Last edited Tue Jan 4, 2022, 12:50 PM - Edit history (1)
Don't know why CNN and other media feel the need to interview this sniveling little weasly pissant, but when they do, we can rest assured he'll both siderize the piss out of any issue.
Hey John, Hillary didn't plan a fucking coup, or collect thousands of violent morons, whip them into a frenzy, and sic them on our seat of Democracy to hang Joe Biden and kill Kevin Mccarthy and Mitch McConnell.
Not ONE Democrat would have witnessed that shit without demanding Hillary be prosecuted, let alone excuse it as "just a bunch of tourist".
Maybe the media should remind John that, despite being elected governor of Ohio by less than 2 percent, he governed as if he won 95% of the vote.
Despite having a slim margin in the state legislature, his funders at ALEC and the Koch brothers so gerrymandered the fuck out of Ohio that Retrumplicans could win statewide with 50.1% of the vote and end up with 85% of the national and state political representation.
John did nothing but ride the wave of T-Bagging racism and hatred all the way to getting stomped by an Earl Scheibb spray tan moron with a shaved Golden Retrievers ass on his head in a Retrumplican primary.
John Kasich can just got fuck himself sideways with a First Edition, Hard Cover copy of Atlas Shrugged.
His "opinion" on anything is as relevant as a tick farting in a hurricane.
Even if you accept that there is "hatred on both sides", it is important to point out that one side hates racism, misogyny, fascism, ignorance, political violence and white supremacy...
The other side hates Democracy and decency.
That's your "bothsiderism" John!
Hopefully John Kasich will never seen "true" hatred and violence from the left, but if he keeps up this bothsiderism bullshit, all I can say is....
"Fuck around and find out"

(15,330 posts)I always thought hate was a wasted emotion.
Unfortunately, I think the last 4 years have changed me. I truly don't know how we recover from this.
They've stolen something from us all. I've lost family, friends, neighbors...
I never thought that would happen.
Of course, I also never thought they would embrace the immorality and cruelty of Donnie Shit for Brains.

(47,427 posts)we are witnessing today. I suppose on some level I knew it was possible, but I never thought it was probable. Of course, history has repeatedly warned us that yes indeed, it CAN happen here, but somehow we thought we were different.

(19,835 posts)Unfortunately, his method of doing that is to squirm out of acknowledging the insanity and creeping fascism on the right. As long as he does that and keeps clinging to a GOP that no longer exists, he's not to be taken seriously.

(1,000 posts)As an Ohioan, this prick is perfect for CNN. The genteel face on the steaming pile of a toxic shit heap. The both siderism of the so called liberal media?? FFS, how often must it be said the MSM are the PR for billionaires and shareholders who don't want to pay taxes because they don't own it all, yet. Sure, they do practice "journalistic standards," only the truly window licking stupid buy into FOX-or their worse clones.
And our current governor, Mike DeWine is just the "gee chucks" version of the "World Class Want To Be" Kasich. Sadly for both of them the "Republican Party" they have both spent a lifetime building wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire. And why do I say sadly? Because they succeeded. They started with Ronnie Raygun and it came to the inevitable conclusion with the ultimate con artist clown bringing that fascism with a Bible and a flag. And why is that sad? Both of them are too sane and too reasonable for the party they helped build. DeWine the RINO will be retired, Kasich has enough polish to sell the peasants their poison without an advertiser boycott.
Like Ben Franklin said, "a republic, if you can keep it."

(8,739 posts)Yea I do however, hate them, for my ICU nurse daughter and her coworkers needing security to escort them to parking deck after 12+ hour shifts trying to save lives, while risking their on. Protection from THEIR GQP side. Sometimes I really question why Don lets shit like that fly. Many times he calls out bullshit, but he lets Johnny K get away with that crap. The Dem party does not kiss the Hungary dictators ass, with an endorsement from the ousted criminal FG, and plan a party convention there because they want trump and America to be a Hungary oligarchy dictatorship that kills opposition. Not both sides shit there Johnny.

Defensive force is not violence. It's DUE FORCE TO STOP VIOLENCE. So no, a victim of a rapist is not violent by using due force to stop being raped.
The Democratic Party is not hateful. The Party uses DUE FORCE TO STOP REPUBLICAN VIOLENCE done to government. THIS SIDE controls hate -- it is not driven by hate -- with DUE FORCE to neutralize and stop the hate of intentional, long term harm planned by terrorists.
The Democratic Party is THE conservative party of the U.S. It conserves life, liberty and property for humans, the rule of law, a just peace, the U.S. Constitution and a democratic republican government.

Collimator
(1,639 posts). . . And the clear if sanitized profanity, there obviously is "hatred on both sides".
This does not mean, however, that there is blatant equivalency.
I can only speak for myself, but I don't enjoy the flashes of hatred that I experience. I would rather maintain a loving heart and stand in firm opposition to the awful ideas and positions that characterize the other side.
That is damn difficult to do, though, isn't it? So, if the occasional rant helps to ease the frustration of dealing with people who make hate and fear and cruelty into the bread and butter of their politics, then do what you need to do. It's better than picking up a gun and expressing one's anger and sense of "victimhood" by blowing away one's fellow human beings.
That particular behavior is overwhelmingly associated with only the One Side.

(1,000 posts)the one in which we are the aggressors and they are "forced" to their reactionary violence. Antifa? BLM? POC? someone else's religion not theirs? Leave It To Beaver and gated communities are under attack and they have the 2A to stop it.
I have spent a lifetime in passive resistance, had to in this State. I am so tired. Still not drooling for the opportunity to buy a gun and settle my problems.

(7,413 posts)In the same vein, I heard an author interviewed today who wrote a book on fascism/authoritarianism in the U.S. say that the "left" is guilty, too, due to our pushing "cancel culture" and love of litmus tests.
What an incredible stretch to compare us and them on this issue!

(37,160 posts)...the Bulwark article featured in a thread this morning (https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216209477), from Ted Cruz's former communications director (and now-NeverTrumper) Amanda Carpenter, who opened a piece mostly about the handful of Republicans who occasionally make shows of resistance to Trump with this framing:
What does it mean to be a Republican in the year 2022? Being hated. Yes, by the leftbut more importantly, also by members of your own party.
Odd that Kasich would use the same framing of "hatred" straight out of the blue, ain't it?

(4,552 posts)I have never understood why the right is so successful selling their message of hate. I just don't get it.
We must continue to sell our message of hope for humanity and a path forward for everyone.
At this point I think we need to convince people that if we let this climate disaster happen it won't matter if you are rich.
It won't matter if you are black, brown, blue or white. Our environment will be destroyed and our ability to feed ourselves will be ended. It is happening before our eyes. Miami already has to pump the ocean out of the city. Lake Mead is a disaster and will displace millions of Americans. These things are happening right now.
We are at the start of an accelerating national disaster. At best we can slow this disaster.
