Seriously, some people need to chill out.
Nothing here looks like an attack until Melancholy Girl's post.

Yeah, that's the only vehement reaction that I see.

Well honestly it doesn't seem to matter what we think, or the fact that she agrees that she was feeling attacked because she was already in pain and vulnerable.
I made no attack except in defense of a friend who I know is hurting so bad. Just because I don't like the other policies either doesn't mean that I was attacking you or the "president elect". If you want to start that shit, I got plenty of ammo for it.
And just for the record Rocko, I haven't been Melancholygirl for a long time and don't appreciate the implied insult.
And Shey, you are way to bleeding heart to even be able to have an intelligent discussion about the possiblilities that exist on both sides. Why don't you reread what you have posted.

There is no way you all could understand, or care, how deeply, deeply devasted I am about this election and the state of the country, and I truly should never have responded to begin with. Have you considered how deeply, deeply devastated the majority of this country has felt the past few years watching not only the country being run into the ground by the Republican party, but people actually insane enough to cheer them on? Yes, shattered - there is EXTREME relief across the country that the pendulum is swinging the other way. Your party had it's chance to show us how it's done. They pissed it away on a level never seen before in this nation's history. That's a hard pill to swallow, I know - but swallow it you must.

Phyxius's response is typical of all the leftist responses here -- blaming George Bush's horrible presidency on John McCain. One of the very few Republicans who stood up to Bush and Rumsfeld!!! OMG. Typically, facts mean nothing to ideologues.
It is acceptable -- on this board, in the media, at private parties, everywhere and anywhere -- to say the most vile, outrageous, lying, and downright crazy things about anyone who disagrees with the far-left agenda.
Yet, as soon as someone dares voice some criticism, concern, sadness, disgust, whatever, with what your side is doing, you either go bat shit, or do the whole holier-than-thou routine.
I am well aware that such people do not tolerate dissent, which is why I know it was a mistake for me to say anything about this topic whatsoever.
Anything from your side is always right. Anyone who dares disagree with you is always wrong. I know.
So, of course, NOTHING you ever say could be an attack, or twisted, or unfair, or ridiculous -- because you are always right!!!
And anyone who disagrees, is the attacker, the crazy one. So, Mel and I are the attackers, while all of you are pillars of tolerance, open-mindedness, fairness, and objectivity.

No one attacked you. They stated their personal opinions, just like you have a right to state yours.

Yeah, OK - we'll go with that. Note, I did not even MENTION Bush in my post. I said, the REPUBLICAN PARTY. There's a reason the pendulum swings, shattered. Your PARTY ran the country into the ground. The COUNTRY (by a six point margin and an electoral landslide) decided that it was time for your party to go. And, in case you haven't noticed, the vile, deceitful, blatantly lying, hateful bullshit was coming from the GOP. But hey - Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage - it was all in good fun, right? Give me a mutha-frakkin' break. The election's over. The power balance has shifted. You can either deal with it or not, but it's gonna be at least two years before you can do anything about it. I have a suggestion, though. Why don't you wait and see what direction the country's actually going to take before you cry about the end of the world? Who knows - you might actually be pleasantly surprised at what the country looks like without NeoCon, Reich-wing nutjobs at the helm...

Maybe it would be useful to examine why right-wingers are so defensive. Given all the shit that your party threw at Obama and Clinton this campaign, isn't whining about anything we say back the moral equivalent of a child slapping another child and then running to tell the teacher the other child did it? Just sayin'...

OMG. I am not even a conservative!! Just ask my conservative friends, they'll tell you. I despise few people more than Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The Republican Party is not "my" party!! Where do you get this stuff? You know nothing about me!! How typical. Has it ever occurred to you that there are many people in this country who are simply Americans, who do not define themselves, the way you seem to, as Democrats or Republicans? After 16 years of two lying and dangerous presidents, this country finally had the chance to elect an honorable man who is also an adult. Instead the country chose "change" and skin color.

I just need to add: Please do not make me responsbile for things that Limbaugh, or Hannity, or anyone else said!!
OMG -- is it really too much to ask not to take stuff that somebody said and act as if that is *my* opinion??
It should be clear from my posts that I love and admire John McCain.
Rush Limbaugh, that idiot, has always been one of the biggest McCain haters and bashers.
You really think it makes sense to lump me, a total stranger, who's only posts in the past have been about admiring John McCain -- and hating Bush! -- with people like this?
Well, obviously to you, it does make sense.

That is funny Shattered, cuz they tag me as an uber Conservative too. But you and I have talked and we both know better . In fact my dear fiancee told me just yesterday that he never asssumes how I feel or think about a topic because Im just as likely to come down on the liberal side as the conservative side.
