The Tolerance, Children, the Tolerance!!!

Yes, I'm picking on DU again. They're just so much fun! Check out this thread. It's positively dripping with tolerance and respect for opposing viewpoints:

Did something bad today which felt sooo good. Went to the local Barnes & Nobles. Took all the pro Chimpy books off top shelves and put them on bottom. Replaced with Pro-Kerry Books. Covered all the pro Chimpy books with Pro Kerry, Michael Moore or other lefty publications. My Bad?

First of all, I think it's funny that this idiot doesn't even know the name of the bookstore he/she/it went to (it's "Barnes and Noble," you illiterate buffoons!). Second, look at some of the responses and tell me these people aren't mentally ill:

Good job. I say fight fascism any way possible!

The irony just makes you want to vomit, doesn't it?

I do that all the time. The other side wants to burn books they don't agree with, so I consider it a small bit of mischief in comparison.

What we have here, boys and girls, is a textbook example of projection. This person wants to burn books that support Bush, but since that's illegal, they just rearrange them and justify their actions by claiming that Bush supporters want to burn books. Isn't psychology fun?

I did my part on Friday. B&N (not too much work there, they are still featuring Clinton up front and was hard to find the SBL book) and Borders. My sons do it too and they are spreading it to their friends. It's just too irresistible a target.

Yet another reason I'm a conservative: I believe in teaching children the difference between right and wrong. Or, in this case, left.

That's sooo funny. I drove around today and stuck my middle finger out at any house that had a Chimp/Chaingang sign in the yard. I then yelled "MURDERER" at the top of my lungs. A few people heard me - life has consequences baby.

Yes, life does have consequences. Hopefully, they'll include a large Republican beating your defective brains out at some point for acting like a moron in public.

Your tactics of moving pro-bush books to a lower shelf is Nothing compared to the gestapo tactics of the tom delays/james bakers in 2000 debacle. ANd now we see what they've done so far in 2004!

We are all soldiers in this war. You were doing your part as far as I'm concerned..and I'm glad to see you didn't back down!

This is a sign of schizophrenia, people. I'm not friggin' kidding; these are actual symptoms of the disorder: Delusions of grandeur, persecution fantasies, etc.

I put anti-Bush books in the dustjackets for wingnut authors...a great idea suggested by another DU-er a few weeks back

Uh, dude, I'm pretty sure you could get arrested for that. So keep doing it as much as possible, please!

Anyway, this thread scares me, and I'll summarize the reasons for that:

They see Bush and his administration not just as political opponents, but as an evil force that must be defeated at all costs. Because of this, they have no problem tampering with the organization of bookstores and essentially vandalizing the books if necessary. In addition, they truly believe that if they yell "Nazi" or "murderer" at Bush supporters, they're not only telling the complete truth, but making a logical point.

No. Faith. In. Humanity. They had their chance, and they failed to impress me.
