1) Since all FReepers are not of one mind you can't charge FReepers as a group with double-standards and hypocrisy. You must 1st go back to the 2004 FR thread and find individual FReepers who posted then against Frankel and posted for Trump on this thread . If you find any, you can make the charges against those Freepers. You have so far failed to do that.

2) Next, you would have to back up your charges by making the case that the actions of Trump today and Frankel in 2004 are comparable. Since Frankel bodily attacked a heckler that had not physically threatened or attacked anyone and Trump only advocated physical responses to the threats & physical attacks of hecklers - while never bodily attacking anyone himself - you will only fail on that count.

3) Even if the above facts were not the facts (supposing you did not fail on point 1 & 2) you would still fail to discredit the fundamental point of the thread: That Trump is a victim of a ruling-elite double-standard that gave Frankel a complete pass on his actions in 2004 and widely and loudly condemned Trump for his actions today. And that is true whatever a FReeper believes the correct standard for handling hecklers and violent/threatening protesters at campaign rallies should be - and whatever your opinion of Trump is.

Every single point you raised to draw distinctions between how FR reacted to the two incidents applies to the media as well.
