(25,719 posts)it's like if you had a dinner party with several guests and one of them just randomly started shitting on the table. yeah, that one guy is pretty much obviously to blame for the turds on the tablecloth and, unless it's a very special kind of dinner party, people are going to be pissed off at him. however, the damage has been done and, again depending on what kind of dinner party it is, the guests won't be staying for dessert.
same deal with the hearings. the RWNJs acted like such utter dips that they pretty much made their half of the proceeding unbearable. that doesn't just reflect poorly on them, even though it should. they made their ridiculous signs as ugly and stupid as they were intentionally. if they could get a vast majority of the public to tune out (mute, change the channel, or just stop paying attention) they win, because a segment of those people won't tune in again.
it's really obscene what the Republicans are pulling. they disgrace their very offices, and make themselves stronger thereby.
