This made me laugh out loud. Classic liberal double standard. Well, I'm on the conservative side and I've never had a hard time separating the news side and the opinion side on Fox News. Shall we call it a draw and all you liberals stop throwing out your "Faux News" slurs?

Wow, "all you liberals?" Seriously? Comments on obviously slanted left and right news sources warrant that? Asking others not to throw out slurs while being insulting?

Well, if it's tit for tat: STFU and DIAF.

I guess I could say "classic conservative comeback," but that doesn't add anymore to the conversation than "clasic liberal double standard." It's so much easier to dismiss the opinions of others when you can just shrug them off as "classic liberal" or "classic conservative" jerks of the knee.

The law has long considered it permissible and appropriate to aggravate the penalty or seriousness of a crime based the offender's intent/motivation: assault with intent to kill, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, crimes committed for pecuniary gain, crimes committed for the purpose of impeding law enforcement . . . .
