Right. Democrats would never occupy a capitol for a protest.
“Thousands of protesters rushed to the … Capitol Wednesday night, forcing their way through doors, crawling through windows and jamming corridors.” That is how one newspaper described the storming of the Capitol — not the one in Washington last week, but the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., a decade ago."
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) praised the occupiers for an “impressive show of democracy in action” and tweeted as they assaulted the Capitol that she continued “to stand in solidarity” with the union activists. In other words, Democrats were for occupying capitols before they were against it."
"On March 1, 1971, Weather Underground members planted a bomb in a men's restroom one floor below the chamber of the U.S. Senate. They used a stopwatch connected to a fuse to control the time of the explosion and issued a warning by telephone half an hour before the bomb detonated. The blast devastated the bathroom, smashing the plumbing fixtures. The doors to the Senate barbershop were torn off their hinges and crashed through a window ending up in a courtyard. Lighting fixtures, plaster and tile were damaged in the corridor. A stained glass window in the Senate dining room was badly damaged.
The group issued a statement saying they had attacked "the very seat of U.S. white arrogance" to protest against the invasion of Laos that had begun on February 8, hoping to "freak out the warmongers". No one was ever arrested or convicted for this bombing."
"The May 19th Communist Organization was a women-led successor to the Weather Underground.[35] Active from 1978 to 1985, the group engaged in domestic terrorism. The group also incorporated members of the Black Liberation Army. The organization carried out two prison escapes, several armed robberies, the killing of three armored car guards, and at least seven bombings. On November 6, 1983, two members of the group assembled a bomb in a restroom at the Capitol that failed to go off. The following day, they returned and assembled a second bomb, which detonated, causing extensive damage but no casualties. "
"Beginning a week after the September 11 attacks, letters containing poisonous anthrax spores were mailed, initially to five media organizations. The attacks were first detected at the headquarters of American Media in Boca Raton, Florida which at that time owned the National Enquirer, a supermarket tabloid. A letter was also addressed to the offices of Tom Brokaw, an anchor at NBC News in New York, and also to ABC News, CBS News and the New York Post. The anthrax in the first round of letters was relatively crude, described as brown and grainy. Weeks later, letters containing a much finer and more dangerous anthrax formulation were mailed to Senator Tom Daschle, then the Senate Majority Leader, and Senator Patrick Leahy. As these envelopes passed through the postal system, anthrax particles were spread widely in many locations, and other pieces of mail were contaminated. The worst contamination at the Capitol was in the Hart Senate Office Building. In all, five people died, and 22 people became infected with variations of anthrax disease."
And then we have the protesting Democrats harassing and threatening SCOTUS justices. Talk about an INSERRECTION and threat to democracy!
This is your problem Frank, you conflate everything. When a few weather underground people bombed Congress, you say they are democrats; they weren’t. They were part of a domestic terrorist group and certainly didn’t have any members of Congress and in the Whitehouse helping them to coordinate the attack.
And what does the anthrax scare have to do with democrats? They were targeted. Again, conflating nonsensical terror events and blaming them on democrats?
By your logic, I should blame republicans for Timmothy McVeigh bombing the Oklahoma City Federal Building. He was right-wing militia and republican; so was his militia.
And quite frankly, white nationalist domestic terror attacks account for 60% of all terror attacks in this country (According to the FBI). So if you want to have this debate, bring it on, instead of misinterpreting history from the 1960’s.
News flash Frank: It’s the 21st century! Seriously dude, you need a Prozac the size of a watermelon!
Oh come on now. Try to access some self-reflective honesty here.
"In 1995, Bill Clinton famously used Timothy McVeigh’s bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City to tar Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh and turn the public against small-government Republicans. The 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords led to an onslaught of Republican-blaming"
Leftist protestors often head into terrorism territory. The entire 18 months of BLM and Antifa riots were domestic terrorism. But you support that... probably as you support Palestinian terrorism. Because your politics are righteous. And so you scramble typing word salads to try and defend what is indefensible and denigrate what is just normal God-given human rights as protected by our constitution.
I live in liberal land and debate your species on a regular basis and thus have a self-awarded PHD thesis that explained liberalism as a mental/emotional disfunction as practiced today. Unlike you, my faith in God and my family and my job is supremely more important than are any political orientation. I am politically agnostic. Not fealty to any cult political party as part of my need to be seen as virtuous like all my liberal friends. I only seek the facts and make judgements based on rational and logical comparison of situations. The Democrats are lying hypocrites these days. There really isn't anything moral or virtuous about that once great party of the American working class. It is a party of the raging, upset, life-meaning-starved upper class... that believe they are THE ELECT... and thus any means to an end is good. That was the same view Hitler and Mao had.
Oh come on now indeed. You generalize without any evidence that leftist protestors often head into terrorist territory. And you even accuse Robert Jaffee of probably supporting Palestinian terrorism, and further insult him.
You also say you have a self-awarded PHD thesis --- what in the world is that? How does that make you an expert on anything??
Unfortunately, those who have no rational, evidence-based arguments very often stoop to ad hominem, personal insults and attacks on those they disagree with. And that is what you seem to be doing now.
So why not instead address the major problem and danger of our times, which is the anti-democratic, racist, misogynistic and vengeful Donald Trump, as demonstrated by his insidious attempted insurrection of January 6, 2021 ? --- which is as Steve says, “America’s most tragic day”. And which was and is still celebrated by so many Americans, who unthinkingly support Trump no matter what..
And why not instead do everything possible to preserve the rule of law and American democracy by striving to prevent Trump’s re-election in 2024?
And despite Steve’s attempt to reassure us that Trump will be defeated in 2024, I am not at all convinced.
I think it is more essential than ever now for all of us to work together to defeat this would-be tyrant and dictator.
So instead of insulting those you disagree with, I urge you please to join our great endeavour to stop what would be the American and world-wide disaster of Trump’s reelection as President.
Get off your high horse. Your post here is personally insulting. What is wrong with you people that you are so blind to you blatant hypocrisy? God, if you really knew what 70% of the country and world thinks about you with you ideological cult luxury beliefs, you should be embarrassed.
Trump is living rent free in your heads and making ya'll blabbering idiots with cult-honed rhetorical sills.
I start the conversation on the topic and immediately you high and mighties go personal. Robert did post some interesting comments, but too much left ideological talking points to be useful.
Jan-6 was not an insurrection. Look up the Webster meaning of the word. Russiagate was the most disgusting abuse of government power for politics we have ever experienced, and that is the actual threat to democracy. The Covid authoritians were all Democrats. Talk about another threat to democracy.
I am not trying to change your mind, because you are cult programmed beyond any rational debate. I put it out there for the few objective readers to see.
I frequent sites outside of my normal views so I can learn. But all I am learning is stubborn refusal to accept anything outside of the left political media narrative. Might as well just watch MSNBC to "learn" something. LOL

WOW Frank, you really are extremely angry, and not just at me.
And in light of your clear contempt for us supposedly cult-programmed “blabbering idiots”, I must really wonder why you are on this site??
I do hope you get some professional help to deal with your anger problems.
