Just a suggestion! Can we please call a moratorium on posting articles about nuts and criminals, and assigning them with political leanings; left or right! It's such a waste of time, and makes you look really, really, really stupid!

P.S. And, I wish the media would do the same!

I have to agree.

I, and I hope you as well, have too many friends & family from the other side of the aisle to think that any one off incident would make me think liberals or Dems are bad people. I generally don't like their ideas but I then don't make that leap that that means all Dems are bad.

I would also suggest a moratorium on Hitler analogies. Are they sometimes accurate for the Saddam Hussein's of the world and the ethnic cleansing types, sure, but to use them on American politicians is just hateful and yes, stupid.

But you know how moratoriums go and you certainly know how they go HERE, lol.

Good post but I have a felling it wont last long, if at all.

She lives in Las Vegas?!

If she or someone in her family goes to the hospital, chances are VERY good she will be attended by a Filipina nurse........uh-oh.

Karma's gonna get you. Only put out what you want back.

In all fairness, the media did not assign political leanings to this woman

Or at least the Huff Po article you linked resisted the urge to call the woman a Trump supporter.

As for your point, I agree with Jack. Great sentiment, but it only took about 30 seconds for LTM to piss all over it. I will agree it made him look really, really, really stupid, but what else is new?

Huff Po is usually one of the worst offenders where it comes to what you are talking about, but I will give them credit for not doing so in this particular case.

Leave it to Toxic Taffy to drag a thread down.

Now watch as he tries to point fingers. It's OK, folks. The poor little thing just can't help herself.

Who wants to be fair?

Everyone knows that all racists and bigots are righties!

But, you are correct in this instant. I was not using it as an example of the media doing so explicitly. However, many on the left, will see them doing so, implicitly, reflected in my comment; said in jest, just above. And often, certain media sources know it when they report such stories.

HuffPo is partisan but doesn't come close to the Daily Kos.

Which is a far-left propaganda organ. Their headlines are generally out-and-out lies that even their own stories don't back up.

As I predicted, Toxic Taffy had to come out to play.

I even predicted to friends he'd go with the old "exploding irony meter" line. He's so predictable he's getting boring.
