Nope, only one side is falling for it.
Sure, Jan.
Well, the only story I saw on the 7 TVs at the gym last night while on the elliptical were about people on the left getting it... and 5 of the 7 outlets failed to say anything about the denial, or any connection/tracing to anywhere else. The two who did were both fox outlets (local and national).... so WMU, you just called at least 5 of our 7 media sources ridiculous.
There is more than one way to jump to a conclusion... What you DON'T say can be just as important.... like its clear that we knew for a fact that this didn't come from the PBs almost immediately (having seen such spams as we all have, all you usually have to do is hover over the address to see that what shows on the page as '@microsoft.com' is actually 'uigrfiuugrio87487@spamhost.co.ru'
It's also notable that the group who has most fervently condemned this action and called for incarceration of anyone who would engage in intimidating actions are the supposed domestic terrorists. I don't know enough about the PBs to say anything about them either way, but I've seen MUCH more aggressive actions and failures to denounce threats of violence, much less actual violence from groups like BLM.
Crazys do exist on both sides... but only one side has the media running cover for their crazys... and this has been a perfect example of it.
WMU as to the letter scaring off Democrats... that's a convenient though transparent ruse (not that you are doing it, but as a defense). The email went to small numbers of people, but millions of people heard about it. Nobody who didn't get the email would feel threatened, but millions would feel like someone was trying to intimidate Democrats. The number of Democrat voters you would encourage is vastly greater than the number of voters you would scare off... and this idea of motivating the base to get out there and vote AGAINST Trump... and not FOR candidates whom they have never once supported in any numbers before... who don't even represent the half of the party that supported Bernie... has been quite clear from day 1, and made even more clear by Obamas one and only, last minute appeal.
Even Obama can't really bring himself to endorse Biden, except to oust Trump.
