Here are two more taliban and nazi;) 

Yeah, how about liberal.  Some people throw that around like it is a bad word too. 

Fair enough Btown.  I don't think prejudice is limited to any particular politics;) 

Kind of a double-edged sword.  How about liberals, atheists, the left?  This is definitely a two way street (with plenty of traffic).  Heck, even "moderates" and "middle of the roaders" take their hits.  The word liberal has been maligned both locally and nationally for much longer than anything on your list.  But, Wayfarer, I completely agree with what you are saying, only I would expand the list.  And based on the respect with which you handle all issues and bloggers, it is nice to see one "practice what they preach".  

EDIT - I wasn't trying to beat a dead horse, you guys just beat me to the punch.   

What a gem. I suppose you don't think you're guilty of that at all do you.

Funny that you consider birthers a hate word, since the fact is, the whole reason you are called a birther is because you hate the President and for some reason insist (despite evidence to the contrary) that he wasn't born in Hawaii, or whatever strange theory you can come up with.

Well Cub I will be the first to disagree with you about rather I practice what I preach.  Pete if you are addressing me, then you are giving an example of my point.  I don't hate the president.  I have a great respect for him for trying to think out of the box.  Rather he succeeds or if I support him on all issues is another matter.  Also I have never made a issue of his citizenship.  Now moving right along.  I would like to share an article about how the word Liberal and education has changed from the time of Frederik Douglass to our post modern times.www.salvomag.com/new/articles/salvo9/9jodziewicz. php  

"hate" such a strong word.

let's see...moon-bat, commie,un-American....I know there are more.

Are you telling me these are not terms of endearment? ;-)

This post is supposed to help us communicate better,is it?

You may wish to consider how the use of the word hate feeds whatever fire there is Way.

IMHO~ there is no fire except the one a person attempts to start themselves.

Rest assured ~I save "hate" for very few individuals,the birthers do not rise to that level.

My point is that the core issues boil down to the fear and hate that is in a person.  If you read any of the sojourner7 post you will understand that what I in my own miserable way I try to practice is the personal growth from the tendency towards choosing evil/darkness; instead of light/good.  In this post I am attempting to point out the use of labels to project our fear and hate unto someone/something else ,rather than admitting our wrongness and asking God to help us grow in virtues.  What is comes down to is that "each person is really only responsible for his own 2 square feet of the earth" { St. John Maximovitch of San Francisco} Irregardless of what everyone else is doing.  It is still up to each individual to plant flowers or weeds in his garden plot.  

I just HATE it when people toss around the "H" word just to try to prove a point.  Being against something or someone doesn't mean you hate it or them.

I hate seeing a lie like that in a hate filled post about people being haters when there's no evidence of real hate to be seen.  What a hateful thing to say about someone unless you hate them for you thinking they hate.

Man alive..I surely do hate typing.  I hate the heat, I hate lots of things but only know two people I ever felt true hatred for and that's gone away on one of them.  Oh yeah..I hate evil people.  Not sick and such but true evil people.

Hmmm...what else do I hate? 

lack of frozen dairy products

LOL, Sage! Me too.

Let's all face it~~ frozen anything is the only reason we are still alive...

why are you always pointing out everyone elses wrongness?

annoying.

not helpful. at all.
