Remember when our hand-wringing friends in the legacy media as well as in the Democratic Party faulted Republican presidential candidates for not condemning a man who booed a gay solider? Well, now we have someone booing a U.S. Senator and calling him “the devil.” By Democratic logic then, every Democratic present at this event must condemn the boor lest they be considered to support his antics:
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) raised eyebrows Monday evening when he was unceremoniously booed during an appearance at the Kennedy Center’s D.C. CAP-ital Stars Gala.
The Senator raised eyebrows!?!? Interesting way to put it. “Midway through the Kennedy Center event to benefit the D.C. College Access Program,” Jenny Rogers reports, Blunt
. . . was honored by the board for his support of education in the Senate. While Blunt was being introduced, an audience member shouted, “Blunt is the devil.” A tense moment passed without comment before the ceremony continued. As Blunt took the stage, the heckler loudly booed.
Look, there are boors are both sides of the political aisle. No Democrat needs distinguish himself for this individual’s antic unless said partisan holds to the notion that Republicans must “differentiate themselves” from the angry rhetoric of the extremists on the right side of the political aisle.
Is the D.C. CAP-ital Stars Gala a Democratic event? Was it hosting Democratic candidates for office? Were the audience members being asked on what grounds should Democratic candidates be chosen between? Was the boorish audience member judging the candidate on his biology?
No?
Oh, ok.
So your example is entirely different and bears no resemblance to the man who booed the gay soldier. Got it.
Yes, it is entirely different. But, the point is that there are boors are both sides. And we never seem to hear demands that Democrats differentiate themselves from such folk.
Yes there are BDB yes there are

Frankly, I’m getting tired of this discussion about how the left gets away with everything they do and conservatives don’t. Karl Marx, Thedor Adorno and others on the left were all degenerates. Conservatives couldn’t be degenerates if they tried, lets get over it and move on.
… Calling the president a liar … The vice president swearing on the congressional floor … All perfectly acceptable behavior ..
And believe me, I’ve tried.
“Calling the president a liar.”
Oh, so now telling the truth is unacceptable behaviour? Really?
As indeed it was last week.
Not this week, of course. But no worries; it will be again when there’s a Republican in the White House.
All explainable, of course.
#6 – “And believe me, I’ve tried.”
Only the RHINO’s succeed it seems.
