newsflash...hate is being spread on both sides. It was happening before Trump and will happen after Trump. Problem for you is you will need to find a new scapegoat. What side do you think jussie smollett is on? Would that be the Trump side?
Well in this case Pirro was brought up in the context of this topic. Why deflect here rather than address that?
Oh Bulls***. This isn't a 'boff sides' matter. There's only one side throwing brown babies in cages. Only one side making up lies about caravans and terrorists and rapists to scare gullible people like you into hating Mexicans. Only one side pushing a muslim ban. Only one side who's leader has been sued for refusing to rent to black people. Only one side who defends a guy who says white supremacists are fine people. Take your pathetic trolling somewhere else.
Sorry you are correct. There was no hate prior to 2016. It's all on Trump. Good lord. Wake up.
He responded specifically about Pirro and her comment and why she would say such things. And why she gets supported or defended by such people.
Of course there was. You and your ilk voted this clown in because of your hatred for anyone who looked differently than you. Not saying Trump invented hate. He just made it fashionable again and brought the closet haters out from under their rocks.
Talk about judging someone. You have no clue why I voted for Trump. None whatsoever. You are really embarrassing yourself. Lucky for you this is a liberal echo chamber. You already have the minions out in full force.
What are your thoughts on Pirro's statements about Omar? And Trump's statement that White Supremacists are fine people? Answer those two questions and I'll let you know if I did, in fact, have a clue why you voted or Trump.
Take a look at this thread and board in general and tell me who is spreading the hate.
OK...I will play. Reason # 1-He was not Hillary Clinton.
One thing though...so if I don't tell you why I voted for Trump does that mean you can accuse me of being a racist?
In regards to the bolded: this was buried because of so many other stories, but it may be the single worst foreign policy move by President Trump. It’s stupid and vindictive and incredibly short-sided.
Since she will not be running in 2020, do you intend to vote for Trump again? If so what are your other reasons?
Frankly this game of gotcha is really sad. It is none of your business why I vote for someone. But it is pretty bad that you get to assume I am racist if I don't explain myself to you.
So you thought that I don't answer to you. Good thought. Go bully someone else tough guy.
Lol Pretty rough start. Backed yourself into a corner already. Hope your second 60 posts go better for you.
I have no idea who I will vote for. I wait to decide. I have voted for both parties here in Pa and nationally. I voted for Bill Clinton the first time around and Ed Rendell as well. If Trump is running against one of the far left extreme candidates he will get my vote(as it stands now). If he is running against Biden or similar then I will have to wait to decide.
Fair enough.
Excuse me, I am not playing gotcha nor am I assuming you are racist. I don’t know you and I think you must have the wrong guy.
Maybe you should read the thread you are posting in and not bring topics from another thread into another one.
Because I feel that is what you were doing. You were following a number of snarky replies from other posters with the same kind of question. It's also pretty sad that I have to prove I am not a racist to you or anyone else. There are millions of people that voted for Trump that are not racists. But it's ok to call them that now.
Love that a guy with 60 posts is telling other people how they should post. Lose this alias and go wait out your suspension. Use the time to think about becoming a better person.
It was buried because people aren't interested. The cancellation of the INF treaty was another major event that hasn't gotten much discussion. But frankly serious policy discussion is almost impossible in this administration. National emergen.... oh Michael Coooo.... Chinese sex trafficking magnate sells foreign access to Maraaaa... etc.
with Trump, which he absolutely lives for and thrives off of.
Instead of running to defend your liberal buddies why don't you read the thread? Tim inserted himself into a discussion about race. That is on this very page of posts. It's not that hard to pay attention.
I have read the thread...the context of what Tim posted and asked this morning had nothing to do with race and you have brought it in twice.
Actually I did not. Other people insinuated that you might have supported Trump for bigoted reasons. You offered up the explanation that you voted for him in order to oppose Hillary. I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and asked you a very serious follow up question. That’s all.
Definitely seems like some child who got suspended and thought it was unfair so he created an alias to come back and say 'if you want to suspend me, I'll show you punishable behavior". Keep fighting the good fight buddy. You don't seem bitter at all.
I don't think either of these contentions about the potential for the cynical use of Omar/Tlaib/AOC are incorrect, but it doesn't change the actual charges of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, both of which seem to arise from that certain segment of the campus left that Omar, Tlaib, and AOC seem to come from.
I'm sorry, what's that now?
I think there's no denying that the campus left has been pretty strongly critical -- to the point of vehemence that borders on anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism -- of, at the very least, Israeli foreign policy.
FYP. Neither opposition to the current Israeli regime nor anti-Zionism are anti-Semitism. I am a strongly opposed to the current Israeli regime, and their recent conduct along with my personal experiences during three trips to Israel has made me question my lifelong support for Zionism. And like I said, I'm Jewish and certainly not bigoted against my own people.
You keep raising this point, but college campus rhetoric doesn’t arise out of thin air. Sure the language is often extreme, ugly, and silly, but usually the issues involved are very real and quite serious. When I was going to college in the 80s, the main issue was Apartheid in South Africa. In the 60s, Vietnam.
Constructive criticism of the current Israeli regime is not necessarily anti-Semitism, I'll surely grant you that.
Your points -- yours and Tobias's -- are both taken, but I have a hard time arguing on the side of the "injustice" that sees Hamas as its main political entity and that hides munitions factories under children's schools. The level of depravity the Palestinians display daily is frightening to a soul like mine.
And again, Hamas is pure evil- but it wasn’t created out of thin air.
I've always been a bit confused by this. How is vehement criticism of Israeli foreign policy anti-Semitic? That's like saying criticism of Obama's foreign policy is racist. Or are you saying people are opposing Israel's foreign policy because they are anti-Semitic and not because of actual opposition to the ideas or policies?
It’s funny how a 1 State solution for Israel is rightist but a 1 State solution for Palestine is leftist.
Sure. I'm saying that there can be an element of anti-Semitism when the adjective of "vehemence" is applied. Vehemence is, by quick definition, "marked by passion or strong feelings."
Everyone jumps on some poster for saying he voted for Trump because he wasn't Hilary and this barely gets touched? Says a lot about this place.
