Shame on Republicans

That happened with Kathy Griffin with Trumps head and the right wing flipped out and tried to cancel her.

So you thought a cartoon where AOC is bigger than a house is a realistic depiction of them fighting? As I said not much point in discussing.

No, sorry. It’s a condemnation on the Republicans that voted not to censure and a condemnation on any person that votes for them in the next election cycle. Sorry I should have been clearer. And a condemnation on Republicans that would vote such people into office

 

 

Then change the title so you don't look like the tool that you likely are.

Reminder:

 

This latest bout of norm-breaking came after Democrats flipped out over a video showing Gosar supposedly “killing” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

 

You can watch it here, but it’s clear that it was meant to be nothing more than a meme, with Gosar shown in anime form also slicing through a picture of Joe Biden.

Kathy Griffin’s problem was cancelled by the left over concerns of profit, not the right who generally could care less about a minor celebrity doing something silly.  
 

Her other challenge is that she’s emotionally soft and was unable to handle the reaction she had to know she was going to get.  She posed with a severed head, raising specters of assassination and Islamic facism.  I heard an interview she gave to Howard Stern after the controversy, she was a blubbering mess whining about how she was treated.
 

Contrast that with Dave Chappel who responds to controversy with a hearty “Hey we can talk about this all you want but go $&@@ yourself in the meantime.”.  


Oh, and she also publicly commented that Pete Buttigieg supported her but wanted to do it on the downlow.   That likely goes for lots of dem politicians.

Today a GOP House member was censured for posting a video where he kills AOC and Biden on Twitter.

 

Think about that. If you were in any work place in the world, you’d be fired. You’d get referred over to law enforcement.

 

Two Republicans voted that doing so was  wrong. Many voted it’s ok. 
 

AOC said it best, “What is so hard about saying that this is wrong? This is not about me. This is not about representative Gosar, but this is about what we are willing to accept."

 

It shouldn’t be this hard for people to say you shouldn’t issue a depiction of murdering a member of Congress is wrong.

 

But here we are. It was that hard. It’s what the right is willing to accept and all we can say is shame. Shame on them.

 

 

 

So then if wrong is wrong then you would agree that all those that paid for the lies of the last 4 years that were generated by a fake paid for dossier and kept having investigative panels to keep the lies going should all be censured too ?

 

And all involved being democrat or republican should be held accountable after all right is right !!

There’s another post about dossiers and Russia you can bring that up in. Knock off the whataboutism.

 

This post is about how it’s wrong to post a video of a co-worker being killed by you and how Republicans think that’s ok.

T raises a good point though. 
 

You’re seemingly outraged over the actions of cartoon characters, yet apparently comfortable with folks in real life doing all sorts of nasty things. The fact that you don’t want to talk about the hypocrisy of your position here, in this moment, at this time is quite revealing.  
 

Which was the more egregious action in your opinion—-politically motivated individuals of the dem party en mass prosecuting a non-existent case against a lawfully elected president, dividing the nation in the process, and failing to prove any wrongdoing by said president……or the nutty politician posting a cartoon guy doing cartoony things?

Your response is exactly why I titled the thread as I did.

 

Do an experiment today. Take the same video and put your co-workers faces on it instead of Biden and AOC. Then go post it online and share it with your co-workers.

 

Let me know if you have a job (assuming you have one to start off with) after doing that.

 

Not only would I have a job it would likely be played at our annual awards party to hysterical laughter and raving reviews.  

 

I think the left needs to lighten up.  But we knew that.

Also, toss your stance down. Is it ok for a member of Congress to post a video where a depiction of him kills a fellow member and the President?

Perhaps there is one, but I haven't seen anyone say the video was appropriate or in good taste.  All repubs I've heard have said this, that it was in poor taste and inappropriate.

 

Now what response or punishment is appropriate in response? Is censure and removal from all committees appropriate?  I don't know.  It's the first time it's ever, ever been done.

 

I guess my point is just because someone voted against this level of punishment doesn't mean he/she agreed with the video meme that Gosar did. I think it's dangerous precedent to establish, that the ruling party can censure and remove a member of the other party from their committees.  But teams and shyt. We are where we are.

Seriously.  How can anyone muster the energy to care about this cartoon when the new Starbucks cup promotes satanism?

 

What???  I just had a Starbucks for the first time in a long time and I MISSED it!?!?  WTF!!

This thread is awesome...

 

 

 

I just want to be sure I understand this correctly. So someone on the left can make fun of what a man decides to put in his mouth and it’s simply a funny joke. Now, what if I make fun of what Pete Buttigieg puts in his mouth? Wouldn’t I be censored and cancelled (assuming I had a following)? Kind of a double standard, don’t you think?

Is Pete fellating anyone on the floor of the House of Representatives?
