So you are saying if anybody who identifies with a political leaning commits any act of stupidity or barbarism, then it discredits every other person that identifies with that leaning, even if they had literrally nothing at all to do with any of these acts.

even 1 stupid act is too many when you claim to hold the moral high ground of tolerance and unity.
the whole point of tolerance is to remain above the stupid acts and mud slinging if you lower yourself to that level then you are no better than the people you are opposed to.

how many single acts of stupidity does it take before people start seeing a pattern and rightly or wrongly decide that the whole barrel of apples is a rotting stinking mess?

And don't tell me you've never seen an example of a right-leaner saying or doing something outragous. The difference between me and you is I don't go around documenting every occurrence in order to discredit all conservatives.

Thank god conservatives never made fun of Obamas kids because I'd hate to see the hypocrisy... oh wait.
Sounds like someone is TRIGGERED!!
I guess it just doesn't matter to you if I say that I hate it when people do stupid things like what you're complaining about, that I don't know a single person who has committed such stupidity, that I have literally nothing to do with it whatsoever. And I'm sure that goes for virtually everyone on the left as well. But if you know someone who is doing this kind of thing, tell them to knock it the hell off. And not just because it makes us look bad.

I have documented anything.
if the left wants to roll around in the mud with their opponents then they have to drop the unity and tolerance claim because they look really hypocritical when they do that.

there seems to a lot of single acts of divisiveness and intolerance lately from the left, and it`s starting to look like a pattern.

Okay, that is true as far as it goes, but it is not the entire left, or even a large part of it.

If they know about it and don't condemn it, stay quiet about it...or, worse, become defenders of those doing it...then, yes, they are part of the problem.

Odd, I don't recall seeing such things about Malia or Sasha......heck, I DO recall libs complaining when one of them was caught smoking something illegal and twerking in public. But this is somehow acceptable??? What vile, small-minded cretins, to go after a child! Showing their true colors, for all the world to see.
Surely you don't believe all acts of dvisiveness and intollerance have been coming soley from the left lately. And the pattern I am seeing, is that it is easier than ever to document these individual acts and to use them to smear an entire side.

no but the ones that are coming from the left makes all the lefts claims of tolerance and unity questionable.
it doesn`t have to be all of the left or even most of the left it only needs to be enough of the left before people, rightly or wrongly, start questioning the lefts claims of unity and tolerance.
when a liberal does something like this it sabotages the efforts of all liberals to create unity and tolerance.
