Pretentious hypocrisy...

[CousinIT]

...is the hallmark of Republicans

1. Hypocrisy, yes but

stupid infantile behavior is stupid infantile behavior. It's also hypocrisy to condemn the awful pictures about Obama and not Griffin's bizarre attempt at humor.

There is no defense for jokes about violence no matter your political bent.

2. I didn't say I approve of what Griffin did. But i don't approve of GOP behavior either.

Dems, Repubs and the media and public all damn to hell and breathlessly demand apologies when a non-male, non-white, non-"Christian", or non-heterosexual uses the same "humor" Republicans do.

But IOIYAR (It's OK If You're a Republican) in their minds.

Gross double standard.

ALL OF IT, IMO should be condemned.

However as is, we only condemn it when it's not a member of the privileged class doing it. When it's a member of the privileged class, we let it slide. Like we did with Obama. Like they do with the Portland murders and Trumpista assault on our press people. Not a peep of condemnation. At all.

3. I agree

All such should be equally condemned.
