Every group, doesn't matter which side of the table, will always have a small percentage of people that are extremists. Every religion, every political group. This was an opportunity for people to set aside their political differences to come together for the common good, aka not dying because of their beliefs. I guess it's too late for that shit though. Carry on.

Crazies on both sides, absolutely true. But I think a major misconception should be addressed; liberal moral high ground. Right now I think you see a lot of the progressive movement (2010-now) what you saw in the religious right movement (1986ish-92) in the GOP. A lot of hypocrisy. Simply don't have the time to get into it...but the arrogance is quite frankly, disappointing. I think the intellectual elitism element was effectively crushed by the Trump election..."we can never lose this, we are too smart, how could we lose to Donald Trump? we got this election"...etc. That part of it is dead, intellectual high ground was promptly defeated at that point.


But the moral high ground...has had a strong argument thanks to George Dubwah. But right now you cant claim pacifism but continue to conduct political violence; You cant claim equality, but then restrict people's free speech; etc.


Not saying his act was politically motivated, but the insane piece of garbage in Portland who stabbed the heroes who came to the defense of the Muslims...Another Bernie supporter.





Step back yes...I think the mainstream media should be the first to do so. I also think labeling and language is a big part. Honesty probably the biggest part of doing so (president Trump Im looking at you too). Do we think "fake news" is a term that was born overnight? No...people have been very skeptical since Fox news became a standard for right-leaning journalism. But isn't it ironic how that kinda lead the way and the response from other news sources was to pick a side? So the media and its bias coverage did it to itself. And now there mad at being called out on it? really? Its extremely interesting time we live in.

Perfect example of Bias...what big piece of information is missing in the headline and the body of this article:Threatening letter sent to congressional candidate's home - CNNPolitics.com
