posted by SpockWait....you cant post a story about how crazy some elected official is because it comes from a news source you dont like? Since that is the case you think that the story is BS?
You can post whatever you like. And no, I don't dispute the story happened. My point is that with 350 million of us in this country, there will always be incidents of people doing crazy things, whether in the name of politics, religion, race, whatever. Unfortunately we live in an age where it is easy to project every one of those people's actions to everyone. We then read or watch these stories and start to believe they are part of some trend or movement or whatever the case and that they actually represent something significant.
Most of our country functions just fine. Differing views are what makes us great. Extremists or nut jobs are not representative of the bulk of us. Pasting these stories and making that suggestion is what I disagree with.
