I guess you could say egging on. Mostly I'm trying to be as nice as possible and point out the ignorance very passively. I mean, if I went on and said oh I love you guys please don't hate me, or just left it be, it would be the same. Maybe I can change a few minds, enlighten a few people. Or maybe I'm just an asshole which totally a possibility.
I just left the group. It wasn't working haha. They are so incredibly ignorant they do not even know about the founding of the country they think they are supporting by hating hippies(I don't get it either). I couldn't deal with it anymore, being nice to these people was too hard.

I just read that entire exchange and was laughing about it.
they've probably never met any real hippies. The real ones are few and far between. They're most likely confused because there are so many douche-bags dressing like and calling themselves hippes. Always has been, always will be.
I'm not going to waste my time going through all the crap spewed on a Facebook group, but I'm willing to bet I might actually agree with some of it. I, like a lot of people (I would hope), can't stand the trendy hippies who are just as ignorant as the people bashing them. W made hating the government cool again. This has resulted in a huge population of phony protesters and in turn. hippies (and I'm not saying all protesters are hippies ). One could argue that in the case of protesters, the more the better. It just always seems like when the media interviews someone at a rally, it's always some moron who's simply there because they think it'll make them cool.
Well there's my rant for the day. I guess when I think about it, I really just can't stand fake people in general. For any type of person, there's a phony version out there somewhere. People have become far too obsessed with how every action will make them look. I'll end with part of the chorus of a song by the band Sloan
"If it feels good do it even if you shouldn't Don't let people mess you around"
They're entitled to their opinion. This just seems like someone who's followed the South Park Conservatist view and started a group to be funny. I thought the info was hilarious, "I'm not trying to discriminate against anyone. You would have to be people for that to happen." I grinned a little at that one
Besides, there's no reason to get bent out of shape over things like this. Let people have fun in their own way

EDIT:
haha def not bend out of shape. I had a lot of fun in that group provided me with an entire day of facebook updates
I browsed through some of the posts and picture comments and was annoying by how ignorant those group members are. They seem to equate anyone without a conservative political belief as a hippie. And theres something wrong when a person uses a cartoon show as a defense for his or her beliefs.

especially a satirical cartoon. The hippy episode of South Park was amazing. I was tempted to bring some Slayer to Bonnaroo because of it.

I haven't seen the group of which you speak, but I assume that you are taking this waaaaaaayyy to seriously. I'm sure it's just a joke. I belong to another message board where commie hippie smiting is all the rage, and it's really just a joke. We had a whole thread about commie hippi smiting and it went on for days and days. We sited everyone down to a man with no shine on his shoes and I met the guy who posted that and he's a long haired slacker in recovery. So relax. I think without having seen the group (I will have nothing to do with facebook, myspace, etc...) I think that you are taking them and yourselves a bit too seriously. It's probably just some people having stupid fun. Just ask the ghost of Ronald Regan. He'll smite your lazy commie slacker no good hippie sympathizing asses back into the fucking 60's that you ain't neve seen.
A lot of real hippies I have encountered are in fact idiots. This could be said of a lot of subcultures though. I look at it this way:
If you are more a hippie than a person, chances are you are a total douchetard. If you are a person who happens to be a hippie, chances I will get along with you. You could replace the word hippie with raver, hipster or young republican, and the truism would remain true for me.

I typically associate hippies with liberal views, not conservative. Plus I would use South Park as a defense without hesitation, it's a very good show with some good points. In fact, alot of Polictical Scientists relate the ideas of South Park to some of the rising issues of our generation. It's called South Park Conservatism, and it's the real deal

Hippies all got nothing left to laugh about......
....Including themselves.
Seriously guys, you know these sorts of blogs/groups/boards exist solely to rankle the self-described hippies like yourselves, right? Why give them what they want by joining their group and arguing?
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
