We now arguably have the justification for shutting down Fox News, Breitbart, Newsmax, etc.

    I expected Trump to fight to the end, but I did expect the riot at the Capitol.

    I have no problem with the law, but I have a problem with having the government limiting free speech.

    If you want the government to go after right wing news outlets for advocating insurrection, then you must also want them to go after left wing outlets for doing the same thing. If you wish for liberals to define when a right wing outlet is guilty and should be shut down, then you must allow conservatives to define when a left wing outlet is guilty and shut them down too.

    Slippery slope, neighbor. Slippery slope.

    What happened to the liberals I used to know?

    Oh bullshit.
    "Fascism: "A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."

    How do you know what I assumed? You RWers have a habit of fantasizing what others think and then attacking them for your fantasies.

    I'm now beginning to wonder about you Seth. You said in a previous post "I never expected what happened at the Capitol to ever happen."

    You posted it without hesitation and as expected, many others on the left supported it. What is your question again?

    You lose. That was done long ago when somebody yelled "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.

    OF COURSE!!! But "left wing" news outlets don't do that.

    Come on Seth. You know that is bullshit. No such division of the responsibility of "defining" anything ever existed nor will ever exist. But you seem to have trouble with enforcing the law, which is a huge surprise, frankly.

    You don't see a difference between "fighting to the end" and what happened at the Capitol? When I said "fighting to the end", I meant peacefully, using the courts or any legal maneuver open to him.

    Hold it. You first said "I expected Trump to fight to the end, but I did expect the riot at the Capitol."

    Then you said "I never expected what happened at the Capitol to ever happen".

    Did you type wrong?

    But they give voice to it. I've seen them giving voice to Antifa terrorists. I've seen them give voice to those who think rioting and arson are justifiable to bring about social change. I've seen them give voice to Maxine Waters saying people should confront administration officials and bring a crowd (aka, terrorize and endanger them).

    Come on, man!

    Consistency matters!

    If Fox or whoever is guilty of giving voice to the extreme right and should be shut down, so should CNN or MSNBC for giving voice to people advocating or defending violence from the extreme left.

    Right?

    Right.

    Works both ways, neighbor.

    That's what your OP is advocating for.

    You also confuse (willingly) an interest in accuracy for "anger"? And now you accuse me of being angry. LOL!!! You aren't doing well, Southerner. Accusation after accusation along with denial after denial. LOL!

    You didn't "observe" me posting the OP "gladly" or assuming anything, nor did you "observe" my hesitation or lack thereof. And since you didn't have any idea I would even show up today, let alone post the OP, you could not have "expected" anything.

    So you not only have a problem with accuracy, but you also seem to have a problem with honest assessment and characterization.

    ONE, 1, UNO, person on an anonymous forum, made a statement.
    And all of a sudden it's the United States of China. Talk about being not in control of one's own sense of reality.

    Right along with the OP.

    Oh? Then why are you being so completely inconsistent??? Check back. You said:
    "If you want the government to go after right wing news outlets for advocating insurrection, then you must also want them to go after left wing outlets for doing the same thing."

    Nothing any "left wing media" ever said about Antifa amounted to advocacy for insurrection. Prove me wrong. You're changing the horse mid-stream and demanding consistency???? LOL!!!

    NOPE!!! As I showed above, that is NOT what I said. Why are you twisting what I in fact said clearly?.... "neighbor"? Or don't you realize you're spinning "insurgency" into "violence"?

    Fighting is one thing.
    Pushing unfounded accusations, lies, is quite another.
    Asking for a State SoS to 'find, 11,780 votes' with veiled threats if he didn't is not fighting, that's threatening.

    Telling supporters if Mike doesn't come through today, I won't like him very much anymore.

    Which then results in:

    trumps most loyal support was being sought out to be hung.
    And trump never bothered to find out if he was OK.
