Accepting responsibility is not in their playbook.

Leading Republicans graciously, and rightly, let Democrats off the hook for one of their party’s zealots opening fire on GOP congressmen on Wednesday. Leading Democrats showed their appreciation by blaming the shooting on Republicans.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi ended the 24-hour era of good feelings on Thursday by slamming Republicans as “sanctimonious” in their response to the attack. She traced the current incivility to Republicans, a sort of Professor Moriarty in her storytelling. “Somewhere in the 1990s,” she claimed, “Republicans decided on the politics of personal destruction as they went after the Clintons and that is the provenance of it and is what has continued.”

Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, responding to the GOP’s support for the Second Amendment, tweeted, “Republicans are getting what they want.”

"Who assassinated the last Congressman to die performing the duties of of his office? Jonestown Communists. Who fired a shot at Gerald Ford? A Symbionese Liberation Army sympathizer who, in her own words, tried to start a “revolution.” Who assassinated John F. Kennedy? A Communist who renounced his American citizenship and moved to the Soviet Union. Who assassinated William McKinley? An anarcho-communist compared to Brutus by the assassin’s acquaintance, Emma Goldman. Who assassinated James Garfield? A Bible Communist crazy who lived for five years within the group marriage at the Oneida Community.

Notice a pattern? James Hodgkinson falls into it.

An opportunity to condemn extremists of their party presented itself to Nancy Pelosi, the New York Times, and the Daily Kos. Instead, they condemned the opposition party targeted by a gunman."

Progressive comedians think showing a beheaded head of Trump is art.

Shakespeare in the NYC Park shows Trump being assassinated.

Progressive/liberals rioting and conducting organized violence at Trump and conservative gatherings.

Democrats leaders calling Trump a Nazi and the people who voted for him fascists.

And we are surprised liberals/progressives wants to kill Republicans?

And Hitler never personally gassed a Jew.

But the hate and venom of democrat leaders and the fake media are leading this country to violence.

And it is not going to end well.

“Leading Republicans graciously, and rightly, let Democrats off the hook...”

No. Just. Frackin’. No.

There’s nothing gracious or right about letting scumbags not feel every possible repercussion for their scumbaggery.

It’s moral cowardice, plain and simple.

But what should we expect from a GOPe that is dominated by spineless jellyfish, craven cowards and pathological liars?

Nancy obviously slept thru the 60's, 70's and 80's. Either that or Botox causes terrible amnesia.

It’s nice to know that the Bork and Thomas stuff never happened.
