It sickens me that we are to a point where it matters to some (most maybe) the party affiliation of the person attacked or the party affiliation of the property owner before we decide to care about it, denounce it, or excuse it.

I cannot believe what happened in PA and I cannot believe that people aren't standing together to get this to stop.

MAGA don’t care, and the extreme left has a litmus test to chose its darlings. 

I brought up the PA incident, and about four commenters decided to reply not talk about the incident, but instead to attack me for noting it was quite silent here about that.

There is bias on this forum. How is that verifiable? Just look at all the comments about the Shapiro attack, and back on Oct 8 - 10, 2023. Eerily quiet.

You're being attacked for making stupid comments where you seem to think that anyone who isn't focused on what you're focused upon, is anti-Semitic.  I opine on controversial or heated topics.  There's nothing controversial about the Shapiro crime.  

Still waiting for you to opine on Putin killing civilians.  Oh yeah, you thought that war is justified and that it's America's fault.  My bad.  

I brought up no one mentioned the Shapiro attack, for some reason you and four others feel the need to attack for that, but not the ones who post news stories endlessly on here. Go figure. Obviously that touched a nerve. But not the ones who always post one sided news articles..There’s nothing controversial or heated about the governors mansion attack? Wow.


 But if youre are looking for truly “stupid comments,” I’m here to help, here you go… https://community.pearljam.com/profile/comments/mrussel1

Not sure why you need to denigrate like trump. But I am happy to accommodate if you want to enhance the cesspool functionality  here.

Oh sick burn dude.  

The nerve you touched is calling/implying people who don't post stories you want Anti-Semitic.  I'll attack you for that every day of the week for such nonsense.  

And no, there's nothing controversial about torching the gov mansion.  I think I can safely speak for myself and my friends here and say "we're against it".  If you want to take the pro-arson view, I'm happy to have that debate.  

Quit playing the victim.  You want to discuss a story, then post it and posit something interesting to discuss.  No one is obligated to post the stories you want to see.  

I’m sure I can find ten ridiculous stories that were posted over the weekend, but zero about the Shapiro attack, but it’s that attack that raises to your “ controversy” litmus test. But why waste time pointing out what you are trying to defend and your absolute misunderstanding of my comment you decided to attack. I can say people are biased without leveling the attack you are claiming.


You can ‘safely speak ‘ for commenters here with zero evidence, but you will manipulate my words to change meaning to fit your narrative. That’s bias. I can say your comments are biased, but that does not mean I am calling you an anti semite. FFS, read and be better, especially when you choose to attack. That’s what we want from trump, so why not expect it from the left.

i said there was bias about who the extreme left wants to champion, and are extremely quiet when the most attacked people get hit again. It happened in 2023. And this weekend. On AMT. That is not the attack you are claiming, its point out fact and action. (I can spell out when certain commenters potentially cross the A/S line, could even start a topic on it, but why bother.)

What I said was “ extreme left has a litmus test to chose its darlings….There is bias on this forum. Eerily quiet.”

Fine, the "extreme left" is x, y, and z.  I'm not arguing that.  I'm not extreme left. You can call them what you want.  

Second, I am biased.  We're all biased.  You're biased. It's a person's natural state to have an opinion with which they agree.  I didn't realize we were supposed to be NPR or Reuters around here.   

I’m not talking about run of the mill bias, but folks who love to post numerous stories each day, and then the Shapiro attack was crickets. And, a big and, I got attacked by at least four posters for mentioning that fact. They need to fight to defend their safe spaces.

and the post after yours, who probably can’t be too bothered to read all the posts, calls it weird with minimal info. Whatever bud. 

What are there, 2 posters that spam the board with "news" stories? Maybe directly ask them why it wasn't posted instead of lumping everyone together. There's so much crazy shit happening in the world, and just in the US alone, that it's impossible to keep up.

I also didn't see any "attacks" against you. I challenged your assessment and disagreed with it, was that an attack too? A rebuttal and push back aren't attacks. Name calling and insults would be though.

Didn’t you say  “nice maga talking points” and l “berate everyone.” Yes, those are two attacks in one comment. And right below this afternoons comment of yours, I am “Crying the loudest” from my fave buddy Hal.

So…do we argue now about the meaning of the word berate?  And it’s not just the “2 posters spamming “ of news articles. There was zero discussion of what turned out  to be a fairly big news story and an ugly attack. How often does a governor get a violent attack like that. I guarantee you, if Shapiro were Black or Muslim or C….

It’s definitely weird how much you care about what is posted and discussed. Do it yourself. 

It’s definitely weird to receive attacking comments when pointing out Shapiro gets violently attacked and an active political forum is completely silent. 

Even when it’s pointed out, it’s definitely weird to attack the commenter and to still not acknowledge the hatred this group of people gets from the left, the supposed party of peace. you decided to engage me in personal attacks on  that point, when what I did was speak truth. i didn’t engage you.

While you could’ve shared the news, instead you made the news story that the Pearl Jam forum didn’t share the news that you felt should be represented, and insinuated that this was some sort of nefarious suppression due to anti-Semitism. What kind of responses were you anticipating?

Yeah, I was critical of how you chose to address it and made a comparison. That's not an attack, it's criticism.

Berate is a verb that's pretty self-explanatory. Again, not an attack, it's an opinion about how something is being addressed based on what I'm reading in responses.

Remember my experience on here is much different because there is a need to point out uncomfortable truths. My original comment, copied below, is much softer than the replies I’ve been getting on the topic. Almost no one has engaged about Shapiro, which was my challenge to begin with. My original complaint was against some bias and I think the answers bear that out. It’s just an opinion. But man it was far loaded than I could have imagined.

i see liberals as choosing sides based on bias. If a Hamas or dei supporter were involved in that attack, the comments on this page would be massively different. Bill Maher is 100% accurate in his criticisms of the far left and this forum bears that out. Pointing liberalism in the right direction is worth fighting for. I should be able to do that without anything personal being mentioned (that’s a general comment). One commenter has engaged me in three different discussions on the Shapiro attack , but not once to chat about the topic. And I am the one to get mocked a month ago for trying to get this a friendlier place. It’s only friendly if you want to engage on their terms.

..original Shapiro comment in different thread…

Shapiro gets attacked while sleeping in the governors mansion by a maga crazy, as best I see, not even a mention on AMT (no search results provided with his name). Not only does he have the maga crazies after him, he’s got those mid east extremists.

the man who should be the democratic darling for next president, and by far their best speaker since Obama, likely has close to zero chance.

why? It’s a one word answer. Begins with a b. Hint, he is the wrong religion. But let’s cry for DEI.

As an observer and not a participant...I have to say that I don't see the "attacking" going on that you claim to be subjected to.

Maybe I'm missing it but it just seems like the attacking doesn't exist?

News update: Bernie Sanders is Jewish. It’s obvious you’ve made a conclusion about the left and anti-semitism, and you’re trying to force the issue in here hoping you get confirmation for the conclusion.

weekend traffic is minimal at best here.  and first out of the gate on mo day is your astonishment that no one is talking about it. perhaps , like me, it wasnt known to them. my tv skips news channels. the algorithms do what they do.

weather is breaking, I expect folks were enjoying that, yard clean up , etc. The Masters were on.

I might be mistaken, but you came in hot on this , with incredulity that no one was talking about it. no?. did you even ask if anyone had heard about it?

so far, what seems clear is dude didnt like democrats. according to the reuters article I eventually read. remains to be seen if antisemitism played a role. again according to the reuters article. Shapiro is deferring to investigators before publically making such a claim. 

seems to be a mark of our times , the increase of politically motivated violence or attempts at such. I expect more of the same, with increased frequency and severity. feels like extremist gop welcome this. would play into the authoritarian vision.

glad that state trooper caught it when he did or all this could have been a different conversation.

I brought up no one mentioned the Shapiro attack, for some reason you and four others feel the need to attack for that, but not the ones who post news stories endlessly on here. Go figure. Obviously that touched a nerve. But not the ones who always post one sided news articles..There’s nothing controversial or heated about the governors mansion attack? Wow.


 But if youre are looking for truly “stupid comments,” I’m here to help, here you go… https://community.pearljam.com/profile/comments/mrussel1

Not sure why you need to denigrate like trump. But I am happy to accommodate if you want to enhance the cesspool functionality  here.

Oh sick burn dude.  

The nerve you touched is calling/implying people who don't post stories you want Anti-Semitic.  I'll attack you for that every day of the week for such nonsense.  

And no, there's nothing controversial about torching the gov mansion.  I think I can safely speak for myself and my friends here and say "we're against it".  If you want to take the pro-arson view, I'm happy to have that debate.  

Quit playing the victim.  You want to discuss a story, then post it and posit something interesting to discuss.  No one is obligated to post the stories you want to see.  

I’m sure I can find ten ridiculous stories that were posted over the weekend, but zero about the Shapiro attack, but it’s that attack that raises to your “ controversy” litmus test. But why waste time pointing out what you are trying to defend and your absolute misunderstanding of my comment you decided to attack. I can say people are biased without leveling the attack you are claiming.


You can ‘safely speak ‘ for commenters here with zero evidence, but you will manipulate my words to change meaning to fit your narrative. That’s bias. I can say your comments are biased, but that does not mean I am calling you an anti semite. FFS, read and be better, especially when you choose to attack. That’s what we want from trump, so why not expect it from the left.

i said there was bias about who the extreme left wants to champion, and are extremely quiet when the most attacked people get hit again. It happened in 2023. And this weekend. On AMT. That is not the attack you are claiming, its point out fact and action. (I can spell out when certain commenters potentially cross the A/S line, could even start a topic on it, but why bother.)

What I said was “ extreme left has a litmus test to chose its darlings….There is bias on this forum. Eerily quiet.”

Fine, the "extreme left" is x, y, and z.  I'm not arguing that.  I'm not extreme left. You can call them what you want.  

Second, I am biased.  We're all biased.  You're biased. It's a person's natural state to have an opinion with which they agree.  I didn't realize we were supposed to be NPR or Reuters around here.   

I’m not talking about run of the mill bias, but folks who love to post numerous stories each day, and then the Shapiro attack was crickets. And, a big and, I got attacked by at least four posters for mentioning that fact. They need to fight to defend their safe spaces.

and the post after yours, who probably can’t be too bothered to read all the posts, calls it weird with minimal info. Whatever bud. 

What are there, 2 posters that spam the board with "news" stories? Maybe directly ask them why it wasn't posted instead of lumping everyone together. There's so much crazy shit happening in the world, and just in the US alone, that it's impossible to keep up.

I also didn't see any "attacks" against you. I challenged your assessment and disagreed with it, was that an attack too? A rebuttal and push back aren't attacks. Name calling and insults would be though.

Didn’t you say  “nice maga talking points” and l “berate everyone.” Yes, those are two attacks in one comment. And right below this afternoons comment of yours, I am “Crying the loudest” from my fave buddy Hal.

So…do we argue now about the meaning of the word berate?  And it’s not just the “2 posters spamming “ of news articles. There was zero discussion of what turned out  to be a fairly big news story and an ugly attack. How often does a governor get a violent attack like that. I guarantee you, if Shapiro were Black or Muslim or C….

Yeah, I was critical of how you chose to address it and made a comparison. That's not an attack, it's criticism.

Berate is a verb that's pretty self-explanatory. Again, not an attack, it's an opinion about how something is being addressed based on what I'm reading in responses.

Remember my experience on here is much different because there is a need to point out uncomfortable truths. My original comment, copied below, is much softer than the replies I’ve been getting on the topic. Almost no one has engaged about Shapiro, which was my challenge to begin with. My original complaint was against some bias and I think the answers bear that out. It’s just an opinion. But man it was far loaded than I could have imagined.

i see liberals as choosing sides based on bias. If a Hamas or dei supporter were involved in that attack, the comments on this page would be massively different. Bill Maher is 100% accurate in his criticisms of the far left and this forum bears that out. Pointing liberalism in the right direction is worth fighting for. I should be able to do that without anything personal being mentioned (that’s a general comment). One commenter has engaged me in three different discussions on the Shapiro attack , but not once to chat about the topic. And I am the one to get mocked a month ago for trying to get this a friendlier place. It’s only friendly if you want to engage on their terms.

..original Shapiro comment in different thread…

Shapiro gets attacked while sleeping in the governors mansion by a maga crazy, as best I see, not even a mention on AMT (no search results provided with his name). Not only does he have the maga crazies after him, he’s got those mid east extremists.

the man who should be the democratic darling for next president, and by far their best speaker since Obama, likely has close to zero chance.

why? It’s a one word answer. Begins with a b. Hint, he is the wrong religion. But let’s cry for DEI.

… original comment here  that I replied to…

I cannot believe what happened in PA and I cannot believe that people aren't standing together to get this to stop

News update: Bernie Sanders is Jewish. It’s obvious you’ve made a conclusion about the left and anti-semitism, and you’re trying to force the issue in here hoping you get confirmation for the conclusion. 

Is Chris Matthews Jewish?

It’s really bad to assume you know motivations. Someone else said this week I must be Jewish to such have opinions. What garbage.


is that bias? Are the Palestine supporters here Muslim? Are the blm supporters black? Why is it those accusations are never made here, and no one has the guts to answer these questions?

 Is Chris Matthews Jewish? Poor Molly Jung Fast, definitely a new age pro DEI Democrat, and self admitted Jew, got smacked down by Matthews regarding the Columbia protests and Ivy League policy in general being anti semitic, which she denied. Felt bad for her. She almost cried.


so yeah, in your opinion, Matthews must be Jewish.

of course none of the typical amt commenters will view that, but will pretend to know better.

you can't be serious with the bolded. I mean, every other post is a "wonder why?" assuming the poster is being anti-Semitic. Which, as far as I've seen, is complete BS.

yes your comments demonstrate care about humans when it’s believed some deserve preferential treatment at cost to others and also deny facts to cut down those that may disagree, even when evidence is provided.

I’m not talking about run of the mill bias, but folks who love to post numerous stories each day, and then the Shapiro attack was crickets. And, a big and, I got attacked by at least four posters for mentioning that fact. They need to fight to defend their safe spaces.

and the post after yours, who probably can’t be too bothered to read all the posts, calls it weird with minimal info. Whatever bud. 

What are there, 2 posters that spam the board with "news" stories? Maybe directly ask them why it wasn't posted instead of lumping everyone together. There's so much crazy shit happening in the world, and just in the US alone, that it's impossible to keep up.

I also didn't see any "attacks" against you. I challenged your assessment and disagreed with it, was that an attack too? A rebuttal and push back aren't attacks. Name calling and insults would be though.

Didn’t you say  “nice maga talking points” and l “berate everyone.” Yes, those are two attacks in one comment. And right below this afternoons comment of yours, I am “Crying the loudest” from my fave buddy Hal.

So…do we argue now about the meaning of the word berate?  And it’s not just the “2 posters spamming “ of news articles. There was zero discussion of what turned out  to be a fairly big news story and an ugly attack. How often does a governor get a violent attack like that. I guarantee you, if Shapiro were Black or Muslim or C….

Yeah, I was critical of how you chose to address it and made a comparison. That's not an attack, it's criticism.

Berate is a verb that's pretty self-explanatory. Again, not an attack, it's an opinion about how something is being addressed based on what I'm reading in responses.

Remember my experience on here is much different because there is a need to point out uncomfortable truths. My original comment, copied below, is much softer than the replies I’ve been getting on the topic. Almost no one has engaged about Shapiro, which was my challenge to begin with. My original complaint was against some bias and I think the answers bear that out. It’s just an opinion. But man it was far loaded than I could have imagined.

i see liberals as choosing sides based on bias. If a Hamas or dei supporter were involved in that attack, the comments on this page would be massively different. Bill Maher is 100% accurate in his criticisms of the far left and this forum bears that out. Pointing liberalism in the right direction is worth fighting for. I should be able to do that without anything personal being mentioned (that’s a general comment). One commenter has engaged me in three different discussions on the Shapiro attack , but not once to chat about the topic. And I am the one to get mocked a month ago for trying to get this a friendlier place. It’s only friendly if you want to engage on their terms.

..original Shapiro comment in different thread…

Shapiro gets attacked while sleeping in the governors mansion by a maga crazy, as best I see, not even a mention on AMT (no search results provided with his name). Not only does he have the maga crazies after him, he’s got those mid east extremists.

the man who should be the democratic darling for next president, and by far their best speaker since Obama, likely has close to zero chance.

why? It’s a one word answer. Begins with a b. Hint, he is the wrong religion. But let’s cry for DEI.

… original comment here  that I replied to…

I cannot believe what happened in PA and I cannot believe that people aren't standing together to get this to stop

News update: Bernie Sanders is Jewish. It’s obvious you’ve made a conclusion about the left and anti-semitism, and you’re trying to force the issue in here hoping you get confirmation for the conclusion. 

Is Chris Matthews Jewish?

It’s really bad to assume you know motivations. Someone else said this week I must be Jewish to such have opinions. What garbage.


is that bias? Are the Palestine supporters here Muslim? Are the blm supporters black? Why is it those accusations are never made here, and no one has the guts to answer these questions?

 Is Chris Matthews Jewish? Poor Molly Jung Fast, definitely a new age pro DEI Democrat, and self admitted Jew, got smacked down by Matthews regarding the Columbia protests and Ivy League policy in general being anti semitic, which she denied. Felt bad for her. She almost cried.


so yeah, in your opinion, Matthews must be Jewish.

of course none of the typical amt commenters will view that, but will pretend to know better. 

You don’t seem to be tracking very well. You just said Shapiro has no support because the left is anti-semitic. Quote:

’likely has close to zero chance.

why? It’s a one word answer. Begins with a b. Hint, he is the wrong religion. But let’s cry for DEI.’

Yes for Shapiro , bias perceived from the electorate, and past voting patterns. Biden definitely lost some support from Jews, which translated to Harris. See how easy that was? Do you or anyone here realize how your comment was 100% wrong direction?

to explain away absolute antisemitism that the administration is trying to stop, because a “Jewish senator” believes it not to be true, is probably as bad as anything trump says. That’s as bad as when trump puts token supporters behind him at rallies.

“Chris Matthews and Bill Maher must be Jewish for speaking strongly against antisemitism.

With that logic, only Muslims can support Palestine.

only blacks can support blm.


These comments are alarming. And it’s more than one commenter on amt.
