Dont take the bait
REpublicans want to argue about who is more violent, who is more threatening. Keep the debate about truth. Do not cower in the spotlight of their ridiculous accusations. Do not get thrown off your game, one iota. Simply say, that you renounce violence, and threats, in any instance, and DO NOT WAVER. NO MATTER WHAT. When they say that Cantor was too, just renounce all violence. When you follow up, say it plain, they are acting like terrorists. In an organized fashion. We are not organized. They will be the bullies, not us.

That is all. NO tit for tat. That is for children.

6. That's the correct strategy. They are desperately trying to own the discussion right now.

9. The Republicans have spent every day of their lives kicking us in
the teeth since the day St. Ronnie became president.

So I guess I really need someone to tell me when to turn the other denture. Or when to start fighting back with every ounce of stored up anger, outrage, strength and (yes) righteousness.

14. I never said we have to fight back with violence. But perhaps I'm in
the wrong thread.

11. Cantor is trying to say he was shot at...
OH MY goodness gracious...took him three days to find it out. They are just trying to pretend that the Democrats are like they are. But no body believes it and you should see the great big picture and article about THIS. None of the things done to Democrats got 1/10 of the picture or written word space. Guess he is more important. Sitting there in front of a flag...poor man. Three days..to find out...KInda like remember when goofball on CNN SAID someone shot at his house, and it was only a spent bullet from a hunter.

13. No, he is saying that a bullett was found, IT WAS.
So what does that have to do with NOT renouncing violence?

17. And then, when you have them trapped, on camera, ask them to join you in renouncing ALL threats and
violence.
