Political Debate in the U.S. Has ‘Devolved’ into Political Abuse During her Saturday opening statement on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” Jeanine Pirro responded to the recent treatment members of President Donald Trump’s administration have received, saying the left has “devolved” into political abuse. Activists harassed Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at a restaurant and later protested outside of her home, while a Red Hen owner refused to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. “What’s happening in this country today is beyond anything we’ve ever seen in American politics. Political debate, at the very heart of the founding of this country, has devolved into political harassment and outright political abuse,” said Pirro. She later added, “These unhinged leftists are normalizing outrageous behavior which is only getting worse. Pirro warned that hate is “dangerous” and will only lead to violence. LINK I am beginning to think that violence is what the left wing wants. |

Left-Wing Activists Harass Florida AG Pam Bondi at Movie Theater Protesters confronted Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi at a showing of a documentary about children’s TV host Fred Rogers, and they questioned the Republican’s stands on immigration and health care. The Tampa Bay Times reports Bondi received a police escort Friday when several members of the left-wing group Organize Florida confronted her as she left a Tampa theater after seeing Won’t You Be My Neighbor about Mr. Rogers. The demonstrators questioned Florida joining a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act and Bondi’s general support of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Bondi protester Maria Jose Chapa said was an impromptu demonstration after someone spotted the attorney general, who has a national following as a contributor on Fox News and as ally of President Trump. The video shows that as Bondi and her companion left the theater surrounded by officers, Chapa followed her, yelling. “What would Mr. Rogers think about you and your legacy in Florida? Taking away health insurance from people with pre-existing conditions, Pam Bondi!” Chapa hollered. Another person shouted at Bondi, “You’re a horrible person!” Onlookers stared agape as the procession moved past. Bondi told the paper in a phone interview Saturday that the demonstrators’ actions didn’t comport with the lessons taught by Mr. Rogers. “We were in a movie about anti-bullying and practicing peace and love and tolerance and accepting of people for their differences,” Bondi said in an interview. “That’s what Mr. Rogers is all about. We all believe in free speech, but there’s a big difference there.”...... LINK Does the left wing know how to have an adult political discourse anymore? Edited by Berton, Jun 25 2018, 03:26 AM.

People Are ‘Going to Harass’ Trump Administration Officials at Restaurants, Stores, and Gas Stations Saturday on MSNBC, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) suggested people harassing, and protesting members of the administration of President Donald Trump at stores, restaurants, and gas stations was the new reality for the United States of America. LINK Apparently, one of the leading Dems thinks harassing and violence is the way to political victory. |

The left has tried to have an adult discourse repeatedly, ever since Obama took office, and the Right just stonewalls everything... And of course, the Right never resorts to harassment and violence??? Oh, that's right, they only lie, threaten women who want an abortion and shoot their doctors, make excuses for excessive police violence, tax the poor and middle class to subsidize the rich, and jail asylum seekers looking for a better life... Proven repeatedly on this board, many more proofs available with a simple search... Present company excluded of course - Wouldn't want to be accused of "insulting" anyone... |

The Democrats and MSM has driven the left's common folk (and themselves) to the point of emotional insanity and from emotional insanity to a. They've driven them to violent demonstration, to preventing others the right to speak, to PhDs public screaming the "F you," "Go to hell phrases at other PhD's who happen to think differently than they, to shooting congressmen simply because they are a Republican, to harassing GOP people while eating in a restaurant and/or asking them to leave. This is what the left has become. You don't dare think or make any expression that differs from their thinking or their agenda. It all started before Trump set foot in the Oval Office as president. It started when Hillary lost. Totally graceless. Party before nation! |

Now, Brew, you must recall that the right never said a disparaging word about Obama or his wife. Matter of fact, the courtesy shown them was a joy to behold! |

Ban, have you or any other "Righty" you know ever been swayed by an "adult political discourse"? Has truth and logic ever changed your mind to the "leftist" side? Dealing with the average Republican is like having a discussion with a mule. You have to hit it between the eyes with a 2x4 before it'll even listen. It's been bad since the start of the Obama Presidency, as Sea Dog just pointed out, but it's much worse under Trump - to the best of my knowledge, he has never changed his mind on any major item no matter how badly it's turned out unless he was forced to by protests. And his sycophants around the country are just as bad or worse - they seem to think that his election gave them licence to claim the Right has all the answers, and can do anything... It shouldn't be that way, but it is, and there doesn't seem to be any way to change it, especially under the present administration. And your own post on the Trump thread proves my point. The shouting and threats are bad, but they come from sheer frustration. "Adult political discourse" is just the Republicans' way of saying "talk all you want, we're going to do it our way anyway".

Note that not one on the left has dealt with the violence on the left. All they have done is divert. |

Note that not one on the right has dealt with the obstructionism of the right, and how to establish an "adult political discourse". All they do is divert. |

No they have not tried to have a civil or adult conversation. Their effort is open borders and full amnesty. That will never happen. The administration will probably have law enforcement available to officials and their families, harassers will be arrested for assault. |
