I have a question (not for you specifically, but for everyone).

Why do we we hear so many cases about harassment of kids by the left, but never by the right?

This is the second one in as many weeks -- the other one being the girl that was harassed by her geometry teacher for wearing a Romney/Ryan T-shirt. The teacher apologized, BTW -- before the entire school.

Is it because the ones perpetrated by the right aren't reported? Or because it just isn't reported here on FR?

Or is it because they simply don't happen?

I'm not asking a rhetorical question. I'm truly curious -- have you ever heard of someone on the right harassing a kid over their political views?

My thought exactly! I can’t think of any story about a conservative adult picking on a kid. And I can’t believe the media would bury such a gem.

I can only assume such events are few and far between.

I guess if you don’t have the facts to debate an informed adult you’re reduced to picking on kids.

Because they'd get stomped by their fellow conservatives for one.

If a conservative were to pull a stupid stunt like this, you'd better believe that it would get reported on every mainstream media outlet, and probably for days on end. Such an incident would certainly be discussed here.

I'm pretty sure that for the most part, it doesn't happen. At least not what most people would consider real harassment.

In order to be a leftist, you must have loads of hubris, believing not only that you're right, but that you know the ultimate "truth," and the people with whom you disagree aren't just wrong, but evil. So it's not enough to just have a political discussion, but they drop straight into the gutter and try to destroy their opponents.

Plus, it seems that this moron bus driver, ostensibly an adult, simply couldn't have a rational discussion with a pre-teen. Again, typical leftist.
