They're all haters!

Recently on my local newspaper site, a woman left this as part of her comment:
"I can't believe how many haters are out there these days, they should all be thrown in prison."
Yes, good point. I will deal with this word lovingly in a fresh entry.

The public has been dumbed down by public schools, and the language of public debate has been sheared and simplified per George Orwell. Everything is reduced to two sides: the side of the angels, the ruling illiberals, and the side of the devils, anyone opposed to their agenda or any item on it. This is reflected in the terms they use:

- oppose them on race? you're a racist
- oppose them on sex? you're a sexist and/or homophobe
- oppose them on jews? you're an anti-semite

What is the common emotional impulse binding these positions, which the left will assure us always run together? hate expressed by hateful haters
