Dems More Likely to Attack Personally

Post by native »

According to a Wesleyan University study og 900,000 media airings in 2010, "...Democrats are using personal attack ads at a much higher rate than Republicans and at a much higher rate than Democdrats in 2008..."

The study is subtitled "...Dem Strategy Likely Driven by Desire to Draw Attention Away From the Policy Environment"

If you're just another headline-only reading Conk, this may give you a hard on. However,........


I don't believe it and would like to see wider research. Here's why - I'd like to see studies on the "nastiness" of political ads. In this, no matter the number of ads, theirs are considerably more personal, intrusive and smothered in hate than those of Progressives.

Come on Cat, sometimes it is what it is. I wouldn't doubt that historically, the party that is going to be on the losing end tends to get more personal and more desperate as the inevitable election loss looms. I'm sure the GOP was the party more likely to attack late in the run-up to the '06 and the '08 elections. When a loss gets closer to reality, the more deperate people become. Dems aren't any different from the GOP in that respect.

I'm not disputing numbers of ads, Ganny, I'm calling out the ferocity of the ads. Conks are demonstrated Neanderthals when it comes to this, no matter what the year. The Conks haven't let off Obama since he was elected - insulting billboards, radio ads, television. Very few, if any, Dems went that far with Bush. It's simple ConkHate.

Holy shit, how big are the blinders you wear? You didn't see people all over the place with hate stickers on their Subaru's about W's last day, A village in Texas is missing it's idiot, Meet the Fuckers, Not MY president, etc... I had NEVER seen such a blatant disrespect for the office in my years.

Big difference, Hen. W was a genuine moron, compared to Obama, who's simply a socialist whose mission is to destroy American capitalism, productivity, free market, and oppress entrepreneurial spirit.

How could anyone hate that?

Cap's criticism holds no water. Everyone here knows I can provide specifics until the cows come home...

:nod:

...but don't need to in this case. Only a fool would dispute Obama's policies and regulatory actions are wholly anti-business.

Oh, wait, "...only a fool..." :roll:

Finally my CS.Com history paid off the other night.

Commented on a gals Facebook post in which it was a photo of Bush, in which he was saying, "I screwed you all over, but thanks for blaming the black guy".

Was joking around when I posted that black guy was a racist term.

The lone lib came out of the woodwork to proceed and spew venom about Republicans and GDub.

Well, it didn't take me long to point out that Mr Caring was still carrying a grudge against a man who was President over 2 years ago. Not to mention, I ripped him a new one on the mortgage crisis and what really happened.

Thank you CS.Com for honing my skills and making me the man I am today.

Fucking lib folded like a pussy.

Not sure why it should be a surprise that people who are supposedly more ruled by emotion and empathy would have a higher incidence of personal attacks.

Vulgarity and hyperbole are the refuge of those who cannot make a substantive argument.
