Funny how Republicans hate free speech. Tell me this, why didn't Republicans call out to freaks like this who threatened to kill any legislators who didn't vote for Kavanaugh.
How would they have "called out" this idiot? The first anyone heard of it was after the arrest.
You are correct, and how are democrats supposed to call out rowdy demonstrators? That was my point in posting that. I don't have any friends or relatives who even demonstrate so how am I supposed to 'call them out'? The entire premise of this thread is absurd.
I really haven't been watching the protests... what did these people do, exactly?
That said, I didn't see any Republicans calling for Kavanaugh to calm down and treat the members of his confirmation committee with respect, so I'm thinking y'all don't really care.
And... Trump made fun of Ford at a rally. Where were these MANY Republicans decrying his lack of courtesy?
He didn't make fun of her.
He told it as she worked it & the world watched it...it's still indelible in the hippocampus.
The thing is though, if you look back thru history, change usually only happens as a result of MAJOR uprising, MAJOR disobedience, even resorting to violence.
Lots of 'good moral upstanding citizens' living in the south in the 60s, wished all those troublemakers fighting for civil rights would just shut up, go home, obey and comply, stop making problems for police and the community!...Just imagine how far civil rights would have gotten if they had obeyed and complied with everything, NO 'troublemaking', NO disobedience, NO destruction of property, etc...it would have went NOWHERE!
Same goes for this nations founding...would the US exist today if the patriots back then obeyed and complied with England, and only held peaceful protests instead? HECK NO, and we celebrate these patriots for what they did...naturally some 'troublemakers' today will likely be honored and celebrated by future generations for the trouble they are causing today.
The difference is that today? When liberals/dems don't get THEIR way? That's what the resort to.
Has nothing to do with changing a thing; just a big bunch of babies who don't like not "winning".
So this one nut in Florida represents all Republicans?
Damn...good thing I'm an Independent.
BTW, I think you're confused about who hates free speech.
And...

Patrick was arrested this week on a charge of written threats to kill or injure and is being held on a $500,000 bond, according to booking records. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney.
Where are all the libs who are guilty of the same?
Still tweeting & protesting & inciting & walking around free as birds....

What the heck are you talking about? Protesting and demonstrating are protected by the constitution just like your gun rights are. You want to criticize democrats for demonstrating, why? Because you disagree with what they said, or is it because you realize that they probably got large numbers of like minded people fired up and more engaged in voting than they would have been otherwise? The vietnam war only ended when people took to the streets and I was one of them and I'm proud that I contributed in some small way to ending a horrible illegitimate war.
In their mind - peaceful protest is ZERO protest. Republicans aren't for civic engagement. That's how the elite old farts stay in power and give tax breaks to the 1%.
The elite old farts like Pelosi, Feinstein, Bernie, Warren, Hoyer, Blumenthal, etc.?
Then we have Ruthie Bader Ginsberg (and her political bias), who can barely stay awake for more than two hours at a time.

Don't twist what I said.
Dems/libs don't get their way in this day and age (even through the electoral process) and it's chaos & protesting and looting & #resist.
Bunch of babies who don't seem to understand that they can't always have it their way...which is why the morons are now so upset about the electoral college. Until their next #mypotus wins due to the electoral college system.
