15/10 for dishonesty from Screeder Karen Tumulty
Republicans used to love the sound of an angry mob. What happened?
Not all mobs are equal, apparently.
There was a time, less than a decade ago, when the sound of red-faced protest was music to Republican ears.
That, of course, was when Barack Obama was president, and the tea party movement was hijacking congressional town hall meetings with shouts of “Tyranny!†There were plenty of shoving matches, and Democratic lawmakers were burned in effigy. The police were regularly called in to bring a semblance of order. (snip)
Now it is the Democrats who are making the noise, and the argument is playing in reverse.
“You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. Democrats have become too EXTREME and TOO DANGEROUS to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law — not the rule of the mob,†President Trump tweeted Saturday about the demonstrations that erupted after the Senate voted to confirm his nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Nowhere within this screed is it mentioned that the Tea Party was peaceful. We weren’t showing up wearing face masks, we weren’t bringing bats and padlocks in bags, we weren’t confronting police (who were only needed to keep the liberals who start the violence away), we weren’t burning things, we weren’t chasing down Democrat politicians, we weren’t harassing them in restaurants, we weren’t banging on the walls of the Supreme Court building. We weren’t taking over buildings, screaming, screeching, interrupting legislative proceedings. It wasn’t Tea Party members who were leaving feces all over General Assembly building in Wisconsin and trashing the place (Scott Walker protests). The Tea Party wasn’t leaving trash all over the D.C. Mall and other protest places.
Literally, we could turn on the TV and social media and stuff and witness the Leftist mobs. It’s there for all to see.

We do not tolerate when people on our side get frisky. Democrats push for their side to do it. Have you heard any Democratic politician decry the actions of their constituents as of late?
