Why isn't it the other way around? The conservatives are the ones who fucked the country up. I'm a proud liberal and will admit it to anyone.

Two words: Fox News
Republican PR spin machine
Ignorance
Media Tycoons are coincidently conservatives
What?, 75% media is Liberal
liberalism is often tied to irresponsibility, anarchism, and poor character
liberalism is often incorrectly(!) tied to irresponsibility, anarchism, and poor character

Both sides promote a lot of crappy policies and both sides have their good points but conservatives are better at PR.

Left-wing is hyphenated.

Add Grammar Nazis to the list. ;-)

Because for about 40 years, the Far Right ha sactively worked at framing the language and no one has contested it. As people adopt teh terminology, they adopt the message and connotations.

Huh? What? I thought it was the other way around.

I see it being the other way around, honey.

The Liberal / Conservative divide is arbitrary. It has no inherent reality. If you think you are either then you are living in a fantasy world.

It's classic divide and rule.

Media Tycoons are coincidently conservatives!

"marxist commies" - who told you that? The conservative media tycoons! Marxist commies are better compared to conservatives. BOTH oppose individual freedoms!

by EUROTOPIA on Mon Nov 08, 04 7:28am [+]

Socialists oppose freedom.

by thc2883 on Mon Nov 08, 04 12:01pm [+]

Communists oppose freedoms. Social-democrats do not.

the only place we conservatives can get our side across in on the radio and on fox news. You guys get everything else.
STOP COMPLAINING!

For a nation founded on progressive ideas, we sure are afraid of change.

Exactly, rich right-wingers own the media. They're threatened by any type of progress.
