CNN, the Left and its Base are Complicit in the Current Toxic Atmosphere of Political Hate

Is there anyone here on the right that wants to step in and say that demagoguery of the left is going too far, and we should follow Jesus' teachings that advocate for Peace and love thy neighbor?

 

No list like this is complete without a mention of ACORN.

 

In retrospect the ricen attacks were probably more dangerous than the packages that looked like bombs.

That being said, both criminals deserve long federal sentences.

 

“I’m not a racist, you’re a racist”

 

I think it's safe to say there are nut jobs on both sides of the political spectrum. We used to just call them assholes, psychos, and nut jobs.

 

I'm not playing this "but my teams terrorist attack was less dangerous than your teams terrorist attack". I want no part of politically motivated Ricin attacks. PERIOD. Why can't you guys say the same without trying to turn every F-ing right wing terrorist attack around as a way to demagogue the left as a dangerous "mob"???

I actually think you are one of the more level headed Trump fans on the forum believe it or not. Do better than this please.

 

You're either lying or are completely oblivious to history. Go look at the states where Jim Crow laws and the KKK were prevalent and tell me which party those states overwhelmingly vote for now. You're ignoring 150 years of political history when you spew garbage like this, it really makes you look dumb.

 

Jim Crow and KKK were the Southern Democrats. Northern Republicans and dems defeated them with the civil rights act of 1964.

 

Associating the southern Democrats from the Jim Crow era with modern day Democrats is as dishonest (or ignorant) as it gets. You agree with the OP's comparison?

 

Those southern Democrats are the current Southern Republicans base.

 

For one thing, there is no organized "left". There are 50 different progressive factions depending on the issue they identify with, it's "herding cats".
Whereas the right is a centralized message, sponsored by money, disseminated by K Street, and controlled through the Congressional leadership.

And the prime tactic of obfuscation (besides outright lying) is to blame the other guy for your faults. It's such horseshit, but if you can achieve a loyal minority you can out maneuver a disjointed majority. To accomplish: tax cuts for the rich, disregard for the environment we live in, exclusive religion, limited choice, and discriminatory practices for those people.

 

I agree that Democrats are the party of the KKK and jim crow. Cant change history. Neither party supports those positions now.

No. They are dead.

Most hate crimes per capita happens in blue states these days, but it's not much.

there you go again, tallanvor, publicizing ur ignorance

LBJ, the Southern Dem from Texas, championed the civil rights act of 1964.

JFK, the Northern Dem, had picked LBJ as his VP to effect his civil rights agenda.

five days after JFK was assassinated in Nov 1963, the new POTUS LBJ went before Congress and spoke to
a nation still stunned from the events in Dallas that had shocked the world.

Johnson made it clear he would pursue the slain President's legislative agenda—especially a particular bill that
Kennedy had sought but that faced strong and vehement opposition from powerful southern Democrats.

 

Who opposed it? Wanna go look at voting records? What party was implementing the Jim crow laws the civil rights act ended?

 

ur convenient back-pedaling amounts to a concession of defeat in the debate !


just to sum it up, for the education of tallanvor,

A Southern Dem, POTOS LBJ, championed the civil rights act of 1964,
as well as the The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965​

The bomber or shooter doesn't represent the right just like terrorists dont represent Muslims or illegal alien criminals dont represent DREAMERS

You can have it both ways

The media spent more than a year openingly questioning if Trump is a Russian spy

 

I also noticed you didn’t mention the fact that nearly all liberals condemned that violent act of terrorism without saying “well your terrorist act was bigger than mine”.

I didn’t use whataboutism when that happened. Why can’t you do the same and just condemn without playing politics? Why the need to conflate the act of attempted murder with someone in a coffee shop pulling someone’s MAGA hat off? Why the need to do this as a reactive whataboutism after 3 right wing terrorist attacks in one week? Why do you feel you need to “hit back” or defend yourself as if you have any linkage whatsoever to these attacks?

Why??

 

I absolutely think that Bernie had a responsibility to condemn the acts of the Scalise shooter. No he wasn’t responsible but he had responsibility in the aftermath to ensure his followers understood clearly what his platform did and did not stand for.

Just as the Muslim community has responsibility to speak out after violence is committed in the name of jihad, and how Trump/FoxNews have responsibility to speak out against right wing terrorism when it is done in the name of their poltical agenda such as the Pittsburg shooter insighting his act over the “invaders” coming in the Caravan.

I have no idea how the second half of your post has anything to do with the topic. The media has covered what is the single biggest political scandal since watergate. That’s their GDamn job. Has nothing to do with the surge in poltical violence.
