Same Party, Different House

As the board resistance jokeman TLD once said (only thing I've ever agreed with), "bad people do bad things." Does that nugget of wisdom only count for brown people?
Of course it applies across the board.
What's hard is watching the MSM turning this into an "us vs them" situation...exactly what the F'ing lunatic in NZ wants. We're playing right into his hands.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:40 amOf course it applies across the board.
Man's capacity for evil is well recognized. So, too, however, is man's capacity to organize to commit evil acts.
Should we take seriously the threat of violence fomented by Islamic extremism? (without ignorantly saying "Islam hates us"); I say yes.
Can't we accurately say that white nationalism is a serious and growing, violent threat? (without saying that white people hate us)?
Why so hard to say that?
I'd happily embrace your sentiment if Fox and the President and his racist cadre weren't so fast to divide us at every turn, "Islam hates us", "invaders", rapists, etc.tech37 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:46 amWhat's hard is watching the MSM turning this into an "us vs them" situation...exactly what the F'ing lunatic in NZ wants.

I think this is literally true of white nationalists/white supremacists, although just like other perpetrators of evil, individuals within such a movement are capable of redemption. They aren't, however, "good people" until they actually reject such evil ideology.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:51 amWhite nationalist are bad people. Just like extremist of all ilk.

Stop apologizing for him.Oh BS...leave to you to mention Trump. No one is apologizing for anyone. Try to come up with a new, hopefully accurate angle mdlax.
We otherwise agree that the goal of these violent extremist terrorists (of any stripe) is to gain attention to their ideology of fear and hate. We need to be consistent and even handed in our rejection of those twisted evil ideologies, and vigilant in our support of those unfairly tarred by others simply for their skin color, their country of origin, their religion, etc. Right again, and that includes Omar. Please explain why she is still on the House Foreign Affairs and Education and Labor committees? Wasn't it just last year that jews were slaughtered while praying in Pittsburgh?
Absolutely I'm going to mention Fox, Trump and his racist cadre. But sure the list could be longer.tech37 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:06 pmMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:54 amI'd happily embrace your sentiment if Fox and the President and his racist cadre weren't so fast to divide us at every turn, "Islam hates us", "invaders", rapists, etc. Well of course, you're stating the obvious.tech37 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:46 amWhat's hard is watching the MSM turning this into an "us vs them" situation...exactly what the F'ing lunatic in NZ wants.

My point is that if you support those who spew the hate they do, on the basis of race, country of origin, religion, you've got a huge credibility problem dismissing white nationalism as more than bad people do bad things, as if it's not a very serious, growing threat around the world and in the USA.
Exactly what's not "accurate"? What's not accurate is, I'm not a Trump "apologist."
Ok, you bring up Omar. I'm very concerned about the ignorance she displayed, the anti-semitic tropes she used. I'd sure as heck hope she is getting an education on the subject and is going to learn and grow. If she doesn't, she should get little leeway going forward. So you're giving her the benefit of the doubt...why is that?
But where were you on Steve King's years of racist statements? How many chances did he deserve? I'm a Republican and it disgusted me. Obviously he got what he deserved...that's why Omar should should be subjected to same scrutiny/party discipline. Otherwise, if you don't agree then you yourself are an "apologist."
Where were you on the "Donald Trump calls for all Muslims to be banned from entering the country"? "Islam hates us"? "we're looking into it" (in reference to what to do with Muslim Americans)? Obviously (again), stupid, insensitive rhetoric.
Obviously, I could go on and on. No doubt about that.
But that's the point. Why are you providing cover to this notion espoused by our President that white nationalism isn't a serious threat?Not providing cover for anything.
It's about Omar's rhetoric, genius.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:39 pmhttps://amp.usatoday.com/amp/2716953002tech37 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:06 pmMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:54 amI'd happily embrace your sentiment if Fox and the President and his racist cadre weren't so fast to divide us at every turn, "Islam hates us", "invaders", rapists, etc. Well of course, you're stating the obvious.tech37 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:46 amWhat's hard is watching the MSM turning this into an "us vs them" situation...exactly what the F'ing lunatic in NZ wants.

Good... you're an apologist for an anti-semitic muslim congress woman. Glad you're admitting it.
Really, she's "immune from critique"???
