That's odd, Cluichstan. You didn't find this one to be flamebait:

Partisanship is partisanship; if the Repubs can't take it, they shouldn't dish it out.

The initial thread in question is hardly a serious one.

note, I was asking about the title, not the thred.
saying that democrats loose elections, that's verifiable, saying that "all republicans hate poor people" is not, and in fact is trolling at least.

You fail at understanding the point in the thread you linked. The OPer in that thread is a Democrat venting his frustration at why his party can't seem to win. Try again.
The OPer in that thread is a Democrat venting his frustration at why his party can't seem to win. Riiiiight. Try another one. The purpose of BogMarsh's thread was to spread (once again) slanted "analysis" that shows up routinely on Republican/Libertarian sites. You're just flip-flopping to protect your own.

The thread title you report is an obviously sarcastic lead-in to the OP content. The rest of the thread, as Costa Bravo points out, is far less than serious. The thread in comparison, which was left unmodified, has a plethora of tighty-righties making any number of similarly broad generalizations. Your own "democrats loose elections" is false as well, since not all Democrats lose elections.
The point being, unlike race and religion, political persuasian hasn't generally been subject to mod protection.

thanks for your input. I would like to hear from a mod though. ;)

Interesting, considering I'm not a Republican. Another nice try, but again, you fail.
