of cheap glory from folks who do a head-bob at "oh, yeah, the Dems are pretty bad"-- and then dive head-first into ranting about how horrible conservatives are, for sending out "orders" to "shout down" opposition.
Guys, look: I know you really, really want to be taken seriously as a "fair minded" person, but the facts simply don't fit.
There's *one* memo, sent out back in JUNE, to a handful of people-- and it doesn't actually say to shout down opposition. It's on tactics to use to get folks off of their prepared statements, and the guy who sent it out is proud to have never voted for a Dem or Repub for national office. And I know you should know this because there is a post three in front of your 'to be fair' cheap glory post.
Frankly, I'm tired enough that I'm unsubscribing from every RSS feed where this shows up-- I don't mind fair arguments against "our" side; for crying out loud, I play devil's advocate so much that I need to get a pitchfork. I've spent weeks arguing for things I don't even agree with, just because the folks I did agree with were using such horrible arguments-- sometimes, we even managed to improve their arguments to the point where someone who agreed with them would be willing to publicly state so.
Meanwhile, we've got a guy in the hospital for handing out conservative flags around union members while the wrong color.
We've got a woman in political position physically assaulting a man who makes a point she disagrees with.
Oh, and this happens after the White House says to "hit back twice as hard."
Um... inciting violence, a little?
