I guess that’s why we executed Rep. Walsh for heckling President Obama.

What’s the phrase I’m groping for?

Oh, yes, “Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.”

And worse.

Hating on the president is the single MOST American thing an American can do and we Americans cherish that right and always have.

Ahem, Wilson, it was, I think…

How does it compare with, say, yelling “YOU LIE!” from the floor of the chamber while the president is speaking? Just curious. (Update: Sorry, bikerdad–didn’t see your comment at the top of the thread.)

"I had Democrats sitting behind me that sat on their hands, not seeing what the President was trying to do.”

You’re the one who is “notseeing,” if you catch my drift …

Good idea to keep the meme alive, while Hogan Gidley the 3rd is trying to frame it as ‘tongue-in-cheek’.
This media strategy can’t fail !

May all those who, in order to slander their political opponents, use the term “un-American” share the same fate and place in history.

I read this article I can’t find about the necessity of being Politically Correct in the GOP bubble. The tyranny of GOP language, manners and thought is brutal. It was a great bit of apt descriptive aikido.

I knew there was a reason . 3 way split like Idjit Lepage. Stick with Trump honey . It won’t be so easy next time

She faced Democrat Kim Myers and Independent Martin Babinec in the November general election.[30] Tenney won the election, receiving 47% of the vote to Myers’ 40% and Babinec’s 13%.[31]

Watch CNN and the rest of the press do the work of the Republicans for them and normalize this madness by inviting dark money Republicans like this godawful woman to spin their alternative reality on air.

It doesn’t matter that some of the press is “challenging” this stuff----by treating it as interview-worthy, as a “point of view,” they are demonstrating one of the techniques the Republicans have used for the last quarter century.

Republicans may be dreadful at democracy and governance, but there’s none like them when it comes to “working the refs,” rolling the press, and getting their unhinged alternative narrative into the ether.

I really don’t think the press ought to ignore creeping Nazism. And I don’t think ignoring it will make it go away by itself.

At this point, I really think I’d have to go with “Nazis” rather than “snowflakes.” Because saying people who don’t clap for our Tremendous Leader don’t love America crosses the line into overtly totalitarian thinking.

Also, the nice Nazi lady is in trouble:
