Mr_MacPhisto 05/05/17 9:11:16 PM #29:	No, but I think the double standard around what you can get away with against conservatives versus liberals is pathetic. I don't think there would be an issue with any of this if the same standard was set the previous 8 years. No celebrity with even the lowest d-level career would have dared go on a hateful and offensive rant about Obama. Hell, remember when that country singer who did the NFL theme song went on Fox and made a joke comparing Obama golfing with some Repub to Hitler meeting with Netanyahu? And the NFL canned him due to the outrage. That's how protected and coddled Obama was. There was absolutely no room to attack him, comically or otherwise, without facing repercussions. We're a long way from those days. Chris Matthews compared Trump to Hitler on the day of his inauguration without a peep from anyone. You have people saying the most disgusting and offensive things about the president and anyone connected to him, but nobody cares. They actually encourage/applaud it. --- Off with the horns, On with the show! <cite>Mr_MacPhisto posted [p:878554590] in Do you thi...

And the NFL canned him due to the outrage. That's how protected and coddled Obama was. There was absolutely no room to attack him, comically or otherwise, without facing repercussions. We're a long way from those days. Chris Matthews compared Trump to Hitler on the day of his inauguration without a peep from anyone. You have people saying the most disgusting and offensive things about the president and anyone connected to him, but nobody cares. They actually encourage/applaud it. First, this rediculous attitude that, "hes the president so he automatically gets respect" is absurd. This is America, not North Korea or Russia. Being the president doesnt mean you should automatically get respect. Its earned, not given. Just because Trump is president, doesnt mean people should respect the deplorable, man-baby antics he pulls left and right. Second, Trump is bringing this on himself. Bush and Obama did not act like Trump regardless if you liked their politics or not. <cite>asdf8562 posted [p:878555275] in Do you thi...

I don't think there would be an issue with any of this if the same standard was set the previous 8 years. No celebrity with even the lowest d-level career would have dared go on a hateful and offensive rant about Obama. Hell, remember when that country singer who did the NFL theme song went on Fox and made a joke comparing Obama golfing with some Repub to Hitler meeting with Netanyahu?

Twinmold 05/05/17 9:41:24 PM #40:	How to be a CE conservative: Claim everybody who isn't right-wing is an easily offended snowflake who needs coddling. When a right wing person is insulted, have a total meltdown and accuse them of having no respect while crying to the authorities that you need protection from their words.
