You know who has a big share in the responsibility for the uptick in Bullying.

[WCGreen]

Talk radio and Fox News.

The solution to everything with these people is to shout down the opposition, dehumanize the opponent and never ever give an inch.

Those photo of the House republican staff members down in Florida shout and disrupting the vote count set a great example to the kids in this country.

If you don't like something, shout them down, intimidate and dehumanize at all cost.

Thanks you Rush and Hannity and O'Reilly for offering such a great role model for our the kids...

1. And I'm sure they're proud of it - really, that's how they think. nt

2. Is there, in fact, an 'uptick' in bullying?

Or is it a myth like the 'uptick' in violent crime, or the 'uptick' in child abductions?

3. Maybe you are correct, I don't know. But I do know that if you are in fact...

correct, it isn't from a lack of effort on their part.

4. remember how the right wing was all "how will we explain this to the kids" about Clinton's affair

They seem to have forgotten those kinds of concerns when it comes to their own behavior.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Absolutely right.

This is what people do who have no good ideas, and they don't even care that they don't...

Idiots.

6. I've always said that today's bullies = tomorrow's republicans.

Really - the GOP has a mentality that is no different from that of your average school bully. The only difference is that we don't get shoved into lockers.

7. are kids really paying attention to current events? (nt)

[WCGreen]

9. No but they set a tone...

8. BACHMANN is a leader in this

remember when she told the tea bags to go into the halls of congress and get in the face of the representatives. What's that if not bullying.

10. Republican party too. They use the tools of psychopaths to keep their followers in order (didn't

work since the tea partiers escaped). And psychopaths encourage people to attack victims.
