Opinion:
Here's a tidbit...
By Jack Grant...for those of you who absolutely must post how your opponents are completely insane:
For the left-wing - Cops: Florida man tried to run down controversial Republican
For the right-wing - Lake Worth man accused of 'political attack' on girlfriend
Since it apparently only takes a single incident to get your selective outrage going, and it only takes a single case to "prove" your opponents are insane, evil, fucked-up, whatever pejorative you want to use, I have now shown definitive proof that your side is just as insane, evil, fucked-up, whatever pejorative you want to use, as your opposition. So, I would take it as a great favor if you would please stop posting every instance of insane behavior by someone who is nominally supportive of your political opponents, because YOUR SIDE IS JUST AS BAD.
As I have said before, for every instance of bad behavior on one side, you can find an instance on the other side, so stop the pointless "they're evil because their supporters do this" and try to post something productive instead of being such fucking hypocrites.
For those of you not participating in the apeshit parade, please help me in pointing out that a single instance does not tar all supporters of that political position.
