So no, I did not 'get his point wrong'. I am saying why his attempt at cleaving 'direct' and 'indirect' (not really indirect, mind you) disrespect isnt horribly believable given the left's amazing, rich, and deep track record on the subject.

In a nutshell, the left would rather paint this form of disrespect as oh-so-horrible all the while not wanting to lump any of the disrespect they showed the last 12 years of Republican presidents as anything comparable. In fact -- -'not remotely similar'.

And, in a nutshell, the left have no problem with disrespecting an American president. They just don’t like it when you do it to a president they support.

Lad's attempt to differentiate and ignore those 12 years of disrespect, including 4 years of absolutely snide disrespect for anyone that might have even voted for Orange Man, or --- horrors -- supported any of his policies --- seems to be focusing on the individual tree in the forest.

The protestations of how disrespectful the radio guy was seems horribly hypocritical in light of that backdrop, tbh.

He *was* absolutely disrespectful. In the same vein that the general left was in the 4 years of Trump both towardsd Trump *and* anyone who might have supported him. In the same vein the left was towards 8 years of Bush.

So again, cry me a river. That is the background the left has fostered and cultivated in this regard. To ignore that aspect of the generalized state to focus on how terrible the guy was for saying that in the radio segment seems like missing the forest for a leaf on a tree.

It's amazing how conservatives on this board make the assumption that a person is ignoring something simply because they don't provide an exhaustive list of every single issue that similarly happened to another person of the opposite party.

It's a strange mental gymnastic that seems to be the move du jour when criticisms are levied towards Republican officials or conservatives in general.

Instead of "yeah, that was wrong and it has been wrong," it's "why are you ignoring that one thing someone said to Bush in 2005???"

It is amazing how the leftists on this board ignore what the conservatives actually say.

I think Tanq was just pointing out the liberal hypocrisy.

AFAIK, nobody has asked for an exhaustive list.

But, back to the topic of Biden's cluelessness...no concerns?

Yes... I was pointing out how the response from Tanq focuses on what he believes is hypocrisy as opposed to the actual issue at hand... lol

and the actual issue at hand is...?
