Even if I were totally neutral in all aspects on the political forum, I would still see more hate-filled rhetoric on the left.
You just can't have a rational argument with irrational people, I guess.

I'm a little late to the game, but the reason that the Democratic party is based in hatred is very simple and it is because of its structure. If you look at the party on a national scale, it is a loose conglomeration of various interest groups and ideologically, they're all over the place. The way the leadership holds it all together is by finding a common enemy. If they didn't do that, the differences in ideology between all of the various interest groups would come to the forefront and tear the party to pieces.
Don't believe me? Look at the healthcare debate. We all know that it isn't the GOP that's stopping it. Its the Democrats themselves. They're at their best as an opposition party because they ALL hate the GOP and conservatives in general, but when they're in the lead and can no longer blame the opposing party, their own ideological differences really make a mess of things and make it very difficult for them to govern effectively.
