Absolute nonsense. That is as ridiculous as saying some people can’t be racist.

Still ridiculous. Aside from using black shirt tactics, they are being bullies.

Black shirts
 
So @LeafByNiggle , you obviously don’t see this a bullying
In an interview with Breitbart News Saturday, Maine Republican Chairwoman Demi Kouzounas told host Matthew Boyle that Collins and her staff had been physically threatened, sent vulgar messages, and had bizarre things sent to them in the mail.

“The vulgarity is unbelievable … things like ‘I hope you’re raped. I hope that you’re stuck with an unborn baby from a rapist,’ … I mean who says these things? And where is the respect?” she said.

My personal opinion is yes, we want the best to serve on the Supreme Court but maybe from now on in the future, look at other candidates, not Yale, not the Ivy League Schools. Okay, Amy Coney Barret is okay for wherever she is from but we need to get more different backgrounds on the court in my humble opinion. Amy, some Notre Dame if I remember correctly, so that’s something.

The ABA is known to be very liberal,

Group That Rates Trump's Judicial Nominees Has History of Liberal Advocacy

"The ABA cannot take blatantly liberal positions on the one hand and then masquerade as a neutral party on the other," says Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb.

And lawyers in general, and particularly trial lawyers, overwhelmingly support the Democrat party.

I do see that as bullying, but I do not see that as something you can pin on Democrats as a group, any more than you can pin the Charlottesville violence by neo nazis on Trump.

But if you really want to see bullying, just look at what is happening to Christine Blasey Ford and her family right now. She is unable to go back to her home.

No, it is not like that. To be racist, you do not have to have power over the targets of your racism. But to be a bully you do. It’s in the definition.

You are ignoring the definition by repeating this claim.

You are obviously intending to imply some characteristic of the black shirts of Mussolini, but I don’t know which one. In any case, your use of that label would only be metaphorical and not real.

Are you quoting the Daily Signal as an authority? If you are claiming this is “general knowledge” then you should have a more general set of citations than that one.
 
The Charlottesville marchers were just marching, they weren’t threatening elected officials. Cops that kept the two groups separated would have prevented the whole affair.

One could argue they would not have even been marching if Trump had not encouraged their cause. But if you want to see bullying, look at what is happening to Christine Blasey Ford and her family right now.

Nope, I’m pretty sure they were marching about a statute being taken down, nothing to do with Trump.

Working as a mob, intimidating? They certainly can

And you are ignoring the obvious intimidation that takes place in a situation like this.

Tactics. It is a continuation of the tactics we’ve seen since the election from the left. They weren’t wearing the Antifa black shirts and hoods, but the intimidation tactics are clearly there.

The people being bullied did not know if a physical assault or battery was next.

So, you cringe but cannot go further … you know that.

When you instruct your base to ‘harass’ conservatives, anyone not a moron would expect a wide ranging response. Maxine is culpable.

I’m sorry for Ford’s situation. I wish Diane had turned this over to the FBI immediately for investigation, and then Ford could have given her testimony quietly many weeks ago.

Though I must remind you that Ford also reached out to the Washington Post on many occasions, she has some culpability in publicising her name in the media.
