And the great admission tour continues.. - GMDino - 12-17-2016 This guy is a hoot and a half.

Howcum we never hear about all the times Hillary called the press "scum" and talked about punching protestors as thousands of Democrats cheered? You make it seem like only one side responds to authoritarian leadership and tactics.

With the violent riots and attacks on Trump supporters that took place in CA you thought this was a smart point to make? How about the GOP electors who got death threats and were constantly harangued in an utterly futile attempt to subvert the election results? If this past election proved anything unequivocally it's that the right has no monopoly on political violence. Not even close.

Something like 27% of the electorate voted for Trump. Half that number would be 13.5%. And no, not sure that counts as authoritarian leadership; it wasn't an incitement to violence. And it referenced a large number of the Republican base who still think Obama was born in Kenya, want to ban Muslims from entering the US, deport millions of "dreamers", and build the wall.

Sure, I'll give you that. The GOP has a lock on the rhetoric of violence and the Dems have a lock on the actual physical violence. Well played, sir.

Well played, sir.You'll give me this-- http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/11/12/post-election-spate-hate-crimes-worse-than-post-911-experts-say/93681294/ What may seem like a dramatic rise in the number of hate harassment and hate incidents happening across the country in the wake of Tuesday's general election is not in anyone's imagination, experts say. There indeed has been a spike in the number of reports of such incidents, say representatives for two organizations that track such occurrences. A representative for one group, in fact, said the rise appears to be even worse that what was took place immediately after the terror attacks in 2001. "Since the election, we've seen a big uptick in incidents of vandalism, threats, intimidation spurred by the rhetoric surrounding Mr. Trump's election," Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., told USA TODAY. "The white supremacists out there are celebrating his victory and many are feeling their oats," Cohen said. "It's kind of a very tense time for the American Muslim community and people are really anxious about the future," Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for the Council on American Islamic Relations, told USA TODAY Friday. "I would call it a spike but it's too early to quantify." Hooper added, "We already had been worse based on the fact that Donald Trump had mainstreamed Islamophobia ... and this was just taking it off the charts."

Threatening Muslim women no big deal? Breaking into people's homes is not scary. Let's talk about REAL violence. Here is one of my favorite links to an actual violent incident. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/10/trump-once-said-he-would-pay-legal-fees-for-people-who-beat-up-protesters-now-that-its-happened-can-he/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.35a07a3cdc8d and another for good measure. http://time.com/4090437/donald-trump-violence-protests-republican-debate/ RE: And the great admission tour continues.. - Mike M (the other one) - 12-20-2016 (12-20-2016, 04:52 PM)Dill Wrote: What is the Democrat equivalent of crowds shouting "lock her up" and "string her up" while those on podium approvingly joined in? Didn't Bernie's group also yell "lock her up" at the Democrat rallies? Russians Did It! "You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it."

I can only assume you are having a hard time with this as you keep posting rhetoric and not actual acts of violence. You do realize the difference don't you? EDIT: I see you were able to edit and find one. The one where Trump pleaded with his supporters not to harm him. As to your opening questions simply a feeble attempt at a Straw Man; as no one said either of those were no big deal and/or scary.

You do realize the difference don't you? The phrase "JUST feeling threatened" doesn't seem dismissive to you? Trump offered to pay the legal fees of a man who punched a protestor. Was that a VIRTUAL punch? Or how are you defining "actual"? One of us may indeed not realize the difference. The second link mentions another protestor hit with a sign, another kicked, and still another punched in the face. Why do you call this "rhetoric and not actual acts of violence"? This was all over the news during the campaign. You missed it? RE: And the great admission tour continues.. - SunsetBengal - 12-20-2016 Hell, just google riots after trump victory. You'll get a ton of Leftist violence, take your pick of which act to choose from.

You fail in this thread, and many others, due to your dogged insistence that one side or the other has a monopoly on "X". Anyone with a grain of common sense knows this is hardly the case, yet you seem enamored of the idea. Fakenews? Only the right engages in that. Violent rhetoric/action? Only the right wing engages in that. You will continue to be wrong on this type of issue until you realize how blindly partisan you are. Notice the most respected posters around here; Belsnikel (sp?), Zona, Benton and others all have the ability to divorce themselves from their personal opinion and comment based on fact. Your comments suggest you have yet to acquire this skill. |
