Both sides do it ...

[butterfly77]

is on cspan right now John Avalon talking about wingnuts and claim we do what Rand paul and Joe Miller"s paid goons do..

[glowing]

1. If we actually did, then they would know it.. they would be fraidy cats.

[butterfly77]

4. He said we have to stop

and we (the left)are going to have to accept entitlement reforms and other issues he says the left like. He also said the country is center right..

[walldude]

2. LOL if that were true you'd see it replayed every day

there would be hearings, court dates, subpoena's, teeth gnashing, hand wringing, Glenn Beck would be hammering away on the magic blackboard connecting violent liberals with Nazi's.

When the hell is someone going to say "prove it"? Show me the liberal attack. Shit the best they could do is the "B" girl and we all know what those nasty liberals did to her :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I don't engage in assault and battery.

I was almost run over at a civil rights march by so-called bystanders, offended by the march. Seriously, if wasn't for the group of college men racing to pull me out of the way, I would have been hit and possibly killed. The sheriff said little more about the incident than "to get out of town before dark" - I shit you not. He knew he couldn't protect us and evidence suggested he wasn't going to even try and do his job.

I had to pull a little girl away from angry (so-called) bystanders threatening to "bash" the little girl in the head. No one in our group assaulted or battered anyone. I can't say the same about the bigoted "bystanders"...

3. The Most Solid Corporate Media Meme

It's a lazy excuse most of the beltway pundits use to avoid doing real investigating and reporting. Avalon is a tool...playing holier than thou cause he can piss on both parties. Seems to be a cottage industry this year. And, ironically, the largest number of these tools are "former" rushpublicans. Yeah, right!

We live in a false equivelency world...have been since the 80s. The relentless right wing badgering of the media about being "too librul" is the foundation to this game. As we saw in the recent Juan Williams "flap", the right wing hate media can crank up in a hurry and there aren't many who can stand up to that attack. So to cover their asses and assets they play the False Equivelency game that allows them to dismiss any and all GOTB dirty tricks as being "part of the way things are done".

To those who think the two parties are the same...they're intellectually dishonest and lazy. We're seeing "hyper-polarization" created by a corporate elite which is predominately rushpublican muddying all issues and using this game to make their radical agendas appear to be "moderate" or "mainstream". Avalon is a tool for this viewpoint.

I have yet to hear him talking about the dirty and dark money being used to buy this election...could be cause he got a cut of the action.

11. delete

[guitar man]

5. really?

Did he produce video or other evidence of liberals stomping on teabaggers?

[butterfly77]

12. He and Anderson Cooper..

[guitar man]

15. and I'm sure

they're going to provide proof to back up their assertions :sarcasm:

[spanone]

6. proof? when did a progressive candidate hire his own security force?

no facts to back up his statement? of course not

[tjwash]

7. That sounds a lot like "49 repugs and joe lieberman=bipartisan"

I'll hold my breath waiting for this guy has to produce the videos that actually back up his claim.

[butterfly77]

13. He doesn't need to,,

because the media namely Anderson Cooper won't ask for any he just says they both do it and they need to stop now we need to go to a commercial...

[mstinamotorcity]

9. If both sides resorted to the violence

then our side would win because there are more of us than them. Duh!!!!!

[niyad]

10. then the little cretin better document this, with reliable video, police reports, etc

[emulatorloo]

14. Yeah, and Rachel Maddow is the same as Glenn Beck

[butterfly77]

16. That is what..

they want us to believe. The media has emboldened them.
