Reply to comment by yeyakattack in Rep. Clinton Collamore (D) indicted for signature fraud by yeyakattack

I should hope I don't have to correct someone's fear mongering in that thread, but hey we'll see.

What’s there to correct? He committed fraud and he is a democrat. That’s not fear mongering, that’s just an inconvenient truth (for you)

The fear mongering is you trying to pitch this as Democrats trying to sweep it under the rug, while the truth is even his own party is calling on him to resign or be ousted.

I don't need to be a bleeding heart liberal to point out the false equivalency and bad faith argument you're trying to push.

That’s a strawman argument. I never said the Democratic lawmakers are trying to sweep this under the rug. Nice try.

I’m saying the heavily Democratic leaning BDN is trying to sweep this under the rug by not putting this on the front page where it belongs. That’s not fear mongering, that’s just a fact. Maybe step outside of your echo chamber every now and then.

BINGO! I have conservative bingo!

You're trying to push a narrative that Republicans are held to higher levels of scrutiny, and you're trying to use a newspaper from a different part of the state not putting Waldoboro on its front page as an example of that double standard.

Maybe pull your head out of your ass every now and then.

Last time I checked Representatives pass laws that’s effect the whole state. I guess I’m wrong, maybe someone should tell the Portland Press Herald so they stop talking about Representatives from Waldoboro. Maybe take a page from the Democrat Speaker and condemn the fraud in your party instead whatever it is you are trying to accomplish.

The only thing I'm trying (and succeeding) to do is call you out for blatant bullshittery. Portland's a helluva lot closer to Waldoboro than Bangor.

Maybe take a page from any book and learn some reading comprehension. Something like "Everybody poops" since you feel the need to expel diarrhea from your mouth.

Very mature response. Please let me know what the made up radius is for news papers. I would love to understand the logic on why Portland to Waldoboro is ok but Bangor to Waldoboro isn’t. So how many miles does it need to be for it to be ok? You don’t even make sense.

Is the Press Herald heavily Republican leaning then? Because it's on the homepage there.

Obviously not, do you see how they wrote the headline? They spin this into a hero moment for the Democrat Speaker of the House. Just read the article. The bias is obvious. The Portland Press probably sees this as good press for the Speaker, whose from Portland.

You’ll argue it from hell and back because you can’t admit you’re wrong. It’s your ego flapping it’s lips right now. “I’m right, no matter what!”

And he is a male. And he is (apparently) a fisherman. And he is caucasian.

None of them are linked to his fraudulent behavior. That is the only thing that matters. If he's guilty, persecute and prosecute. Dragging his choice of political affiliations into it is, quite frankly, small. I dare say most registered Dem voters have no interaction with ANY Dem politicians. Likewise with Republicans. Creating a relationship where none exists is one of the big reasons our country is such at odds today.
