I would have to say the hardcore left is more annoying for this reason- the hardcore right is less educated. They may not believe in evolution, but chances are they can't even spell it... so what can you expect? However, the hardcore left consists mostly of pretty well educated people that are completely batshit insane.
What are your thoughts on the topic, Letsrun moderates?

educated left? doubtful. i think that both parties are annoying as hell and are actually in cahoots with each other. in a socialist state, the elites and gov't sit well, while the rest of the classes live in poverty. both the parties are socialists through and through.
O'Reilly and Limbaugh suim it up. Who wants any part of their bullshit?
Both sides drive me crazy. I find the hardcore right the most annoying. As soon as people start spewing about the world being 6000 years old, it is like they are wearing their ignorance as a badge of honor.

I vote for the hardcore right. Mostly because you can always get a Liberal to flip/flop on their position but there ain't no way in hell you're going to get a Conservative to change their mind. Not until they are in need of a government handout that is and then it's still 50/50 at best.
I suppose I don't like either...however I do think that O'Reilly's characterization of the "far Left" is almost entirely fictional and maybe accurately describes about five people...whereas far Right people are now regulars on cable news TV, and not just on FOX.
Socialism is characterized by the equal distribution of wealth, so Democrats are "more" socialist than Republicans,because Democrats want the rich to pay more taxes than the poor, making the income gap smaller. Republicans think that giving the rich more money will stimulate the economy, and also less taxes as a whole will stimulate the economy. I think people on the left are crazier because they don't think of the implications on their actions will have. In my opinion, most right people that are way right, think of society and how to make it better, but without any reguard for the well being of hte people involved. Left people think, in my opinion, that only the people's wishes need to be considered, and not how the country or economy will function as a whole. I prefer to stay in the middle ground, but I will admit bias in the fact that I am a registered Republican...
I prefer Colbert to Stewart.
I find the hardcore left a bit more annoying, but I'm not big on the Pat Robertson types either.
No way to get a conservative to change his mind? Well, if you buy that Bush is a conservative (I don't) you'd be wrong. What Bush is doing now is 180 from what he proclaimed in 2000 when he ran.

well... id consider that just lying
Daily Show, Colbert Report: Funny, makes you think at least some of the time
The 1/2 Hour News Hour: Horrible, no need to think
Enough said.
I've tried to figure this out and can't come up with a conclusion. I was left in late 70's then right in 80's and 90's and then after dumbass went into Iran I turned back left. I will concur the middle class is disappearing and that is a fundamental of Socialism/Marxism philosophy, So it will be interesting around 2050.
The answer is that the most annoying side is the side you are farthest from politically.
Unless you want to distance yourself from your own political side. Then you call them more annoying to give yourself the appearance of impartiality
Don't even try to pretend you are "middle of the road". Everyone thinks they are "middle of the road". You are kidding yourself.
colbert > stewart ergo far left more annoying
Easy Answer: the LEFT is more dangerous as some of them truly believe the nation, especially white males, must pay the price for real or imagined past US transgressions. They also seem to want mankind to be some shade of off-coffee in skin tone as whites are just plain evil & that we shouldn't make it a regulation that English be the national language and that Arnold Schwarnegger was right in re his comments encouraging non-English speaking illegals, or even legals, to turn OFF Telemundo and start watching...say...Sesame Street, at least as a beginning step to learn English.
I will write in Pat Buchanan's name, even if he is deceased, before I vote for Hillary Clinton.
That's NOT to say Bush is not a putz, that the Iraq invasion, instigated by some neocon chickenhawks along with some wacko THEORISTS, was not a the biggest blunder
associated with American forces since Pickett's Charge.
George Bush is not conservative. He is only considered conservative by those who do not fully understand conservatism. Look at what he is trying to do with the immigration reform... That is not conservative. He is a moderate at best. I personally find the far left more annoying. I can't stand people like Michael Moore...
The left is harmless. The left is full of shit, full of Texan homos, and Oregon treehugbers, but nobody dies. The right is harmful. Lots of Americans died for no reason because of the Bush neo-cons.

Not sure I totally agree. Economically, I am rather conservative. But real conservative, not fake conservative which is what Bush is and everyone who introduces earmark spending.
Socially, I am not. I have more of a hands-off position, which might be interpreted as more liberal.
Annoying = Left
Scary = Right
Far from it, and one wonders if he is hitting the Jim Beam
again?
