If they can get away with kicking a downed woman what's next? |
|
If a right-wing thug can kick a woman who is already down on the ground in full view of television reporters without massive repercussions then you can bet your butt they can, and will, stomp your brains out anywhere else in the country when the cameras aren't running and get away with it. Every outrage dulls us to outrage.
Think of this as a public service announcement.

2. The practically-total blackout of this story by the corporate media is obscene. |
|
Unless this assault is permanently hung around the neck of the GOP, the attacks will become more frequent and more violent. Unfortunately, I do not expect anything will be done. Smart money says the cretins are not punished in any way.

6. Are you talking about the blackout of the trend of right wing violence |
|
or just the head stomping incident? If it's the former, I agree, but the latter has been all over the news.
It's awful that this had to happen, but Moveon, and more specifically, Lauren, have done us a great service. As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words, and this video of a defenseless woman being curb stomped seems to have the MSM connecting the dots for the first time.
Of course, Ed,Keith, and Rachel are leading on this, but it is being discussed in other venues. Looks like this might just wake up the rest of the MSM that this is not an isolated incident.

4. And you can bet that the FBI is slow going after them |
|
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO BLOW UP THAT HOUSE IN VIRGINIA. There has been absolutely nothing in the news. But then it happened in Virginia and it seems like you can do anything you want to Democrats there and the governor and AG won't prosecute.

11. Cutting the gas line on the grill of a relative of a (D) Congress member. |

Didn't end up harming anyone, but it's the thought that counts, right?

I did know about that, but had forgotten. It was the house of the brother of a Dem, iirc.

5. I thought one of them was going to be... |
|
...arrested?
What happened with that?
There is videotape evidence! A lack of arrest would be bizarre!

8. Foreclosing on and kicking you out of your house when you never even had a mortgage? |
|
Oh wait- that's yesterday's news.
How about being arrested for wearing the wrong T-shirt?
Or having F-15's scrambled and facing 20 years in prison for writing a note about Gilligan's Island on a flight to Hawaii.

10. And they call liberals thugs. They get away with this shite because Dem fail to be sufficiently |
|
publicly, consistently outraged at every single egregious act these F%$kers commit.
Dems really suck at playing politics and are repeatedly punished for it. When will they ever learn?

14. One has to decide whether they are simply wimps -or worse TAKING A DIVE. -nt |
|
We all know Americans like 'strength'. Strength of convictions, no matter what those are, carry weight. This is the simple truth.Democrats are weak, and will not 'fight' for what they supposidly believe.
Its repulsive and very pathetic.
