One is an extremist group just like ISIS or the weather underground, the other is a mainstream political party?

Nah. Even his own party is calling him out.

So? It doesn’t make them right. We’re going on principles here. Politicians go on what’s expedient.

You said mainstream. If even his own party thinks he is extreme, I don’t know what to say.

I don’t see the disconnect.

The store sells merchandise. It’s not selling riot gear or items taken from the ill advised occupation. I don’t know if anything the store sells which is controversial.

Even Snowden and Greenwald people the left admired when expedient, disagree with how social media is tripping over itself to seem pious.

All these media who are virtue signaling have awful offenders on their sites. They don’t care. They only care if it makes them look virtuous.

Glenn and Edward are on the left politically but they are honest leftists who see the idiocy behind these moves. The utter and disgusting loss of the freedom of speech among Americans.
