Which Party Has the Mobs?

Good stuff! :smiley:

What an odd thing to fake. Glad to hear it, though. Thanks.

Gateway Pundit and Clash Daily??

Dude, I’m not even gonna bother. Gateway Pundit uncritically bought into the rape accusation against Bob Mueller, until the whole thing became a laughingstock. And just go to Clash Daily’s front page.

Wikipedia has a list. :slight_smile:

:rolleyes: Those “facts” are actually just silly distortions. For example, the link about Chris Cuomo quotes him as talking about the need for hatred and bigotry to be “stamped out”, and then squeals hysterically that what he wants is for “the left’s” political opponents to be stamped out. Hardly the same thing, unless “the left’s” political opponents are in fact voluntarily equating themselves with hatred and bigotry.

And that’s what you consider, or hope you can con us into considering, an example of Democrats “encouraging mob violence”? Not impressed, dude.

Cite?

The driver of the car wasn’t the only Nazi who put someone in the hospital.

He was down on the ground, and the Nazis were beating him with rods.

This was because

Yes, they were a mob of thugs looking to start fights and beat people up.

Fuck you and your attempts to define this as some peaceful protest.

Hey, here’s a wild idea: let’s draw a line between speech and action, where you’re allowed to say anything, no matter how offensive, but you just can’t assault people? I think’s a good idea. I know it might sound a little wild to you, but I think it could catch on, maybe even become part of the Constitution. Whataya think?

Pointing out that your political party is welcoming haven for violent white supremacists is not a violation of the first amendment. But nice attempt at deflection!

Whoosh. :slight_smile:

Yeah, and I’ve talked about the actions. 49 dead, and as many wounded, by right wing violence since Trump became President.

But there are obvious reasons to draw a line between violent actions, and Trumpian, Foxian, and Republican Party speech that planted the notion that actions such as these might be necessary to save America from Soros and Jews and CNN and Democrats.

You bet, free speech is part of the Constitution. That doesn’t mean speech is always harmless.

It has to be noted, for all the more recent readers, that magellan01 came to the SDMB while he was/is a consumer of racist information, nowhere has he demonstrated later that he has stopped to feed the wrong wolf.

He’s a homophobe, too, as long as we’re discussing histories.

There’s an ad playing on a local radio station here in Topeka, sponsored by the Republicans.

It states that voting Republican is the only thing that can save us from violent Democratic mob rule. Talk about ugly.

And speaking about ugly rhetoric, and what it can whip people up to I’ll tell you about the current weekly sign posted by the Westboro Baptist Church. I drive by their compound often, on the way to the local dog park. Did you think that gays were their only target? Then you ought to see:

GOD TO JEWS! NO SHABBAT SHALOM UNTIL YOU REPENT!

If you had “yoga studio” in the “Guess where an alt-right monster will open fire next?” game, you’re a winner!

I’d be really happy to never again fill in a square in that sort of bingo card.

…fake news. The cat at 1:47 most definitely was not riding a Roomba.

:: skips to 1:52 :: Huh. I suppose it depends on how one defines “riding.”

Uh what? He did? Are you sure? :dubious:

What is rather unfortunate, is that when trump and his ilk are removed and imprisoned, his supporters will just crawl back under their rocks to hope someone like trump will dig them out again.

Not quite sure how to educate people like Magellan and Octopus. It seems it can’t be done. It will take strength for us on the side of good to ignore them and make a better world until they finally die off in the light of day.

When that speech fuels violence. there’s a problem. When the person speaking it amps up and refuses to “tone it down”, and the exact individuals he NAMES are getting bombs - including ex presidents -the connection between words and action is obvious. And deliberate. When he is the PRESIDENT, it is a fucking PROBLEM.

As for Octopus, go fuck yourself you alt right Nazi bastard.

Hitler “just said words” too. So again, go fuck your self you sorry ass piece of filth.

Side of good? This isn’t D&D.
