The left...unhinged, angry, rabid, beyond mean-spirited

I understand her passion but this was way over the top. For the same reasons I never posted the tweet pic of the idiot liar in chief blowing his brains out the side of his head to "make America great again". That would require a time machine and an election do-over.

That "tastelessness" of that graphic was a far cry from a video of a beheaded president, yet where's the hand wringing from the left about the "tone of political discourse" ? Hell, a comedienne was recently celebrated for suggesting that the Prez's mouth is a "cock holster".

We have a news media churning out almost daily fake news with thread-bare or non-existent sourcing. We have Dems taking to the floor of the House calling for impeachment when no evidence exists of any crimes.

But I post a thread in a political discussion forum about a groups of individuals who post a video showing a beheading of a Prez to help promote their latest project, and I'm the problem???

Thanks for demonstrating that I chose the thread title wisely.

One characteristic of people like whell: no matter how well-founded the criticism of them, they are never abashed, they always redouble their attacks.

As noted, he didn't post about a "group of individuals," he used a bit of OTT satire as a club to bash "the left." But that's not the worst. His illogical response above is the worst, because it mixes up all criticism of the President with the mock beheading, attempting to so dismiss all of it.

Thus sayeth the blameless St. Whell.

It is interesting and telling that no one here from the "unhinged, rabid, angry" left saw fit to adopt the image by posting it here.

Barrack Obama brought out the worst among us, Trump brings out the worst in us. I say it's par for the course considering the political climate today.

And I hereby formally request my user title to be changed to 'Cowfefe'.

Right or wrong, I have a hard time including the birthers in "us."

That's twice now you've spelled 'covfefe' with a 'w.'

Of course, I can't tell you to use a dictionary in this case....

Given the treatment the grown-up previous POTUS got from the Right, I really don't like this stuff in spite of the degree that I despise the incompetent inept pretender squandering our legacy for populist hubris to feed his fragile insatiable ego.

From Stephanie Miller to DailyKos on the left, this pic from a self described D-lister comedian has been widely panned and rightfully condemned as tasteless.

Funny, I don't remember Whell losing his shit over those lynching and burning in effigies of President Obama. Seems a bit hypocritical.

The left is mirroring the sins of the right after claiming moral superiority for so long.

Will the left be now exposed as empty rhetoric, as a poser with no rooted conviction?

Is there one singular thing, somewhere in the world, with exactly one mind, called 'the left?'
