O.K., it really has gone too far

I am constantly amazed at the hate that spews from the anti-Bush crowd. These people can't just disagree with him, they have to come across with fire-breathing hate.

I received an e-mail from a company that I have bought playing cards from (Newt). Remember last year when the Iraqi cards came out? Well Newt was one of the companies that made the cards.

Well recently, Newt has come out with Pro-Bush Cards, Anti-Bush Cards, Pro-Kerry cards, etc. In other words, they produce these souvenir cards to cover the whole spectrum.

So, what happens. The anti-Bush crowd goes after them, completely neglecting the fact that Newt produces decks of cards whether you are Pro-Bush or Pro-Kerry. It doesn't appear that they sell Anti-Kerry cards, just anti-Bush cards.

I posted the e-mail on my website: CLICK HERE

Here are a few excerpts:

Quote:
Just recently a "customer" called to yell at one of our part time employees. WHY? Because the company she worked for produced a deck of Bush cards. I'm a little confused. What does a part time employee have to do with this.
Quote:
"don't ever email me again. i made one order with your piece of s**t company,, my last one too. you guys are first class idiots.."
Quote:
The strange thing is, it sounds like Newt's is more open minded than some of our customers.
This hate, and there really is no other way to describe it, has to stop. It is not healthy for either side.

This forum is an example as well. I have seen Bush called Hitler but I never hear the opposite (not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying I haven't seen it and I hang out a lot in the Politics forum).

Equating Bush to Hitler is nothing but hate.

I am ranting, but this really has gotten out of hand.

I voted for Clinton in '92, so it is not unfeasible to think that I would vote for a Democrat. I would vote against Bush if there was a better alternative.

I will not, however, even consider a side that is so full of hate. Especially if one of the arguments to vote against Bush is because he is like Hitler.

There has got to be a way to stop this. There has got to be a way where both sides can give reasons for voting for them without demonizing the other side (BOTH SIDES ARE GUILTY OF THIS).

Neither candidate has really given me a good reason to vote for them. But I will defintely not side with hate.
