2/ First, if you're defending someone assaulting a reporter because "duh lubrul media lies" allow me put the jackboot on the other foot.

4/ How would you feel if this rule got applied to Trumpbart "reporters" who are lying, tendentious, shitbirds of the highest order?
5/ Is it cool for me to beat that freakish, pasty recluse John Nolte's head in because he literally *joked about my daughter being raped* ?
6/ Are you so past the rule of law, and lack so much confidence in your ideas that this is where you take political satisfaction?
7/ Because if this is where you are, you're not a party; you're a mob. If this is where you are, you're not a conservative; you're trash.

RESIST!
