I guess there's a reason I come to message boards to talk sports and not politics. Are you saying in your last 3 sentences there that Democrats are the ones who have been calling for violence? Are you an avid Infowars fan? Not a nut. A terrorist. I wish our country would stop calling acts like this that of terrorists when it's someone of brown skin, but someone with "mental problems" when they have white skin. Maxine Waters (literally a crazy person who shouldn't be reelected) said some stupid crap about confronting Trump officials (she didn't mention violence) and the right has used that line to generalize that the whole democratic party is now some kind of unhinged mob. I thought Democratic leaders besides just verbally condemning her should've asked for her resignation. You're right about whoever did this being a domestic terrorist.

That's I assume what Boyst and some others are referring to... statements of protest like "get in their faces" by democratic elected officials. Some have even pointed to Eric Holder's statement of "When they go low, kick them" as a statement to incite violence when it's obviously metaphorical and obviously a response to Michelle Obama's statement. Trump has just directly and bluntly called for violence. Maybe he thought he was being funny and people wouldn't take him seriously, but there's no 2 ways to interpret a statement like "if you do (hurt him), I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it" or "knock the crap out of him, would you? I promise you, I will pay your legal fees" or "I'll beat the crap out of you" or "I'd like to punch him in the face" or... Our president is just a bully.

Violence from the left is perfectly acceptable. How much Facebook (and OTW) outrage did you see when Sen Collins was getting death threats and suspicious packages? Trump is condemning today's acts while the left is in full campaign attack mode (as usual).

You're right, Trump is ultimately the symptom of an escalation of the political climate that coincided with Obama's election and the advent of the Smartphone and mass use of Social Media. Once Obama, our 1st African-American President was elected and in his first 2 years fulfilled one of the primary promises he was elected on, the fear mongering of the far right came out in droves, disguising overtly racist comments and unprecedented-throughout-American-history actions as "unintentional" or "just politics." It came largely in the form of the "grass-roots" tea party movement, something Ted Cruz was a big part of. So you're right, Trump is the symptom. Actually, more accurately, he's a secondary infection the way pneumonia is for elderly people after a bout of the flu.

I didn't see that in the news. I knew Ford, Kavanaugh, and Collins were getting death threats. The right's slogan is "jobs not mobs" so I would argue both sides are using the nutjobs on the other side to advance their political agenda.

Couldn’t keep their conspiracy theories in PPP, so they try to ruin another chat area. Hopefully the mods will move this to their play area. Just ignore the obvious suspects; Trump supporters who have been egged on by Trump’s rhetoric, and like Kavanaugh supporters, blame the victims. Trump is still holding a hate rally tonight. We can expect the following: “You should not send explosives to Crooked Hillary, the obstructionist Democrats, or the fake news CNN, who hate all of you and want to take me away from you. There’s no place for violence against those enemies of the state who want to let the caravan criminals take our country.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't report it - it doesn't happen. How about he stops bragging about himself and insulting the Democrats and fellow Republicans who speak out against him at every rally he goes to and devotes himself 100% to mending this tear he himself perpetuates? I think that's a fair request. 21 minutes ago, Captain Caveman said: So then when a muslim nutjob tried to bomb Manhattan a few years back it didn't matter that he was a Muslim?

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) In recent weeks, Trump has taken to referring to Democrats as “the mob,” in part for how they handled Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination. “Those engaged in the political arena must stop treating political opponents as being morally defective,” Trump said Wednesday evening. “No one should carelessly compare political opponents to historical villains, which is done often. It’s done all the time. It’s got to stop. We should not mob people in public spaces or destroy public property.” "Goofy Pocahontas aka Elizabeth Warren", "Crooked Hillary", Dumb "Little Marco", Dumb, "Lyin' Ted", "Low Energy Jeb", "Crazy Bernie" The Red Hen is a restaurant in New Jersey was getting harassed because Sarah Sanders was "harassed" in a restaurant in a different state with the same name I hope someone burns it down" or "I'll make sure you lose your business." Lets not pretend it is only happening on one side. It’s got to stop. I have a suggestion Mr President and members of Congress - Outlaw HATEFUL and False accusations in political ads.

A nutjob is a nutjob. Muslim, Jewish, Catholic or Miley Cyrus... Doesn't matter if they're all batshit crazy. To indict an entire sect based on the activities of a few is outrageous. There are enough good people in this world of all walks of life that casting aspersions on entire cultures is, as I said outrageous.
