Anyone chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” or “F**K Joe Biden” is vulgar according to the leftist scolds at The Washington Post and elsewhere.
And that’s mild compared to the sentiments some people — largely in conservative areas — are expressing in their front yards and on the signs they lug with them to greet Biden as he travels the country.
On Wednesday, when the president visited Scranton, Pa., he was greeted at the corner of Biden Street by a woman holding a handmade “F— Joe Biden” sign, with an American flag as the vowel in the offending word. And back in Boise, Rod Johnson, a retired gunsmith, has hung a blue flag from the roof of his home that reads “F— Biden.” Underneath, in smaller letters, he added, “And f— you for voting for him!!”
The WaPo goes on to try an earnestly assure us that we elected Biden because he was going to be boring, and that this vulgarity is purely President Donald Trump’s fault. Oh sure, they say, people are a wee bit concerned about the economy, inflation, and immigration. But the vulgar chants and name calling aren’t because of that. Oh no, not one bit.
The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread.
It is? Republicans certainly weren’t the ones gleefully videoing themselves holding up a bleeding severed head of Trump, were they Kathy Griffin? Republicans weren’t the ones who shot up a Congressional baseball practice and nearly killed Congressman Steve Scalise? Nope, that was a Bernie Sanders supporter. What about Senator Rand Paul? It wasn’t a vulgar Republican who attacked him, broke ribs, and punctured a lung now was it?
Oh wait, Republicans aren’t just vulgar because of “Let’s Go Brandon” chants, we are THUGS for daring to speak so scathingly and yes, use profanity to express our displeasure with Grandpa Joe and this Administration.
And in many cases, those conservative elites actively work to create and encourage thuggery. They create a phony “issue” such as critical race theory, work to get people as enraged as possible, then when that rage erupts in threats and intimidation of school personnel and board members, they defend it and celebrate its potential to yield them political benefits.
*Sigh, here we go again. The leftist media is working hard to gaslight us into believing we are engaged in wrong-think and there are no issues in our schools. There are. We know it, and so do they.
That was, after all, the heart of Trump’s appeal: He told Republicans that being polite was for suckers and losers, liberating them to let their worst selves come out loud and proud. Every bigot, bully, sexual harasser and lunkheaded goon seemed to gravitate to his cause, recognizing a kindred spirit.
And while there are still polite and courtly Republican officeholders out there, everyone knows where the party’s heart is today. If you want to express your kinship with Republican voters, you insult the weak, you defend the indefensible, you celebrate violence, you give offense for its own sake.
Golly, the left sure doesn’t like having their tactics turned back on them do they? Who were the vulgar and abusive ones during the Kavanaugh hearings? It for damned sure wasn’t the Republicans.
How about going back a few years prior? It wasn’t Republicans who started calling people tea baggers, and devoting entire on-air segments to it. Nope, it was the leftist media.
You see, because the left was saying that, it’s totally fine. The left is also totally fine with screeching harpies disrupting hearings and sitting Senators quizzing Brett Kavanaugh over baseless accusations. None of that was vulgar you see.
But THIS is vulgar according to the left.

The protestors outside the child care center today had a giant “F—k Joe Biden” sign and were chanting the same thing loud enough to make sure all the children could hear it.

Just heartbreaking for kids to see how crude and uncivil some of our discourse has become.
Chris Murphy is so worried about crude and uncivil people that he issued a statement condemning those vulgar protestors who followed Senator Krysten Sinema into the bathroom…right? Uh huh, you’d be wrong about that.
Meanwhile, in their rush to judgement, the authors of the WaPo article whining about how vulgar “Let’s Go Brandon” and “F**k Joe Biden” chants are, they had to issue a correction.
This is the greatest correction in the history of journalism!

You know you’re over the target when the left madly clutches pearls and scolds Republicans for being vulgar thugs.
Yes, I laughed big time at this.
Here’s the deal for all the leftists out there. There are a lot of people who don’t like what the Biden Administration is doing to this country. In ten months we now have sky high gas prices, inflation driving everything up, a supply-chain issue that won’t get solved any time soon because Petey boy is on paternity leave, economy killing taxes are being proposed right and left, and our foreign policy is an unmitigated disaster.
Guess what you scolds? NONE of that dissatisfaction has to do with Trump. It has everything to do with the pudding head in the White House.
You can shake your fingers and lecture all you want, but look in the mirror. The “Let’s Go Brandon” and “F**k Joe Biden” chants are about this Administration’s failures and about you. Deal with it.

rbj1 says: But pr0n in school libraries is just fine.
John C. says: I remember the respectful way the way the Democrats referred to our 43rd President, Chimpy McBushitler.
James D says: And the class and decorum they showed in their treatment of Sarah Palin.
Cameron says: As I observed elsewhere, those of us on the right have only one role: Victims. We are to shut up when subjected to verbal and physical abuse. The very instant one of us punches back against these little Epsilons, everyone else on the right is expected to gasp “Well, I never!’ and coo at the left to reassure them that they are the good ones.
Trump was the first President in a long time to point that out and to punch back. It didn’t “liberate our worst selves”; he simply showed us that these mewling little wank stains don’t have the power that they claim they do.
Lance says: I understand the sentiment, but when we resort to the same types of lowered discourse used by the Left, we soil ourselves. President Trump was and still is a NY brawler. We need that, but we need the class with which President Reagan sliced up his opponents on the Left without stooping to their level.
Cameron says: With respect, not wanting to “soil ourselves” is not going to make the left suddenly think “Why, these conservatives are actually fine fellows and I should be more nice to them. Lovey, do contact CNN and tell them that we expect decorum from now on.”
So like any bully, they treat us like garbage and whine when we punch back. And the media is quick to castigate us. So fuck them, preferably with serrated steel. They had their chance to keep things nice after Reagan and they have made it clear that peace was never an option.
stevew says: Althouse calls this “civility bullshit”. Not sure if she coined the phrase but it fits perfectly. The Right has been guilty of it too, to a much lesser degree. What the Republicans and the Right do not do is condone and celebrate pubic violence like the riots and such we saw committed by the Left over the past 18 months.
Cameron says: And if we did, we’d be better at it than them and they know it.
Dan B says: I remember very early on, heck it might have been between Trump’s election and inauguration, when on network television Stephan Colbert referred to Trump’s mouth as Putin’s c*ck-holster. The left can pound sand. They change the rules and then whine when their opponents change to comply with the new rules.

Rob H says: Am I the only one old enough to remember “Piss Christ” that made the covers of both Newsweek and Time? So-called artist Serrano took a picture of a crucifix in a glass of urine. That wasn’t even the first. That was in 1987. Leftist hatred for conservatives has been “cool” for a long time.
