Yes, and she had to leave a toxic comment about Obama supporters within it, something she didn't have to do--and I'm not going to ignore either.
It's a thread that was going to go nowhere anyway--but I'll talk about it: Yes, it's horrible that someone in that position choked an autistic kid on a bus, they should face some charges. It's a sign of how all republicans are against helping kids with autism. See what I did there? Ok I'll stop. Yeah, there should be charges pressed against the individual.A thread that we are trying to get back on track, by the way.
Sorry--but I do not accept the idea that being intolerant of intolerance is THE SAME THING as being intolerant of anything else.
PMing Calypso about her post would result in me being laughed at. She doesn't even care if there are double standards. There is nothing that could have been solved with a PM to Calypso.
I'm not disputing the rules.But in the areas for serious discussion, rules are going to be enforced to a higher degree than elsewhere. Doesn't matter if it's LWNJs or RWNJs.

I don't think we'd be quick enough, Kizzume. Let's see, a few minutes and Loughner was tied to Gov. Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Republicans. Liberals can access blame to anyone and accept none.
As to the bus driver and the aide, I don't know. But, I wouldn't vote against Calypso on that one.
I've been thinking about this. The point IS that these two were abusing a child, a disabled child. I'm not even absolutely sure about the race of the child so i'll have to wonder if that had a factor in this. I definitely think the child's condition and age, powerlessnesswere a factor. These two adults were entrusted with getting these children to and from home safely. And they failed. miserably. THEY were the predators.
Let's look at the left's response to this. The attack is NOT ON the abusers but on my remark...and i feel quite confident that i AM correct, they are obama supporters but that is not really the crux of the matter even though it is subtly. 'What's the matter is that EVERYONE, even the left, must ignore the reality of what happened to that child. The abusers haven't faced punishment yet. They were re-assigned, NOT put on suspension, but re-assigned. How telling for those in charge. But still, the rest of us must cluck our tongues and ignore the reality of what is going on in our country, our society, our culture and soon in your daily life.
