If you are a Republican, you WILL be harassed by the media.

Yes they are and have been for quite a while, remember the Tea Party? how it was demonized, slandered and mocked simply for peacefully expressing its viewpoints? remember how members of the press went after the children of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin? remember all the non-so subtle allegations regarding John McCain's children? What about the continuous personal attacks on the Trump Family? These are just a few examples of the harassment tactics the left has engaged in and you know what the result of these tactics has been...

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP , his election is a direct response by the ranks of the Republicans trying to fight "fire with fire" regardless of whether or not everyone gets burned.

...and if this petty childishness keeps up a decade from now you'll look back and say to yourself "Gee, compared to the douche bag in office now Trump was pretty reasonable".

The Republicans are certainly not blameless and engage in their own petty harassment tactics but the case in point illustrates why the National Dialog has devolved into a picayune pissing contest.

You don't de-escalate by overstating a case with cartoonish commentary; do you?
The OP doesn't represent a National News outlet, so I for one don't think the hyperbole is unwarranted or destructive, in fact it might serve to facilitate a constructive conversation since he/she didn't attack ANYONE here personally, right? You're the one that is personalizing it.

Don't you see that the fact you can itemize the attacks that you're making my point for me? Do you have examples for every Republican? Of course you don't. Especially when you consider the shrill snowflake in the OP said it was the media harassing the every republicans.
Umm.. as I ALREADY SAID, the OP's hyperbole doesn't detract from the point, you're only focusing on it because either you are consciously resisting getting past your internal partisan bias or are completely incapable of doing so. It appears that you refuse to see the bigger picture because cognitive dissonance is a more comfortable state for you than questioning your own strongly held opinions.

The totality of the argument in the OP is what I'm referring to.
Really? So far all you've done is object to the thread title while completely bypassing the point that the current trajectory that is exemplified by that idiotic OpEd represents a completely UNACCEPTABLE state of affairs that will only result in further escalation of this sort of nonsense.

And, by the way...if you're talking about people being unfairly harassed by the media, is anyone questioning the birth certificates of these poor republicans?
Typical partisan response, attempting to advance the old "two wrongs make a right" argument in order to deflect from the reality that this escalation of childishness is being instigated by "your side".

Stop personalizing it and evaluate the situation honestly & objectively, or at least try to.

I have. You have not.

LOL, okay, I guess "honestly and objectively" has a completely different meaning on your planet than it does here on Earth. :rolleyes:

That being the case, far be it from me to attempt to interfere with another individuals freedom to remain willfully ignorant of the obvious.

Interesting:

Will there ever again be a Republican official NOT trashed by the media?
Addressed already and you acknowledged it was not true. I’d call it a lie—which it is—but lets use your term, ‘hyperbole’ that conservatives use when they talk about the lies of other conservatives.

Whose family and friends aren't smothered with lies and inuendo?
Quick, what is the name of Pat Ryan’s wife? We should know if she is being smothered in lies and innuendo. I don’t recall reading a single word about her. Or Mitch McConnell’s wife who is a cabinet secretary. Any word There are thousands of Republican law makers whose family (much less friends) are complete unknown. So this is another lie.

Whose co-workers and supporters aren't harassed on a daily basis?\
I work with a bunch of republicans. We don’t get into shouting matches. Ever.

Is this country cooked?
Really?

No more freedom, liberty, property rights.
Okay…I guess you don’t have any liberty or property rights?

Nothing but sexual perversion and government rule?
We seem to be talking about the NFL playoffs at work. Where does that fit in?

Feel free to go point by point and tell us where he makes a single true statement.

Until then, Ciao.

LOL, Yes thank you for attributing all sorts of quotes to me that I never wrote.

Your demonstration of the depth and breadth of your own dishonesty was wonderful and provides yet further evidence that "honestly and objectively" does indeed have a completely different meaning on your planet than it does here on Earth, thanks for helping to prove my assertion.

I was showing you every line in the OP that you’re supporting. I asked you where “he makes a single true statement” You can’t.

You’re the one being dishonest. And you know this. I imagine you’re trying to be funny. Not working.

LOL, Oh is that what your kind calls the misattribution of quotes?

When you grow up and can directly address valid points using reason instead of attempting to employ disingenuous, infantile gimmicks give me a shout, until then pray continue your partisan wind-up toy impressions.

Your personal attacks are not unexpected. It’s what your type does when they can’t defend their point.
