So, a comic insults Sarah 3 Names for lying to the American people daily, and Ben Carson proposes folks who make $4 thousand dollars a year pay 3x their rent, and we, DU are more outraged about a comedy routine. We are Democrats. Act like it.

(11,746 posts)And if so are you suggesting that attacking Democrats is what Democrats are supposed to do? The posts I see are attacking Republicans for being cowards and losers. What am I missing?

(7,142 posts)going to demand that Trump apologize to John Tester? It seems to me that the M$M has already forgotten about that low life smear on a sitting Senator.

(6,252 posts)My comments were directed to all those in the MSM who are demanding an apology from Wolfe, not to DU members. Like Mika and Andea Mitchell. Any DU members who feel an apology is warranted well I respectfully disagree but would never seek to silence them.

(48,789 posts)The media make money when people bicker on TV (or online panel equivalents). In social media other than DU, a lot of bots jack up emotions about issues like this.
Republicon strategists fire up bots and get their pundits bloviating on issues like this to take pressure away from tRump's mistakes and legal problems and off of Pruitt and Mnuchin and Pompeo and the rest of the sycophants / psycho-elephants.
OP is right to draw our attention back to tRump regime malfeasance.
I would add drawing our attention back to the Blue Wave activities.

(42,679 posts)it was serious caricature, satire, social commentary. In the long judgment of history and perspective, it will be judged for the piece of work it was. The in-yer-face schtick is very difficult to master, and to pull off in a high stakes environment in a friendly yet abrasive way and raspy screech is a very high achievement. She was mimicking the whole administration - approaches, policies, demeanor, class - and really took a bite out of it. This was a grand slam in a championship game.
