That pretty much describes what the left is doing.
IMO, the word “vitriol” lacks gravitas.
Vitriol is the new “racism.”
These people are shameless.
You can always tell when the left thinks they are losing. They call calm, conciliation, compromise, etc.
Talking points - liberals lost the ability to think for themselves years ago...
Vitriol is the Demonrat party’s flavor-of-the-month. February will bring another word to harp on until we’re tired of hearing it.
Vitriol sounds like pecker medicine. Just sayin’...
John Edwards, as far as I can tell, was correct about one thing and one thing only. There are two Americas.
This nightmare in Arizona and the reaction to it is only hardening those lines of division.
It’s a dangerous game the left has decided to play (no, Mr. FBI, that is not a threat) because it only feeds the fear of countless citizens that elected officals and the fourth estate cannot be trusted.
You can bet that when the Republicans put the Obamacare repeal back on the docket in the house, we’ll hear cries of, “See...more vitriol from the right!”
If dissent is perceived as “vitriolic”, then so be it. They want us to stop dissenting.
- - He's insulted his predecessor, President Dubya, numerous times.
- - He's gone out of his way to insult our traditional allies.
- - Obama insulted the U S Supreme Court, to their face, in the SOTU.
- - IIRC, he's insulted and disrespected the finest among us, those who wear the uniform.
- - IIRC, he believes that his critics are "enemies".
The list goes on.
Am I wrong here? Has there ever been a U. S. President who would closely fit the term "vitriolic"?
.
let’s end vitriol, end this stuff ...
