I think that saying "Let's Go Brandon" to him is childish and disrespectful of the office. We were upset when people did that sort of thing to Trump in person, and we should be upset when they do it to Biden.

So when does the being civil begin?

The hypocrisy and rationalization is amazing.
Most common ones:
1. Yeah, well Trump deserved it.
2. You didn't hear it coming from our elected leaders. (implying that it doesn't count then)
3. You can't trust Republicans to be civil.
They would list more, but straight denial went out the window after the last 4 years.

Being a screen capture I took the liberty of including the links mentioned in the post
https://twitter.com/JDiamond1/status...j-iL5j1ww&s=19 goes to a post by him about folks flipping off Trump

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb...i-mask-parents : Crass CNN Delighted By Kid Who Flipped Off 'Vile' Anti-Mask Parents (praising the "clear message" she sent)
Houk also reminded Diamond that CNN gave a rave review to a play about assassinating Trump. I'll add that this is the same network where we were informed by one of their analysts, Asha Rangappa, that saying "Let's Go Brandon" is no different than saying "Long live ISIS."
As for some of the other networks, ABC was in high dudgeon and choose to portray it thusly: Father uses vulgar insult during holiday call with President Joe Biden. It might be amusing if ABC tried to explain the vulgarity contained in "Let's Go Brandon!" It is a G-rated substitute for the vulgar original chant. Much like how "shoot" and "darn" have replaced cruder terms.[1]
NBC and Bloomberg referred to it as a "slur" yet these were the same folks who applauded faux tough guy Robert De Niro's "[F-bomb] Trump!" speech a few years ago at the Tony Awards and ignore all of the "[F-bomb] Trump" graffiti that can still be seen on numerous overpasses in Washington D.C.
Grace Curley, the executive producer of the Howie Carr show in Boston, wrote an opinion piece published in the Boston Herald that's worth reproducing in part:
[*The original is behind a paywall but can also be read HERE as well*]
1. back when the Southwest pilot said "let's Go Brandon" and many on the left tried to get him fired for doing so, Washington Post editor Cathleen Decker also proclaimed it was "vulgar." Basically, for these people Let's Go Brandon is a crude vulgarity whereas screaming [F-bombs] are the height of proper civil discourse and exemplifies proper manners (see the cartoon above).

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostSo, yes, two different women on separate occasions gave Trump the bird and were fawned over by liberals, but don't you dare let the phrase "Let's go, Brandon!" pass your lips or you're declared a threat to civil liberties.
As the saying goes, if liberals didn't have double standards, then they wouldn't have any standards at all.

Ron Brownstein, senior editor at The Atlantic and a political analyst for CNN declared that the "Let's Go Brandon" comment by a parent named Jarrod during a NORAD "Santa Tracker" event with old Joe and "Dr. Jill" on Christmas Eve, likened the remark to "the insurrection"
After Boris Sanchez, who became a co-host of CNN's New Day Weekend earlier this year after being CNN's White House correspondent, described the remark as "rude" and "disrespectful" Brownstein began with saying
Yeah look... it's ungracious, it's juvenile, it's reprehensible by the father, but I don't think it's fundamentally about incivility. I think it is fundamentally about insurrection.
That actually caused Sanchez's eyebrows to shoot up when Brownstein said the last bit.
Brownstein would quickly add that he doesn't know the individual but that the "whole Let's Go Brandon kind of motif is a reflection" of a belief "that Biden is an illegitimate president."
Quick fact check here, but the entire Let's Go Brandon movement has it's roots in the use of a much cruder chant that didn't start among Republicans and Trump supporters, but rather on university campuses during large events, typically sporting ones. University campuses are pretty leftist and anti-Trump so it is doubtful that Brownstein's insurrection fantasies had anything to do with it.
Perhaps there is more to the chant than CNN and the Atlantic want us to know. Perhaps it might have something to do with everything old Joe has touched having turned to a stinking pile of... er, poop.
And maybe if these guys (including many other CNN pearl clutchers) hadn't given such approving coverage of those who treated Trump and other Republicans in the same manner they might have some standing to be critical now.

And that's what happens when you post without glasses and a tiny sty in your better eye. I thought it said "purposely." Possibly reinforced by how the article continued with how the father "had disconnected -- likely to go collect high-fives from MAGA-hatted brethren"
