When the GOP wants to show examples of liberal extremists, they show anarchists and Kathy Griffith. When Dems want to show examples of right wing extremists, they show clips of the President and Congressmen. Both sides.

How much face time did Maxine Waters get in that ad?

Some.  His point still stands.  Madonna, Johnny Depp, Kathy Griffin and anarchists are not representative samples of "the left".

But you knew that.

Actually, they are. Do you read these boards?

You just have to be for enforcing the law at the border.  Or be a conservative. That's all it takes.  Bush didn't troll the left like Trump, and it wasn't all that much different.  And Bush wasn't even conservative.

A member of the GOP ran for congress. Prior to the election, he violently assaulted a reporter.  Not a mean joke. Not words.  Physically assaulted.  He was then elected by the GOP voters who dismissed the assault and even defended it.

Paul Ryan has nothing to say about that.

But Maxine Waters said some things.

Yeah, fuckwads, call me when an "unhinged leftie" runs over an innocent person with a car at a KKK rally.

So now you are saying the liberals aren't any different than they've been for 20 years?

And just to be clear, many of the groups who have gone the violent or destructive route were doing the same against the Obama administration.  You can look at G8 and G20 protests going years back and you have destructive protests, with many of the groups using the same "globalist" rhetoric that Trump supporters use.  The mostly peaceful OccupyWallstreet, BlackLivesMatter, and the antipipeline protests all occurred during the Obama administration.  The idea that the Democrats are inciting destructive or even violent riots against the Trump administration is absurd. There are plenty of issue groups who have been pissed off for years. 

What the Republicans are currently being pussies about is that people are yelling at them.  In restaurants.  Outside their homes.  They are getting yelled at.  It's a strategy I don't really support, but at the same time, fuck them.  Civility is hallow without some basic humanity.  Stop putting kids in Walmart prison, and maybe I'll give a shit if you can't finish your crème brulee in peace.  Boo fucking hoo, stop being Nazis you fucking pussies.

This has been the GOP strategy for many years now. Scare this shit out of old stupid people. It started with drugs, then the gays, then the muslims, then the mexicans, now the "left". It's been an effective strategy. One of these days the message will get obnoxious enough to inspire the political agnostics to vote out of spite in enough numbers that the modern GOP will wilt and die. Maybe 2018, maybe 2020, who knows? But it's coming. The GOP is the VCR and society stopped making VHS tapes a while back.

The GOP will not die, but this version of it will.  And it will take a decade to remake it.  I said it when he was elected, but Trump's victory was the absolute worst thing that could have happened to the modern GOP.

You forgot "and get indignant on the rare occasion the left actually drops down to play dirty".

That's the funniest part about this whole charade from the GOP. They've been happily wallowing in the mud, neck deep, ever since Sarah Palin came along, and now they are appalled that some on the left want to play their game.

i said it during the primary. i called the republican primary a fucking circus with trump as the lead carnival barker. escriva admonished me with sneering condescension that the grown ups ran the R party and that it was indeed not a circus. 

well, we now have a clown for a president. congrats, GOP!

I always have a high degree of skepticism towards anyone who attempts to argue that their side is the correct side, using only the argument that the other side is evil / extremist / lunatic / anti-American / etc.

It's a completely worthless exercise, peddled by those with the least intellectual firepower.

Good ol Joe Wilson must have come to grips with liars. He's been dead silent on the topic ever since the black guy left the office. Do you think it's just because Trump never lies?

MESSAGE RECEIVED.

Tea Party Protests - patriotic Americans

Liberal Protests - unhinged extremists

How about we recognize the fringe elements on #bothsides as unhinged lunatics.

Before that, it was the Russians.  And, outside of the Red Scare, things were better then because Americans had a common enemy, and that enemy was a powerful easily identified nation state who saw us as their enemy as well.  We made rapid technological advancements because we were all on the same page.  Since we lost the Russians, we have been fighting ourselves in some form or another.  Now, we'd struggle just to build a Saturn V rocket and get it to the moon using the same 60 year old blueprints.

There was a homersecksul reporter for one of the major news networks that ran a woman down with his car because he wanted the goddamned parking spot during the Florida recount back in 2000.  Forgot his name, but just another lib I’m sure.
