    Just a joke? Think he's laughing about getting suspended for a week? Without pay, BTW.

    On Dec 7, 1941, 73 million Japanese did not attack Pearl Harbor. They went about their daily loves. And, what the hey, it's only collateral damage.

    Dude, believe what you want to believe. I believe in reality. I wonder how someone can twist their brain around as much as you did to to avoid any negative brain waves. The guy physically two women that we know of. He was not fired after assaulting the one that works for Renke. He was only fired after this whole issue blew up and became too big for Brock to spin. American Bridge is aware of his propensity to beat conservative women. Stark even admitted that it was his job.

    There's no need to panic. These daily, physical attacks on Republicans by libs are all isolated events. There is no pattern here.

    You believe in reality? That is exactly how the Democrats felt in committee. He has a propensity to confront women, not beat anybody.
    Funny how the flock interprets things when the shoe is on the other foot. By the way, there are nutballs on both sides of the aisle.
    The vast majority totaling millions of people do not behave in the aggressive manner that you and the flock have assigned to all Dems.
    The flock is certainly no better as shown by their manner of dissing journalists at the Trump show. Believe what you want.

    I know what the article said. My point was if it was a joke, why did his Democratic bosses lay him off without pay? They didn't have your sense of humor?

    Try harder? :roflol:

    I didn't jokingly say it so why are you assigning it to me? Evidently, he thought that it was funny and his boss did not, probably because
    the boss figured correctly that the Trump flock would jump all over it.

    I have a very good friend that is female that would put this guy in the hospital for weeks without any effort. She weighs maybe 110. She is the most capable person I have ever met for unarmed defense. I have met some pretty deadly folks in 28 years in the military. His trachea would be embedded in his spine. Weight and gender aren't a good factor to depend on in risk mitigation when trying to figure out who the soft target is. Best thing to do is not to put hands on another person.

    So Rosanne calls someone an ape and you all have a fit and celebrate her leaving her show but this man calls for murder of Republicans and a single week suspended without pay is OK for you? This man should be FIRED for what he said. You left wingers are so confusing.

    Rosanne called a woman an ape and you all freaked out. Some could see that as a joke. So joking about murdering Republicans is OK but calling someone an ape is not OK? You guys are so confusing. Had this been a Republican that said this you all would want him fired.

    There is far more violent Democrats right now then there is Republicans. How many do you think are in Antifa? Anyone who is in Antifa regardless if they are violent is representing a violent group just like Black Lives Matter did so you can't compare your side to Republicans.

    When Trump became president the left became very violent. This did not happen at this level when Obama became president. So you are wrong.

    MOBS VS. JOBS:

    GOP Candidate Recovering From Assault Blames Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder.

    “Shane Mekeland, a Republican candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives, blamed Democrats for the climate of incivility and violence that led to the assault against him last weekend. He also called out the Minnesota Democratic Party for refusing to fire a staffer who posted on Facebook that Democrats would ‘guillotine’ Republicans after the election. On Friday evening, he suffered a concussion after being sucker-punched in the head in a politically motivated attack. A full recovery will take 4 to 6 weeks. The election is in 19 days.”​

    I didn't freak out and I don't know what Rosanne did or do I care. Joking about bringing Republicans to the guillotine on election day
    means that they will be defeated, yes? Election day--voting. And you are either very aware of this or ignorant. Oh, I am a Republican,
    just not a Trump fan.

    No, you are wrong. The Obamas' received death threats and racist rants after the election. There is no level because there are nutcakes on "both sides, on both sides." The Democrats are not my side. The Trump flock is also not my side.

    I don't care who he blames. That doesn't make it true. The fact is that Trump's divisive, denigrating remarks have resulted in this unacceptable behavior by some on the fringe.

    I am not listening because you are not making any sense and there is another viewpoint that doesn't necessarily agree with yours.

    Oh fer crissake, just stop.

    How can you make the claim that calling people bad names is the same as physically attacking them? You will never convince me that you actually believe that. I can't imagine that you will convince anyone that those are equivalent acts. I can't even believe that you think you will convince anyone. Please, just stop.

    Flock people physically attack people--white supremacists? Not everybody describes attacks in political terms. I don't care whether I convince flock members or not. I am simply pointing out how pathetic they are.

    "Flock people physically attack people--white supremacists?"

    Sorry. I have no idea what this means.

    "Not everybody describes attacks in political terms."


    I think that it's obvious that we are discussing obviously politically motivated physical assaults. I'm not sure how you can claim to have an alternate understanding of the subject of this thread.

    "I don't care whether I convince flock members or not. I am simply pointing out how pathetic they are."

    Well, you whiffed on that one.
