Churchill didn't say thatOr that good intentions can somehow magically overcome stupid ideas.
Churchill has a great saying
“If you are 20 and aren’t a liberal, you have no heart. If you are 40 and not a conservative, you have no brain”
Well, pretty much every National Republican gets called Hitler on a daily basis. We are all apparently homophobic, racist, white supremitsts who want to take health care away from children and dump poison into the air and water. If we can still find time, we also try and make sure billionaires pay no taxes and club baby seals while making sure every American has the right to own machine guns. Oh, and don’t forget making sure no immigrants ever set foot on American soil. James Bond villains are Boy Scouts compared to RepublicansCan you provide evidence to back up your assertions?
Sure he did. I was with him when he said it. We were having cigars and brandy while making limericks about Neville Chamberlain. Good times

There is not one iota of exaggeration there. Do you ever watch MSNBC? Colbert? The View? Heaven help us but Republicans are vilified to an unbelievable degree.
The difference is that Republicans believe that Democrats want to do these things because they honestly think it is the right thing to do. But the Democrats, seeing everything as bigotry, hatred, or racism, are incapable of attributing pure motives to Republicans. You cannot say a racist bigot is operating on good intentions. You can say a Democrat who wants to provide illegal immigrants a path to citizenship has a good motive but may be misguided. Do you see the difference? The two are fundamentally different views.Actually, I don't know that. I have neither cable nor broadcast tv and don't watch anything resembling those shows through streaming.
Do you not agree, though, that equal or worse is not dished out by their equivalents? What is shared here makes anyone who doesn't pass some arbitrary conservative purity test out to be vile, godless baby killers who want to throw everyone out of their homes to make room for illegal immigrant abortion doctors from all Qaeda.
It's sad, because there are wise and good people here who should know better than to engender an atmosphere that allows for such negative boundary pushing.
