I don't go to Stromfront etc. This is the only forum I regularly visit. (I do go to car forums etc. for DYI advice.)
What would Stormfront's objective be for generating (pointless) fear? Honest question because i don't know and cannot imagine.

why? fuck if I know..."white power?" We should ask Incorrputible, though. He copy-pastes from those websites a lot.
I live in a conservative part of the country. IMO, neither Boston or MA is even on the radar. Nobody gives a damn, they aren't famous for anything much.
hmm, sorry, but I jsut can't take you seriously that you don't equate MA as a bastion of liberal politics. It is, above all others, the origin of pretty much everything the contemporary republican hates about liberal politics, far more than New York, which only gets playtime over the last couple of years. (I say republicans--Teabaggers and ultra fundies hate the ultra-left fringe, which is more SF type boogeyman stuff. Very little of that is mainstream liberal politics, as it is in MA). And you can't separate modern liberal policy from the Kennedys or MA...it just wouldn't make sense.
Down here Key West and San Fran are famous for that sort of thing. I doubt anyone knows or cares about Cape Cod.
I didn't know this reputation of Cape Cod until around 2000, when my college roommate who grew up in NH, Boston area and worked a few summers in Cape Cod started telling me stories. But it's been pretty well established for several decades now.
Shrug. I just don't see any logic to it. You're strongly persuaded that righties hate Boston etc. I've never heard it brought up as some bastion of liberals like NY or SF. Never.
Boston is MA. Well, it is what the right hates about MA--and much like New York, the city /= the state. Sorry, New York is only a recent target of the right, with the so-called "Fuhrer Bloomberg." How soon the right forgets their beloved Giuliani. tsk tsk. At least, in comparison to MA. the only Republican to come out of MA was Romney, if I'm not mistaken,a nd that was a rather mediocre single term. You forget Dukakis, the Kennedy DYNASTY (it is always relevant, the point is that I have established this as the foundation of liberal politics, your argument that "they aren't relevant today" is completely meaningless--this is where it all comes from! that is the point!), already forgot what a shock it was that the republican got that senate seat in 2010? That was shocking for a reason, you know....
yeah, it always been the home of contemporary liberal politics.
SF is where the cook fringe hang out and while some of their ideas get filtered and useful, it is the breeding ground for crazy, everyone has this. It's like the right's version of Kentucky, Florida, Idaho, and Kansas.
I live a long, long way from Boston. I don't get any Boston news, not even here. What I know about Boston politics is just that they had some outrageously expensive boondoggle regarding some canal. Otherwise, they have great Italian food and a bunch of good universities.
Oh, and from campaign news that Bain is HQ'd there.

hmm, are you suggesting the fact that Romney's old stomping grounds being headquartered in Boston is evidence that Boston is at least some type of republican stronghold, or at most "neutral?" :hmm:
also, good Universities....lol Lets open another thread where you guys will spend your time blasting "liberal universities" and "liberal teachers" poisoning the minds of our youth. They aren't "a bunch of good universities" in most other threads. and come on now, don't be coy. Please don't deny that a place like Harvard is the icon of conservative anti-education furor.
