re: #123 iceweasel

If you think what is happening on the Right at the moment is anything like what the left did, you are delusional.

Clearly, I do not, and I write and post comparisons highlighting the differences. I conclude that you do not read my posts.

If you genuinely believe the left acted this way, and you think that somehow morally exonerates or excuses the Right and relieves you of any need to condemn it— you are hypocritical and morally bankrupt as well.

Your first sentence is ambiguous.

Do you mean by “acted this way” to mean “ as the 9/12 demonstrators acted, i.e., no broken car windows, apparently no arrests, listening to interviewers before answering, etc.? This behavior would give the Left vastly more credibility in my eyes.

Or do you mean the way the Left frequently acts in, say San Francisco or Berkeley? I’ve seen this.

Hypocritical and morally bankrupt”: are you kidding, or are you trying to slip a M.A.S.H. line in as your own profundity?

re: #129 Slumbering Behemoth

You seem to be confusing a comparison of directly comparable events / actions / behavior : specifically demonstrations, signs, personal conduct (was even one car window broken?), etc., with “moral equivalency”. Do you truly not see the difference? The DC police did. There are a number of car owners who do.
