And it's still a far cry from the OP's conservative "news" site.

Neither the KKK nor Westboro Church would be considered liberals, and none of the groups were accused of flinging feces/urine at police officers.

Just pointing out how stuff can grow and get twisted on the 'net. A couple years ago I watched in amusement as a minor rumor - about some group allegedly planning to attack the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in DC - grew online to such hysterical proportions that it spawned an entire counter-demonstration movement. Of course, someone was readily available to sell the counter protesters T-shirts, pins and patches.

I'm a little confused how some kook, says Clinton should be "executed", equates to justification for throwing urine and feces at other individuals, or is "racist".

Partisan click bait relies on hearsay to compel people to well, click.

People believe anything when it validates their perceptions.

So, it never even happened.

Funny how hyperpartisans can fall victim to BS when trying to smear the opposition.

Internet/ social media tends to bring out the "old women at the village well on wash day" in some people.

Just like John Lewis wasnt called a "******", but you guys went on and on about hate..

Furthermore, you only need to read these threads to see who really hates.. people actually justifying it..

p.s. was "smear" used, intentional, or as a pun?

Are the battle lines any more clear??? Left wingers now filling water balloons with urine and feces and throwing them at cops and GOP supporters. And media says it's "otherwise peaceful protests" of course.

Faith vs Filth.
Law & Order vs the Lawless Left
Civility vs the vile vermin

Voting Democrat these days may as well be a sign of one's lack of a soul or morals.
What a wacko and wacko followers in this thread! The quoted story, from the "Conservative Tribune," doesn't identify the perpetrators.

In any case, let's indict all liberals, Democrats, etc. The big impression created by the RNC and many posts in this forum is profound "hate."
