Nancy Pelosi made a startling admission on the floor of the House Wednesday after Speaker Paul Ryan spoke about the shooting attack on Republican members of Congress and staff at a baseball practice: “To my colleagues, you’re going to hear me say something you’ve never heard me say before: I identify myself with the remarks of the speaker.” She was making a light-hearted reference to how unusual it is for her to agree with the leader of the Republican majority. She looked around as she delivered the line, expecting a laugh.
It would be better if she instead looked in a mirror and considered how a culture of vilification she helped to create may have motivated that morning’s attacker. James T. Hodgkinson, the man who died after a shootout with Alexandria, Va., and Capitol Police officers, has been described by neighbors, acquaintances and at least one friend as a “mellow” guy who was politically active but in control. He campaigned for presidential contender Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary. But somewhere along the line, his outlook started to go off the rails and he joined various anti-GOP Facebook groups, including "Terminate the Republican Party"; "The Road to Hell Is Paved With Republicans"; and "Join the Resistance Worldwide!!"
It’s easy to see how Hodgkinson’s anger at Republicans might have been fed by a steady diet of toxic hyperbole dished up by progressives. It’s trendy now to frame disagreement with Trump’s agenda as “resistance.” The term evokes the French Resistance in World War II that carried out sabotage and assassinations.
May the US leftists get the same reward as France’s Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre.
Blood sucking vampires can use a mirror?
No can do, that would require them to bathe!
Does anyone know if those facebook groups are still allowed to operate? Is motherzuckerberg still allowing their hate on the site that he stole from the Winklevoss twins?
Progs are true belliever fanatics completely incapable of looking at themselves objectively.
They’re a bunch of haters spreading hate, then pretending to be upset when someone acts on it.
The Party of Hate produces haters, violence, armed protestors, welfare cheats, prison inmates and illegal aliens.
What’s to like?
The progs chanted "Bush is Hitler". Hitler was a national socialist and the progs are socialists. What the hell are they saying? Are they saying Bush is like them?
Why? What would they see? Only how good they are and not the evil they really are. Would be a waste of their time.
Is that you Rush? ;-}
In Psych 101, it’s called projection.
I've learned from the best...
Not quite projection, but more a cynical effort to redirect and/or dilute blame.
After all, ‘Everybody does it...’
No. It’s too late for that. They are “irredeemable “.
has been described by neighbors, acquaintances and at least one friend as a “mellow” guy who was politically active but in control.
That is completely wrong, the media national media has distorted him to NOT be a loon. He had multiple legal issues and was described as “an angry little man, with a chip on is shoulder” by his own lawyer. Another lawyer described him as “He was right and you were wrong” type of person.
Democrats only care about themselves...self centered, childish, arrogant, and selfish rats. They could care less about the best for Americans and more about their party...it is always about their party winning and they don’t care about the cost or consequences.
The person who stole Facebook censors Conservatives, but hate groups from the left are fine. The MF is a bastard.
