Argus Posted February 5, 2017 Report Posted February 5, 2017 I'm trying to recall the last time a Left wing speaker had his or her speech shut down by mobs of violent conservatives. Perhaps someone can help me out.

When a bunch of right-wing nuts decided to attack minorities and Muslim women, paint swastikas on buildings etc. after Trump's win, that had nothing to do with the general conservative demographic, right? Can't have it both ways; either the nuts are fringe elements on both the liberal/conservative sides, or they're not. Quote

Mobs of right wing nuts attacked minorities and muslims and painted swastikas? Sounds like typical leftie spin. The sight of the progressives wringing their hands and whining and going on marches and hand-holding campaigns with Muslims when a few swastikas were painted around Ottawa was a sight to behold. Turned out to be one teenager. Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

I just saw the news! Well? What's wrong with his response? Is Putin convicted of murdering anyone? Was he convicted of ordering the killing of anyone? So Trump says we have killers in the USA! That's the same way we talked about Hillary - people around her are dying! The connotation? She's getting them murdered to shut them up! The bottomline: you can't make any condemnation such as an accusation of murder, if there's no conviction! What do you think? He's President now.....he ought to be careful of what he says! You want him to be stupid enough to get slammed for defamation? To sour what could be a diplomatic relations with Russia over something like hearsay? Boy..... Edited February 5, 2017 by betsy Quote

Again, he did not say something reasonable like "we don't know conclusively that Putin is a murderer" (because that would just make him look stupid and naive). He said, to paraphrase, "murder? So what? We have murderers too!" This is psychopathic and insane. I suspect you must be having misgivings about supporting his candidacy now, judging by your rambling tangent about Hillary.

Presumably, suicide hotline call numbers have subsided, although I cannot be sure. Also, seems like the leftist protestors reaction far exceeds the kind of hostility that was Obama faced, when he became president. The right certainly did react and protest, but nothing like this.

Here's the problem, in some cases those bad guys were planted by people who worked very closely with the Linton campaign. You've heard of n agent provocateur, I assume? This is the sort thing they do. Democratic heads roll after video shows agitators planted at Trump rallies The first video shows Democratic strategists discussing how they hire agitators — including union members, homeless people and the mentally ill — to incite violence by provoking Trump supporters on camera at campaign stops. Project Veritas released a second video Tuesday showing Mr. Foval brainstorming over ways to commit voter fraud, such as by busing people from one state to another, while appearing to indicate that it had already been done in Iowa. I don't know about you people, but I find that among the most damning testimony about the kind of intrigue that's going on. Quote
Topaz Posted February 5, 2017 Report Posted February 5, 2017 I just read online that he US congress has a Bill floating.. its for to declare war on Iran or maybe an invasion of Iran.

Why would the interviewer even ask along that line? Trump was likely being sarcastic. Imagine him saying political murder is no big deal...... He asked religious leaders to pray for Arnie's Apprentice rating (I caught his smile at the end of that). If you hadn't noticed, Trump's got an odd sense of humor.
