It doesn't happen on both sides, oh foolish newbie. It only happens on the liberal side. Don't make unsupported accusations like that, that kind of trash talk needs supporting examples.

Btw, welcome to FR!<<

Thank you for the welcome.

I'd give you some supporting examples if I could tell whether or not you were serious. But I'm new here and still learning.

Reid's apology was just as disingenuous as his original statement was obscene.

The little snot said the called Carl Rove because President Bush was "probably asleep" without making reference to a time difference.

I am really beginning to despise this man.

I am serious. Yes, you can find some examples of personal attacks on libs by conservatives. In the technical sense you are right, both sides do do it. We just have to go back to the Clinton era to see that.

HOWEVER, you will be hard pressed to find any attacks by high-profile conservatives, and none, repeat, none, of the type Dusty Harry used.

How do I know? Because the attack would be plastered all over the front pages of the LSM (lame stream media) for weeks. The person responsible for it would be forced to apologize on every Sunday morning show, he would be berated by the likes of Dusty Harry, his staff and a myriad of assorted other Senators and Representatives. Press conferences would be held 3 times per day for a week excoriating him for his meanspiritedness. The congressman's staff would undergo intense scrutiny, and at least one would be fired. He would be forced, through political pressure, to resign from various panels and committees.

THEN, he would be called cold hearted, cruel, and unresponsive to criticism.

Trent Lott is a good example, of what happens if a Republican makes a mistake. And he didn't say anything that even approaches the level of Dusty harry's outburst, nor is he a conservative. Either one of the those conditions (conservative, or a real attack) would have resulted in a true Nuclear Option being excercised by the Libs.
