→Howard Dean: ... and liberal hypocrisy
The quote has been up with a fact tag for over a week now. If a citation can't be provided by tomorrow morning, I am going to delete the quote. I think common practice should have the removal of examples or quotes when a fact tag is attached for at least 7 days. --[[User:Jareddr|Jareddr]] 11:52, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

::::Whilst I see your point about black subservience, I think it is a somewhat tenuous link, and not hardly qualifying as 'hate-speech' (though perhaps a hypocritical inherent racism on Dean's part). And judging by the fact that Dean was not lynched by the audience, it would seem that they did not make the connection you suggest. Perhaps this would be better as an example of Liberal Hypocrisy than hate speech --[[User:J00ni|J00ni]] 12:48, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

I think you're both right, Jooni & Karajou. Specifically, it's liberal hypocrisy about speaking. Liberals claim to be upholding a standard when they criticize others, yet they violote the very same standard they profess to uphold.
Perhaps it would help to assemble half a dozen or more examples, and place them in a table. Liberal examples on the left (no pun intended ;-) and conservative on the right. We can compare the reaction or backlash to the remarks, based on their actual content. But I'm guessing the reaction will be skewed by the [[political spectrum|side]] the speaker is on much more than what they actually said. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:05, 8 July 2008 (EDT)
