The Democrats crossed no line.
Individual idiots crossed a line. This was not a political act, this an insensitive idiot.
We need to look, at this as something other than partisan sniping and tit for tat of who's side is worse and who's is better behaved and condemn it for what it is.
Is anyone cheering these comments? I don't think so. She got fired for it. Maybe she'll reconsider her comments next time someone's kids are in her sites.
There's more of these ugly folks on your team than you'd like to think.
The easy answer is we should all condemn any attacks on the kids.
All of us.
But too many of the USMB posters only condemn attacks on kids of the party that they are affiliated with- and then equivocate- and want to talk about all of the other horrible attacks.
So attacks on:
Barron
Obama's kids
Palin's kids
Chelsea Clinton
All equally assholish.
Those who find it necessary to say 'well they did it first' or 'they did it worse' are missing the point.
Condemn the attacks- condemn all of the attacks.
And if you are outraged here, but rationalized when Obama's kids were attacked- take a look at yourself.
Sounds like you're just defending your fellow Democrats. You're doing it by way of claiming the other side does it too. You're not really condemning these bad people. These folks are on your team. You have to own it. You either condemn this awful stuff, or you don't. You can't have it both ways.
Only to a partisan idiot like yourself who has done nothing but try to attack Democrats in this thread.
Here is my first post- show me where I have defended anyone.
You do realize that neither of the attacks on young Trump were by the press right?
Two asshole 'comedy' writers attacked Barron- a despicable action- and yes- I would be glad to see them fired.
Dont' be an asshole- don't attack the kids- any of them.
Again, either flat-out condemn it, or don't. So far, you've kinda just half-heartedly condemned it by way of ranting about the other side doing it too. That's not really a full condemnation. You're kinda condemning, but at the same time defending. I call that Bullshite. Sorry, but that's how i see it.
You haven't.
