Like many others, I've gone into muddy arguments on this forum where people like me who dislike Hillary Clinton were accused of racism or sexism for being too economically progressive, and those with views opposite mine were accused of being Republicans.

I'm not sure it this occurred around here or not, but I was once accused of being anti-Semitic for expressing negative views of the top ten wealthiest Americans. Apparently, because several of them are Jewish, if I attack them I hate all Jews.

Nobody has really insulted me for being too left wing, as least as far as I remember, but I have been downvoted on le reddit for pointing out that overrated rich boy objectivist emotional abuser Elon Musk is a snake oil salesmen.

I was banned from alternatehistory.com for saying that parents have too much power over their children.

Nazi, I guess? Almost solely on this forum... I've gotten used to it and don't really care anymore, but calling someone whose family members were killed by Nazis and whose grandfather narrowly escaped them a Nazi just in order to make sure the insult would be as offensive as possible remains extraordinarily tasteless. However, at this point I have spent too much time on the internet to really be insulted by anything anymore.

I was banned for:
1. Jokingly advocating Neo-Confederacy propaganda. (With a wonky face at the end)
2. Making a sock account to appeal my ban when tthey refused to answer 4-5 repeated attempts at contacting them to appeal it.

I've been accused of being an anti-Semite because I criticise Israel when they do something truly horrific, and thus, am declared a bigot who hates all Jews and it has been implied that I want to restart the Holocaust more than once.

I've also been accused of being a racist and a sexist for being critical of Hillary and Obama, both of which are blatantly untrue.

Online I don't know how many times I've been called a paid agent for the CIA, NSA, FBI, JIDF, Mossad, Ukrainian Security Service, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, "Rothschilds," "Rockefellers," "Bilderberg," "Freemasons," "Illuminati," and "Luciferians."

It sucks to be told that you must be a paid agent because no one online actually believes real people have your political views.

Take any AH.com thread that is a few years old and half the people on it are banned.

I got called a "stupid inbred f***" for some combination of not supporting same-sex marriage (but still thinking it should be legal, just not liking it) and not wanting illegal immigrants to get amnesty.

I'm gay, but I don't support the litigation strategy of obtaining gay equality. I've disagreed with all of the "wins" the gay community has had before the Supreme Court: Romer v. Evans, Lawrence v. Texas, U.S. v. Windsor, and Obergefell v. Hodges.

I don't know of many insults directed personally at me, but the worst is probably "liberal snowflake."  As for people who share similar views (which I would consider a personal attack as well), it would probably be racist, sexist, Islamophobe, fascist, reverse Robin Hood, or socialist.  Being called a bigot is especially hurtful to me because I've devoted much of my energy to fighting bigotry, and it's one reason I became a Republican in the first place.  I also am hurt especially by the claim that Republicans are just a bunch of greedy, stingy, heartless ogres who don't care about ordinary Americans.

More recently I'm an "incel" for not showing proper respect for the Bush family. It was probably a misunderstanding, as I was trying to imply that the media is trying to whitewash a public figure for ratings and instead was interpreted as saying she's Adolf Hitler, but the remark was really dudebro-esque and didn't actually make sense. Why the hell would I want to be have sex with a Bush family member?

Was frequently called a Nazi by Democrats back when I was a Republican and supported Bush, and was often called either a Nazi or a commie by Republicans for supporting Obama (along with various expletives in all of those instances.)
