| Marks said: No surprise there. Liberals are more racist than conservatives IMO. |
Why on earth would you say that? Let alone the fact that the term "racist" should only be applied to those who discrimnate based on race and, you know, liberals and conservatives are not different races, but your point doesn't make sense anyway. Racist has generally come to mean discriminating based on a natural attribute that an individual has no control over, such as, obviously, race.
Discriminating based on ideological stance is completely different, isn't it? I mean, would you say that it's "racist" to discriminate against someone because said person thinks that murder and rape are completely alright? I wouldn't. Some people might feel similarly about, say, the Social Darwinism that a lot of conservatives seem to agree with. I'm not saying that conservatism is at all comparable in any way to my example, but they're both ideological stances for which it isn't necessarily wrong, and certainly not racist, to condemn someone.
