If liberals ever write the same type of hate-filled defamatory remarks toward an ethnic or religious group, I will be the first in line to condemn it.
That's your standard? In effect, you're saying that liberals need to be as trollish as the three "conservatives" you've identified before you condemn them in the same fashion that you claim more responsible conservatives are remiss in not aiming at the trio right now. Posters who rise to that level of trollishness, however, are routinely placed on ignore by members of all political stripes. So, in effect, you're saying that you want conservatives to repudiate "conservatives" that they may have on ignore because you
don't have them on ignore.
Funny, but I find it hard to muster much sympathy for your position. As I see it, the problem is not conservatives who are failing to condemn fellow "conservatives," it's whiny liberals who fail to take advantage of the features on this site that allow them to avoid getting all pouty about the supposed failure of conservatives to condemn fellow "conservatives" -- a feature, by the way, that apparently many conservatives on this site have been smart enough to utilize to their benefit. You can learn from their example.
Frankly, apart from the predictable rantings of the two targeted "conservatives" who have been forced to post defensively here, the most offensive thing posted in this thread was
by a liberal. I don't know why you didn't rush to condemn that post, but then I really don't care. As is usually the case in these types of threads, I suppose the level of outrage all depends on whose ox is being gored.
