And they did do it to Biden, and that's important. And they did worse, such as the hog tied Biden on the pick up that many people have referenced. I found that alarming at the time. Did I call a cop? No. I fail to see any evidence in your OP or in the replies that we are sinking to their level or showing hypocrisy in our response to the situations. They have done worse many times, and our side did not overreact. Comey's post was childsplay in comparison, and they completely and ridiculously overreacted using the power of the government to do so. So, do I feel owned? No. As usual, they are the worst offenders by far, and the biggest complainers and I am not going to navel gaze about it while they destroy the country. Sorry. And just to be clear, I do not believe that Comey was calling for violence and I am 100% against violence.
