Loesch replied with class and restraint, but later suggested that the detractor had an awful (sick and psychotic is more accurate) hatred in his heart.

Low class scumbag, bad things happen to those that wish them on others

[Tahuyaman]

Yet another example of liberal tolerance.

Are we going to pretend that sickos on the right don't also post hateful messages?

[Tahuyaman]

Are we going to pretend that sickos on the right don't also post hateful messages?

Can you show any examples?

[ODB]

Can you show any recent examples?

Many that are intended to appear as from the right come out as from the left as well.

[pragmatic]

Are we going to pretend that sickos on the right don't also post hateful messages?

No pretending here. There are extremist players/posters on both ends of the political spectrum.

But there is no shortage of folks in either case who readily jump on the bandwagons ignoring the behavior in their own tribe. When called on it, the common response tends to be: "Yeah, but your side is waaaaay worse!".



I <heart> the interwebs.....!!!!!!

[Green Arrow]

Can you show any examples?

Against a judge (https://www.newsweek.com/new-mexico-compound-judge-death-threats-1076607)

Against an opposition researcher (https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/401115-twitter-user-who-helped-kick-alex-jones-off-spotify-received-death-threats)

RWDS hashtag on Twitter - Right Wing Death Squad (https://twitter.com/hashtag/rwds?lang=en)

You asked for any examples, do you have a specific number in mind or is this sufficient enough to prove that wackoism is human nature and not a partisan issue?

You're serious?

[Green Arrow]

You're serious?

Oh, we're going to play this game.

Not interested. I gave you the examples you asked for. If you want to be an obtuse partisan hack, that's your call but I'm not playing today. You may have the last word.

[jimmyz]

We should invite that guy in the OP to tPF

[Tahuyaman]

I have not seen any conservative journalists make such statemts.

Exactly, same shit, different day.

When your argument fails, don't quote what you are responding to, while moving the goal posts....the hard right's idea of discussion.

[Lummy]

Oh really.

That kind of trash talk is typically excused when it comes from blacks. We'll see, I suppose, but I doubt there will be any repercussions unless some draconian censorship can be applied to everyone, using him as poster child for the need of shorter leashes -- you know, some kind of positive spin that makes him look the hero for the censorship that befalls everyone.

[Chris]

Are we going to pretend that sickos on the right don't also post hateful messages?

Sure, some do, and they're generally admonished if not ostracised. But does your tu quoque exonerate Harriot?

[Tahuyaman]

when was the last time you saw a conservative journalist do such a thing?

[Tahuyaman]

FWI. I’m done feeding trolls. You’re on your own.

[Tahuyaman]

Liberal writers, journalists and entertainers are frequent flyers with this kind of stuff. Then they preach tolerance to everyone else.

What makes Michael Harriot a "journalist"? He's got a webpage or two and he's a podcaster. (Who isn't these days?) He appears to be primarily a Black activist with a burning need to draw attention to himself. He represents "liberals" just about as well or fairly as some White supremacist hillbilly represents "conservatives".

You put me in mind of the people who complain that "the Muslim community never condemns Islamic terrorism", but then when shown example after example of various Muslim clerics and officials doing exactly that, they (as someone noted) move the goalposts and try to pretend that their challenge was never answered.

Sometimes this forum resembles little else but a place where self-identified "conservatives" can go to preach about the innate sinfulness and cupidity of "liberals" and high-five one another about it, and to extol the virtues, manners and good hygiene of the Right. It's denial, self deception and intellectual laziness of the highest order, guys...and, trust me, it certainly doesn't make you look any smarter.

Pffft.

Why's it seem most everything you post could as well be addressed to you?

Such self-righteous moralizing.

What makes him a journalist? The same thing that made the guy killed in the Saudi embassy a journalist. He freelances as a journalist, among other things.

I agree. However, he runs hot and cold.

This thread isn’t about Trump.

[HumblePi]

Can you show any examples?
Conservative rock and roll guitarist Ted Nugent was one of several celebrities to go on a Twitter rant right after Obama won his second term in 2012, saying Americans voted for "economic and spiritual suicide" in voting for Obama and that it was "pimps, whores and welfare brats, and their soulless supporters" who elected a president that would "destroy America." Ted Nugent also questioned "what subhuman varmint believes others must pay for their obesity, booze, cell phones, birth control, abortions and lives."

It gets better. In the same month, Donald Trump joined Nugent in launching a Twitter tirade, calling the election "a total sham and a travesty" even before Obama was declared victor. After poll numbers came in, Trump actually urged people to start a "revolution in this country," though he declined to say what that revolution would look like. Trump later deleted many of his angry tweets.

Conservative radio talk show host Neal Boortz reportedly sarcastically congratulated a series of bad people for doing bad things throughout history, including Adolf Hitler, serial killer Ted Bundy, terrorist group Al-Qaeda and then... President Obama.

In a post on its website, the Cincinnati Tea Party says America was born in 1776 and died Nov. 6, 2012. The death, the group wrote, was ruled a suicide: "RIP America."
As you can see, the right has conveniently all been infected with collective amnesia about all the disgusting memes, jokes, threats and nastiness directed against Michelle and Barack Obama. And the above incidents were all done by people that are in the public spotlight, not merely some obscure, disgruntled twitter guy. Where was the outrage on the right then?

[Tahuyaman]

Speaking Ted Nugent, he vowed to stop the violent rhetoric and he has. He said he came to realize how his comments were not helpful.

The tea party thing wasn’t hoping for an individual suffer a horrible death.

Try again.

Anyone who thinks Ted Nugent's position on anything is relevant on anything needs a lobotomy.

[Standing Wolf]

Funny how the member (who now stalks me around the board because I hurt his feelings and called him out on his lack of consistency and logical thinking skills a couple of years ago) who is forever admonishing other members to "address the topic, not the poster" somehow apparently doesn't believe that rule should apply to him.
