That's out of context - she clearly wasn't intending to do that. 3. So ? 4. So ? You ask about Conservatives and I answer, then you make general comments like: -Some conservatives condemn white supremacists -Alex Jones made a claim -Some guy ... You're reinforcing my points that rightista logic forces us to never offend people in these ways. I'm fine with offending people if you intend to offend a deserving opponent, and apologizing if you offend unintentionally. That's how civilized people work. 2. No it's not. Absolutely not. It's in concordance with what Hasan Piker said. Also a Muslim Democrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilhan Omar diminishes the importance of thousands of lives lost in a single day by Muslim terrorists. Her statment regarding 9/11 has been severly twisted by the media. Only using part of the bit she overall said to make her look bad. The media does this constantly to the ones they despise. A line similar to "Do you think I like to kill people?" can be clipped to "I Like to kill people ...." creating a completely different narrative. And that's what was done to Omar by the media.

The challenge was to see if anyone could clearly show Sanders is a communist. The only things put out were tripe and nonsense. Nothing substantial. Par for the course for certain members who want to merely shitpost. I already posted your boy having his honeymoon in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. You can pretend that was something folks just did back then...but you'd still be pretending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So his glowing portrayals of Marxists like Debs and Gramsci are just coinkydinks?...Bernie doesn't REALLY believe in what those Marxists believed in. Well, then...in that case...he's a liar rather than a Commie. While we're here, what's the difference between a Marxist, a Socialist and a Communist? What's YOUR definition...

That turn of phrase fits the point she was trying to make, which is that Muslims who had nothing to do with the act are persecuted for it. And they continue to be. You make some point about right-wingers denouncing the Churchill shooting - well nobody demands Conservatives denounce every one of these things ? Why should they ? In fact, they go the other way and make lies attributing these acts to others and still get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, that kind of train of thought usually was used in a reading comprehension practice. Q: Omar used the phase "some people did something". What is she refer to? BTW, I don't want to hijack this thread with Omar's stuff unless she has put her name in the hat. Can someone unmerge the thread?

May be or may be not, but he said this, I hope he don't mean any CPC political movement Quote “what we have to say about China in fairness to China and it’s leadership is, if I’m not mistaken, they have made more progress in addressing extreme poverty than any country in the history of civilization, so they’ve done a lot of things for their people.” --- Bernie Sanders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 VP Joe Biden has always been a gaffe machine....now he is a very senile gaffe machine on the campaign trail: Quote As he campaigns for president, Joe Biden tells a moving but false war story “This is the God’s truth,” Biden had said as he told the story. “My word as a Biden.” Except almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect. Based on interviews with more than a dozen U.S. troops, their commanders and Biden campaign officials, it appears as though the former vice president has jumbled elements of at least three actual events into one story of bravery, compassion and regret that never happened. http://www.startribune.com/as-he-campaigns-for-president-joe-biden-tells-a-moving-but-false-war-story/558812991/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China has a very large middle class that has exploded in the past 20 years. Mainly because a lot of corporations (many of them American) outsourced their manufacturing to China. They benefited immensely from all of that. However if you asked Sanders what he thinks of the Chinese leadership, he'd say something very different.
