        Peter, Jesus. This is the kind of sophistry that makes everyone look stupid. Don't adopt the GOP "whataboutism." When someone makes a mistake, chide & move on. Don't say "OH! BUT WHATABOUT...?" If you insist on doing that, join the idiots on fox news, cause thats their argument

        Kurt- it's a reality check, not whataboutism. Here's the difference:https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/1081307894090477568 …

        WHATABOUTISM: When Dems criticize the GOP for heinous policies and Repubs come back with "But Hillary..." NOT WHATABOUTISM: When @RashidaTlaib uses a curse word like #ImpeachTheMF and the Dem response is that Trump/GOP have done MUCH worse, like kidnap babies.

        Peter - here is how this would have gone away. "I used an inappropriate word for the President. The office deserves more respect than that." Done. Instead, we are still discussing and excusing, while Fox is using it as proof that impeachment is purely partisan. It is ALL loss.

        ...when you are with a president who might be mentally ill and a GOP that won't fight him, we don't have the luxury of handing weapons to GOP simply so we can feel a moment of personal satisfaction. Play the long game. Focus. Acknowledge when there's a dem error. And move on.

        A lot of people don't see it as an error. I happen to avoid cursing in my political arguments, but I certainly don't think it's wrong to point out the right's hypocrisy when this riles them up but they're silent or complicit on the most egregious policies.

        Strikes me as a classic gaff. Saying the truth when you aren’t supposed to. But objecting to profanity from politicians in this day and age is a tad precious.

        Tobias, Can you link a direct URL for this? (YouTube etc.) There are a couple of knuckle-headed Trump suppurts in my town that are going apeshit about the new Congresswoman's "Lack of decorum". ....I'd like to straighten them out.

        I’m willing to bet the outrage over language has more to do with the gender of the speaker than the actual message.

        I do not care if every member of Congress uses swear words in every single sentence when referring to Trump. He deserves it all.

        Well, if it were a white dude who swore, then they’d all joke about shooting each other in the face and no one would care. But it was a woman of color. That’s big to them because she clearly doesn’t know “her place.”

        people complained that the Dems weren't aggressive enough or fight as hard and now complain now that they are.

        I don’t want to be like the Republicans. Sure we are angry and justifiable so, but we know from the past that the press will pile higher on us. Let’s wait till hearings and Mueller before we talk impeachment.
