[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I rarely read George Will but loved his citation of Wm Buckley's: “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” It reminded me of all these faux "gee how can anyone support Romney" threads which turn into more bashing of conservatives.[/quote] This is a straw man argument, and a weak one at that. To the degree that liberals are intolerant of conservative viewpoints, they are usually based on the inherent intolerance espoused in the views, or the policy that would otherwise restrict one's liberties. Otherwise, most good liberals are perfectly open to hearing and considering viewpoints that may be different than their own. It's just when those other views essentially are intolerant in and of themselves that liberals stop listening. That is not inconsistent. Not all viewpoints are valid.[/quote]
