The hate runs freely and has seeped into everything. I stopped caring what they thought about President Obama long ago. It's a lost cause. What does concern me is that this used to be a community. People liked each other, cared about each other. Now, if you're a Dem who happens to support the president, the majority in the forums hate you, ridicule you, openly target you, and bully you.

WND could have written some of the bullshit that's been posted here about the SOTU. Or even that guy on all the Ancient Aliens shows with the scary big hair. I responded to a couple of the posts. Now I wish I hadn't. I mean, I wouldn't respond to anything on Free Republic. What's the use, right? Same principle.
