Holy crap - this has to stop!

Not at all. Obama effigies were quite common. You never noticed?

Not me. Never saw one until the other day. and it got reposted often all of a sudden. Why no mention before?

It's actually been brought up quite a few times and was in the news. Maybe Brietbart didn't cover it.

I've been a member here and elsewhere for many years and didn't see it and never saw Breitbart. why mischaracterize me if you are right?

It's funny because I saw those effigies in the news and in discussion here. I think you maybe don't care enough to notice.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

It's always the others guys who are doing it???

What about all of undermining of the Obama Administration? The violent and hateful rhetoric coming from Trump.

Conservative violence against minorities and Muslims is ignored.

Both sides have ramped up the rhetoric, none more than Trump, exhorting his followers to beat up protesters and throw them out.

Wait a minute, what violent and hateful rhetoric coming from Trump towards Obama? And what violence against minorities and Muslims?

 

[Eaglewings]

Seriously. This toxic partisan political culture is poisoning civil society.

What the hell is wrong with us?

The left and the right pulling hair and screeching their bumpersticker slogans and broad brush pig ignorant partisan blamegaming? What's wrong with us?

I'm no youngster. I've never seen such a dangerous ambient.

We have someone shooting at one of our few remaining bipartisan non political fun charitable events because he wants to kill a bunch of (insert political party).

The rhetoric flooding the country is poisoning us. And no one wants to take responsibility for stepping up and saying "enough already". For changing it.

Our representatives are colleagues first and foremost. Political opponents second. They recognize it. That violence against one is violence against the others and against our very institutions. Why are we unable to recognize that?

It's a damn shame that our president played such a big role in the hatred and isn't the leader we need to heal the wounds.

Why is Trump not trying to calm things down...instead he will be tweeting about the new leak coming out on his investigation...

Fret not ----fellows in cyberspace--------chalk it up to SPRING FEVER----that vaguely unsettling
feeling that SOMTHIN' GOTTA GIVE....... ------it will pass

I used to always think that. This is different somehow. It's been going for a mighty long time now.

I'm thinking not more than 7 years. Did someone succeed when they sowed the seeds of division?

you forgot the 5 solid years he was accused of not even being an american. but a muslim born in kenya.

gee whiz.... who started that complete line of bullshit & only ended it so he could have a 30 minute infomercial spotlighting his newest hotel?

How is that the same as shooting people?
Or mainstream press outlets and writers papering the world with their endorsement of violent attack on the president, and their posted hope that the senator who was shot, die in the hospital?

This is why you people are crazy. you don't see the difference between disagreeing with you, and violent action. You believe it's appropriate for you to promote violent action, and engage in it, when you are faced with information you don't like, or don't agree with. Then you freak out when anybody dares to defend themselves from your violent, criminal attacks.

Typical fucking bullies and schizos.

save it sweety. violence is violence which i DO NOT condone so you are a fucking liar. your overlord condoned it at his rallies. he offered to pay the attorney bills.

And a perfect example of what I was talking about...

The HATE is on your side. You (collectively) get these nuts worked into a frenzy of hate until one of them thinks he's doing God's service. This is on you. Live with it.

No need to be attacking Coyote. She is not hating anyone........not to mention that hate is coming from all sides.

It's never going to change until we - the people on the ground - decide that THEY the people purporting to have an ideology in common with us - are going to far. You don't joke or make effigies about killing the president. You don't demonize the other side so much that nutters take that as permission to do something about it.

They have had their way for too long. We forgive and forget...2 weeks later back to the same old shit.

Congressmen (including da wimmens) actually represent their constituents fairly well.

Attacking them is attacking the wrong people. It was bad when that blond woman got shot and it's bad now.

The "Free Press" is over there pouring gas on the flames, too.

The press needs reigned in. For real.

Hoo boy. So, we have a 'Conservative' wanting to destroy our Constitution because of his personal politics. No, the free press shows all sides, and you just want the side that agrees with your ideology shown. One crazy is hardly any reason to destroy our Constitution.

More misrepresentation. I'm supposed to disregard my life and accept your words as fact? I never saw an Obama in a noose until leftists tried to justify their hate of Trump. No sale.

Why should he? The left has attacked him and his family. Time for retribution unless the left backs way off.

Somebody posting something stupid like that on the internet doesn't get around much. But teachers, actors and yes, so-called comedians get to a lot of people.

Hate is one thing and promoting violence is another.

 

[Coyote]

I've come to the point where I think liberal parts of America should be governed by liberals and conservatives should be governed by their own...

Maybe divide it up by blue areas and red areas. I don't see how we can ever agree on issues of maintaining this country.

We can work together in matters of national defense and be kind to each other.

That would be so boring. I love the diversity of different viewpoints even if I get pissed off. I would hate to be in a liberal echochamber. We need other voices around us reining us in, reminding us we aren't the only legitimate voices and - when we aren't yelling so loud we can't hear anyone - reminding us of our common humanity.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

As mush as Obama was bashed, I've never seen anything like what has been going on since the election.
The left has just went from being just mad when they lose an election, to psychotic this time around.

This constant 'resist, resist, resist' is going to start riots any time now.

Fortunately, Trump, at least momentarily disagreed with you when he spoke on this.

» FACT: Jared Loughner: Left Wing, Liberal - Blogger News Network

Caitie also said he was a pot head and was into the music of Hendrix, The Doors, and Anti-Flag. “We listened to political punk in high school & agreed with their leftist opinions for the most part. Anti-Flag was our band.”

She states that he adhered to the “straight edge” beliefs of Anti-flag for the first few years of High School, but “Junior year & on, no.”When she knew him, he had lot of friends, smoked pot, and dated girls, “until he got alcohol poisoning” in 2006 and dropped out of school. After that, he became very reclusive and was mainly a loner.

There is NO evidence that he was influenced by conservatives, but there is good evidence he was influenced by socialists. His my Space page, for example, listed Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto as some of his favorite books.

Hmm, looks like there were a lot of left-wing attempts on Nixon and Ford as well.

Coincidence? I'm thinking not.

What the hell? The shooting was done by a hard core partisan leftist. A right winger hasn't done anything of the sort in the last... I don't even know how many years if ever. I can hardly buy that this guy is a loner either, when it appears he just happens to go on a rampage exactly as the Trump assassination rhetoric is brought out.

Please stop trying to pretend with the stupid false equivalencies. It's dangerous to believe things are the same when they aren't.

TRANSLATION: This is the first time I've ever seen Republicans fight back! How can we possibly keep control if they keep telling the truth about us! It's not fair, I tell you!

P.S. Especially since they are winning!

Translation: Our campaign of demonizing the left is working very well (insert evil laughter).

Conservatives were not in the streets every weekend screaming their heads off. We've not encountered this level of vitriol in our lifetimes. You guys are simply unhinged and you should be monitored.

Democrats are hell-bent on destroying this administration.

Any rational person can see it on this board.

And a perfect example of what I was talking about...

Exactly. And it doesn't seem to dawn on them that their own thought process is exactly the same as the shooter's --- "Kill a bunch of (insert political party) because all (insert political party)s are "hell-bent on destroying", are "violent", are "insane" and "this is on you people". Same flawed thought process-- absurd partisan blanket generalizations and Composition Fallacies.

None so fucking blind as those who don't own a mirror.

Since you are blaming everyone else the answer to your question is no, you do not own a mirror.

Actually Bozo, what I do not do is engage in blanket Generalization or Composition Fallacies. What I do do is call them out when I see them, such as the one sitting immediately above this post.

Go ahead -- search my posts. Any thread any time.
