"BOTH sides are at fault here" is what they're saying...and it isn't fucking true

[LaydeeBug]

There they go again. All over the news this morning, in my personal newsfeed and on the radio...BOTH sides are to blame.

Except they're fucking not.

Oft repeated lies become the truth if no one stops them.

Now, we can't STOP them from telling lies, but we can all do our best to stop those lies from SPREADING.

Saddle up, gladiators. Whether we like or not, we've been recruited.

1. Exactly right; we can't let this nonsense stand. Only one side has put a gun to our economy's head

Some of you might be fortunate enough not to know any Republicans but for those of us who do we need to let them know that this is nonsense.

Don't get stuck defending Obamacare - that's not the point. The point is that Republicans are holding America hostage because they couldn't defeat Obamacare in Congress, they couldn't beat it at the Ballot Box, and they couldn't beat it in the Courts. So they are trying this now.

2. The Democrats are also at fault because ..

the Democratic President is Black and a Kenyan Socialist who wasn't born in the U S of A.

3. well, we knew it was going to happen...

I was happy to at least see Obama doing his substantial part to fight back against the Fake Centrist "both sides" meme.

9. I a happy to see them fighting too. It's about time the President led the fight

instead of capitulating.

4. We have "Democrats" or "Liberals" saying the same thing here.

Like blaming a beaten wife for her bruises, they blame Democrats for not being liberal enough, which in turn makes the Republicans act like assholes.


Pretzel Logic.

5. I always hear that from RWing acquaintances whenever their side is obviously fucking up.

The most jaw dropping statement was from a fan of Ann Coulter who told me, "it's the extremists in both parties that are causing the problems."

And who were these extremists? Ted Kennedy.

I was thunderstruck. This, coming from someone who has copies of Ann Coulter books in her bathroom.

6. It really is tantamount to "I'm sorry" for them, but I am not letting them "blame both sides"

they can blow me.

Or not, as it were, but you get my drift.

7. Same here.

8. the media is not democracy's friend-they love the boxing match

[90-percent]

10. Pretty supine MSM we have, isn't it?

Fortunately, Jon sorts it all out in clear irrefutable form about what these terrorist kidnappers and their MSM accomplices are really up to. An epic JS takedown, in my opinion.
