most of them are just hateFUL people. That's why they're Repukes.

The party appeals to them because its philosophy is mean and angry, as are they.

[leftofthedial]

53. they realize they've been played for fools

they know it, but won't quite admit it yet

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

54. The psychopathology of the political conservative mind

There was a study made by John Jost et al. of Stanford University, which should be required reading at DU. Political conservatives are motivated by fear, anger, and aggression according to this study (see pages 23 and 24 at the link below).

http://www.google.ca/search?q=cache:mzB4mftyxmcJ:psychoanalystsopposewar.org/res%20ources_files/ConsevatismAsMotivatedSocialCognition.pdf+Political+Conservatism+as+Motivated%20+Social+%20Cognition&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

[Stuckinthebush]

56. To be fair...

I really, really hate Bush.

I am very, very angry right now at Bush's world.

So, I guess they can be fools and hate in the wrong direction.

The problem is that this country is so incredibly divided, we will never come out of it. The hatred and anger will build until all we can do is split this place up. Like a nasty divorce.

Not to be pessimistic, but regardless of the outcome, you are witnessing the beginning of the end of the country we all love.

I just hope we get Florida and California - they can have the South. Of course, I'll have to come live with one of you guys if that happens.

Oh, well......

[JohnnyCougar]

57. Have you noticed the sun rises in the East?

:)

[beanball]

58. Republicans

the real republicans the ones that gave the old dixiecrats hell,now the party of Lincoln has been polluted by the scumbag dixiecrats that changed parties because Nixon made then an offer they coudn't refuse.Then there are the dittoheads,the brainless followers of america's number slimeball Rush Slimebaugh.The military type that just follow the orders of their warmongering generals.We need to get every freedom loving american to cast a vote in order for this country to live up to its promise.
