Anti-Trump groups stick to resist tactics despite shooting
MSN News ^ | June 19, 2017

Liberal groups resistant to Republican policies say they have no plans to change their tactics or approach after a gunman apparently driven by his hatred of President Donald Trump opened fire at a GOP baseball practice, grievously injuring a House Republican leader and several others.

Within hours of the shooting, leaders from both parties called for unity rather than recriminations, and many liberals — most notably former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders — immediately condemned the attack. A resistance group in the Louisiana district of the injured lawmaker, Rep. Steve Scalise, asked its members to call the congressman's office and wish him a speedy recovery.

But online and on talk radio, several conservatives questioned whether aggressive opposition to all things Trump had created a dangerous climate, and some faulted those on the left. Rush Limbaugh said the shooter represented the "deranged base of the Democratic Party" and Michael Savage tweeted in caps, "I warned America the Dems constant drumbeat of hatred would lead to violence."

Once again, their tactics would avail naught, but for the do-nothing Republicans in the house and senate.

Can we take that as a threat? Should I act as if I am in fear for my life? Careful dims. Your BS got you Trump. Keep pushing and see what you get.

Yes. SOP when they're guilty as a cat inna goldfish bowl. And GOP SOP is to give it a good 'ol Gomer Pyle "Awwww shucks".

I don't get it. Jump'em. Stomp'em in the ground. But nope. We'll just keep on losing and lining their pockets.

They may not have changed their thinking. However many of us HAVE. Lots more are getting prepared.

Why would they change successful tactics? Scalise got shot didn’t he? The only thing they probably think they need to change is the leftist lack of target practice. Lots of lefties think practice is not necessary. You just point the gun and it does all the aiming work. Most understand that a gun doesn’t pull its own trigger but it does everything else autonomously.

That is like the abusive alcoholic or wife-beating husband who does something that leaves his wife with serious physical or emotional injuries and then says to his wife, "It was all your fault! You made me so angry!"

She takes him back for years, but finally he does it for the umpteenth time and suddenly she dumps his ass in the street. Then if he doesn't kill her and/or the children, he calls at 3 AM begging, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, take me back! I'll never do it again! I promise!"

All this is straight out of the Twelve Step literature and the findings on domestic abuse. The GOP needs to stop being an abused-wife punching bag for the immature rageaholics of the left.
