| CommonMan said: I really don't like the idea that is being put forth (whether it's the intent of the posts or not) that because "everybody does it" this is somehow okay behavior. It's not. Manus is clearly a left-leaning guy, it's completely his right to be upset about his side being attacked, why does he have to be fair about it? How is this situation fair to anybody no matter who is attacking who? Don't tell Manus that he has to do the same thing for the other side, that is your job. Shouting someone down doesn't make you righter or smarter, it makes you louder. Edited for clarity. |
Yes, but comparing attacks to Krystallnacht is a bit different, no?
If ManusJustus wants to deride people for making threats against left-leaning congressmen, that is certainly fine. He doesn't have to be balanced on that. But when he decides to entitle it, likening these attacks to the atrocities of Krystallnatch is quite a bit different.
'Attacks of Democratic congressmen is bad! They need to stop!' is fine.
'Conservative Kristallnacht' which started the holocaust of the Jews, resulting in the murdering of 6,000,000 innocent Jews and Gypsies is a bit different, is it not?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
