Ruining a teenager's life because he smiled as someone screamed in his face was pretty deplorable. We could do this all day but his point is that Americans have to grow up and start respecting each other.


I'm always struck by how fast the rhetoric shifts when one side loses a big election. How quickly we care about everyone being civil, and respecting one another, when we are no longer holding the position of power.


I find this comment interesting simply because it's the exact opposite of my FB feed. People there accuse leftists of calling for civility now that they have won, when they haven't been civil until this moment (their words, not mine)


I guess that's the beauty (maybe not quite the right word...) of two large groups of people attacking each other. The odds are good that if you look, you will find someone on the other side saying exactly what you want to record them saying.


A majority of registered Republicans have told pollsters they believe Obama wasn't born in this country many times since at least 2012. How many Democrats care about the outrage incident you cite, using empirical evidence?


Out of curiosity what event are you refering to?
