The ugly hate-filled Left

Bump.

Ted Kaczynski (aka The Unabomber) was an environmentalist, who's manifesto was derived from Al Gore's book, "Earth In The Balance".

Not true. The hate filled right uses portions of Kaczynski's book to attack environmentalists. They do this by comparing Kaczynski to Gore.

A prediction: This will backfire on the hate-filled left.

The Republicans will not lose anything in the 2006 mid-term elections, and the Republicans will win the White House in 2008.

Wrong Monty!

The point that your missing is that there's ugliness on the left and the right. I could find as many examples as you (and many of your examples were silly ones anyway, imo. Not examples of "hate" in the least) of written/spoken words by those on the far-right which show far more ugly hatred.

If I did so the howls of protest here would be long and loud. I post a letter to the editor about Harper breaking tradition at a Remembrance Day ceramony and several posters chime in to call me petty or hateful. Even greg showed up to say it was petty flame-bait.

It begs the question, what is this topic of yours?

Uh, gerry, Monty's not here anymore. Been gone for a long time.

Well let's hope he lurks then.

It was during the FBI raid on Kaczynski's home in which a copy of Al Gore's book was found, marked up, highlighted and underlined. He's an anti-technology, environmentalist. A pure product of the left. That's not my fault.

Comparing Kaczynski to Gore is just hate filled right wing nonsense.

I have found nothing in any mainstream media that says the book was found by the FBI. Please show me a legitimate news source that says the book was found there. I'll settle for FOX News if you can find it.

Theirs nutbars on each side of the spectrum. This whole debate is pointless since it tries to paint one side of the spectrum with no real proof beyond simple minded rhetoric.

Hitler=Right wing fascist=Evil

Stalin=Left wing communist=Evil

So, I did a simple, quick web search to see if this was, in fact, true. Boy, was I not surprised to find that there appears to be little or no substance to this. It seems to be yet another lie that has been repeated so often in the right-wing echo chamber that it has taken on the status of fact. Somewhere in hell, Joseph Goebbels' black heart swells with pride.

The fact that the unabomber first starting to attack people in the 70s long before the book was published also makes the assertion quite dubious.
