Seriously? You don't see protests against a political figure as different than threats against a private citizen? Sad.
did I say that? nope, don't think that's what I said. obviously the perspective of the situation changes depending whether your on the so called "left" or "right".
You can't have it both ways. If the guy chooses to do things in a completely unconventional, arguably very non-presidential fashion (there are manifold examples of this behavior) why wouldn't both the press and opposition make note? Conversely, these behavior seems like the very reason his supporters love him so much (see: "throwing grenades"). Justice Kennedy was in the news yesterday, and his comments were more about the nature of the times we live in, where civil discourse has gone missing. You can blame both sides for that, but there is no missing it being an outcome of increased polarity -- something many on this board have championed.
Who gave the left the authority to define "the way"? The press is butt hurt. Good. They are as much to blame for the divide in this nation as anyone.
With respect to my observation, "the way" has not been defined by the left. It has been defined by history, as that is the basis for most norms. Carry on with pointing fingers at a side while I admonish us all.
The way is being redefined by technology and media. I see a loss of objectivity resulting from the need to feed the machine. We are not better for this change.
