Ah wait, Congressman Brat, it seems you take exception to having been called out. As you said:
It’s like I have to live up to the Sermon on the Mount, but the other side [eds. note: meaning Eileen Bedell] can yell and scream and then say we need to have civility in our politics. It makes you scratch your head.
Let’s let that marinate for a second, because this one needs to be appreciated. You said, and I’m paraphrasing here-- we can go right back to the quote if need be but I’m pretty sure this is fair. Ready?
You said that it’s the other side is yelling and screaming.
The other side.
THE OTHER SIDE??
Are you outside your mind?
I am incredulous. I am aghast and agog. I am stupefied. I am stunned.
Do do you realize who you are supporting? Who you are working for? Who you have taken contributions from? Here let me help you:
Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, who, with your help, has humiliated Americans is a way not seen from a politician ever?
Donald Trump, who, with your help, raised the level of hatefulness in this country?
Donald Trump, who, with your help, has made every single American look like idiots to the world?
Donald Trump, a man who, with your help, has done nothing but yell and scream and lie and belittle and mock and bully us all for over a year now?
Yah, that Donald Trump.
And then you have the temerity to accuse the other side of yelling and screaming?
Oh, sweet irony, thy name is Dave Brat.
Wait a second, it’s not-- it can’t be, can it? Again? Nooo, say it ain’t, Dave-o.
Are you once again implying that women only discuss through yelling and screaming? I ask again: Are you seriously that sexist? Is that an appeal to your base or something? Do you and the Donald sit around and swap locker room stories? Do you really have so little respect for women that everything you hear them say is a yell or a scream? Do you think they are incapable of controlling themselves?
Hey-- lookit that, you kind of do think that and you want to make choices for them. How chivalrous.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, why don’t you actually take a look at what Ms. Bedell has said, supra (that means, “above,” in case you get lost), or elsewhere on her website. You call that yelling and screaming? Good grief, as a fellow professor, I feel sorry for your students. What can they even write or talk about without offending your obviously thin-skinned sensibilities? Do you force them all to just regurgitate some loopy Ayn Rand?
Yelling and screaming. Right. Honestly.
To be continued ….
