Would this have been an issue if the tables were reversed? What if a liberal had said something about a conservative? Would the lefties be up in arms? Doubtful. Freedom of speech for some but not all. :roll:

I've found that this convenient argument of "if the tables were turned, it would be different" is always the failsafe rebuttal for people who play partisan politics. It isn't reasonable to assume the outcome of a hypothetical idea like that.

If the tables had been reversed? No it wouldn't be any different. Liberals should be smart enough to see that you have two individuals who love to get right down in the gutter and talk BS. Proving once again the extremes are full of gutter snipes and knuckle - draggers.
