Democrats are taking a pillow to a gunfight
Newsday ^ | 10 20 2018 | Mike Vodel

It’s always preferable to take the high road, and Michelle Obama’s statement, “When they go low, we go high,” is admirable.

But in real life, when someone fights dirty and you don’t, you’re in big trouble.

Going for the jugular was rarely in the Democratic Party’s DNA. Despite that, cynical Republicans accuse them of fomenting “mob rule.” For a party led by a president who, among other things, encouraged an angry crowd at a rally to “knock the crap” out of a protester and still leads furious chants of “Lock her up!,” that’s the definition of chutzpah.

He’s right. When they shoot up a baseball game, they don’t even manage to kill anyone. Even that neighbor who assaulted Paul Ryan didn’t do any lasting damage./s

You forgot the back of the bus. First we want to put blacks in the back of the bus and re-segregate schools, and then put them back in chains. No wonder blacks are favoring Trump by a greater margin. What’s not to like./s

Trump supporters are chanting “lock her up” at a rally with other Trump supporters.
They’re not at a restaurant yelling “lock her up” at Hillary as she dines.
Big difference!

Civility and compassion have always been trademarks of the Democrat Party.

Despite that, cynical Republicans accuse them of fomenting “mob rule.”

Republicans accurately accuse Democrats of fomenting “mob rule." There is ample evidence that Democrats are encouraging violence against Republicans.

The writer, invoking moral equivalence, is sounding more and more like Baghdad Bob.

There is a mountain of evidence with Antifa gangsters and hired thugs who are attacking Republicans in restaurants, attempted murder of Scalise, and statements by Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and Hillary Clinton encouraging violence.

Republicans already have been injured. Perhaps the writer is throwing more gasoline on the fire with his call for the Democrats to be even more aggressive.

Where do the Democrats think that they are going with this corrupt and anti-American tactic?
