Thanks in Advance!

To those constantly pushing the "extremists on both sides" meme, can you please name the mass-shooters who have been identified as extreme leftists?

Can you kindly reveal the identity of RW law-makers who have received death threats from liberals, or have had their family members threatened?

Can you provide the names of Republican congressmen/senators whose homes have been invaded by hammer-wielding progressives who attacked their spouses?

Can you show us the videos of left-wingers parading around in clownish regalia while awaiting JFK Jr. to come back from the dead in order to run for VP?

Can you identify the leftists who have claimed that Republicans kidnap babies and then eat them?

Can you name the Republican judges who have had envelopes of 'white powder' mailed to their offices?

Can you show us the social media posts by Democratic gun owners who are declaring their intent to "take out" Republicans?

Can you show us video footage of leftists marching with tiki-torches while chanting "Jews will not replaces us"?

Can you name the Democrats who have been convicted of crimes connected with participating in the January 6th insurrection?

Of course you can't.

The popular response from Republicans seems to be that mass-shooters and those who promote violence are simply 'mentally ill'. If that's the case, it's hard to deny that all of these mentally ill people are - coincidentally, I'm sure - right-wingers.

There are always 'extremists' on both sides of any issue. But only one side's extremists are engaging
in violence and downright lunacy - and we all know which 'side' that is.

1. One of the victims ar Connelly Office

Was her first day on the job.

Metal Bats and hammers seem to be favorite weapons. Thugs one and all. I do not care for the far left either, but they are not criminals.

2. Thanks for posting

[orangecrush]

3. There was one

Which proves rethugs can be the victims of gun violence as well as anyone else.

No matter how hard they try to make it about politics.

4. The extremism on the left

is wanting healthcare, fair wages, the safety to be yourself, the right to bodily autonomy, for the rich to pay their fair share, to be free from religious indocrination, to be able to go to a shopping mall without being ridded with bullets, for people of all ethnicities to get a fair shake and not be the victims of a hate crime because of their skin color or country of origin.
Yeah, we are so damned extreme. 😑

9. True

But some lean into Socialism.

16. You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

[True Blue American]

17. I know what it means and do not want it.

As a moderate Dem I am not impressed with the far right or the far left. My opinion, my righ!

[Lunabell]

18. Hmm...

That word accurately described my post. So. I don't know where the cognitive dissonance comes in. Interesting. So many people are hoodwinked by right wing talking points.

6. Both Siderism

Is the official religion of the beltway media. It pervades much of the mainstream media. The high priests and priestesses are very well compensated. Nice work if you can get it. If you can stand the person in the mirror.

7. Well said ...

... and welcome to DU.

8. Republicans have only had to tell a lie a few times and then they make it the truth

My opinion the media has been so intimidated by the bullying tactics of the right, that they have ignored the true facts of the situation, they are afraid. They are also lazy

11. Cable news is not intimidated,

MSNBC and CNN are owned and managed by right wing domestic oligarchs. There are only a handful of cable news anchors on MSNBC who buck the owners.

10. Bothsiderism is the political equivalent of take two aspirin and call me in the morning

The patient has stage 2 cancer, and is in desperate need of competent professional medical care before the disease progresses to where it is no longer treatable. Donning a white coat and prescribing over-the-counter tablets may be legitimized by that diploma on the wall, but it doesn't help the patient who will die if that is the best treatment offered.

Much of the domestic US media is rapidly moving into the "you are part of the problem" area. The fourth estate was supposed to be part of the solution.

12. Spot on, NanceGreggs

14. It is a phony attempt to not take a position, to not point accurately at the wrong doer.

When I listen to msm talk about the latest mass shooting, how many time do I hear a follow up on how the senators and congressmen in that state receive x amount of money from the gun industry funneled to them by the NRA? None.


We know the roots of our problems, we have for some time now. Republicans are fine with the death toll, a tragic reality.
