Haven't you complained about such things when discussing the topic of gay marriage? You of all people should know that calling someone a bigot is a cop-out when in the realm of comparing and competing ideas. If you don't like what he's saying, tell him how he's wrong, otherwise you're really not accomplishing anything other than being the only one to pull out the bigot card.

You're right, I've complained about people being labelled bigots without their points being addressed. And all my complaints have gotten previously is ignored/disregarded. So I figured it was an acceptable practice, and decided to try it out myself. You could say it's a typical liberal tactic. And as I said above, I won't be bothered debating with someone about their bigotry, it won'd do any good.

Try coming up with examples of how the religious right encourages people to think for themselves. Try coming up with examples of how the religious right doesn't completely misrepresent the facts. You could explain, for instance, why the democratic refusal to approve a handful of judges amounts to anything remotely resembling an attack on christianity.

I never said that the religious right encourages people to think for themselves. And as for "completely misrepresent"ing facts, that is always debatable. I might show you some things that you see in a different light. And it would be hard to say which perspective is truly "right". And as for the Dem filibustering, that IMO isn't an attack on Christianity. I don't agree with what the Dems are doing, but I don't see that as an attack on Christianity.
