That's such an apples

I would rather see people stand up for their beliefs by making them known in an articulate and intelligent manner than to dress in bright pink, furry costumes as vaginas, looking utterly ridiculous and demanding the arrest of Condeleezza Rice for war crimes.

I would rather hear people discuss the issues, regardless of their stance, than ridicule a public servant for his weight (Gov. Christy) or refer to an intelligent, successful, black woman as a "dirty, worthless whore" or a "House Nigger" simply because she has the audacity to disagree with their views. (Mia Love)

How do you know this was done by anyone on the left? Do we know exactly who made that Wikipedia edit? Has no one on the right ever called the President a racially pejorative term?

In my humble opinion, there could be a far more constructive discourse and greater possibility of successful solutions, if BOTH sides would concentrate on the issues and finding a common ground rather than allowing our disagreements to deteriorate into name calling and ridicule.

And the Tea Party is one of the reasons we are where we are. This is a group which couldn't even agree to raise the debt ceiling. Ridiculous.
