It isn't just Conservatives, or Loony Liberals....
It is individuals that are hardcore team players. We see it on both sides. More so with Team Obama, like we had never seen before. But what is transpiring, with the Democrats today, it could blow that away. As they have no leadership and they are grasping straws to stay alive.

It just depends who is relevant, that day. The Democrats have had their heads cut off and have become irrelevant. I see no substance coming from the democrat echo chamber, that wants me to sit on the sidelines, much less switch teams.

No doubt The Guardian reporter was goading Gianforte and the reporter got the response he wanted.....the candidate lost his cool. Not smart or acceptable for Gianforte to put his hands on the reporter. No excuse would be acceptable for manhandling an annoying reporter, either.

Gianforte could have and should have just walked away and ignored the taunting. He was wrong to resort to violence.

Actually... It's more like " anybody that disagrees and is different from you is the enemy". It's intimidation. Some of us on CD want liberals purged .

The audio is available. Perhaps you should listen before declaring with no doubt that the reporter was "goading" Gianforte.

How about you back up your assertion with some facts? Would you please provide a list of the "more so" conspiracy/loony theories of 'Team Obama'?

We can compare it with a list of conspiracy/loony theories of 'Team Trump.'

We need guys like this in office, the press can't just jam crap in peoples faces and not pull back upon request.
IMO, this action has been a long time coming. Reporters seems the believe that they are exempt from common decency, immune from any negative reactions, so they can do whatever they want, go wherever they want, pester anybody they want, lie if necessary to enhance the story, etc.
I have seen it getting worse and worse all my life.
When you enter a private office uninvited, and somebody says "Get the hell out of here!", the SMART thing to do would be to quietly leave. Obviously, the reporter wasn't smart.

Reporter wanted an answer. I want an answer. Answer the question or turn and walk away or tell him to get the ...... Out . Mr G decided to pull a hulk Hogan.

Did you even bother to listen to the exchange OR READ THE NEWS ARTICLE?

Most normal people walk away from an altercation. Operative word being "normal." As soon as a guy throws the first punch he's at fault no matter what the other guy says. Hell, Jesse Ventura and Arnold never did this and those two are the first ones I'd think to be slamming ****ers that bug them. So this says something.
