Painter just doesn't back off

[SHRED]

He continues to push a false equivalency.

DNC — call off your Blue Dogs. For years their yapping has helped the elephant herd in the House stomp out gun laws. Stop rewarding them by making them senators and governors when they “evolve” on guns. And get that NRA money out of their chow bowl. It’s killing our kids.

Democrats are not the problem Richard. Your party is the problem.

NRA money is puppy chow for young Blue Dogs building their careers in the House where they bark at the mere mention of gun laws. They won’t touch the NRA chow bowl when they “evolve” to become senators and governors, but their political success breeds more Blue Dogs in the House.

1. This is why we shouldn't be praising Republican tools

People like Painter and Kristof are not our friends.

[SHRED]

2. He continually exploits the Franken divide also

[kentuck]

3. Are you a bot?

Painter may be wrong on this one? But how many has he been right on? Divisive post, imo.

[SHRED]

4. Painter is a Republican attacking Democrats

Just because he says the right things once in a while we're supposed to ignore this?

[kentuck]

8. Nobody's perfect...

Throw everyone under the bus. That's real keen.

[SHRED]

10. I see

Maybe we should call this site:

"Democratic (and any Republican who says the right thing now and then) Underground"

[kentuck]

12. Maybe we should call it:

Divide Democrats every chance we get. Not just by criticizing "friendly" Republicans or former Republicans, but also every Democrat that may have disappointed us in the last ten years or so. Divide and conquer. I am beginning to think that Russian trolls have taken over?

[SHRED]

14. How does criticizing a Republican...

...when deserved, divide Democrats?

[SHRED]

22. Here's the latest

Nice huh?

13. Funny

Not a bot, comrade.

[SHRED]

15. 😂

5. He has a history of pitting Democrats against Democrats. nt.

[SHRED]

6. It's so obvious to anyone following his Twitter feed

[NCTraveler]

9. Love that he attacks Trump.

I don't kid myself into thinking he is something he is not. He is not on our side. Will never be on our side. His attack on Blue Dogs is laughable.

[SHRED]

11. I appreciate his truths also however

Apparently we can't go after his bullshit here on our Democratic Underground without pushback here.

[NCTraveler]

16. He sucks. nt.

[SHRED]

17. I wouldn't go that far

He is by and large doing the right things with CREW and going after Trump and Republicans.

It's when he tries to paint a false equivalency with the murderous NRA and also exploiting the Franken divide that I think he crosses the line.

[NCTraveler]

18. I think this falls under "he sucks".

"It's when he tries to paint a false equivalency with the murderous NRA and also exploiting the Franken divide that I think he crosses the line."

He has a history of doing so.

I do agree with you about CREW and appreciate his efforts there. Still an ass.

[SHRED]

19. 👍

7. Painter may be a "never Trumper" but he's still a Republican...

[BannonsLiver]

20. What's hilarious is that tweet would probably be a big hit at JPR

[SHRED]

21. They love attacking and dividing Democrats over there

[SHRED]

23. The hits just keep on coming

24. He's usually right about his criticism of Fatso-in-Chief ....

However, this false equivalence sucks. I run hot and cold with him. He is hilarious though when he goes in on Fatso-in-chief
