    I'm not even sure what makes something a censurable offense. Do you?

    Censoring is a poor standard for punishment. Voting out idiots is a better standard. If they do something really badike actually threaten someone, it would be illegal and there is already a process for that.

    There is no clear cut definition if that's what you're asking. Essentially it's used if some Congress critter does/says something especially rude/frowned upon.

    If you think the moronic idiots that she was inciting would stop at harassment you are being naive.

    I bet you'll ignore this post and not answer these questions but go ahead and prove me wrong perhaps we shall see...

    Where does one go when you are not quote on quote welcome anymore anywhere?

    Concerning all of People who read something From the Desk of Donald J. Trump:
    As we speak, at least 10,000 of them (who have been in constant contact by phone, text, and social media) are mobilizing for a coordinated attack on Washington DC.

    ^Prove me wrong.

    I bet you'll ignore this post and not answer these questions but go ahead and prove me wrong perhaps we shall see...

    Anyway, back on-topic to Gosar:

    He seems to have little to worry about in his District...
    He Won 70% to 30% in 2020...

    She was smart enough to go from an average working American to the US Congress at a very young age and has managed to piss off some of the biggest a$$ holes on the planet.

    I was responding to another poster who was suggesting that she was dirty and smelly. You seem to think this forum is a haven for petty little not pickers with no real points to make.

    You think that it takes intelligence for a Democrat to win New York's 14th District? :roflol:

    She beat a 5 time incumbent in the Democratic primary to win her seat by going out in her community and knocking on doors talking on street corners and connecting with the people in her district. She had no big donors or corporate sponsors. She had a dream since childhood to represent her neighborhood and she went out on her own initiative and got it. Hers is another great American story. What have you ever done that even approaches her achievement? If she were my daughter, my sister or my friend, I would be extremely proud of her. I, as an American am very proud of her. Sitting way back in the cheap seats making snotty little comments and denigrating her achievements says all we need to know about you. You aren’t even in her league.

    Fair enough, I wasn't aware of how she became the candidate. But once she was the candidate, she had won before election day.

    @ButterBalls made no mention of her being "dirty and smelly."

    Allow me to jump in May I?

    Was it not some other Democrat that said that her district would elect a glass of water?

    How many jobs was it that she's single-handedly ran off how many thousands of jobs?

    It was Amazon she ran out of town right?

    No, the issue is inflammatory and inappropriate statements and actions. If you want to split hairs, Gosar didn't personally threaten anybody either. The person who made the video didn't even threaten. It was a cartoon that chose to get it's message across in a highly inappropriate manner, one that it could be argued might inspire someone else to threaten or act, but the cartoon itself was not a threat. It was, however, highly inappropriate and inflammatory. That's the issue. And it's one that both parties ignore when it comes from their own members. And the justification that both parties have is that the other party doesn't do it either.

    And there we have the truth of the matter.

    Anyone who would deny the inappropriateness of either this event or Mrs Waters inflammatory comments is simply being a partisan in denial.

    That was Then This is NOW!

    And...THIS Thread is about Gosar...
    Who has no worries, b/c he is in a Deep Red 70% District...
    He doesn't care what the House Dems do...

    However, you (unlike the overwhelming majority at PF) do seem to find Maxine Waters intriguing, and you (obviously) want to discuss her...

    Here is a thread from almost 3 1/2 Years ago...
    Maybe you could *bump* this one? Or start a new one?

    Just trying to be helpful, since you've veered so far Off-Topic...
    You're Welcome...
