Why blame all democrats, Einstein?
These bad folks are on your team, no?
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.
I defended Obama's kids when they were attacked and I've seen Coyote call out others for attacking children. You're using a wide brush
There isn't any child I won't defend
Exactly - we've had our political differences but you've always called out attackers on kids. Syriously has also roundly condemned it.
Those that are trying to split hairs about "the other side" being worse are missing the point. Both sides do it, and as long as we focus on - oh but YOU guys, it remains somehow justified.
