In reply to the discussion: Jay Townsend, GOP Spokesman: 'Let's Hurl Some Acid At Those Female Democratic Senators' [View all]OnTheFence94
(9 posts)43. Just an observation
I don't like that kind of talk from either side. The Republican examples are just as easy to find on the internet as the Democrat ones. My response was to someone who commented that nobody from the left would be able to withstand such a comment. I wanted to see if that was true, so I looked on the internet and found that it doesn't seem to be true.
Everyone says stupid things. Just look at the comments above calling me all kinds of names because I provided actual quotes from actual politicians who made their comments on the record in front to the media.

People throw coffee cups without intention. It's called anger (badly managed.)
