Ferguson as a Left/Right Issue
Posted on 11/25/14 at 8:59 am
Posted on 11/25/14 at 8:59 am
A poster on here yesterday said that people were treating this absolutely as a left/right political issue.
I'm still having a hard time grasping why this has to be seen in a partisan politics prism.
I see this as the justice system not getting enough evidence to indict and then all hell breaks loose because people didn't get their way.
I personally didn't have a dog in the fight but if you want to say that I am for the "right" on this issue, I guess this means that I am a fan of not bringing charges to someone without enough evidence and I am against animalistic rioting behavior.
Can someone point me in the direction of the left/right issue in this case (other than race as a cop out)? Thanks.

Never allow an opportunity to polarize and divide go to waste

so you are saying the people in Ferguson are acting just like Obama?

I think it became a left/right issue when our leftist President and Attorney General made the comments they made before knowing any of the facts aside from what we now know as lying witnesses to the incident.
It is a left/right issue when the left jumps all over a white man killing a black man in self defense even though the thousands of black-on-black killings are virtually ignored by the race-baiters on the left.
It has always been and will continue to be so.

I did notice a lot of the left leaning posters on here acted like they weren't into the case and were nonchalant about the results but when the announcement came last night many were in a mini melt mode about it.

It became a left/right issue when Obama took the liberty of butting in after the verdict. There was no reason for him to make a statement. All he is doing is driving the racial wedge deeper and deeper.

Of course its a left right issue. You may not like it but it is obvious. There were no conservatives rioting last night. Look at the political websites. The Left is po'ed about no indictment.

This ain't left/right issue IMO. Even the lefties on this board know the evidence and outcome are pretty just on this one..Just haven't seen it. There are some bad cops out there, and sometimes good one's get caught up in the moment, but that just didn't happen here..

If a cop shot one of the Bundy protesters under similar circumstances. I suspect for many on both sides, their reaction would have been polar opposite. That's what makes it a left/right issue.

this is the world the left strives for, this is why they are always on the side of hatred

That's really my point of the thread. Why was the left hell bent on making it a "winning" issue for their side?
What is the end game for hitching their wagon to this over blown issue?

They thrive off of dissatisfied masses. Promise hope and change. Vote for them and things can be different.

The Left loves division, loves self segregation, loves having a side to pit against another side when needed. They hate authorities that are part of a capitalist system and believe violent unrest can lead to change.

You guys have been flogging this issue for months. "Stock up on ammo," yada yada. Don't act like it's only the left.

It's a great display of how coastal interests and media are totally okay inciting riots in the flyover states. CNN has been particularly irresponsible with their coverage.
This has also given every politician a soap box to stand on. The race baiters will use the fear and hatred behind these riots to crack the whip and keep those urban blacks voting the right way. Libertarians will be condemning the police for using any kind of force.
We lose sight of the fact that this little shite robbed a convenience store and was dumb enough to pick a fight with an armed cop. He's a thug, not a martyr anyone wants for their cause.

Most here treat everything that way. It's comical.

One thing I learned long ago is that there are left wing organizations that will show up at protests which have absolutely nothing to do with their cause.
IE, if there is a big rally to save the earth from global warming you will see signs in the crowd representing everything from PETA (animal rights) to NARAL (abortion rights) that have nothing to do with environmentalism.
Similarly you can bet that there are left wing organizations involved in these riots today that have nothing to do with civil rights or racial justice.
David Horowitz explained the motivation for this phenomena. It's all about 'taking down the system', 'speaking truth to power', etc.
