It does happen. Ocassionally. Score one for the home team.

When I serve on juries, I'm not looking for tit for tat. I try to be a true arbitrator. But when one does go our way, because so many of them do not that should, I am truly delighted.

Not even taking into account how questionable it is to blame Hillary Clinton personally for these events that aren't fully explained clear right now, surely language like this is over the top.

(The exception is when I read on my iPhone, as I do that on the bus, and trying to type while riding a bumpy road is not a good combination.)

I have voted to hide HRC supporters when I think they stepped over a line. For example, I voted to hide a video that was being posted around that was part of a conspiracy video against PBO, which had a segment on BS. The segment took actually facts, like his support for Castro and the Sandinistas and his trip to the USSR, and combined it with connections worthy of six degrees of Kevin Bacon to smear BS. The poster didn't indicate that this was posted to show how the GOP would do the same in the GE, so one couldn't know - from the post itself - whether the poster was seriously pushing CTs. So I voted to hide. We don't need to sink to their level, and if we do by accident, we rectify the situation. That is the major difference between the two sides.

I mean, it's not like BS has apologized for all the awful he has done, like vote for the Crime Bill, claim HRC is unqualified, or even accused her of being bought and paid for. Clearly our candidate is superior, though not infallible.
