Agreed 100%, good post.
I think the media, and Hollywood, needs to dial back the hate-filled hysteria, quite a bit. 99% of us can listen to that without being driven to snap, but some people are unstable. It serves no purpose. |

Double standard?
You're post in that thread said
"Using the death of a 9 year old to push a political agenda speaks volumes of the class of people we still have in office."
and yet you said here "It appears the Democratic politicians have blood on their hands"
It appears that you are doing in this thread exactly what you complained about in that thread. Did I misunderstand one of the posts?
Isn't that a double standard? |

Except it is perfectly clear here, already, as to why this man did what he did .
Stop the bull#^&#^&#^&#^&, you know what I mean . You're smarter than that.
Double standard, yes, we all know what you would be saying and the other people on the left would be saying if this had been a Donald Trump supporter doing the shooting . The media would be having an orgasm
When I heard multiple people shot and then I heard that they were Republicans, I knew it wasn't a radical Islamist .

I don't know if I'd go that far.
The last election was between two people who were morally bankrupt reptiles. Here's the difference. I see huge (yuuge?) numbers of influential Republicans, calling Trump out when he acts like a jerk. Megyn Kelly had a huge show on Fox at the time, and she constantly criticized Trump. I don't see people on th eleft similarly calling out Obama for his bitter clingers remark, nor do I see people on the left bashing Hilary for her disgusting depiction of conservatives as racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic deplorables.
Both sides are being divisive, no question. But it's more tolerated on the left, also no question. When was the last time there was a college riot started by conservatives, in an effort to prevent a liberal speaker from speaking? |

Pretty sad state of affairs when it takes a violent incident like this, clearly a partisan motivated attack, to seemingly unify the two sides of congress, if only for the day. We can only hope they all reflect and commit themselves to the work on behalf of the American public, not their respective parties.....

Yes. Also a sad state of affairs when they only do this - if only for a day or two - when it is one of their own. |
