Hey, lets not turn into "them"

[NightWatcher]

The right and the faux news watchers bounce from daily outrage to poutrage. They whip themselves into an angry froth and it motivates who they are. Sure, their two main motivations are fear and loathing (and usually of the President), but every day they are looking for something to be mad at "them" for. Lets not regurgitate two and three year old stories of isolated events so that we can get mad all over again.

1. WRONG. making excuses for indefensible right wing bullshit is being like "them".

yours is not one of the better attempts at trying to stop justified criticism that i have seen. you'll have to do much better.

2. Yesterday it was outrage over a heckler, today it's old NSA news

I don't see indefensible right wing bullshit. I see repetitive over exaggerated reactions. I also see even more outrage when others aren't as outraged as you think they should be.

3. I agree that we should avoid being like "them".

We should never become so attached to individuals that we abandon principles. When something is wrong we have to stand up, even if it means disagreeing with those with whom we otherwise agree.

We owe it to our leaders to make sure that we keep them in line. That's our role as citizens and progressives.

4. IDK if it's "old" NSA news, it was verified in April after the Boston bombing and goes for 3 months

But NSA collecting data is old news.
