Imagine the horror of people discussing politics at a poltical convention/rally/whatever the fuck you call CPAC.
Come on BJ, you're not that ignorant. You realize some/many of the things these people were saying/preaching were literally insane. Right? They weren't only discussing politics either.
Therefore, to me and others - it was indeed "horrific".

P.S. Based on your post my guess is you don't know what CPAC stands for. It's Conservative Political Action CONFERENCE.

I don't harbor some sort of "you can only complain about something if you have never done something that someone else might complain about" notion as that is ignorant and childish so I think I'll just keep right on complaining about the disgusting actions, events, policies, statements and comments made by members of the GOP and their supporters.

That CPAC conference wasn't limited to just a bunch of random citizens sitting around discussing the state of politics in America. It was a major political event held by the Republican Party and many Republican Party politicians participated. If you don't understand the difference then you're truly stuck in Bothsiderism hell and cannot figure out how to shut that off in your own brain.
he’s not smart enough to understand the difference

hence, why this same general point continues to get made
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

I even provided him the definition (after he bashed someone else for not knowing the definition, of course):

"False balance, also bothsidesism, is a media bias in which journalists present an issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence supports."

Comparing a handful of people posting on a message board to CPAC and the underlying GOP Party Platform is unfortunately just another in a long line of examples of Illy presenting "an issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence supports".

Yes. They were preaching craziness to entertain the crazies.

I thought CPAC stood for Crazy Political Assholes Cabaret.

Discussing stupid things that Republicans say or do isn't an attempt to try to "own the pubs". It's participating in a message board forum where people discuss various events, people and activities. It's kinda the point of this place.

We get your whole drive to call out liberal hypocrisy and fake self righteousness. You have stated that is a thing for you multiple times. I just wish you were better at successfully identifying it at a higher accuracy rate because you're batting below the Mendoza line.

Chance's are she told Alex, "you know that sneezy old fuck Roger? You should send him a neked photo of me, that would be a nice gesture. Who knows, maybe he would raise money from the rubes to pay off your lawsuits." They really are all about "Christian National values".

Sandy Hook lawyer Mark Bankston said on Monday that Alex Jones sent an "intimate photo" of his wife to political consultant and Trump ally Roger Stone.

In an interview on Monday with the The Young Turks, Bankston said that the copy of the phone records his legal team received contained a nude image of Erika Wulff Jones.

Jones has separately described the photo as a nude image.

Bankston was the attorney who confronted Jones on the stand in the Sandy Hook defamation damages trial and told Jones that his legal team had mistakenly sent the opposing counsel all his phone records from the last two years.

"I normally wouldn't talk about that in public, but there is a public interest angle into this. I'm a little concerned about it because that intimate photo was sent to Roger Stone, and I don't know if that was consensual," Bankston told the TYT Network.

"And if it wasn't consensual, Mrs. Wulff Jones should know about that. And there might be something that needs to be done about that," Bankston said.

"Then again, it could be totally consensual. But when I see that — and I don't see any indication that it was — I'm concerned something might not be on the up and up with that. There are, certainly, laws in certain states about that," Bankston added.

I wonder if it happened around Christmas of last year, right before his wife was arrested on domestic violence charges?

We live in a country where Marjorie Taylor Greene and Loren Boebert are cult figures for.... Being idiot politicians.
I have a bad feeling we may be adding Herschel to that list.
