Somehow that was honest? It is tweet from Rand Paul from a year ago that resurfaced after the shooting. Someone retweeted it to make Ran Paul look hypocritical for praising the Capitol Police. This remark by Judge Nap is being taken totally out of context and being applied to something it was not intended to address. It's a dishonest use of the man's words.

Somehow that was honest? I am not making out to look like something it was not, I am asking if it is possible for someone to read that tweet and get the idea it is ok to shoot members of the government. Just like some say it is possible for someone to watch Julius Ceasar and take the play out of context and think it is ok to kill members of the government. but once again since the first one was said by someone on the "right", there seems to be no possible way for it to be taken wrong. Which is typical for this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Napoliano's past comment like this is just manipulative & dishonest in order to try to shift the blame. It is dishonest like lying to do so. He was not advocating assassination of officials and you know it. The current edition of Julius Caesar does not advocate assassination of officials, yet you and almost every other far right person on this board has had no issues putting part of the blame on them. But just so you know, I do not loathe anyone, but I do loathe partisanship and those that cannot see the beam in their own eye because they are too busy looking at the "other side".

Not everyone who comes down on one side or other of any particular issue thinks exactly alike. As I stated on the other thread, my objection to the Julius Caesar play is that I believe NO president (whether I agree with him or not) should be depicted that way. I compared it to pornography - and I stated that plays (or books or movies or whatever) like this with Trump as the target is no more than a form of pornography to his critics. It appeals to their basest natures. The play (like the 2013 ARTICLE by Judge Napolitano) did not cause someone to do evil - evil causes people to do evil. I see no inconsistency here.
