I happen to really like most of the conservatives here, and I don't hold their party affiliation against them in the slightest. I would have gotten cranky either way. It depends on the context around the statement as well- joking is one thing, but flame-baiting is another. If I were to go into a predominantly conservative area and start spouting off negatives, I would deserve what I got. Of course, the only reason I would even do so would be if I were looking to start a fight.
