You know what has happened? A Bernie nut attempted to assassinate Republican leaders at a baseball game. Has that changed the tone from the left? Not a tick. In fact, people like Maxine Waters have upped the rhetoric.
If the Dems didn’t want the heat to rise, they could lower the temp themselves.
I dunno the guys politics, but let's assume he's a Bernie supporter.. Certainly, he did it on his own.. Certainly, Bernie doesn't HATE the press.. Certainly, Bernie doesn't call them the enemy of the people.. Certainly, Bernie doesn't POINT to them in front of an adoring crowd and call them DISGUSTING, LOW LIFE, LYING people..
No, Bernie doesn’t say those things. But neither was his fan targeting the media. Bernie’s fan was targeting the hated supposed racist right wing politicians. And there is no shortage of hateful rhetoric against them.
It wasn’t Bernie’s fault that a member of his constituent attempted a high level political assassination. That lack of specific fault with leadership is the reason there is a leadership acceptance of general vitriol. But that coin has two sides.
Did Leftists rhetoric cause the attempted assassination of Republican leadership? No, a sick mind did. Will Right wing rhetoric cause an attack on the media? No, and I hope there is no such attack. But if there is, it will be the fault of a sick mind. And don’t expect anyone vitriolic leader on the right to accept calls for responsibility from Vitriolic leaders on the left who won’t take responsibility.
But if there is, it will be the fault of a sick mind.
Hello again, A:
I don't disagree. Who knows what'll set a crazy off?? Maybe just teeny tiny push'll do it.. Do you know what set off that nut who shot up the pizza joint??? Certainly, he THOUGHT he was doing Trumps bidding..
Look.. The Republic is a tinder box right now.. It needs to be CALMED down, not REVED up..
Rep. Maxine Waters has won over a whole new generation of adoring fans in the Trump era who have rechristened the Los Angeles Democrat as the Resistance hero “Auntie Maxine.”
But with her constant calls for President Donald Trump to be impeached — and her comments this weekend urging Democrats to challenge Cabinet members when they see them in public — Waters is making even members of her own party anxious.
And SUPER STUPID the Water Carrier of the Socialist says this - The Republic is a tinder box right now.* and DUMMY created by your party wake up SUPER STUPID !!!
But if there is, it will be the fault of a sick mind.

excpm
You are now excpm LMMFAO !!!!!!! What IDIOTS you Socialist are
EXCPM are you really relevant in your twisted thought when you cannot sign out as excon but you sign out as excpm !!!!!!!!!! Really you know nothing but one thing you do is carry your feelings on your shoulder like a child.
(CNN) -James T. Hodgkinson, the man identified as shooting a Republican member of congress and four others on Wednesday morning, was a small business owner in Illinois who defined himself publicly by his firm support of Bernie Sanders' progressive politics -- and his hatred of conservatives and President Donald Trump.
This is based on CNN's review of Hodgkinson's Facebook profiles, public records, and three years of impassioned letters to his local newspaper.
"Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co." he posted on his personal Facebook page on March 22.
"Republicans are the Taliban of the USA," he posted in February.
Hodgkinson's online presence was largely defined by his politics. For example, his public Facebook posts date back to 2012 and are nearly all about his support for liberal politics. He was passionate about tax hikes on the rich and universal health care.
In the past year, most of his Facebook posts consisted of signed petitions on Change.org with titles such as: "Bernie -- please run no matter what;" "Hillary Rodham Clinton should concede the nomination to Bernie Sanders;" and "Healthcare for all Americans."
In one public post on May 24, he signed a petition to "Stop the NEXUS Pipeline" in Michigan and Ohio. After Hodgkinson's Facebook profiles were discovered by news reporters, they were updated to prevent public access.
Now SUPER STUPID is your precious media been attacked by a gun wielding Republican ?
“Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
So Maxine Waters doesn't come under the First Amendment? Wrong color, I suppose. I think she has a right to express her opinion, WE have a right to accept or ignore it. I think she got a bit "carried away".
Now, let's be fair and look at Trumps rally in Ohio. He CERTAINLY used HIS First rights. Many, if not MOST of his remarks were of the middle school variety … embarrassing and childish! DOZENS of them! CHEERED by those that agree with having a "middle school president" who divides, connives with our enemies, insults our allies, thinks the First doesn't apply to the free(?) Press … doesn't want people to believe what they see! Divides, divides, divides! Yep! Waters stepped a bit out of line … Trump dumped a basket of deplorables over it!
Don’t pull that shit al. It’s inaccurate and unnecessary. Her didn’t make her say stupid things.
And no, I don’t condone the stupid shot Trump says either. I don’t like that we have an ignorant child as a President. Because I thought he would be the worsts thing for the GOP, I didn’t vote for him. But before you get all concerned about the reporters who are perfectly safe (and no longer being wire tapped), consider that it isn’t the Rights political opponents being harassed on the streets, shot at in baseball games, and sparking riots to protest them. It’s the opponents of the Left.
Q: How does the ACLU propose to ensure equal opportunity in education?
A: Universities are obligated to create an environment that fosters tolerance and mutual respect among members of the campus community, an environment in which all students can exercise their right to participate meaningfully in campus life without being subject to discrimination. To advance these values, campus administrators should:
speak out loudly and clearly against expressions of racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic speech, as well as other instances of discrimination against marginalized individuals or groups;
react promptly and firmly to counter acts of discriminatory harassment, intimidation, or invasion of privacy;
create forums and workshops to raise awareness and promote dialogue on issues of race, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity;
intensify their efforts to ensure broad diversity among the student body, throughout the faculty, and within the college administration;
vigilantly defend the equal rights of all speakers and all ideas to be heard, and promote a climate of robust and uninhibited dialogue and debate open to all views, no matter how controversial.
“We should refuse to allow hateful speakers on campus,” a campus faculty member said.
The statement was met with resounding applause. I mentally prepared for the response to what I was going to say next.
It was September, and I was at a forum at which several professors, including me, discussed free speech issues before a large audience of students at the University of California Berkeley. Several faculty and students had already implored Chancellor Carol Christ to revoke the invitations of conservative provocateurs Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter to speak on campus, and their declarations were met with enthusiasm.
You know what I think is NUTS.. Free speech zones are NUTS. Gun free zones are NUTS. Requiring a permit to assemble is NUTS. That's because they're ALL Constitutionally protected acts..
And, what you say is true.. EFFECTIVE civil disobedience sometimes gets violent.. Two cases in point: Violently taking over a ship and dumping its contents into the sea is one, but thank goodness they did.. Before the riots in Ferguson, the DA NEVER took police misconduct cases to the Grand Jury. Now, they do..

What Crazy AL are the Progressives wanting to dial down the heat here you BRAIN DEAD SOCIALIST !!!!!!!!!
EXCPM you need to answer that question you Confused DUMMY !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello poochy boy:
Yeah, I type SOOO fast that sometimes excon comes out excpm. I think it's funny... What's funnier still is that you glom onto it as though it's a reason to diss me.. If THAT's the best argument you have, let's just call it a victory for me and all the good people of the world..
So what do you do with your life when you're not busy lying about being Jewish
Hello hater and science denier:
I don't tell you how to practice your faith.. Truth is, I wouldn't have the faintest IDEA how to practice your faith. To do so is just contrary to who I am.. I simply can't imagine ANYBODY doing that.. Yet, here we are..
But, if you're GONNA tell me HOW to be Jewish, you better fucking be right, and you're FUCKING WRONG. You don't know SHIT about being a Jew.. You THINK it's like Christianity.. You can't fathom that it's not. But, being WRONG, doesn't stop you..
So, let me educate you... But, FIRST, let's be CLEAR.. You don't wanna LEARN.. You wanna HATE.. I got it.. Nonetheless, I'm gonna learn ya, you anti-Semitic piece of drek. Yes, that's a JEWISH word.
In order to BE a Christian, you have to BELIEVE like one.. Pursuant to the Talmud, which IS Jewish law, in order to BE a Jew, you have to ACT like one.
And, I DO.
So, you know NOTHING about Jews, and NOTHING about SCIENCE.. Is that gonna stop ya? No, of course not. Hate RULES in your life.. But, we've run into better haters than you, and we survived.. Thrived, really, and that's why you HATE us soo much..
Truth is, I wouldn't have the faintest IDEA how to practice your faith. To do so is just contrary to who I am.
Wait... Are you saying you have changed your mind about being an atheist? When did this happen?
So, let me educate you
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
But, FIRST, let's be CLEAR.. You don't wanna LEARN.. You wanna HATE
You are the one of us typing in caps lock, retard.
you anti-Semitic piece of drek.
You do not seem to understand that you are not a Semite, you child-abusing, Islamaphobic, gay-hating neo-Nazi piece of donkey shit. Why do you REFUSE to accept the SCIENCE which PROVES that your DNA is NOT Semitic?
Most Ashkenazi Jews, traditionally believed to have descended from the ancient tribes of Israel, may in fact be maternally descended from prehistoric Europeans.
But you aren't Jewish. You are an atheist with European heritage. Why do you refuse to accept this simple fact?
So, you know NOTHING about Jews
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The IDIOT who thinks Jews are the same thing as Semites, the IDIOT who REFUSES to accept that he is not a Semite, and the IDIOT who thinks he is Jewish despite being an atheist says I "know nothing about Jews".
ROFLMAO. That's hilarious Con. But seriously: you're fucking retarded. In fact, it's worse than that because you're also a pathological liar. Every time someone points out that you aren't Jewish you call them an anti-Semite. It's fucking nauseating watching you attack other people with complete fucking LIES while you simultaneously try to play the victim.
Go fuck yourself with a coat hanger, you nasty little liar.
Here's the part you don't understand.. I'm not REQUIRED to believe in God in order to "practice my faith". So, I can BE an atheist, and "practice" my faith at the same time.. You can't, poor fellow..
Let's examine what "practicing your faith" actually is. I go to shule. I wear a talis. I say the words. I sing the hymns.. I light the candles.. I blow the shofar.. I celebrate the holidays. Yes, I even wear the little black beanie. I LOVE the ceremony.. I LOVE the culture. I participate in the culture. I AM the culture.. I simply don't believe in God..
Of course, as I've reminded you many times, according to Jewish law, I'm not REQUIRED to believe in God. You don't LIKE that.. So, you attempt to IMPOSE Christian requirements on Jews..
Frankly.. Atheists wouldn't do that.. Angry Christians would.. I don't think you're an atheist at all..
