It's funny, those who complain about the Right's rhetoric always fall silent when something like the MTG Swatting or Kavanaugh Assassination attempt happen.

Over the last three years, women’s reproductive rightshave come under attack in a way we haven’t seen in modern history. From Louisiana to Missouri to Texas, Republican legislatures are waging a war on women, all women, and they’re taking away fundamental rights. I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.
Wasn't it during the J6 Show that we learned words like "attack" were inflammatory? What about "waging war against"?
In any case, those on the left fell all over themselves defending Schumer was "obviously" nonviolent in nature, and he clearly meant they would pay a "political price."
Given that they are appointed for life such an "obvious" meaning is obviously. B.S. They are not subject to the voter's wrath. There is no "political price" that they are subject to.
Typically, the MSM even called it a smear when Schumer's remarks were brought up in relation to the would-be assassin, like New Yorker magazine angrily huffing Republicans Smearing Chuck Schumer With Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt while continuing the charade that the remarks were "obviously" nonviolent in nature[1].
But one person who disagreed with that assessment was Schumer himself who apologized for his threat saying he chose his words poorly (so much for what he "obviously" meant).
1 possibly the worst reaction at the time of the remark had to come from the Dingy Dame herself, the New York Times. The threat left the folks at the NYT almost giddy as they calculated how this could help them:
Democratic officials and their progressive allies said that while Mr. Schumer might have gone too far with his inflammatory words, they were not all that unhappy that the episode put new attention both on the Louisiana case at hand and the Republican push on the courts over all.

I'll not hold the left or the right to their own standards. I'll hold them to my standard, which is actually consistent, while theirs, on both sides tends to only work based on who it's happening to (silence when it's a political enemy, and vociferous complaining and condemnation when it's a political friend)
Interestingly, a little snooping on the author of the article doesn't turn up any condemnation of that doxxing or threatening of FBI personnel (or the attack on one office).... so sounds like he could take a page from his own book as well.Last edited by Gondwanaland; 08-28-2022, 12:03 PM.

Not "current" but does a good job listing some of the incidents where liberal leaders tolerated if not encouraged violence.
It does leave out how old Joe has said on more than one occasion how much he wants to physically attack and harm Trump, while the latter was still president.
And forget about Rand Paul being harassed on the street. How about being attacked in his own back yard by a crazed liberal who ambushed him as he mowed the grass, resulting in damage severe enough that part of one of his lung had to be removed.
And while mentioning their encouraging protesting against SCOTUS judges, it leaves off that this is illegal. A direct violation of federal law that prohibits intimidating judges. All of which does not matter to old Joe's Attorney General Merrick Garland who still ignores the law and gives his seal of approval to this blatantly illegal activity even after the attempted assassination of Kavanaugh.
I guess he's wanting to give them another shot at it (pun intended) hoping that the next person is a bit more competent.
