Liberals Show How They Really Feel

This column by Larry was a bit shocking for me. Of course, I knew that Liberal didn' t really care for Conservatives, but I was not aware that their dislike for us was so strong. Elder presented this column using plenty of "they say" arguments/statements. This really helps to authenticate his main point, because it provides evidence. If Elder had simply complained about how mean and one-sided liberals were without any concrete quotes or proof, I'm not entirely sure I would have believed him. Almost all of his quotes are from liberals, and not conservatives. This also helps to prove his point because liberals can't say that he's just making all of this up. Larry uses specific situations throughout the column where liberals speak much too harshly regarding conservatives. One specifc example of him using the "they say" argument is when he's getting his hair cut and the barber starts degrading the Bush Administration. The barber belived with his whole heart that Bush was a "puppet" and that he was behind 9/11 and it was all his fault. This shows how very one-sided liberals are, and Elder presents this information using quotes from an actual liberal, rather than a conservative. No matter what happens, liberals seem to blame conservatives, and overlook mistakes that their own party has made.
